Bridge Loan for 11-Unit Multifamily Property in Upper Manhattan, New York
$1,100,000
Bayport Funding, a balance sheet lender, funded a $1,100,000 1st lien position bridge loan for the acquisition of an 11-unit multifamily property in the Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan, New York. We funded 60% of the $2,000,000 purchase price, while the Borrower contributed 40% cash at closing. All 11 apartments in the building were vacant and in fair condition. The plan is to rehab all the units, lease up the entire building, and then refinance with a conventional loan. The Borrower is a repeat client of ours who had good credit, lots of liquidity, and a strong track record. They will use their own cash to fund the renovations. The purchase contract has a short closing deadline, and we were able to fund the loan in just 1 week. The interest rate was 11.50%, and we charged 2% origination points. The loan term was set at 12 months. This purchase bridge loan was funded in July 2023.
