This case study highlights the type of client success that is only possible when you work with a team soley focused on ensuring you reach your goals!

Our team was approached by a seller who was facing the challenge of stabilizing their property to sell at their desired price point, while dealing with a called-up debt. We initiated a dual-path strategy, simultaneously navigating the market and securing bridge debt extensions. After achieving 90% occupancy, our Structured Finance Team played a pivotal role in vetting and securing approvals for the buyers from Capital One’s Freddie and Fannie desk. The collaboration resulted in procuring both debt and preferred equity for the buyer, providing ample cash flow for a value-add business plan.

Ultimately, the full team effort resulted in $4+ Millions (10%+) in additional proceeds directly into our client’s pocket!
