Permanent Loans

Mini-perm Loans

A mini-perm loan from NeighborWorks Capital is a flexible financing tool for the medium-term hold where you’re working to reposition, rehabilitate, restore or revitalize affordable housing and commercial properties.

What are mini-perms for?

  • Purchase and operating property
  • Position a property for long-term financing
  • Hold a property before recapitalizations, especially if assembling several for a scattered site deal


Achieving your community development goals takes time, perseverance, and responsive funding. We’ll work with you to meet your project needs and timeline.

A Loan Size that Works for You

Regardless of the size of the loan you need, our team will review your request thoroughly to find the best solution for your project.
  • Fixed interest rates
  • Loan amounts from $250,000 to $7.5 million. If you need more, reach out and we can help
  • Loan terms from 5 to 7 years with 30-year amortization
  • Interest-only payment options are available
If you’re purchasing or revitalizing a distressed property, the typical 80% loan-to-value (LTV) may make your project unfeasible. Because we’re committed to making housing affordable, we can lend up to 95% LTV.

Our lending team works to underwrite and close your loan quickly and on your schedule. From your first call through final closing, your loan officer works to meet your needs and keep your project on track.
We consider each funding request with your project goals and deadlines in mind. Your mission is to provide affordable homes that strengthen communities. We understand NeighborWorks organizations and we’re here to provide funding solutions that meet your needs and fit your timeline.
