Fannie Mae Supplemental Loans
The Fannie Mae Supplemental Loan is specifically designed to provide additional financing for Fannie Mae multifamily borrowers who want extra funding for their development.
Supplemental Loans for multifamily investors insured by Fannie Mae
In the world of multifamily finance, it isn’t uncommon for an investor to require an additional sum of money on top of a standard funding amount. Fortunately, the Fannie Mae Supplemental Loan is specifically designed to provide additional financing for Fannie Mae multifamily borrowers who want extra funding for their development. Starting at a minimum of $500,000, these loans offer a maximum LTV of up to 75% and fixed-rate terms of between 5 and 30 years.
Fannie Mae Supplemental Loans offer competitive interest rates and are mainly non-recourse. Plus, non-recourse Supplemental Loans are fully assumable (with lender approval and a 1% fee). Borrowers don't even have to wait long before applying, as they’re eligible for supplemental funding in as little as 12 months after the closing of their original Fannie Mae multifamily loan.
