Reconcile with your LOE/term sheet — fees vary by state and product.

Cash to close = Down + closing costs. Commercial multifamily closing stacks lender origination, third-party reports (appraisal, Phase I, PCR, survey), title/escrow, and legal on both sides. Brokerage is often paid by seller or borrower — confirm in your LOI. Prepaids/escrows (taxes, insurance) are additional.

How this closing cost calculator works

Commercial multifamily closings stack more third-party reports than residential. This tool totals:

  • Origination = Loan amount × Origination %
  • Title & escrow = Price × Title % (adjust to your commitment)
  • Brokerage = Price × Brokerage %
  • Fixed line items: appraisal, Phase I environmental, PCR/inspection, legal (lender + borrower), survey, other/reserves
  • Cash to close = (Price − Loan) + Total closing · All-in basis = Price + Total closing

Reconcile outputs against your lender's Loan Estimate and legal engagement letter. Third-party scopes vary by agency (Fannie DUS / Freddie Optigo), CMBS, bank, and bridge — see the closing checklist and 5+ unit basics guide.

Worked example: $2.5M acquisition, $1.75M loan

Price $2.5M, loan $1.75M (70% LTV), origination 1.0% ($17,500), title 0.35% ($8,750), brokerage 1.0% ($25,000), appraisal $4,500 + Phase I $2,800 + PCR $3,200 + legal $8,500 + survey $1,800 + other $2,500.

  • Lender + third-party + title/legal/other ≈ $49,550
  • Total closing with brokerage ≈ $74,550 (2.98% of price)
  • Down $750,000 + closing $74,550 = $824,550 cash to close

Frequently asked questions

What closing costs does this calculator cover for 5+ unit deals?
It stacks commercial multifamily line items: lender origination, appraisal, Phase I environmental, property condition report (PCR), borrower + lender legal, title/escrow, survey, brokerage, and a plug for other/reserves. Prepaids and escrow cushions (taxes, insurance) are deal-specific and shown as context to reconcile with your LOE.
How is cash to close calculated?
Cash to close = Down payment + Total closing costs. Down = Price − Loan amount. Total closing aggregates origination (loan × %), title (price × %), brokerage (price × %), plus fixed third-party and legal fees. All-in basis = Price + Total closing.
What is a typical closing cost range for commercial multifamily?
Many 5+ unit acquisitions close around 1.5–3.5% of price for lender + third-party + title/legal, before brokerage. Add 1–2% if a buy-side brokerage fee applies. Agency deals run higher on third-party reports; balance-sheet bank deals can be lighter.
Are title and origination percentages or flat fees?
Both conventions exist. This tool models origination and title as % of loan and price respectively so you can toggle scenarios, while appraisal, environmental, PCR, legal, and survey are flat inputs — match your term sheet and LOE line items.
Does this include loan prepaids or escrows?
No. Tax and insurance escrows, interest impounds, and replacement-reserve deposits are lender and state dependent. Use your lender's prema and escrow disclosure to add them to cash to close after this estimate.
Can I use this for refinances?
Yes. Set price to the appraised value (or payoff context) and loan to new proceeds. Refi third-party costs are similar minus survey/brokerage in many cases — zero out lines that don't apply and compare cash-out net of closing.
