Ease Capital Launches New Fixed-Rate Permanent Financing Program

Ease Capital Launches New Fixed-Rate Permanent Financing Program

NEW YORK, September 16, 2024–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Off the success of Ease Capital’s (“Ease”) bridge lending program, Ease just launched a new fixed-rate loan program in partnership with a bulge bracket bank. Ease’s new multifamily and mixed-use permanent financing program offers highly competitive 5, 7 or 10-year loans, from $5-$50 Million, for stabilized and near-stabilized properties.

With the agencies tightening underwriting guidelines and banks continuing to pull back from the small balance and lower mid-market space in which they account for 60% of loans, obtaining permanent financing has become increasingly difficult for multifamily properties that have debt maturing. Ease has always focused on serving the traditionally overlooked small balance and lower mid-market segment which accounts for over 98% of multifamily properties and is now well positioned to deliver full-lifecycle solutions to our clients from construction completion through permanent financing and everything in between.

“For multifamily borrowers seeking flexible, interest-only, permanent financing with maximum proceeds, this loan program is perfect,” said Barclay Lynch, Head of Loan Originations at Ease Capital. “We will close over $300 million of bridge loans this year and this new program is a perfect complement to our existing transitional loan business and allows us to serve our clients permanent financing needs.”

Ease’s new loan program can provide non-recourse, interest-only loans, from $5-$50 Million on stabilized and near-stabilized multifamily and mixed-use properties at pricing of Treasuries + 200-300 bps, depending on leverage and term. Under the terms of the partnership, Ease runs all sourcing, sizing and underwriting internally with all loans being securitized.
