Remington Financial Group, Inc. - Closes $1,580,000 RV Park in Southeastern Michigan
The Challenge
The property owners needed to make facility upgrades to reverse declining sales. The RV Park had adequate cash flow and a solid financial history, but property values were steadily declining, leading to a loss of equity that forced most lenders to back away. Of additional concern was that Michigan had one of the hardest hit economies in the country, encouraging lenders to abandon the market. In addition, the RV industry had taken a significant hit over the past few years as disposable income of many RV enthusiasts had dwindled. Finally, the existing lender was calling the owner's note due to banking difficulties.
Solution by Remington Financial Group
Through creative modifications to our client's business plan and using our extensive network of lenders and investors, Remington acted as a financial advisor to restructure the transaction and put it in the best light. As a result, on behalf of our client we secured a $1.58 million SBA 7(a) loan with all SBA fees eliminated. The loan was priced at prime plus 2.5%. The LTV was 90% and the loan fully amortizes over 25 years. Our client and the lender were both pleased, and the transaction closed with little or no complications.

Remington Financial Group, Inc. - Case Study - $282.3 Million for Eclectic Acquisitions
An institutional equity investor has obtained an aggregate of nearly $282.3 million to acquire two separate and diverse portfolios. One consists of 14 office and warehouse buildings. The other contains four independent living properties in two states. In both cases, locally based Remington Financial Group Inc. arranged debt and bridge financing.
With nearly $142.3 million in funding from a global financial services firm, the investor and an operating partner have acquired a 2.7-million-sf office and warehouse portfolio for an aggregate cost of $150 million. The assets are spread across 10 Midwestern and Southeastern states and are being acquired from three separate sellers. The sellers of two of the buildings are the properties' respective occupants. One real estate investment firm is the seller of the other 12 properties.
"Each building is fully occupied by a different single tenant, and all are sale-leaseback agreements," RFG says. "Because all of the tenants are private companies with no public credit ratings, arranging the financing required extraordinary due diligence to make both the buyer and the lender comfortable with the transaction," RFG says. Furthermore, one of the properties, a 1.2-million-sf flex property in the Midwest, represents half of the portfolio, "potentially presenting a big risk."
RFG structured a $108-million non-recourse, permanent 10-year mortgage at a fixed rate of just more than 6 percent, which represented 75 percent of the acquisition cost. It was collateralized by the properties, but not crossed. The same lender provided a bridge loan of nearly $34.3 million to increase the loan-to-cost ratio to 97 percent. This has a five-year term beginning at Libor plus 200 basis points for the first two years, and Libor plus 100 for the remaining term.
In a separate transaction, RFG arranged $140 million in debt and bridge equity financing for the same buyer, in a different operating partnership, to acquire three independent living communities in the Dallas area and a fourth in Kansas City, MO. All are from a single unidentified seller, who developed and operated the facilities. The properties have an aggregate of approximately 1,000 units, are about four to five years old, and have an average occupancy in the mid-80 percent.
"While they are class A assets, they aren't being operated to full potential," RFG says. "The buyer acquired the portfolio at a cap rate below 4 percent, and the business plan is to raise net operating income to an 8.5 percent cap rate over the next two to three years by improving operations and implementing high-margin services, including better quality meals." The borrower has a track record of implementing a similar plan, according to RFG, "which provided the lender with the required level of comfort."
The lender is one of the world's leading financial management and advisory companies. The senior financing is for a three-year term at a floating rate that RFG says is Libor plus 200 basis points. It is joined by a two-year bridge loan from the same lender at Libor plus 450 points. The full funding represents 97 percent of the portfolio's purchase price.

Remington Financial Group - Recent Case Study - $3.5M - 128 Room Hotel
Challenge - The borrowers had an extremely short time frame for closing due to an immediate cash requirement of $3,000,000 for pre development expenses on another project.
RFG's Solution - To accommodate the short time line RFG secured a conditional commitment on a 1 year bridge loan with two 6 month options for $3,500,000 at 6.25% with no prepayment penalty. RFG secured the commitment within 14 business days of origination and closed on the transaction in less than two weeks.
With the borrower's immediate needs addressed, RFG will now look to refinance the $3,500,000 loan, and presently has in place a conditional commitment through a more traditional financing source for $6,700,000.
