Why We Like This Opportunity

This is a first position mortgage with an excellent loan to value ratio of 55% with a property value of $1,100,000 and a loan amount of $615,000.  The borrower purchased this property in cash and completed an extensive renovation.  She is occupying this building with her real estate brokerage of over 27 agents.   The borrower is one of the top agents in Maine, typically selling anywhere from 60-90 properties a year.  She owns multiple properties in the area that she has renovated, leased, and more than doubled rents on.  She has a takeout through an SBA loan that is working to refinance her into a long term hold to add to the borrower’s portfolio.

First Priority Mortgage Lien Position

Seniority

The first-priority mortgage lien position is the most senior and highest priority within the capital structure. In the event that a borrower defaults, the lien priority determines the order in which lenders are repaid. Senior lenders are always repaid first. All subordinated positions, including the amount held by the Originator and its investor syndicate, act as a buffer in the event of a deterioration in the Properties’ value.

Personal Guarantee

Personal Guarantee

The Loans are personally guaranteed by the borrower, spouse, and all principals in the LLC. Additionally, the Sponsor and/or Guarantor are obligated to contribute monthly payments to maintain a tax and insurance reserve. Failure to adhere to reserve contribution requirements would lead to the triggering of a debt service and operating expense/shortfall guarantee.

Upfront Reserve

Upfront Reserve

The Loan is structured with interest reserve for further protection.  12 months of debt service payments will be collected at closing.

What Should I Consider?

Borrower Risk

The Borrower may not have represented itself accurately.

Risk Mitigation

  • The Originator checks the Borrower's credit history via a third-party credit reporting company.  The Borrower has a 700 credit score.
  • The Originator considers the underlying asset to be the primary source of security.
  • If the Loans are not fully repaid after the Lender has exhausted other sources of repayment, the Borrower has provided a personal guaranty to fulfill any deficiency.

Default Risk

The Borrower may default on his financial obligations.

Risk Mitigation

  • If the Loans are not fully repaid after the Lender has exhausted other sources of repayment, the Sponsor has provided a personal guaranty to fulfill any deficiency.
  • In the event of a default, a direction letter signed at closing by the Borrower will be sent redirecting the Tenant to make rent payments into an account controlled by the Originator.

Vacancy Risk

The Tenant may vacate the leased properties.

Risk Mitigation

  • The Tenant is an investment grade rated company with sizable financial resources.
  • Under the triple-net leases, the Tenant is under multi-year contract to pay rent with no option to terminate.
  • If the Tenant decides not to renew any of the leases or to vacate the leased premises, the Borrower will pay for an appraisal of the property “as vacant” and the borrower will have to provide the additional cash collateral and/or pay down the loan (or any combination in between) within ten days of receipt of the appraisal in order to bring the property back to an LTV.
