Grandbridge Real Estate Capital recently facilitated a cash-out refinance for a 292-site manufactured home community in Sonoma, CA.
Newport Beach, CA-based Vice Presidents Hunter Curtis and Taylor Curtis originated the transaction for a first-time client. Grandbridge was able to achieve the borrower’s goals of a cash-out refinance, locking in a historically low, long-term interest rate and minimizing refinance risk for future generations. To do so, the nonrecourse financing was structured with a fully amortizing term and funded through one of Grandbridge’s insurance company correspondents.
The loan was secured by an undisclosed, age-restricted manufactured housing community on 39 acres in Sonoma County, CA.
