According to Centerline Capital Group, a provider of real estate financial and asset management services for affordable and conventional multifamily housing, and a subsidiary of Centerline Holding Co., it has provided affordable MBS loans totaling $23 million for the refinance and acquisition of nine individual multifamily properties. The properties are located in a variety of markets, including Memphis and Cleveland, Tenn.; Birmingham, Al.; Temple, Tex.; Kansas City, Mo.; Gastonia, N.C.; and Cincinnati, Dayton and Franklin, Ohio.
The borrower is a commercial real estate owner and management company that specializes in Section 8 housing across the country and is among the country's largest owners and managers of HUD subsidized housing with over 13,500 units in 15 states.
The loan terms were 10 years with 30 year amortization. The assets were financed at rates ranging from 75% loan-to-value with 1.30 debt service coverage to 80% loan-to-value with 1.20 debt service coverage.
Centerline is a Fannie Mae DUS lender, Freddie Mac seller-servicer, FHA-approved mortgage provider and source for other forms of traditional and alternative capital.
