| At Tuesday?s ULI multifamily summit, Federal Capital Partners' Lacy Rice said major banks are staying disciplined about multifamily lending. He says those deals generally require a 25% guarantee, 15% liquid net worth, and 75% loan-to-cost. That being said, Lacy worries unscrupulous lenders "from the depths of Manhattan" operating on a spread (instead of credit) model could make things complicated. |
