$8,740,000 Acquisition Financing at 91% LTC on an SBA 504 Loan in Los Angeles, CA

Transaction Description: George Smith Partners arranged $8,740,000 of acquisition financing for an owner user retail property in Los Angeles. The Sponsor had been introduced to GSP after they received a loan cancellation from their direct bank. GSP jumped into the loan process right away and worked with the Sponsor, their CDC and the new Lender in order to ensure closing in a timely matter.  The selected Lender that GSP brought in was able to give the Sponsor a much more aggressive interest rate than their direct lender had promised in their LOI. This ended up saving the Sponsor 67 bps on the interest rate and over $240,000 in interest during the first 10 years of the loan.
