Capital Spotlight – Highlighting featured capital investors. We regularly publish the detailed criteria of our most unique real estate capital sources.
Whether deal sponsors are focused on industrial, multifamily, or hospitality transactions, flexible bridge loan solutions are often required to capitalize their value-add deals. With no shortage of bridge lenders lending up to 65-75% LTC, sponsors continuously require more flexibility to cover the capital gap up to 85% LTC. While this “gap capital” often manifests as subordinate debt, this single-family office provides a more streamlined solution by originating higher leverage as a single-source senior lender up to 85% LTC (subject to max 75% LTV at stabilization). Extensive experience and comfort in owning and operating real estate affords the lender an ability to underwrite aggressively and reach higher levels of proceeds than the average private capital source. Their check size ranges $5MM to $40MM, targeting light- to heavy-value-add projects. Pricing ranges between 9.0% (for lighter lift projects) up to 11.5% (for heavier value-add and higher leverage projects) with options for both fixed and floating rates. It is important to note that while this lender cannot lend on ground up construction projects, they do fund heavy value-add deals and have an appetite for well thought out conversion projects. Additionally, by avoiding the more crowded top-tier markets, the lender seeks out opportunities in strong secondary and tertiary markets that are often overlooked by your average private lender.
