Although the single-family rental (SFR) sector’s profile expanded after the 2007-2010 subprime mortgage crisis, the number of its households slid between 2016 and 2020 as many rentals transitioned into owner-occupied homes.

A loan closing is only the beginning of the borrower-lender relationship. Partnering with a lifecycle lender that also services its loans gives borrowers continuity from origination through servicing.

With loan origination, support and service offices located throughout the country and experience with funding multifamily and commercial real estate loans across all 50 states, Arbor supports the financial needs of its clients no matter where their business or portfolio takes them.
