Apartment Complex Bridge Financing: Quick Close Reverse 1031 Exchange Acquisition Financing For Apartment Complex Located Outside Los Angeles

Rate: 7.5% Fixed
Term: 6 Months
Amortization: Full Term Interest Only
LTV: 65%
Prepayment Penalty: None
Guarantee: Non-Recourse

George Smith Partners arranged the acquisition bridge financing for an apartment complex that served as the up-leg of a reverse 1031 exchange. The property was located in Cudahy, CA, just outside of Los Angeles, and was operating with below-market rents. The complex nature of a reverse 1031 exchange required GSP to find and tailor a loan that complied with the specific rules and regulations of the reverse exchange. For example, as the 1031 accommodator is taking title to the property until the full exchange is completed, a non-recourse loan is required. With this in mind, it was crucial for GSP to work with a lender comfortable with this type of transaction and exchange. GSP ultimately identified a lender who could close in a timely fashion on the acquisition and had ample experience in financing reverse 1031 transactions. Additionally, GSP worked with the lender to get rid of any prepayment penalty, saving the borrower capital during the down-leg of the reserve 1031 exchange. The non-recourse loan holds a fixed rate of 7.5% and is interest only for the term of the loan. The loan was sized to 65% of purchase price.

  • $9,327,000 Acquisition Financing for Retail Portfolio; Multistate

    May 24, 2023

    Transaction Description:

    George Smith Partners successfully arranged $9,327,000 in acquisition financing for the purchase of three prime retail properties adjacent to top colleges across different states. The properties are all performing very well but do not have credit tenants. Overcoming the reluctance of regional banks to cross-collateralize and the high rates offered by many lenders, we sourced a national bank that could loan on all three properties. The lender provided a seven-year fixed rate term and 4 years of Interest Only payments. The strategic placement of these properties in prime locations is expected to drive significant value appreciation. By structuring the loans with low leverage, we allowed the Sponsor to complete a 1031 exchange. The cross-collateralized loan with release provisions allowed the seamless acquisition of the assets.

    Rate: Fixed at 6.01% for 7 years
    Interest Only: 4 Years

Michigan Avenue, in the heart of Chicago’s Magnificent Mile Shopping District. The three luxury retail tenants include Bulgari, Omega Watches, and Chicago’s own Burdeen’s Jewelry.

George Smith Partners was able to hold proceeds on the loan and closed the 5-year fixed rate note with full-term interest only by leveraging our lender relationships and augmenting with appropriate structure.

  • Acquisition Financing for a 10-Acre Entitled Multifamily Site; Western State

    March 29, 2023

    Transaction Description:

    George Smith Partners secured an acquisition bridge loan for the acquisition of 10 acres in Laveen, AZ that will be developed with a Humphrey’s designed, 250-unit resort-style multifamily community. The $4,500,000 loan funded 100% of the purchase price plus an interest reserve. The site was put under contract in October 2020 “unentitled” but part of a 35-acre master plan community that includes a 16-bed hospital facility, Big O’ tires, and land for future senior housing development and restaurants. The 35-acre site has a “main and main” location in Laveen which has seen tremendous growth since the opening of Loop 202, a new freeway that connects Laveen and other South Phoenix communities with Interstate 10. The Sponsor fully entitled the site during escrow which included the annexation of 6 of the 10 acres from County to City property.

    GSP also advised on the acquisition and procured over $2,000,000 of Co-GP equity to complete predevelopment of the site. GSP was able to find a non-recourse senior lender for the land acquisition that gave 100% value to approximately $2,500,000 of imputed equity. The Sponsor, a Phoenix-based development firm with over 60 years of development experience, will complete its value-engineering during the term of the land loan while GSP procures construction financing.

  • $15,000,000 SBA Acquisition Financing for an Office Property; Beverly Hills, CA

    February 21, 2023

    Transaction Description:

    George Smith Partners arranged $15,000,000 in SBA owner-user acquisition financing for a multi-tenant office property located in Beverly Hills, CA. The Sponsor approached GSP for assistance in acquiring the building they had been occupying as a tenant for many years past. Instead of losing cash to rent, they decided to invest in ownership. The Sponsor had tried securing both conventional owner-user and SBA financing on their own before reaching out to GSP but was unsuccessful. This was primarily due to the state of the market with lenders having a pessimistic outlook on office, and the SBA eligibility requirements becoming increasingly more difficult to meet since the COVID pandemic.

    Upon getting the assignment, GSP quickly put together a concise and marketable package that would present well to both conventional lenders and the SBA. GSP used their expertise to source attractive terms for the Sponsor and structured a total loan facility equal to 88% of the purchase price, at a sub-5% blended rate.

    Additionally, GSP managed to lock the senior portion of the loan despite the volatile interest rate market and quickly worked toward SBA approval to lock the rate on the SBA portion before the next month’s rate hike.

    Securing high leverage and keeping the Sponsor’s equity investment low was crucial to ensure the Sponsor could keep the majority of their liquidity in hand for their operations and potential property renovations. Thanks to GSP, the Sponsor successfully purchased the building with financing terms that exceeded their expectations.
