Timing was critical. Several construction loans were nearing maturity, and delays could have triggered defaults or forced distressed exits.
The borrower needed to:
Pay off existing construction debt
Avoid maturity default
Pull cash-out to fund the next phase of development
The challenge
Why This Deal Was at Risk
The borrower owned newly constructed single-family rentals in Duson, LA—a tertiary market. Timing was critical as several construction loans were nearing maturity, and delays could have triggered defaults.
Complexity & Risk Factors
Pending maturities: Several construction loans were nearing maturity.
Appraisal Variance: Appraisals came in lower on 4 of the 13 assets.
Parcelization Issues: Properties sat on a single parcel, requiring coordination with the county tax assessor before year-end deadlines.
Traditional lenders struggled with the lack of parcelization, appraisal variance, and time pressure.
How Brick City Capital Executed
Rather than killing the entire deal due to a few low appraisals, the team structured a bulk submission that allowed for asset-by-asset adjustments.
Flexible Structure
Structured the deal as a bulk submission rather than a portfolio loan. This allowed for individual asset adjustments without jeopardizing the whole transaction.
Leverage Adjustments
Reduced leverage to 80% LTV on the 4 properties with low appraisals to preserve viability, while still delivering $5K cash-out per adjusted asset.
Tax Assessor Coordination
Coordinated directly with the county tax assessor. Parcel numbers were finalized within 7 days—beating the annual assessment cutoff.
