Cleaver of Emerald Creek arranges $800,000 loan in West Yaphank

According to Mark Bahiri, managing partner of Emerald Creek Capital, the lending company closed an $800,000 loan on nine newly constructed townhomes known as Chelmsford Weald. This loan opportunity arises from the need by the borrower to refinance his existing mortgage. After selling off the majority of the townhomes, the borrower had reduced the principal balance. The nine townhomes appraised for $1.8 million or $200,000 per unit putting Emerald Creek at a 44% loan-to-value. The complex encompasses a total of 36 townhomes ranging in size from 1,175 - 1,569 s/f. This loan was originated by senior VP, Mike Cleaver, and featured a one year term with no prepayment penalties.
