Financing 2-4 Unit Multifamily

Hello everyone, my name is Lane Aldrich, I am with First Colony Mortgage. I oversee all the investor-facing financing for the Fourplex Investment Group. I want to take some time today to do an introduction to FIG's financing process. I'll dive into the model of FIG on the financing side and how it's a little bit different than other purchases in real estate that you've likely experienced up to this point. My goal is to make sure that you have a good introduction as to how this process works as you dive into and make a purchase with FIG.

Financing a new construction duplex, triplex, or fourplex in a masterplan community is pretty unique. A lot of times investors come to us and say "oh, I already have a bank." That's okay, but kind of not. So we want to talk about that...

It's common to have questions on how our financing works since our process is a little unique. FIG is a pre-construction model and is wholesale—so while you're in the early stages of working with us, understanding the financing process and getting pre-approved is important. To help you out, we've created this section on our site to give you short videos on our process and general info.
