$20,950,000 Cash-Out Refinance for Three Multifamily Properties; Los Angeles, CA
Transaction Description:
George Smith Partners secured cash-out refinance loans totaling $20,950,000 for 3 stabilized Los Angeles multifamily properties. The properties comprise a total of 145 units. The loans are fixed at 4.25% for 5 years and have at least 4 years of Interest Only payments. The lender gave the borrower full credit for income sources that had recently increased, including parking and utility reimbursements. Annualizing the most recent months of collections resulted in higher loan proceeds. A 60-day rate lock was signed at application. Since market interest rates increased by over 50 basis points while the loan was application, this provided a substantial benefit to the borrower. Although the closing process took longer than 60 days, the lender extended the rate lock for no charge.
