RED Capital Group Closes First Small Balance Loan with Freddie Mac
Columbus, OH (PRWEB) September 14, 2015 -- Freddie Mac and RED Capital Group, LLC announced today that RED has funded its first loan under the Freddie Mac Small Balance Loan initiative. The $1.3M loan is for 1326 McCadden Apartments located in Los Angeles, California.
The property, built in 1953, is an 8-unit, garden-style apartment building located in a Los Angeles, California, neighborhood that is 100% built out and is dominated by small to medium sized apartment complexes, high-rise apartments and single family developments.
“We are very excited to jump right in and get the Freddie Mac program at RED up and running so quickly,” stated Donald Frankman, Managing Director, Small Balance Loan Originations for RED. ”We are looking forward to significant growth of this platform.”
“Our team is overwhelmed by the positive response to the Freddie SBL program. With help from Brett Twente, Partner at Sequoia Commercial Lending, we were able to provide the borrower with a 10 year fixed rate term under 4% at 1.20x DSCR,” stated Lee Harris, Small Balance Loan Originations for RED. “The SBL product has proved to be the most competitive in the marketplace, and we anticipate more of the same as we move forward.”
“From the initial application process to sitting down and signing loan docs with the client, RED did a terrific job on this refinance,” stated Brett Twente. “On behalf of the client and our firm here at Sequoia Commercial Lending, we look forward to a long standing relationship with Lee, Don, and the entire team over at RED.”
Stephen Johnson, Senior Director of Freddie Mac Multifamily, said, “We are excited that our Small Balance Loan initiative is quickly gaining momentum in the marketplace and providing a strong financing option. We look forward to working with lenders to close more small balance loans and bring long-term debt capital to this market segment.”
Freddie Mac launched its Small Balance Loan offering in October 2014 to purchase and securitize small property loans of $1 to $5 million and with at least five apartment units.
