Commercial financing is the graduation from residential. You'll trade speed and simplicity for lower rates, longer terms, and non-recourse — but only if the property is truly stabilized and the sponsor is bankable.

Multiple lender paths exist: agency (Fannie/Freddie multifamily), local/regional bank, CMBS, and debt fund. See our comparison guide for the right lane by deal size and hold horizon.

Common questions

Recourse?

Small-balance (<$5M) usually recourse. Agency and CMBS non-recourse with bad-boy carveouts.

How is DSCR calculated?

Underwriter-adjusted NOI ÷ actual debt service. Expect the lender to normalize the T-12 lower than what the seller shows.

Can I close in a new LLC?

Yes, though most commercial lenders want the sponsor to have prior CRE ownership experience.
