Agency Loans

Agency loans provide government-backed financing with competitive terms for investors and developers looking to acquire, refinance, or construct multifamily properties with five or more units. These loans offer long-term stability, attractive interest rates, and flexible repayment options, making them an ideal choice for expanding your real estate portfolio.

What Are Agency Loans?

Agency loans are multifamily-focused financing solutions sponsored by government-backed entities, designed to support the acquisition, development, and refinancing of large-scale residential properties. Offered primarily through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, these loans provide: 

  • Lower interest rates compared to conventional financing 
  • Non-recourse options for borrower protection 
  • Longer loan terms (up to 30 years) 
  • High leverage financing, often up to 80% LTV 

Additionally, HUD/FHA-insured loans support affordable housing and community development projects, ensuring accessibility to capital for developers focusing on workforce and low-income housing initiatives.
