A mixed-use building confuses most lenders because it is two asset classes stacked on top of each other. A residential underwriter sees a storefront and stops; a commercial underwriter sees apartments and reprices. This card is written for exactly that shape: stabilized apartment space with retail or office, in the 5 to 8 unit band.
The published terms are up to 70% LTV and rates from 7.90% private and 6.00% institutional, on terms of 1, 2, 3 and 15 years with amortization out to 25 years. The card names purchase, refinance and cash out refinance programs as all available, so the same structure covers acquiring the building, replacing a maturing loan and pulling equity back out of one that has appreciated.
Two eligibility lines are worth reading closely. The location requirement is a metro area of 250k or more people, the same test as the multi-family card. And property age carries no restriction at all, which matters because the buildings that hold this shape are usually old: a 1920s main street block with four flats above two shops is a normal file here rather than an exception. Flexible credit parameters are published as a benefit.
Flexible financing for mixed-use properties with 5-8 units. Purchase, refinance, and cash out refinance programs available. Hybrid loan terms, flexible credit, and high loan amounts for stabilized properties in major metro areas.
