If you are black balled from being able to use Agency debt, you will severely handicap yourself from being an apartment syndicator.

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.

Well, you probably won’t do that again! If you cannot close; the seller WILL take your earnest money. Before you expose your own money to a possible loss (in this case- without having a creditable lending source) you must have an in-depth conversation with a lending decision maker. Your lender is your biggest partner, and you must get them to invest in the deal, too! Be completely transparent to the lender.
