Multi-Unit 5+ Residential

Multi-Unit 5+ Residential Mortgage Solutions

Streamlined capital solutions for the acquisition, refinancing, and construction of multi-family assets.

At Trusterra Mortgage, we understand that securing financing for multi-unit residential properties (5 or more units) requires a highly strategic approach. Whether you are an experienced investor expanding your rental portfolio, a developer breaking ground on a new project, or looking to optimize your existing debt structure, our deep network of institutional and private lenders ensures your capital structure is optimized for maximum cash flow and long-term yield.

We navigate the complexities of multi-family underwriting to deliver customized term debt, bridge financing, and construction facilities tailored to your investment timeline.

Comprehensive Financing Across the Asset Lifecycle

We provide bespoke capital structures to support your multi-family portfolio at every stage:

  • Acquisitions & Purchases: Access highly competitive conventional commercial mortgages or leverage specialized insured programs to secure high-leverage, low-rate financing for your next multi-family purchase.

  • Refinancing & Capital Equity Takeouts: Unlock equity from your existing portfolio to fund capital expenditures, lower your cost of capital, consolidate debt, or secure liquidity for your next acquisition.

  • Land Acquisition & Construction: Secure the foundational capital required to purchase raw or zoned land and fund the construction of modern multi-family developments from the ground up.

Eligible Property Types & Structures

Our lending programs are designed to accommodate a diverse range of multi-family asset classes:

Four distinct photos combined into one file, showcasing examples of rental apartments, senior retirement homes, mixed-use commercial and residential buildings, and a new condo development under construction.

Apartment & Rental Buildings

Standard residential structures with 5 or more self-contained units, from mid-rise walk-ups to high-rise apartment complexes.

Licensed Care Facilities & Retirement Homes

Specialized residential properties, including assisted living, senior housing, and licensed care facilities with customized operational structures.

 

Mixed-Use Properties

Properties combining residential units with commercial space. To qualify under multi-unit residential financing guidelines, the non-residential/commercial component must not exceed 20% of the gross floor area or the total lending value.

 

Condominium Construction Projects

Tailored construction financing solutions, including inventory loans and bridge facilities, structured specifically for multi-unit condominium developments.

The Trusterra Advantage: Conventional vs. CMHC Insured Financing

When financing multi-unit residential properties in Canada, choosing the right structure is critical to your return on investment. We help you analyze and secure the best path forward:

  • CMHC Insured Financing (including MLI Select): Capitalize on Canada’s most competitive commercial mortgage program. CMHC-insured loans offer exceptionally low interest rates, extended amortization periods of up to 40 years, and higher loan-to-value (LTV) ratios up to 95% for properties that meet affordability, accessibility, or energy-efficiency benchmarks.

  • Conventional Commercial Financing: For acquisitions or construction projects requiring rapid execution, flexible underwriting, or those that do not fit standard insurer criteria, we arrange highly customized conventional commercial mortgages through our extensive network of banks, credit unions, and private trust funds.
