Call with Marcy Fink on 7-10-15 - Their construction portfolio & allocation is pretty full at this time. Their allocation for the DC area is $35 million. They non-recourse financing tops out at 60% LTC and they would require a completion guarantee as well as an interest + carry guarantee until stabilized (not truly non-recourse). They don\'t know the sponsors so that would be difficult. They have seen HVCRE add 40-50 bps in pricing, and they had no problem with preferred equity above them, but potentially with mezz would. -- duke

7/6/15 - Good call with John. They would be solving to an 8% debt yield, so based on our underwriting that would suggest approximately $75 million in proceeds. They have done a few HVCRE loans in NYC, and he said the pricing premium would likely be in the 25 - 100 bps range (lower end for existing major clients, and higher end for new clients/one-off deals). They would need to syndicate the loan, and as such the premium might be a bit higher depending on how the other bank looks at it. They would require 15%-20% recourse which could burn down over time. They have worked with preferred equity, and would be comfortable with it to fill the gap. His main question was whether or not the families would consider recourse, and what the family\'s financials looked like. Their pricing would likely be in the 250-270 bps over libor range. -- duke

Good call with EJ Corwin. Tom Carr is one of their partners, and knows both families, as well as Ron. Tom speaks very positively of the development team, and the residential conversion play in this location, and as such would be interested in providing the gap financing. They are however, struggling to get to our imputed equity amount. Assuming a $70M senior loan, they would look at the $12M gap financing as the initial $6 million at 14% (any proceeds up to their calculated 85% LTC) and the remaining $6 million at 19-20% (so a blend of 17%). -- duke
