What types of multifamily properties does Veristone Capital finance?

Veristone Capital finances duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes, and small apartment buildings. We work with 2-unit properties up through larger multifamily complexes. The property can be stabilized and fully leased, partially occupied, or vacant and in need of renovation. Both residential and mixed-use multifamily properties are eligible.

What unit count qualifies for a multifamily loan?

Properties with 2 or more units qualify as multifamily. For 2-4 unit properties, we offer both DSCR and bridge loan programs. For 5+ unit properties, we structure loans based on the building's income performance and the investor's business plan. There is no strict upper limit on unit count, though most of our multifamily borrowers are purchasing or refinancing buildings in the 2 to 20 unit range.

What is the maximum LTV on a multifamily loan?

Loan-to-value ratios on multifamily properties depend on the loan program and the property's condition. Stabilized, income-producing multifamily properties typically qualify for higher leverage than vacant or distressed buildings. Contact us with your deal details for a specific LTV quote based on the property type, location, and your exit strategy.

Can I finance a value-add multifamily project?

Yes. Value-add multifamily is one of the most common deal types we fund. Investors use our bridge loans to acquire underperforming or partially vacant buildings, renovate units, raise rents, and then refinance into permanent financing. We can structure loans that include rehab funds released in draws as work is completed.

Does Veristone Capital offer DSCR loans for multifamily rentals?

Yes. Our DSCR loan program works well for stabilized multifamily properties with consistent rental income. Qualification is based on the property's net operating income relative to the debt service, not your personal tax returns or W-2s. This is the preferred exit strategy for investors who acquire and renovate multifamily buildings using short-term bridge financing.

Are bridge loans available for multifamily acquisitions?

Yes. Bridge loans are a strong fit for multifamily acquisitions where speed matters or the property does not yet qualify for conventional financing. Common scenarios include buying a building with below-market rents, acquiring a property with deferred maintenance, or purchasing from a motivated seller on a tight timeline. Bridge terms typically run 12 to 24 months.

How does multifamily underwriting differ from single-family?

Multifamily underwriting focuses heavily on the property's income and operating expenses rather than comparable sales alone. We review rent rolls, vacancy rates, operating costs, and the local rental market. For value-add deals, we also evaluate the borrower's renovation plan and projected rents after improvements. Single-family loans rely more on a straightforward appraisal and the borrower's track record.

What exit strategies work for multifamily loans?

The most common exit strategy is refinancing into a long-term DSCR loan or conventional mortgage once the property is stabilized and producing income. Some investors exit by selling the property after completing renovations and increasing rents. We evaluate every deal with the exit strategy in mind and structure loan terms to align with the borrower's timeline.
