Apartment Properties

Mini-Permanent & Permanent Loans

Property Type:  Existing apartments in good condition on all major island, near population center, educational facilities or traditional residential areas.
Property Age:  Post 1975 construction is preferred, although older properties will be considered.
Preferred Loan Size:  $2 to $25 million.  (Larger loans are considered and priced on an exception basis.)
Loan Limits:  The loan may not exceed 80% of value or the amount that produces a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 120%.
Occupancy Requirements:  The property must have had at least 85% occupancy for the past twelve months.  Unusual tenancies or lease expiration characteristics are considered on a case by case basis.
Borrowing Entity:  Generally, a single purpose entity is required.
Leasehold Properties:  Leasehold properties must have known rents for the term of the loan.  Loan amortization periods hall not be greater than 5 years less than the overall term of the lease.  Various structures to address leasehold issues are available based on TransPac's underwriting and submission package.
Loan Term:  5, 7, or 10 years balloons.  Amortizations are generally 15-25 years but may be as long as 30 years for newer properties in good condition.
Rates:  Interest rates are set at a fixed spread over comparable term treasuries and vary as a function of coverage ratios.  Both fixed and variable rate programs are available.  Please call for current spread requirements.
Guarantees:  Guarantees are a direct corollary to the loan-to-value and debt service coverage on the property, i.e. higher loan-to-value ratios may require full recourse.  Non and partial recourse loans are available, though will be subject to normal lender carve-outs.
Assumable:  Yes, with consent and a 1% assumption fee.
Reserves:  Tax and insurance reserves are required.  Also, a replacement reserve account is to be established and funded at a minimum rate of $200 per unit, per year.
Prepayment:  Varies, usually no prepayment for about half of the term, defeasance or yield maintenance thereafter.  Open to prepayment without penalty in the final six months.
Exceptions:  We can consider on an exception basis properties subsidized by State or Federal Agencies or programs, military, properties with large levels of commercial income or corporate leases, and borrowers with less than perfect credit history.
