Transaction Description:
George Smith Partners successfully arranged the refinance of a 14 building, 120-unit multifamily asset located in the Arden-Arcade neighborhood of Sacramento, CA. GSP worked with a life company with a strong appetite for multifamily lending and ultimately structured a loan in which the Sponsor pulled out $10,000,000 of cash. The non-recourse loan has a fixed rate of 4.24% and refinanced an existing agency loan. Some of the unique features of this loan included: rate lock at application, assumption rights in the event of a sale and future loan advances/top-offs upon increase in NOI.

Transaction Description:
GSP arranged the $13,130,000 first mortgage on two 1960’s vintage multifamily assets in the San Fernando Valley. The National Balance Sheet Lender provided a non-recourse loan at 75% of total project cost including 100% of future CapEx funds to complete an extensive interior and exterior renovation of $45,500 per unit. Interest expense is not incurred on CapEx funds until drawn. The 30-Day LIBOR plus 3.20% coupon requires interest rate risk protection throughout the term, and in order to minimize associated sponsor cost the Lender structured the initial term as two years, with three, one-year extensions and no hurdles or fees for the first extension. Due to low going-in cash flow, the Lender structured an interest reserve to cover debt service during the peak reposition period.

Transaction Description:
George Smith Partners secured bridge financing for the acquisition and renovation of 90 condominium units to be operated as a multifamily rental property. Our Sponsor was involved with the initial assemblage of the units. The collateral is part of a 105-unit development that was built in the 1960’s in the Phoenix metro market. The 90 units are contiguous, almost all are 2 bedroom, one story casitas style units with 2 units per building. All units have exterior access in a well landscaped setting. The Sponsor was able to purchase the units for a below-market per unit value and is planning a major renovation for both the exterior of the Property and interior of the units. There is some deferred maintenance, including roofing and HVAC, that will be addressed during the rehab. The Lender structured the loan to provide 75% financing for the acquisition and included a significant holdback for the repairs. A major challenge to the financing was a lack of operating history. The units were being operated by several owners, some owning as little as 1 or 2 units. GSP and the Sponsor created a pro-forma operating budget that the Lender was able to accept due to the Sponsor’s extensive experience in the market. The total debt is sized to 75% loan-to-cost and has an interest rate that floats at 1-month LIBOR + 3.90% for the 2-year term.

Increasing rates are supposedly the solution for an overheating economy. Rising rates are affecting the housing markets (negatively) and apartment metrics (positively in a contrarian way). Higher rates are slowing down the home refinance market to a crawl and also putting pressure on buyers and sellers. (higher rates = less loan proceeds of course). Today a Freddie Mac study indicated higher mortgage rates are turning some would be buyers into renters (at least until prices go down), thereby increasing occupancy and rents for apartment owners. Of course many apartment owners are bemoaning the increase in fixed and floating rates for their acquisitions and perms. Today’s Fed minutes indicate the committee is united (last month’s increase was unanimous) and convinced more hikes are in order. This is a significant message to markets that the Fed is not bowing to pressure from the executive branch. The 10 year T hit 3.20% again today after a week of huge market volatility. In other contrarian news, the Sears bankruptcy will be good news for many retail owners as many of the affected Sears (or Kmart) locations involve rock bottom below market rent for good infill retail locations. Savvy and well capitalized operators can repurpose the space. Stay tuned. By David R. Pascale, Jr. , Senior Vice President at George Smith Partners
