Arbor Funds $4M Fannie Mae DUS® Loan in Houston, TX

UNIONDALE, NY (April 15, 2019) – Arbor Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE:ABR), a leading multifamily and commercial mortgage lender, recently funded a Fannie Mae DUS® loan in Houston, TX. Ashford Court Apartments, a 442-unit multifamily property, received $4.M in supplemental funding through the program. The loan features a seven-year term with four-year yield maintenance and a 30-year amortization schedule.

Matt Norman of Arbor’s Bloomington, Indiana, office originated the loan.

“This loan was a prime example of how Fannie Mae’s supplemental program rewards a borrower’s efforts to improve a property’s condition and maximize net operating income by releasing trapped equity on a longer term hold,” Norman said. “In the end, the client received a 75% LTV, co-term debt product without being subjected to any prepayment penalties.”

Built in 1983, Ashford Court Apartments offer spacious one- and two-bedroom units equipped with breakfast bars, granite countertops and wood-burning fireplaces, as well as private patio and balcony options. Community amenities include a swimming pool, 24-hour fitness center, clubhouse with full kitchen and business center, as well as tennis and volleyball courts.
