EPS 272 - END OF YEAR- LOAN OFFICER ROUNDTABLE: What’s happening out there? What’s getting approved?

Listen to the commercial loan officers at Old Capital examine how the apartment market changed dramatically in 2022. In January, every apartment buyer was ecstatic. Higher leverage debt was readily available, apartment inventory was strong, prices were even higher than 2021 and every LP investor still needed to invest in apartments. In December…NOT SO MUCH. The market did a 180-degree change within 12 months…Boom! Where does that leave us? How are transactions getting done today and what type of financing is available? Should you consider fixed rate bridge debt? Are LP’s still investing?

EPS 271 - Don’t get on the BAD BOY/GIRL list with FANNIE MAE?

Santa Claus has his famous “naughty list” for bad boys and girls. No toys this year…just coal. Today, Fannie Mae - thru their DUS lenders- have a similar ‘list’ that tracks the bad and good multifamily operators. If you are on this list; called the “A Check” you may have difficulties in getting another loan from Fannie Mae. Why is this important today? Because many apartment operators recently (in the last 24 months) have originated high leveraged, non-recourse bridge loans that were supposed to be sold after the rehab, rents raised and then projected NOI being much higher OR refinanced into a Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac loan. Today… you could have a problem to sell if your NOI didn’t go up significantly or your sponsor didn’t realize that they were on the “A Check” on a previous Fannie transaction that had a problem. Don’t get coal from Fannie Mae. Listen to our conversation with two DUS loan servicers.

EPS 269 - Nick Fluellen: What does the TOP TEXAS B&C apartment broker think these days?

It’s good to be the KING in Texas Apartment Brokerage. Nick recently earned the title Executive Managing Director for Marcus and Millichap. Nick and his business partner, Bard Hoover, are consistently the top producers for the company. Nick shares his thoughts on what he sees in the apartment market with a “significant reset” on the capital markets, interest rates, inflation, valuation, sellers’ expectations on value, the challenges today of selling 40–50-year-old apartments, and then having broker tour activity down almost 80% from last year. Yikes! Nick talks about the “green shoots” and the positive reflections that he is starting to see in the apartment market in Texas. What we like about Nick-- is that he doesn’t give you broker speak…that everything is “positive” all the time. He talks about the good and the bad. Listen to the KING.
