Transaction Description:

George Smith Partners successfully placed the $19,000,000 cash out CMBS loan to fund the refinancing of a select service hotel in Southern California. The 10-year fixed rate loan locked below 3.75%, fully interest only. The financing was successful despite significant headwinds on hotel operations due to the pandemic, but GSP was able to source a creative CMBS lender that not only sized the loan based off of 2019 performance, but also allowed for a two-year holiday from any debt yield test covenants. With California and the country as a whole reopening following the global pandemic, and best-in-class ownership and management in place, GSP was able to build a story around recovery to achieve favorable terms in a challenging environment.

Transaction Description:

George Smith Partners successfully secured $7,850,000 in proceeds for the acquisition of a 48-unit multifamily property in Hollywood. The loan is fixed at a rate of 3.30% for 7 years and has 5 years of interest only payments. The Property’s location, a few feet from a fault line, raised a concern that earthquake insurance might be required. GSP conducted a comprehensive search of city records and engaged a seismic report to demonstrate that sufficient retrofit work had already been completed. As a result, the Lender waived the additional insurance. Several lenders required a reserve account of 6-12 months of P&I payments, but the selected lender had no holdbacks or reserves. The loan closed with no changes to the original application.

Transaction Description:

Classified as an owner-user, this multi-tenant office building was being transitioned during due diligence as a new ground floor tenant leased a third of the net rentable but had not taken occupancy due to COVID restrictions. The delayed funding worked to our Sponsor’s benefit as it allowed GSP to restructure the loan for additional net proceeds while reducing the Sponsor’s current SBA pre-payment penalty. All additional proceeds were used to consolidate business lines and other unrecorded debt at a substantially lower interest rate. An early rate lock feature permitted the Sponsor to take advantage of lower indexes prior to the rate bump. This non-SBA execution is fixed for ten years at 3.00% and was sized to 75% LTV and a 1.25 DCR. The loan is open to prepayment without penalty after the 5th year.
