5 Day Quick Close Acquisition Bridge Loan for 5 Unit Property in South Los Angeles

Transaction Description: George Smith Partners arranged a quick close acquisition bridge loan for a 5-unit property in South Los Angeles. The sponsor approached GSP with an extremely tight closing time frame of 5 days and a property with weak cash flow due to two down units. The sponsor valued certainty of execution above all else, so he could close on the property in short order. GSP identified a non-bank private individual willing to make the loan with no origination free. Sized to 80% of purchase with no hold back requirement for interest reserve or capital expenditures, the loan carries a 12-month term, interest only payments at a 9.5% rate and a 3-month prepayment penalty.
