Over the past thirty years, Centennial
has been on the crest of a major trend in the competition for
investment capital for real estate. The movement to a national
capital market as the low cost provider of funds is strong
and
accelerating. The ability to access and efficiently use these
low cost funds is critical to the success of real estate
owners and developers in today’s competitive market.
Let Centennial Mortgage
show you how we can make your organization more productive.
Centennial Mortgage is a mortgage bank, providing capital
through various U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) and U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA) insured loan programs. As a HUD insured
lender, our loans are AAA rated which translates into the
lowest interest rates available, as well as
ensuring a plentiful/consistent supply of low-cost funds
to meet your real estate needs, now and in the future,
whether in Bear or Bull markets.
Centennial is also a USDA-approved lender under the Rural
Housing Service 538 and Community Facilities
programs. This allows us to provide additional sources
of funding for clients interested in rural housing or
community and public service facilities. While the HUD
programs are well suited for intense urban activity,
for
new construction in rural areas, the USDA 538 program
provides many features of the HUD programs, with
more flexibility. The Community Facilities programs allow
a greater flexibility to finance a wide array of
projects for not-for-profit entities, public agencies,
or special purpose districts. Centennial is a pioneer
in this
market, as the RHS 538 and Community Facilities programs
are not offered by many conventional lenders. We
are excited to be able to offer these new programs.
Centennial provides services to cover all aspects of
the financing process, aiding owners and developers in
ensuring the success of their projects. Centennial originates,
funds and services loans for multifamily, healthcare
and senior housing utilizing HUD mortgage insurance,
as well as multifamily housing and community facilities
utilizing USDA mortgage insurance. Centennial has a long
track record of lending success on a national basis
with HUD and USDA loans in such diverse markets as Arizona,
California, Colorado, Florida, Michigan,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Maryland, North Carolina, New York,
Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington, and West Virginia.
Although Centennial is primarily a capital source, our
clients increasingly recognize the value-added dimension
we bring to the development process. CMI has seasoned
loan officers (averaging over 22 years experience)
providing nationwide coverage through offices in Chattanooga, TN, Miami, FL, Yorba Linda, CA, and South Bend, IN. From origination and underwriting, to
loan closing and servicing, our professionals are
knowledgeable in all aspects of the commercial real estate
development process.
