SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Sourcing debt for multifamily acquisitions requires evaluating dozens of lender types, normalizing inconsistent quotes, and assembling accurate term sheets — a slow, error-prone manual process for CRE deal teams. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Lender Outreach: Maps a deal profile to Agency, CMBS, Bank, Bridge, and Life Company capital sources, then produces a ranked lender package with indicative terms and qualification reasoning. - Quote Comparator: Normalizes multiple lender quotes to all-in and effective rates, scores them with a weighted matrix (rate 30%, leverage 20%, flexibility, execution, prepayment, timeline), and recommends the top 3 options with risk assessments. - Term Sheet Builder: Assembles a complete draft term sheet with loan terms, reserves, closing costs, recourse, and conditions precedent, plus a financing recommendation with recalculated IRR, DSCR, and equity multiple. - Use Case: An acquisitions analyst with a 200-unit stabilized multifamily deal under contract loads the suite to identify qualified Agency and CMBS lenders, compare three quotes on total cost of capital, and generate a draft term sheet ready for legal review. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to identify and rank the best multifamily lenders for your deal, then compare the resulting quotes and build a draft term sheet for the selected option.

FAQPage Schema
How do I compare multifamily lender quotes apples-to-apples?▼

Normalize each quote to an all-in rate and effective rate including amortized fees, then compute total cost of capital over the hold period. The quote comparator scores options on rate (30%), leverage (20%), flexibility, execution certainty, prepayment terms, and timeline.

Which lenders finance stabilized multifamily acquisitions?▼

Stabilized properties with 90%+ occupancy typically qualify for Agency debt (Fannie Mae DUS, Freddie Mac Optigo) at up to 75-80% LTV, CMBS for larger loans, and Life Company debt for low-leverage long-term holds. The lender outreach skill maps your deal profile to each category.

What DSCR and debt yield do Agency lenders require?▼

Agency lenders typically require a minimum 1.25x DSCR (1.20x for affordable or green programs) and a 7-8% debt yield. Borrowers also need net worth equal to the loan amount and 9-12 months of debt service in post-closing liquidity.

Can I use this for value-add or transitional properties?▼

Yes. Properties below 90% occupancy or with renovation budgets are routed to Bridge and Debt Fund lenders offering 70-80% LTV interest-only loans with renovation holdbacks and interest reserves, with an exit strategy to permanent Agency or CMBS financing.

What happens when deal data is missing or incomplete?▼

The skills apply conservative defaults (e.g., $250-350/unit/year reserves, 2-3% NOI growth) and flag every assumption in uncertainty_flags with a LOW confidence rating. Analysis continues rather than halting, and the overall confidence score is reduced accordingly.

What are the limitations of the term sheet output?▼

The term sheet is a draft for internal use, not a binding commitment — final terms depend on lender underwriting, appraisal, and approval. Outputs enforce thresholds like 75% max LTV and 1.25x minimum DSCR, flagging breaches for manual review.
