Pillar Financial, a division of SunTrust Bank, originated $23.3 million in Fannie Mae loans to refinance two Indianapolis communities, Echo Ridge and English Village. The fixed-rate, 10-year loans have a 30-year amortization schedule and will be used for green property improvements.
“Pillar executed both loans under Fannie Mae’s Green Rewards Program, allowing the borrower to achieve substantial cash out to pursue other opportunities and to secure a significant decrease in the interest rate on both transactions,” said Managing Director and loan originator Joe Markech, in a prepared statement.
