Transaction Description:
George Smith Partners has successfully facilitated a recent cash-out refinance of $4,000,000 for our Sponsor’s multifamily portfolio. This financial arrangement was designed to suit two distinct multifamily properties nestled within the city of Charleston, South Carolina.
The team collaborated with a local bank that demonstrated a keen understanding of these multifamily properties. The negotiations resulted in an arrangement where the lending institution allowed 70% of the appraised value of the Properties for a cash-out refinance. This mutually beneficial agreement showcased the confidence both parties had in the assets’ value and future prospects. The Lender showcased their capacity to offer flexible fixed-rate financing, granting the choice to adjust the fixed rate to market conditions in favor of the borrower throughout the loan’s duration without incurring any expenses.
The Sponsor, represented by the GSP team, was relatively new to the Charleston market and operated from a non-local base, which presented a significant hurdle in the current real estate landscape. The properties were purchased outright with cash in late 2022 and mid-2023.
