FNMA's Role in the Multifamily Market
Fannie Mae plays a critical role in the U.S. rental housing market. FNMA's original charter in 1938 provided authority to facilitate the construction and financing of economically sound apartment housing projects. In 1984, Fannie Mae created a business division dedicated to purchasing multifamily loans. Since that time, Fannie Mae has continued to provide a consistent supply of funding to the multifamily market through all market cycles.
Currently, amid a shortage of private investment capital and credit for housing finance, Fannie Mae provides more than 50 percent of all secondary market funds available for multifamily housing finance. As of June 30, 2010, the company’s $185 billion book of roughly 42,000 multifamily loans is performing significantly better than the commercial mortgage-backed securities market.
Fannie Mae also has a history of providing liquidity for smaller rental property loans. Over the past ten years, the company has developed and refined a dedicated, small-loan platform to provide consistent liquidity to the small loan market and financed $60 billion of small loans during that time.
Fannie Mae Provides Liquidity to Capital Markets
Until the recent economic downturn led to a major contraction, multifamily housing projects were financed by a variety of lender types. As the economic downturn continued, most of these institutions (such as life insurance companies, conduits, investment banks, and depository institutions), exited the industry for some time. Notably, many of these lenders and, in particular, the commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) industry, continue to be relatively inactive, leaving Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Federal housing Administration (FHA) as the primary liquidity providers for the multifamily housing industry since 2008.
In retrospective it appears like the apartment lending arena in 2012 is beginning to pick up some pace and the secondary marketplace is showing signs of recovery. CLD offers a wide selection of apartment lending options contact one of our loan officers to assist you.
