Marcus & Millichap arranges $8.4M refinance for L.A. property

Microsoft Word - PictureLos Angeles—Marcus & Millichap Capital Corp. has arranged the $8.4 million refinance of a 47,962-square-foot mid-rise multifamily property in Los Angeles. Sharone Sabar, vice president of capital markets in the firm’s Encino, Calif., office, arranged the sale of the 1969-built asset. The borrower had a loan coming due and wanted to lock in a low interest rate.

“The borrower had a significant amount of equity in the property and preferred to use some of it to purchase additional real estate,” Sabar says. “Lenders have huge appetites for well-located multifamily properties. The lender we worked with granted out client’s request for the rate-lock in addition to aggressive terms such as nonrecourse, 75 percent loan-to-value, cash out and a very low interest rate of 3.3 percent.”
