Why do you ask? Depending upon the project size, the lending would be pretty fragmented among local/regional/national banks. And, of course, only Wells above is a direct lender, so the question is a little confusing.
Underwriting is pretty similar to traditional MF, perhaps a little lower on leverage and perhaps a little higher on price, but still favorable. (Someone else can weigh in on whether or not there is agency interest here).

There are a few debt brokerage teams across the US that specialize in BTR. The business is still super new to a lot of lenders so best to start with them. Most banks don’t know whether to put it in their CRE group or their home building group.
