@Dushyant Ravi is a Freddie floating rate loan with a lower (1%?) repayment penalty still available for those looking for a 5yr or less exit?

@Adriaan Sierra what is the size and term of each loan you seek?
Bridge lenders will typically want to do $5mm+ (preferably 10+mm) for 2-3 yrs and these days provide 55 - 65% LTV.
There may be some lenders that do Bridge to Perm debt.
Bridge lenders typically take 60 days to close a first-time loan.
Have you asked the previous lenders why they did not approve you?
Another option is to speak with local credit unions or lenders who may be able to do a balance sheet loan.
If the loan in between $1mm to $5mm look into a Small Balance Loan.

@Ron, anything 4 units or under will be considered as a single-family loan and not commercial.

@Herbert Fletcher seems like you could use something that gives you some tax benefits too.
Look into larger multifamily (you can scale these to 20mm-100+mm per deal). You can partner with a syndicator to start.
If you are in the Philly area, send me a DM.

Quote from @Herbert Fletcher:
If you had access to unlimited funding what would you do to make 100 million dollars? In today's market with an eye on the future. Real estate. Real estate fintech or other. Sky is the limit.
Buy $3.33B worth of 30yr Treasures. They pay 3% which is $100M
Except your lender might charge 6% for their funding ;-)
@Herbert, it is good to have big plans, but if you want serious responses, you need to provide a few more parameters. What type of interest does the lender charge? Are they lending against the asset or your net worth? It is recourse? etc etc

Agree with that. We have a couple ground up projects in the early stages and will be taking that into account when planning.

There are companies that provide this and I even believe some do a revenue share with apartments.
We had looked into this a while back for some of our properties.
Not a bad revenue stream and a nice little perk to have new EVs charging near the clubhouse/office where new prospective residents can also see them.
I got to think if EVs penetrate say 50% of the car market in the next 15 years you would need a charger on at least every other parking spot ?? a few chargers by the club house wont work as cars need 2 to 4 hours to charge with home chargers.
Jay, when we were looking at it a few years ago in a secondary market (this is where we specialize), the EV penetration was not that high. Moving forward we would just add it in the parking areas as well (the cost was not that high, just needs a good electrical source nearby).

@Lee Whitford depends on the market you are in and the quality of the deals.
e.g. We would be interested in off-market deals that are 150+ units, 2000+ vintage in the $20-$80mm range in the markets that are up and coming.

@Mark Motyl you have some good advice already.
What work do they need?
Are you planning to manage these units yourself?
Will you be inheriting the tenants? Do you want to inherit them all?
What other investment options have you looked into?
Do you want to be active or passive in the investment?
Have you looked at syndications that allow you to invest passively but get good returns?
