Financial Compound has enjoyed a long affiliation with the Mortgage Bankers Association and considers the MBA to be an important organziation within the commercial real estate finance and capital markets arena. At the heart of the MBA are it member mortgage bankers and mortgage brokers. The mortgage broker serves a valuable roll in the capital markets, now more than ever given the pullback of capital from the commercial real estate lending marketplace. Despite the significant reduction of lending capital from the commercial real estate markets, Financial Compound has tracked the market and an active lending market does exist today, albeit much smaller than prior to the recession in 2007.
A leading national commercial real estate finance broker based in Santa Monica, California, Financial Compound has been an innovator in structuring and identifying capital markets opportunities. Financial Compound and its staff have closed over $2.4 billion in transactions, running the gamut from low leverage first mortgages on trophy assets, to structured debt and equity placements for properties in need of renovation, to un-entitled land financing in 2009. In second half 2009 Financial Compound scoured the capital markets and found a few nuggets- lenders who are steadily closing loans at interest rates lower than most institutionally priced transactions. Their underwriting parameters are flexible, including low/no debt coverage ratios and limited or not third party reports. We are currently processing with one of these lenders, the refinance of a low occupancy shopping center in the Midwest, and a $9 million luxury residential loan.
Financial Compound has been designated a preferred broker, by this lender as well as others, due to our thorough underwriting, processing, and technical skills. Please contact us to discuss your financing needs or stop by our office for a consultation. We look forward to seeing you at the MBA CREF 2010 convention.
Financial Compound maintains the highest standards of integrity and ethics in its business practices. Our processes and practices are an outgrowth of our analytical approach and keen market observation.
Financial Compound has the skills and track record to assist borrowers and lenders with loan workouts, having performed numerous successful modifications and refinances in a distressed context.
