What Is a Blanket Loan and How Does It Work?
A blanket loan covers all the debt on multiple properties under a single mortgage with one payment, one servicer, and one set of closing costs. For multifamily investors who own apartment buildings, assisted living facilities, or mixed-use properties, a blanket loan simplifies both the financing process and ongoing portfolio management. Lenders commonly require a 1.0x-1.25x DSCR for qualification.
Blanket loans have been a trusted tool for real estate investors for decades. They remain popular because of their flexibility and the ability they give borrowers to consolidate different types of loans under one mortgage. Conventional lenders cap investors at 10 financed properties under Fannie Mae guidelines, but blanket programs have no such ceiling. Portfolio investors managing 5+ properties can save thousands annually by consolidating into a single blanket mortgage rather than tracking multiple payment schedules, interest rates, and maturity dates.
How Do Blanket Loans Help You Save Time and Money?
The primary advantage of a multifamily blanket loan is consolidation: one mortgage replaces multiple individual loans, eliminating the overhead of juggling separate lenders, payment dates, and escrow accounts. Blanket loans can save investors 15-30% on total closing costs compared to financing each property individually, since you pay one origination fee and one set of title and appraisal charges.
Beyond the cost savings, blanket loans offer strategic advantages for portfolio growth. With a single lender relationship and a unified mortgage structure, you can negotiate better terms as your portfolio expands. Our multifamily blanket loan program also features a release clause that allows you to sell individual properties from the portfolio without triggering a full payoff of the entire loan — giving you the flexibility to rebalance your investments as market conditions change.
Is There a Limit on Funding for Multifamily Investors?
Borrowers and brokers have access to an unlimited fund, backed by experienced professionals, eager to lend on make-sense opportunities. Our attractive financing options feature flexible seasoning, reasonable underwriting guidelines, unlimited properties, and unlimited cash out options. Rate-and-term refinances have flexible seasoning requirements, while cash-out refinances typically require 180-day ownership seasoning. Whether you are acquiring your first multifamily building or adding to an established portfolio of apartment complexes, our program scales with your ambitions. Call us today to discuss your specific financing needs.
Unlike conventional lenders who impose strict limits on the number of financed properties, our multifamily blanket loan program has no cap on portfolio size. This means investors can continue to acquire income-producing apartment buildings, assisted living facilities, and mixed-use properties without hitting artificial lending ceilings. Our experienced underwriting team evaluates each deal on its own merits, focusing on cash flow, DSCR, and the overall strength of the investment rather than arbitrary portfolio limits. Investors who want long-term rate certainty can lock in a 30-year fixed rate, while those who prefer to qualify without tax returns can explore our stated income program.

Why Choose Our Multifamily Blanket Loan Program
Our expanded approval program gives apartment building investors access to captive equity with competitively priced fixed-rate mortgages. Whether you own a single 5-unit complex or a portfolio of multifamily properties across the country, our make-sense underwriting approach means more deals get funded.
With up to 80% LTV, loan amounts from $250K to $25M, and 30-year amortization schedules, our program is built for serious multifamily investors who need flexible, scalable financing solutions.
What Are Expanded Approvals for Multifamily Investors?
Our expanded approval program gives multifamily investors access to captive equity through asset-based underwriting rather than conventional income verification. Whether you're acquiring apartment buildings, refinancing hard money loans, or pulling cash out of your portfolio, our program is designed for income-producing properties secured by at least 5 leases. The national rental vacancy rate sits at approximately 6.6% according to U.S. Census Bureau data, and well-occupied multifamily assets in strong markets qualify readily.
Traditional lenders often reject experienced investors simply because of past credit events, self-employed income structures, or portfolio complexity. Our program takes a different approach. We evaluate the strength of the underlying assets -- rental income, occupancy rates, and property condition -- rather than relying solely on personal credit scores. Investment property rates typically run 0.50-0.75 percentage points above primary-residence rates, but our asset-based underwriting philosophy means that if your properties generate solid cash flow and meet our DSCR requirements, you have a strong path to approval regardless of your personal financial history.
Unlimited Cash Out
Cash-out refinances typically require 180-day ownership seasoning. Rate-and-term refinances have flexible seasoning requirements.
No Property Limits
Finance unlimited properties under a single blanket mortgage. Scale your multifamily portfolio without constraints.
Entity-Based Lending
All loans close in LLCs or corporations, providing proper legal separation between personal and investment assets.
Blanket loans for multifamily properties eliminate the complexity of managing separate mortgages on every building
How Do You Choose Which Blanket Loan Fits Your Needs?
Choosing the right blanket loan depends on several factors specific to your investment strategy and portfolio composition. Consider the size of your multifamily portfolio, your short-term and long-term investment goals, and whether you prioritize lower monthly payments through interest-only options or faster equity building through fully amortizing structures. Investors who plan to hold properties for the long term may benefit from a 7 or 10 year fixed-rate term, while those pursuing a value-add strategy with a planned exit may prefer a shorter 3 or 5 year term with maximum flexibility.
All of our loans are full recourse and close in LLCs or corporations, giving you proper legal separation between personal and investment assets. For investors with credit challenges, our expanded approval guidelines focus on the property's income performance rather than personal credit history alone. Our team at Rental Home Financing will work with you to analyze your portfolio, evaluate your DSCR, and recommend the optimal loan structure for your specific situation.
