“Jack: How you doing, Marcy Berger?
Marcy: I’m doing really well today. How about you?
Jack: Very good, no complaints. Look, the main thing is we’re healthy. Honestly, I’m a little overwhelmed, got many things to do. It’s tax return time. We’re making this, what’s today, 11th? We do approximately— I’m going totally off-topic, but we have to get through over 50 tax returns. We’re delirious, so whatever. Anyway, we wanted to talk to you—
Marcy: We’re going to talk about the deal that we’re closing today, and it’s an office building.
Jack: Springfield, Illinois. Springfield, Illinois, I think 16,000 square feet.
Marcy: Yeah, an office building with different types of businesses in there.
Jack: Doctor is a tenant in there, and the building apparently was, I’ll call it disrepair and a lot of vacancy a few years ago. This doctor and her son entered into, let’s call it like a master lease lease purchase installment sale agreement to buy it for a certain price, and they took over the property. They put in some money.
Marcy: And they managed it. They collected all the rents, did a very good job, and you know, just took the owner out of the equation completely.
Jack: They entered into a like a lease purchase, a lease with an option to buy it, and now they want to buy it. The property is, let’s say, double— we can talk real numbers; we’re not giving confidential information. Our loan was $665,000, I believe, and that was the purchase price. So, they went to traditional banks, and banks only wanted to lend them 70%, 80%, or 65% of the $665,000. We think the property’s worth a million, million two, something like that, and we lent them the $665, so you know, this is a case that the borrower had good credit, good income, great property, but the bank just wouldn’t do it, and I believe they went to numerous banks. We did it because we used the real what we thought the real value was and not necessarily the purchase price.
Marcy: Which you can figure out from the rent roll and take the NOI and figure out what the property’s worth.
Jack: Very good point. We didn’t do an appraisal. We’re doing very few appraisals now, and what we’re doing is we’re doing what I call internal valuations. We look at the income; we look at the expenses. We come up with a market cap rate, and we get back into it. So that’s how we did the deal, and we closed it. The broker was thrilled.
Marcy: Everyone was happy. We got it done really fast. It was, like, I’m gonna say, I want to say it was like a little maybe 12 business days, yeah, that’s it.
Jack: No prepayment penalty, no appraisal, deals closing, broker’s happy, borrower’s happy. Marcy, most important, are you happy?
Marcy: Of course, because you know what? I did my job, and I did it really well, and everyone appreciated it.
Jack: Yep, and the broker’s making, I think, like 10 grand on this. On to the next deal. We got plenty more. Okay, remember when your bank says no, we say yes. Check us out at geltfinancial.com.
