You're not a mom-and-pop landlord with two units and you're also not an institutional shop with a dedicated capital markets team. You're in the middle — and historically, that middle ground has been underserved by the lending market. The big agency programs were built for big loans. Local banks could handle the small stuff, but once your deal got past a certain size, things got awkward and the terms got worse. Sound familiar? That's exactly the investor Freddie Mac's Conventional Small program was built for. On April 15th, 2026, Freddie Mac renamed their Small Balance Loan program — previously called the SBL — to Conventional Small, and folded it directly into their core Conventional platform. Loan sizes run from two million to ten million dollars. The cap was raised from $7.5 million to $10 million as part of the April 2026 upgrade — meaningful for anyone who was bumping up against the old ceiling. Fixed-rate terms are now 5, 7, 10, 12, or 15 years — the 12 and 15-year options are brand new additions. Amortization goes up to 30 years. As of June 2026, rates are running approximately 5.73% ----------- **Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast]( https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1 ) iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast]( https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613 ) Website: [ www.victorjm.com ]( http://www.vic…
