UNIONDALE, N.Y., Nov. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Arbor Realty Trust,
Inc. (NYSE: ABR), a real estate investment trust and national
direct lender specializing in loan origination and servicing for
residential, multifamily, seniors housing, healthcare and other
diverse commercial real estate assets, is pleased to announce the
launch of its proprietary Single-Family Rental (SFR) portfolio
lending platform.
Single-family rentals comprise a significant portion of overall
U.S. apartment inventory, accounting for more than half of the
nation's nearly 43.4 million rental units. Since the Great
Recession, this sector has continued to expand its market share of
the overall housing market, becoming the fastest-growing segment of
occupied rental households.
"We believe the single-family rental portfolio market, which is
currently very fragmented, is as big as the multifamily market,
with unique financing opportunities available in build-to-rent,
bridge and permanent lending products," said Ivan Kaufman, President and CEO, Arbor Realty
Trust. "By bringing capital to this business, we can leverage our
national, tenured originations team and our more than 30 years of
experience in residential and multifamily housing to become a
leader in this space."
Arbor's SFR platform offers an array of loan options, including
build-to-rent, bridge and permanent financing for SFR portfolios
and multifamily properties of 20 units or less. The platform is for
borrowers seeking loan amounts of $1
million or greater. Eligible properties include a minimum of
five single-family units; single-family detached homes, townhomes
and rowhomes; as well as duplexes, triplexes and quadruplexes built
for residential use. Arbor's SFR platform offers nonrecourse and
recourse loans, with a permanent financing option offering 5-, 7-
and 10-year terms.
"The SFR market has become one of the fastest-growing asset
classes and our diversified SFR program is poised to take advantage
of this development," said Steven
Katz, Chief Investment Officer and Executive Vice President,
Residential Financing, Arbor Realty Trust. "Our platform offers
products that will address investors' unique needs and help them
make strategic investments in the SFR space."
Arbor has significant experience in residential and commercial
financing, including in small balance lending. Arbor closed more
than $115 million in SFR portfolio
transactions under the former Freddie Mac Single-Family Rental
Pilot Program before developing its own proprietary platform.
