Hello, this is Shuo. So how to be qualified for multifamily loans?
Three top requirements:
- Net worth. So the cumulative net worth of the key principles in the general partnerships need to be greater or equal to the loan amount.
- Liquidity. Same group, the key principles’ post-closing liquidity [has] to be equal greater than at least 10% of the loan amount.
- The KP – same key principles – have experiences with the lender or with a business plan.
However, meeting the above requirements one team can be pre-qualified for the loans but not be pre-approved, because there’s so many details that are deal-specific and needs to be further fleshed out in underwriting.
That’s why multifamily syndication is a team sport. And as a passive investor, one may not have the net worth, liquidity, or work experiences, but still can enjoy the return and tax benefits from the investment.
