Transaction Description:
George Smith Partners successfully secured a $6,000,000 non-recourse permanent refinance of a 97-unit, 51,732 square foot multifamily property in Bellflower, CA. Loan proceeds were used to pay off the existing variable, higher interest rate loan into a lower interest, fixed rate loan. There was nearly $4,600,000 cash-out to the Sponsor, who had recently spent over $800,000 to complete full and partial remodeling of 62 units (64% of the total units). Thanks to GSP’s strong lender relationships, the Sponsor’s credentials and longevity of ownership, and extremely low leverage, GSP was able to source a lender that provided an additional $500,000 above the Sponsor’s initial funding ask, assumption rights in the event of a sale and no post-closing financial covenants for future successors.

April 7, 2021
Transaction Description:
George Smith Partners secured senior permanent financing for a stabilized multifamily property located in the Pico Robertson neighborhood of Los Angeles, CA. The non-recourse debt was utilized to complete the acquisition of the multifamily asset. The loan was structured with a 5-year term and interest only payments for the initial 3-years followed by a 30-year amortization schedule. The loan was collateralized by a Class B, three story, 16-Unit multifamily property. The Subject was 100% leased at closing but only 78% physically occupied.
GSP selected a bank lender that was able to underwrite the income from three newly executed leases with no seasoning. The Lender funded the full proceeds with signed leases and rent checks although the tenants had yet to take possession. The Lender executed on excellent terms while closing on a firm acquisition deadline of 45 days. At application, the Lender offered an early rate lock to remove any pricing risk. GSP worked with the Lender to navigate the appraisal assumptions surrounding concessions and market rent stemming from various COVID risks while maximizing proceeds.

October 23, 2019
Transaction Description:
George Smith Partners successfully secured a $4,100,000 non-recourse permanent refinance of a 14-unit, multifamily property in West Los Angeles. Loan proceeds were used to pay off the existing variable, higher interest rate bridge loan into a lower interest, fixed rate loan. There was significant cash-out to the Sponsor, who had recently completed an extensive reposition and upgrade of the Property. Due to the Sponsor’s business plan, flexibility and interest only were paramount. As such, GSP worked with the Lender to structure a 5-year fixed rate term with 3 years interest only and a step-down prepayment structure of 3%, 2%, 1%. This structure allows the Sponsor to maximize current cash flow while providing the flexibility of a step-down structure that burns off when the loan begins to amortize.
