Rising interest rates are already making a difference for apartment properties. Borrowers can no longer secure the large permanent loans that have become used to.

“Delivering full-leverage loans has become a challenge,” says Dustin Dulin, managing director in the capital markets platform of real estate services firm JLL. “It is not as easy to underwrite the deals… Back in 2015, almost every deal underwrote cleanly.”

The change is carving a hole in the budgets of borrowers who need to buy or refinance apartment properties. To fill the gap, borrowers have to come up with more equity, often either from their own balance sheets or from new equity partners. Eventually, higher interest rates are expected to get in the way of transactions—though that hasn’t happened yet.

The bifurcation of America’s malls does not appear to be ending soon, according to some retail real estate experts.

With announcements of department store closures, coupled with the troubles in the specialty apparel sector, some U.S. malls will continue to struggle, while the few top malls will continue to do just fine.

Lower-quality malls in markets with smaller populations and lower incomes will continue to close—a trend that is underway today

As the country’s top malls have already been working to reposition themselves, transforming into entertainment centers to help draw in consumers, lower-quality malls in markets with smaller populations and lower incomes will continue to close—a trend that is underway today, says Suzanne Mulvee, director of research at CoStar, a commercial real estate data firm.

Real estate has always been regarded as an equal-opportunity wealth creator. However, the caveat emptor: real estate historically has been full of scams. And, based on my experience managing distressed real estate funds, that’s the No. 1 reason smaller investors don’t invest and the final reason all real estate deals fail. It’s been close to six years since the first portion of U.S. equity crowdfunding laws went into effect in September of 2013. This means that the barrier to entry has never been lower for unsophisticated non-accredited investors to invest into deals they know little about.

Adding fuel to the desperation, the perpetually low interest rates that have existed for over a decade have acted as an implicit tax on savings. This means that most investors have been forced to take risk into unknown investment waters that are not as regulated as the public stock markets.

Multifamily investors have lots of options to choose from if they want to take out a mezzanine loan in addition to the primary mortgage on their property.

“There are more and more participants willing to make mezzanine loans,” says Ari Hirt, managing director in the debt and equity finance group at Mission Capital Advisors, a capital markets solution provider based in New York City.

The competition between these lenders is keeping interest rates relatively low for mezzanine loans, even though short-term interest rates overall are rising. Lenders are also offering creative terms and the highest amount of leverage that banking regulations will allow.

“I worry about the stupid money coming in,” says Mitchell Kiffe, co-head of national production for the debt and structured finance group in the McLean, Va. office of CBRE Capital Markets. “The discipline is still pretty good, but there is still room for ruinous competition to lead to bad underwriting.”

Available capital for mezzanine and bridge loans

Multifamily investors are able to find a lot of lenders willing to make mezzanine and bridge loans.That includes some fund managers that earlier in the cycle were more likely to invest equity in apartment development projects.
