Vogell of Mortgage Resources arranges $1.85 million loan

Mortgage Resources recently arranged a $1.85 million permanent mortgage for its client National Associated Properties, the owner of Omega Estates Apartments. Omega Estates is comprised of 2 three-story wood frame brick veneer apartment buildings containing 48 units constructed on 5.37 acres in 1969 together with a three family residence and a two unit professional office. The property has been well maintained and periodically upgraded by the owner over the years. The unit mix consists of 16 one-bedroom, 33 two-bedroom, and 2 three-bedroom units. The unit sizes are larger than average for the market. The property is located off U.S. Rte. 1 in a quiet mixed residential/commercial area in close proximity to I-95 and an array of retail and commercial amenities. Branford is a highly desirable shoreline bedroom community situated approximately five miles east of New Haven. Fred Vogell of Mortgage Resources indicated that the owner's financing objective was to secure a long term, low rate non-recourse fixed rate loan that also featured assumption and supplemental loan features in order to provide for a flexible, low cost exit strategy in the event he chose to sell the property prior to maturity. A Fannie Mae multifamily mortgage with a supplemental loan option met these needs. The loan was arranged through a national 3MAX Express lender. The 10-year fixed rate low leverage non-recourse mortgage was closed with an interest rate in the low 6% range.
