About Multifamily Apartment Buildings Financing
Apartment buildings with five or more units represent one of the most compelling investment categories in the Dallas-Fort Worth market, and Hard Money Lenders of Dallas provides the fast, asset-based financing that investors need to compete for and execute on these opportunities. Our multifamily program covers loans from $250,000 to $10,000,000, with closings in 2-4 weeks — the speed required to win deals in today's competitive Dallas apartment market.
Dallas-Fort Worth is one of the most active multifamily markets in the United States, driven by population growth that consistently exceeds 100,000 new residents annually. The corporate headquarters ecosystem anchored by Toyota, AT&T, JPMorgan, and dozens of other major employers imports high-income tenants with rental housing demand. Domestic migration from California, Illinois, and New York brings renters accustomed to urban apartment living who find Dallas's product quality and price points highly favorable. International migration, particularly from Latin American and Asian markets, adds a diverse tenant base that is particularly concentrated in suburban apartment markets around Plano, Richardson, and Irving.
Value-add apartment investing is the strategy most active in our multifamily lending portfolio. Dallas has a significant inventory of aging garden-style apartment complexes — built in the 1970s-1990s in markets including Garland, Mesquite, Carrollton, Lewisville, and parts of North Dallas — that are generating below-market rents due to deferred renovation. Investors who acquire these complexes, renovate units to current standards, and re-lease at market rents generate both immediate cash flow improvement and significant long-term appreciation. Our bridge financing provides the capital to execute this strategy.
Stabilized apartment buildings seeking bridge-to-agency refinancing, multifamily acquisitions requiring fast closing to beat competing offers, and portfolio-level acquisitions spanning multiple properties are all within the scope of our commercial multifamily program.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum unit count for your multifamily commercial program?
Properties with 5 or more units qualify for our commercial multifamily program. Properties with 2-4 units are handled through our small multifamily residential program. The distinction affects underwriting approach, documentation requirements, and available loan structures.
Do you finance value-add apartment complexes with high vacancy in Dallas?
Yes. High-vacancy multifamily properties are a core part of our value-add program. We evaluate the renovation plan, projected rents based on market analysis, and realistic lease-up timelines. Properties that don't qualify for conventional or agency financing due to occupancy or condition are often ideal candidates for our bridge program, providing capital to execute stabilization before transitioning to permanent financing.
How do you handle multifamily acquisitions with existing below-market leases?
We underwrite existing leases at contract rent and analyze the path to market rent as leases expire and are renewed. In high-demand Dallas markets where rents have risen significantly, existing below-market leases often represent significant upside that improves cash flow without requiring capital investment. We include this rent growth trajectory in our underwriting analysis.
Can foreign national investors borrow for Dallas apartment buildings?
Yes. Our foreign national multifamily program accommodates international investors without US credit history. Asian investors from China, Taiwan, and South Korea and Latin American investors from Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil are active in the Dallas apartment market. We require a valid passport, minimum 30% down payment, and international income or asset documentation.
What is the typical timeline from application to closing on a multifamily deal?
Most multifamily bridge loans close within 2-4 weeks. Simple acquisitions with available rent rolls, operating statements, and clean titles close at the faster end. Complex value-add deals with multiple components may take 3-4 weeks. Either timeline is substantially faster than the 60-90 days required by agency or conventional commercial lenders.
