What to send for a Phoenix apartment loan
Start with the income the building collects today. Show renovation, lease-up and future rent assumptions separately, so the review can distinguish a stabilized refinance from a property that needs time and capital to reach its business plan.
Rent roll and document checklist
- A dated, unit-by-unit rent roll: occupancy, monthly contract rent, lease start and end dates, concessions and unpaid balances.
- Trailing 12-month operating statements and year-to-date results, with collected rent reconciled to the rent roll.
- Current tax bills, insurance terms, utility responsibilities and recurring service contracts; identify any expected changes after purchase.
- A separate schedule for vacant units: work remaining, cost to complete, expected availability and the evidence behind proposed rents.
- Purchase contract or current payoff, requested loan amount, sponsor experience, liquidity and a clear acquisition or refinance timeline.
When the building is still leasing up
Send two views of the same property: current operations and the proposed stabilized outcome. Include the cash needed to finish work and carry vacant units, the pace of leasing, and what would have to be true for the permanent refinance to repay the bridge.
A projected rent is an assumption until supported. Identify what is signed, what is collected and what is still a target. Include any applicable rent restrictions or occupancy issues for the underwriting and legal teams to review.
Read the multifamily financing playbook →A loan-sizing worksheet: income can be the limiting factor
This hypothetical example uses a $1.8 million value, a 75% loan-to-value ceiling, a 1.25× debt-service coverage requirement and an 8% annual mortgage constant. The constant means $0.08 of annual principal and interest per $1 borrowed. These are worksheet assumptions, not current pricing or approval terms.
| Sizing step | Base case | Lower-income case |
|---|---|---|
| Annual net operating income before debt service | $120,000 | $105,000 |
| Maximum annual debt service: NOI ÷ 1.25 | $96,000 | $84,000 |
| Income-supported loan: debt service ÷ 8% | $1,200,000 | $1,050,000 |
| Value-supported ceiling: $1.8M × 75% | $1,350,000 | $1,350,000 |
| Lower of the two sizing limits | $1,200,000 | $1,050,000 |
Here, $15,000 less annual income reduces the income-supported loan by $150,000 even though value is unchanged. Actual underwriting may adjust income, expenses, reserves, value and other constraints. Compare the resulting net proceeds with the purchase or payoff and all closing costs before deciding how much equity the file needs.
Document reference: Fannie Mae’s Multifamily Guide (Section 307) names property rent rolls and property operating statements among the financial documents a borrower delivers and certifies. Final requirements depend on the financing program.
