EMERY CIRCLE COMMERCIAL

Angela says: “This first security deed offering is being issued at a 9% yield to investors but one could make the case that a reasonable yield at 8% would be appropriate; however, there are risks (as with every offering – be sure to read the Risk Factors in the Offering Circular) that warranted a little higher yield to the investors. The strengths of this deal is that the guarantors have 700+ credit scores, the LTV is less than 50% (based on the MAI appraisal) and the tenant has the option to purchase the property for more than the MAI appraised value during the term of the lease, which establishes an exit plan for these real estate investors. Even with the risks associated with tenant-occupied properties during the time we still find ourselves making our ways through a pandemic, this 9% yield offering may be suited as an addition to your portfolio.”

Blackburne & Sons is pleased to present this $605,000 first security deed secured by an 8,000SF commercial building (occupied by daycare) on a 33,541SF parcel located in Austell, GA.  

This is an all-cash out refinance, in which the net proceeds will be for the purchase of more investment properties.

SUBJECT PROPERTY DETAILS


The subject property is approximately 14 miles west of Atlanta’s downtown central business district and one mile south of downtown Austell.  The subject’s immediate surrounding area features light industrial properties. Primary access to the subject neighborhood is provided by Interstate-20, U.S. Highway 78 (Veteran’s Memorial Hwy) and GA Highway 92 (Fairburn Rd).

Sitting on a 0.77-acre, rectangular parcel, the subject property is improved with an 8,000SF commercial building that has been renovated to accommodate the existing daycare tenant. The foundation is concrete slab, and the exterior walls are seamed metal panel siding and brick veneer. The interior floor plan has been designed to function as a daycare facility with age-oriented classrooms, adult and children’s restroom facilities, full commercial kitchen, dining area, administrative offices, front reception desk, lobby and outdoor recreation areas. Restrooms are primarily single and multi-unit bathrooms, with separate facilities for adults and children.

The property was purchased in August of 2020 for $415,000. The borrowers report a total of $285,000 in repairs on the subject property after purchase. After purchase, the borrowers signed a 10-year lease with a daycare tenant in which repairs/renovations were required and are outlined in the lease itself. The first 3 months of the lease was rent free, with rent of $10,600 per month starting in January of 2021. Per the borrowers, the rent is being paid despite the facility itself being closed due to COVID-19. According to them, the tenant falls under the Stable Grant and the CAPS program in the state of Georgia, and therefore the state continues to remit funds to tenant, to allow for timely payment of rent. In addition to the lease, the tenant has the option to purchase the subject property within the term of the lease for a price of $1,590,000.

BORROWER SUMMARY

Title to this property will be held by a Georgia limited liability company (LLC). This entity was formed in 2020 when the property was purchased and has not filed tax returns yet. This holding entity has two members, who will be personally guaranteeing the loan, along with the spouse of one of the members.

The first guarantor, working as a Real Estate Investor reported an income of $116,565 in 2019 and $68,208 in 2018. He reported a net worth of $16,835,267 and has a mid-credit score of 706.

The married couple who will be personally guaranteeing this loan have a stated net worth of $7,005,400 and a mid-credit scores of 755 and 738. Working as Real Estate Investors themselves, they reported a total income of $141,156 in 2019 and $126,735 for the year 2018.

Borrowers are looking to pull cash out of their existing free and clear commercial property to purchase other real estate in Georgia; however no specific property has been identified yet.

VALUATION SUMMARY

A local MAI appraiser was engaged to value this property, which provided an AS-IS value of $1,240,000. A local Georgia broker was also engaged to perform a drive-by opinion of value and provided an estimated market value of $1,590,000.

At a 9.0% yield to the investors and a 48.8% LTV (Appraised Value) this appears to be a reasonable investment. Investing in any first security deed involves substantial risk, so be sure to read the Risk Factors section of the Offering Circular carefully before investing. A large and prolonged decline in real estate values is possible. Foreclosed commercial properties almost always need to be renovated before they can be leased or sold, so be sure to maintain some liquidity.

George’s Advice For Successful First Mortgage Investing

  1. You should spread your mortgage investment portfolio out among lots of different deals. If you have $300,000 to invest, you should invest $10,000 to $20,000 in 15 to 20 different fractionalized first trust deeds. For example, if the deal is a $300,000 first trust deed on an office building in Boise, with a $15,000 investment you would own 5% of the loan. By spreading your money out into a bunch of different deals, you are achieving the diversity of a fund without the failed fund sponsor problem. If you are extremely wealthy, you could double (or even triple) my suggested investment amounts, but be careful about pouring too much money into a single deal. We once had a whole building fall into an old coal mine. Ouch.

  2. Be wise and resist investing in any first trust deed yielding more than 9%. I would personally never invest in a first trust deed with a double-digit yield. The payments slowly grind the borrowers into the dust.

  3. Blackburne’s Law theorizes that a portfolio of 8% and 9% first trust deeds will outperform a portfolio of 11% and 12% first trust deeds over a seven-year term. Only our wisest (and eventually the happiest) investors listen to me.

  4. You can also buy some of our smaller deals in their entirety, but I only recommend this if you are richer than Crassus.

  5. It is very easy to lose money in hard money first mortgages, so fight-fight-fight against the temptation to invest in high-yield deals. As Nancy Reagan used to say, “Just say no.” But if you choose 7% to 9% first mortgages, I predict that you will be very, very pleased. 

  6. During the S&L Crisis, commercial real estate fell by 45%. Within three years, values reached new highs. During the Dot-Com Meltdown, commercial real estate fell by 45%. Within three years, values reached new highs. During the Great Recession, commercial real estate fell by 45%. Within three years, values reached new highs. Some time in the next decade, we will have another opportunity to snatch up prime commercial real estate at a huge discount. You will be terrified, but when Blackburne and Sons invites you to join a syndicate to buy a nice commercial property at a 35% discount off its prior high, just remember that the best time to invest is when blood is running in the streets. Why not when real estate has fallen by 45%? You’ll never catch the very bottom because historically the bounces off the bottom happen much too fast. Bounce-soar. You will be terrified, but just remember that the best time to invest is when blood is running in the streets.
