Transaction Description:

George Smith Partners arranged $3,825,000 in cash-out permanent financing (70% LTV) for the refinance of a 30-unit multifamily property located in Los Angeles, CA. The Sponsor used GSP with intentions of taking out their existing expensive lender. The Sponsor recently completed exterior and interior renovations including common area upgrades. The recent improvements allowed the Sponsor to increase rents thus increasing the value of the Property. GSP was able to provide the Sponsor with a 30-year term with the first 5 years being fixed at a very low rate. The rate will then reset every 5 years for the remainder of the term. Rather than most loans having a balloon payment in 5,7 or 10 years, this loan structure allows for flexibility because the loan matures in 30 years. The flexible prepayment structure is equal to 1.75% for the first 3 years, 1% for years 4 and 5, and 0% thereafter. The loan structure allows the Sponsor to refinance out of an expensive loan with a fixed rate of 3.15%, while also receiving cash out. The Sponsor is using cash-out proceeds to continue their business plan of purchasing and renovating additional properties.
