The three loans were funded under the Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing® (DUS) Loan product line for the portfolio’s combined $41,400,000 acquisition. These loans include:
• Ladera Palms, Fort Worth, TX – This 784-unit complex received $11,550,000 funded under the Fannie Mae DUS® Loan product line. The 10-year acquisition loan amortizes on a 30-year schedule.

The property’s units now feature new kitchens, bathrooms, interiors, flooring and plumbing.
• Regal Crossing, Dallas, TX – This 384-unit complex received $7,250,000 funded under the Fannie Mae DUS® Loan product line. The 10-year acquisition loan amortizes on a 30-year schedule.

All of the loans were originated by Alex Kaushansky, Vice President, in Arbor’s New York City office. “Arbor takes pride in the long-term relationships it builds with its borrowers, a fact that helped lead to the funding of these properties,” Kaushansky said. “In addition to the strong sponsorship, each of the deals involved properties exhibiting robust performance track records within local markets with increasing rental demand.”
