UNIONDALE, NY– Arbor Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE:ABR), aleading multifamily and commercial mortgage lender, recently funded a Fannie Mae DUS® in Jackson, MS.

Matt Norman, of Arbor’s Bloomington office, originated the loan.

“The transaction was the finalization of a two-stage strategy, in which the shorter-term loan was used for acquisition, rehabilitation and restabilization. After the net operating income was maximized, the loan was successfully converted to a permanent Fannie Mae loan.”
