Transaction of the Week
Transaction Description:
$1,045,000 75% LTC Loan for a Class-C Multi-Family Asset in Tertiary Market. GSP arranged the 75% LTC acquisition loan from a regional bank for the purchase of a multi-family property in a tertiary Texas market. The loan is fixed for 5 Years and priced in the low-5% range. The property is 100% leased at slightly below market rents. The main obstacles to overcome were the transaction size, asset quality, and non-local first time multi-family purchaser. GSP was able to identify a local institutional lender who understood the specific sub-market and the asset type. GSP also emphasized the borrower's experience with other real estate properties and helped the lender realize the benefits of establishing a relationship for future acquisitions. This lender also agreed to allow the borrower to self-manage, netting lower operating expenses and a higher return on investment.
Term: 5 Years
LTV: 75%
Recourse
Lender Fee: 1%
Broker: Eli Wexler

Non-Recourse HOA Financing  George Smith Partners identified a 113 year-old financial institution lending to non-profit Home Owners Associations (HOAs) with a 100 door minimum. Their collateral is similar to a UCC filing and is not a Deed of Trust. The self-liquidating loan is repaid through the monthly HOA fees and does not carry a warm-body repayment guarantee. This national program may provide funds for the addition of new amenities or capital intensive upgrades and/or repairs for the housing community.
