LMI Capital Closes Three Multifamily Loans Totaling $15M in Greater Houston

HOUSTON — LMI Capital has closed three loans totaling $15 million for the acquisition of two garden-style apartment complexes and the refinancing of a third multifamily property in metro Houston. The acquisitions included 260 units across two properties in the thriving Spring Branch submarket. While the assets shared a similar location, the transactions required distinct capital solutions. In the first transaction, Jamie Safier of LMI secured a 10-year CMBS loan at a low fixed rate. The loan represented over 90 percent of the purchase price. For the second acquisition, Safier arranged a five-year loan at a fixed rate of 4.35 percent. The loan equated to over 75 percent of the asset’s purchase price. The deal also featured a flexible prepayment structure. Amid the closings of the two acquisition loans, Safier closed a $2.5 million refinance loan for a 50-unit multifamily property in Tomball. The 10-year agency loan arranged at a fixed rate of 4.34 percent provided significant cash-out proceeds for the client within 18 months of its original acquisition.
