Centrant Refi Loan: $1,075,000
13 year fixed rate / 18 year amortization

Laurel Crossing

Knightdale, NC

To help the borrower take advantage of current low interest rates, Centrant Community Capital structured this refinance of one of its own affordable housing loans and an existing subordinate loan.

At the request of the equity investor, the new loan maintains near-level debt payment and net cash flow. The borrower benefits from an interest rate reduction of nearly 275bp, and accelerated debt repayment from the shortened amortization period.

Originally placed in service in 2014, the property contains 12 one-bedroom units, 36 two-bedroom units and 12 three-bedroom units that are affordable to households earning between 30-60% of area median income.
