Transaction Description
George Smith Partners secured $9,050,000 of refinance loan proceeds with a national balance sheet lender for a 47,000 square foot medical office building in the San Gabriel Valley, approximately 25 miles east of downtown Los Angeles. Fixed at 3.51% for five years and sized to 60% of value, the loan will amortize over 25 years and carries a yield maintenance prepayment penalty. There was no origination fee and the portfolio lender paid for all third party reports.
Challenge
The property is owned under a Tenants-In-Common (TIC) structure, precluding most capital providers from funding the non-single purpose borrower. The TIC ownership also created a need for extensive documentation on all investors. Our secondary market location and nearest hospital located eight miles from the subject added additional drag on the refinance request.
Solution
Our balance sheet capital provider accepted the TIC structure subject to underwriter all individuals with ownership over 20%. Historical financial data documented the remarkable stability of cash flow with medical office tenants despite not being adjacent to a hospital. GSP surveyed the market and demonstrated that although the property was not located near a hospital, it offered medical providers and services that were unique to the area. This resulted in high patient volume and long-term tenants.

$6,870,000 Cash Out Refinance of Medical/Office Building; Los Angeles, CA
October 8, 2019
Transaction Description:
George Smith Partners secured a $6,870,000 cash-out refinance loan for a 43,435 square foot medical/office property in Los Angeles. The loan represented 70% of value and a 1.25x debt coverage ratio. Our team helped the Sponsor secure the previous loan about a year ago at a time when the Property had 20% vacancy. Due to the considerable upside potential, the Sponsor had deliberately chosen a loan with no prepay. Since then, they successfully signed several new leases and achieved 100% occupancy.
In a survey of the market, GSP found that other lenders were limited by a higher stress rate, an above-market vacancy factor, or a lower LTV constraint. The selected Capital Provider had none of these constraints and was able to provide proceeds $300,000 higher than the rest of the market. The new Capital Provider was also able to provide the Sponsor full credit for the new leases without a seasoning requirement. The Capital Provider also included cash flow from month-to-month tenants and short-term tenants in their underwritten cash flow. As a result, the loan provided a considerable return of equity to the Sponsor. The loan was quoted at a rate of 5 year CMT + 2.55% with no floor. During application, the index rate declined by about 30 basis points. At loan approval, the rate was fixed at 3.98% for 5 years.

$4,500,000 Cash-Out Refinance of Medical/Office Building
May 16, 2018
George Smith Partners secured a $4,500,000 cash-out refinance loan for a 43,435 square foot medical/office property in Los Angeles. Within the past year, the Borrowers had successfully secured a number of new leases, considerably improving cash flow. GSP sourced a lender to pay off the in-place loan and provide a partial return of equity. Although the property has several anchor tenants under long term leases, multiple tenants continue to operate under month-to-month leases. GSP demonstrated that these tenants had remained in place for several years and maintain a close relationship with the Sponsors. Because of this relationship, our capital provider included cash flow from month-to-month and short-term tenants in their underwritten cash flow. The loan closed 50 days from application.
