Dallas, TX (PRWEB) July 08, 2014
RED Capital Markets, LLC (MEMBER FINRA/SIPC) and RED Mortgage Capital, LLC, respectively, the investment banking and mortgage lending entities of comprehensive capital provider RED CAPITAL GROUP, LLC, recently worked with Millennia Housing Development, Ltd., the developer and managing general partner, to structure a number of financing sources to fund the acquisition and rehabilitation of Greenbrier Estates, an affordable housing apartment complex located in Beckley, West Virginia.
To meet the financing requirements for Greenbrier Estates, various sources were combined. The first part of this transaction utilized a $4,813,000 FHA 221(d)(4) loan funded by RED Mortgage Capital, LLC. The second piece was a $4.8 million bond issued through the City of Beckley and underwritten by RED Capital Markets, which allowed the sponsor to receive 4% tax credits. The third component of this transaction included $1.8 million in low income housing tax credit (“LIHTC”) equity, which will be available for the property through the syndication by Community Affordable Housing Equity Corporation (“CAHEC”). A fourth piece of the package was a $1.6 million loan from the West Virginia Housing Development Fund (“WVHDF”) sourced from HOME funds.
Greenbrier Estates was an existing HUD Section 236 and Section 8 apartment community serving low and very low income families. The property contains 150 units of which, 125 units will be subject to LIHTC (60% AMI) restrictions. The rehabilitation work will help ensure the long-term economic viability of the property, thereby preserving much needed affordable housing for families in the area.
