Multifamily Commercial Loans in Washington (Summary)

Multifamily financing in Washington is available for residential properties with five or more units and is primarily underwritten based on the property’s net operating income (NOI) and long-term financial performance. Lenders evaluate debt service coverage ratio (DSCR), occupancy trends, rent levels, borrower experience, and the strength of the local submarket.

Common Multifamily Loan Options

  • Agency loans (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac): Best suited for stabilized properties with strong occupancy and consistent operating history. These loans often offer long terms, competitive rates, and higher leverage for qualified borrowers.
  • Bank and credit union financing: Regional and local lenders throughout Washington provide flexible structures, particularly for smaller properties or experienced investors.
  • Bridge loans: Short-term financing designed for value-add projects, lease-up situations, or property repositioning, with the goal of refinancing into permanent financing once stabilized.
  • CMBS or debt fund financing: Often used for larger or more complex transactions, offering flexible underwriting but sometimes including stricter prepayment requirements.
  • Construction and rehabilitation loans: Used for ground-up development or major renovations, typically requiring borrower experience, strong financials, and a clearly defined exit strategy.

Key Underwriting Factors

  • Cash flow and DSCR: Stable income sufficient to support debt obligations is critical.
  • Occupancy and rent performance: Historical occupancy, collections, and market-supported rent levels are closely evaluated.
  • Borrower strength: Net worth, liquidity, and multifamily ownership or management experience influence loan approval and structure.
  • Property condition: Deferred maintenance or capital improvement needs may impact loan proceeds or require reserve escrows.
  • Market fundamentals: Population growth, employment trends, new supply, and submarket demand.

Typical Uses for Multifamily Financing

  • Acquisition: Purchase stabilized or transitional apartment properties.
  • Refinance: Replace existing debt, improve loan terms, or access equity through cash-out.
  • Value-add strategies: Fund renovations, operational improvements, or repositioning.
  • Ground-up development: Finance new construction with a plan to refinance after lease-up and stabilization.

Market-Specific Considerations in Washington

Washington’s multifamily market is driven by strong economic growth in major metros such as Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma, and Spokane, supported by the technology, aerospace, healthcare, and education sectors. While population growth and job creation support long-term rental demand, lenders closely monitor new construction pipelines, affordability trends, and local regulations, including tenant protections and rent-related policies in certain jurisdictions.

How to Improve Loan Approval and Terms

  • Provide complete financial documentation: Current rent roll, trailing 12-month income and expenses, and a capital improvement plan if applicable.
  • Support projections with market data: Use local rent and occupancy comparables to justify assumptions.
  • Maintain adequate liquidity: Post-closing reserves and operating capital strengthen lender confidence.
  • Match financing to the strategy: Bridge loans for transitional properties, long-term agency or bank financing for stabilized assets.

Fernando and Leanne are Amazing

Fernando and Leanne are amazing. I had many small businesses that need refinancing over the years. I have met many Brokers and there is always a catch. ALWAYS!… Use them! Once you do you will work with them forever
