Key Takeaways

Strategy Targets Hard Asset Income

Origin Credit Advisers, an affiliate of Origin Investments, has launched a new multifamily credit fund, Globe St. reports. The strategy targets shifting real estate fundamentals and growing demand for income-producing hard assets.

The Origin Real Estate Credit Fund combines public and private multifamily credit strategies. Each investment is backed by tangible real estate assets.

Bridge Loans and Freddie Mac Exposure

The fund can invest in Freddie Mac–backed bonds, CRE CLOs, and direct loans to operators and developers. This flexible structure allows the strategy to capture multiple income opportunities across multifamily credit markets.

Notably, the strategy includes exposure to select Freddie Mac bonds. These bonds have historically shown low loss rates and strong returns. Meanwhile, government-backed housing lenders have recently reported rising multifamily delinquencies, underscoring the need for disciplined credit selection. As a result, this allocation helps distinguish the fund from many traditional real estate credit strategies.

The fund also targets bridge-to-permanent loans for properties finishing construction or entering refinancing. These loans can offer higher yields than many stabilized debt investments. However, executing these deals at scale requires deep expertise and strong operational infrastructure.

Evergreen Growth and Investor Focus

Fund president Tom Briney highlighted the fund’s evergreen approach, emphasizing indefinite fundraising and deployment to match investor expectations. The target investment size is $30M to $75M, with flexibility for the right assets. As a real estate investment trust, the fund also offers the potential for tax-advantaged distributions, aligning with the growing trend of hard asset-backed income strategies in the multifamily credit sector.
