Conventional commercial rates run 100–200 bps over prime; CMHC MLI Select on qualifying multi-family properties can beat residential rates by hitting affordability, energy, or accessibility criteria.
MLI Select insured multi-family loans price at some of the lowest rates in the country, with amortizations up to 50 years and LTVs up to 95%. Points system: affordability + accessibility + energy efficiency.
For bridge, construction, or non-conforming properties, private commercial lenders fund fast (2–4 weeks) at rates from 8%–12%.
