Financing for the $6.968 million permanent loan was structured with a 7-year term and 30 year amortization schedule for the borrower, BG Camino Apartments, LLC. through NorthMarq’s seller/servicer relationship with Freddie Mac. “The loan was the conversion of a floating rate Freddie Mac loan into a fixed rate Freddie Mac execution,” said Ranieri. “The borrower purchased the property two years ago, invested significant cap-ex and was able to increase the value of the property.
