Small Balance Multifamily Lending Continues to Evolve

By Peter Margolin (top right photo)

Peter Margolin is a Director in Arbor's full-service Deerfield, IL office. He can be reached at 847-597-7031 or at pmargolin@arbor.com.

As the landscape of small balance multifamily lending continues to evolve, we have seen Fannie Mae provide liquidity into a space vacated through the loss of major players like IMPAC, LaSalle Bank and most recently IndyMac.

Lending nationwide, these three companies funded billions of loan dollars annually. While a few new players have been added, the loan volume of the replacement lenders is significantly lower that of the ones that have been lost.

Now, borrowers are looking to their local banks and Fannie Mae through the 3Max® program to pick up the slack.

The basics of the 3Max® Program are as follows:

Loan Amounts - $500,000 to $3 million ($5 million is select markets)
Loan Term – Up to 30 years
Loan Amortization – Up to 30 years
Minimum DSCR – 1.20X

Maximum LTV – 80% (75% for five-year term)

Recourse – All loans recourse except in specific markets

Interest Rates – Fixed or ARMs available

Prepayment Penalty – yield maintenance or defeasance (Fixed declining available for ARMS only)

To protect the credit quality of considerable new loan originations in the small balance arena, Fannie Mae has instituted several changes to the loan criteria. These have included loan-to-value adjustments on five-year term loans, and the change to recourse from non-recourse nationwide.

Further, several regions of the country have been hit with tougher guidelines.

The states of Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and the Orlando and New Orleans metro areas are all limited by Fannie to 65% loan-to-value, 1.35 debt service coverage and full recourse regardless of loan size.

In light of the credit crunch in the capital markets, Fannie Mae is still looking for strong loan originations in the small balance multifamily space.

We can expect continued revisions to the guidelines in order to effectively control the volume of those transactions and the quality of the borrowers behind those loans.

Challenging Economy Shows Underlying Resilience and Flexibility

UNIONDALE, NY--During Arbor's recent finance conference, "How to Navigate the Capital Markets Storm with Agency Lending" in Dallas on June 10, Dr. Sam Chandan, (top right photo) Chief Economist for Reis, Inc. outlined a number of forces that are weighing on the economy:

The housing market; the economy; inflation (how we spend our money); value of the U.S. dollar; increase in food and fuel prices; and loss of confidence in international markets (as reflected in devalued U.S. dollar).

However, he noted the underlying resilience and flexibility of the U.S. economy remains intact in the midst of most challenging adjustments.

Other stresses on the economy Dr. Chandan pointed out are:

The housing market: The pool of houses for sale has changed significantly. There were more homes built than Americans can (afford to) live in.

Corporate profits: While they have slowed significantly as of late, they will prevail over the next 1-2 years.

Oil: Our economy is more information- and services-based rather than on manufacturing. As a result, there is reduced energy consumption.

CMBS: The CMBS market has been sidelined. At its peak, almost 70 percent of all multifamily mortgages were from CMBS. As of first quarter 2008, that number has fallen to 7 percent.
