Transaction Overview
George Smith Partners secured $3,700,000 for an acquisition of a multifamily property in Oklahoma City, OK. The Sponsor had the opportunity to purchase a well-located, value-add property in Oklahoma City. By utilizing a quick close loan, the Sponsor was able to negotiate a below market price. The Sponsor approached GSP to help arrange a loan that needed to close on a strict timeline of only one week. Because of the quick timing and the short-term distress in the cash flow, the Property would not qualify for bank or agency financing. The Property rents were below market because the Seller self-managed and the Property needs exterior and interior improvements. The loan was structured with a CapEx holdback to allow the Sponsor to implement their value-add strategy. The non-recourse facility represents 75% of total cost and was priced at an interest-only fixed rate of 7.25% with a 12-month term plus two 6-month extension options. The interest-only loan allows for more property cash flow to be used towards improving the Property. Thanks to GSP’s long-standing relationship with this debt fund, we were able to close this transaction in less than 7 days from signing the term sheet.
