ManhattanLife Lending Guidelines

 

 

Our asset criteria and lending guidelines

As a life insurance lender ManhattanLife looks for the commercial property to be self-sufficient in its ability to generate rental income and cover its own operating expenses. Therefore, our originators seek stabilized, high-quality assets with good credit tenants on long-term leases. We focus on projects that need permanent debt financing between $1MM and $15MM, with the average loan size around $5MM.

 

Below are our guidelines for permanent financing or refinancing of your commercial real estate assets.
