Transaction Overview
George Smith Partners arranged a $4,200,000 first mortgage for the acquisition of a value-add multifamily asset located within one of Long Beach’s trendiest neighborhoods. The national balance sheet lender provided a non-recourse loan to 65% of total project cost which includes $1,400,000 to 100% of capital expenditures for property improvements. Interest on future proceeds is not incurred until funds are drawn. A short spread maintenance schedule provides maximum flexibility to allow the Borrower to quickly execute its value-add strategy, prior to taking out financing with permanent debt or a sale. Cash flow is maximized as the loan is interest only during the initial three-year term and priced at 3.55% over 30-Day LIBOR. Due to low going-in cash flow, the Lender structured an interest reserve to cover debt service during the reposition period.
