Old Capital Real Estate Investing Podcast with Michael Becker & Paul Peebles

Uh-oh...do not find yourself on the Fannie Mae Bad List of apartment operators. If you get on that list…you can be temporarily or permanently stopped from borrowing with Fannie or Freddie. Both Fannie and Freddie are very, very serious on how you operate and maintain your apartment building. They are your largest partner and require you to continually maintain the asset. If you are black balled from being able to use Agency debt, you will severely handicap yourself from being an apartment syndicator. Michael Becker has purchased over 10,000 apartment units between Dallas and Austin Texas. He is a former commercial banker and has a unique perspective of being of a former 'loaner- of money' and is now a large "owner- of commercial real estate."

Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) is the new index that both Fannie, Freddie and some bridge lenders use for their adjustable rates. Remember, index + profit margin = interest rate. The more stable the index…the more stable the rate. In the last few years, the London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR) was the preferred index. BUT…regulators thought that LIBOR could be manipulated and now we have: SOFR. SOFR is consider a 'less risky' index.

A fortune cookie once said, "May you live in interesting times!" Today, in the capital markets and the pandemic, we certainly live in interesting times. Your biggest partner in an apartment transaction is the lender. The lender brings to the table about 70-80% of the funds you need to close on your apartment. You want to know what is working and not working for apartment lending. We sit down with loan officers at Old Capital to discuss all types of lending opportunities. Is Fannie & Freddie still lending? Should you consider a Bridge loan to get higher leverage? Are some syndicators having problems in raising investors' money? If rates are going to be low for a while…should you consider an adjustable rate? A great discussion to listen to.
