Lender mix guidance
Banks and agencies remain active for stabilized MF; LifeCos target low-leverage core. Debt funds address transitional or higher-leverage structures where pricing and covenants allow.
- Lower leverage tightens spreads materially; consider sizing at ≤55% LTV for best quotes.
- Prepayment flexibility (vs. hard yield maintenance) influences the lender set and pricing.
- For MF, agencies may be most efficient at moderate leverage; LifeCos often lead at low leverage.
- Clean environmental and updated third‑party reports reduce friction and timing risk.
- Structure (reserves/cash management) can substitute for leverage where appropriate.
- Atlanta MF remains liquid; agencies at moderate leverage, LifeCos/banks at lower leverage.
- Pipeline and absorption vary by submarket—tenancy/stabilization proofs improve pricing.
What moved pricing recently: 10-yr UST is 4.31%. 30‑day vol score 100/100 with last day move 124 bps.
Multifamily
Agencies vs. bank dynamics vary by leverage and prepay. See ranges above.
- Agencies most efficient at moderate leverage with standard prepay; LifeCos lead at ≤55% LTV.
- Mission/Affordability overlays can improve pricing where applicable.
- Consider step‑down vs. yield maintenance tradeoffs for future flexibility.
Industrial
Core product at lower leverage tends to clear tighter, especially with LifeCos.
- Distribution/logistics with strong tenancy clears tighter than older flex with rollover risk.
- Long‑term leases with quality credit help access LifeCo balance sheets.
- Higher leverage often shifts to banks or debt funds with structure.
Office
Selectivity remains elevated; structure and tenancy drive outcomes.
- Leasing rollover, capex, and TI/LC plans are central to underwriting.
- Lower leverage, partial paydowns, and/or additional recourse can broaden the lender set.
- Expect tighter covenants and reserves; model DSCR and covenants at realistic re‑tenanting.
