Program Summary

​This program is with our Private Wholesale Lender. For clients with a specific project to finance or have a series of projects that can be approved through a funding pool, the 4-1 Loam Program can provide a Credit Facility of up to 4X the client's Initial Funds Amount. 

1. It is a non-recourse loan and can be used for any type of commercial development, as well as many other types of non-RE projects (refer to suitable programs). 

2. 20% deposit is required for each project; the minimum deposit is $1 million (USD). However, for the 4-1 Loan Program, the client must have a minimum of $10MM USD in CASH  ($12.5M USD if you are keeping your funds in your own account) pledged to your project as the "Initial Deposit." The lender still has a loan option for clients under the $10M; however, they typically are a 1-1 on their capital.

3. There is no static multiple. However, please note that the loan multiple will ultimately be determined at the underwriting stage based on the Project. The multiple offered could be anywhere from a 1-1 multiple to a 4-1 multiple. In general, deposits under USD 10M see a 1-1 multiple, and deposits under USD 100M will most frequently see a 3-1 multiple. Those deposits that are USD 100M or greater, can be offered a 4X multiple.

4. The lender will provide the balance of the 80% required for the project.

5. ​​​​​​​The general term of the loan is 4 years; the lender is flexible for extensions.

6. ​​​​​​​Interest rates are at the GREATER OF a "Flat 3.5%," or 1 Year LIBOR +2 (whichever is higher at the date of signing of the contracts); interest-only, with interest paid quarterly. 

7. Interest is charged only on funds drawn from the loan.

8. The client always keeps their "Initial Deposit" capital in "safe-keeping", where these funds are never exposed to any risk.

9. ​​​​​​​"Initial Deposit" would remain in the client's own bank account if it is USD 12.5M or greater; for amounts under USD 10M, it would remain in the FEDERAL RESERVE BANK. The funds are fully insured dollar for dollar. This is governed by DEPOSIT AGREEMENT which will exist between the client and the lender. 

10. The project is then funded per the monthly drawdown schedule that is agreed to by both parties  (and the lender's insurer) as part of the Loan Contract.

11. Projects are completed as per the schedule, and the client may execute any of the four (4) Repayment options as outlined below at the client's sole discretion.

12. Four (4) options:  (a) Pay off the loan as per the Loan Agreement; (b) Renew the agreement for up to 48 months under the same terms and conditions as the original agreement; (c) Convert all or part of the outstanding debt to equity in the project based on a previously agreed-upon formula; (d) Convert the outstanding debt to a long-term mortgage.

13. Exit Strategy can be refinanced or the sale of the asset of several other options.

14. ​​​​​​​The lender offers the same  Line of Credit program to governments and government agencies with an interest rate of 1% and a term of 4 years.​

Are there any fees for setting up the loan?

  • There is No Upfront Fee

Fees and Underwriting

1. The Lender Fee is 3% of the total gross loan amount, due upon closing of the loan  (at first disbursement). This is paid directly from the Credit Facility as part of the first disbursement. Your own "Initial Deposit" is NOT included in this calculation.

2. The assigned "Custodian Fee" is a $5,000 USD/month  Management Fee for the oversight of a loan paid directly to PriceWaterhouse (the Lender does not derive any revenue from this process).

3. Legal/Closing Fees: This cost never exceeds 1% of the loan amount, with the high end (1%) only occurring in very complex transactions where appraisals may be ordered and multiple lawyers become involved. In all cases, itemized closing costs will be provided to the borrower - most of the Loan Agreements are handled under 1/2%, which typically translates to USD 25,000 - USD 35,000. The closing costs of any loan are the responsibility of the borrower.

4. Hakim Saya's success fee is 2% of the total gross loan amount, also payable at the time of the first draw.

5. Term sheet issues within 2 weeks from submission if the project is acceptable.

6. Full underwriting to the first draw is approximately 60-90 days.

​​​​​​​7. All funds are cleared through the US Federal Reserve Bank, European Central Bank, Bank of England, and the Central Bank of the Eastern Caribbean to guard against money laundering, any connection to terrorism activities, and the U.S. Patriot Act.
