We finance apartment building investors with credit scores as low as 650 and welcome borrowers with past bankruptcies and foreclosures on their records. Our multifamily loan programs range from $500,000 to $25 million with up to 80% LTV, entity-based LLC lending, and 30-year amortization. If your credit history has kept you away from traditional bank financing, our programs are designed specifically for your situation.
650 FICO Minimum
Credit scores starting at 650 are eligible. We focus on the property's income potential, not just your credit history.
Past BK and Foreclosures OK
Bankruptcies discharged 24+ months and prior foreclosures on your record won't disqualify you from our programs.
$500K to $25M Loan Amounts
Finance apartment buildings from half a million to twenty-five million dollars with competitive fixed-rate terms.
Entity-Based Lending
All loans close in LLCs or corporations, creating legal separation between your personal assets and investment holdings.
Why Is Multifamily Such a Strong Investment?
Multifamily housing demand continues to outpace new construction across the country, with the national rental vacancy rate at approximately 6.6% according to U.S. Census Bureau data. Multiple income streams from a single property, economies of scale on management, and lower per-unit vacancy risk make apartment buildings one of the most resilient asset classes in real estate.
For investors, the math is straightforward. A 20-unit building with one vacancy still operates at 95% occupancy. A single-family rental with one vacancy operates at zero. According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, multifamily lending volume remains strong as rental demand outpaces new supply in most metro areas. The FHFA House Price Index shows average annual home price appreciation of 4-5% nationally, which compounds across every unit in a multifamily building.
Can You Get Apartment Building Financing with Bad Credit?
Yes -- our programs accept credit scores as low as 650 and welcome borrowers with past bankruptcies (24+ months discharged), prior foreclosures, and charge-offs. We understand that business setbacks and market downturns can impact credit scores without reflecting your ability to manage profitable real estate. If you've rebuilt your financial position and the property generates solid income, we can work with you.
We also finance investors with excellent credit profiles. Most of our clients are experienced real estate investors looking for competitive terms on their multifamily portfolios through our blanket and multifamily loan program.

Finance Your Apartment Building Investment
Credit scores as low as 650, past bankruptcies and foreclosures accepted. Up to 80% LTV with entity-based LLC lending on loans from $500K to $25M.
How Does Entity-Based Lending Protect You?
All apartment building loans close in LLCs or corporations, creating a legal boundary between your personal assets and your investment obligations. The mortgage is held by your business entity, not you personally, providing proper legal separation that protects your personal wealth from any claims against the investment property.
This structure is especially valued by investors rebuilding after financial setbacks. Holding properties in properly structured LLCs -- combined with adequate insurance and legal planning -- gives you confidence as you re-enter the multifamily market. Combined with a No-Ratio DSCR loan, you can qualify based on property value without extensive personal income documentation.
