NewPoint Launches Preferred Equity Product Alongside Freddie Mac Loans
PLANO, TX — (March 2, 2026) — NewPoint Real Estate Capital (“NewPoint”) is now approved to offer Preferred Equity alongside Freddie Mac loans, further expanding the firm’s integrated capital solutions platform for multifamily borrowers nationwide. This new offering enables sponsors to pair senior agency financing with preferred equity in a coordinated structure designed to enhance overall transaction flexibility while streamlining both execution and servicing.
Freddie Mac’s guidance surrounding preferred equity investments has opened the door for borrowers seeking additional capital while maintaining the long-term stability and competitive pricing associated with agency debt. NewPoint’s new product is designed to complement Freddie Mac loans by providing an additional layer of capital to support acquisitions and refinancings. By aligning both programs under one platform, NewPoint offers a more efficient and cohesive financing experience, reducing complexity and improving transaction certainty in today’s multifamily market.
