Case Study: Renovations in Sacramento
Let's consider a scenario in Sacramento, California, involving a property investor named Rachel. Rachel had recently acquired a 50-unit apartment complex, funding its renovation using a Fannie Mae Moderate Rehabilitation Loan. These renovations significantly increased the value of the property and helped maintain high occupancy rates.
After the completion of the primary renovations, Rachel discovered an opportunity to boost the property's appeal even more. She planned to upgrade the common areas such as the lobby, outdoor seating spaces, and the laundry room. The estimated cost of these additional improvements was around $150,000.
To secure the necessary funds, Rachel opted to apply for a Fannie Mae Moderate Rehabilitation Supplemental Loan. Her existing loan was in good standing and the success of her renovations made her an excellent candidate for additional financing.
Rachel prepared her application and paid the requisite fees, and her loan request was approved by Fannie Mae. She was granted a loan with a term and amortization of 30 years, aligned with the schedule of her original loan. The loan was fully amortizing, carried a fixed interest rate, and was non-recourse, thus limiting Rachel's personal liability.
The additional funds allowed Rachel to complete the enhancements to the common areas, increasing the overall appeal of the apartment complex. The improvements resulted in higher tenant satisfaction and retention, ultimately increasing the property's profitability. Thanks to the Fannie Mae Moderate Rehabilitation Supplemental Loan, Rachel was able to further improve her property and boost its value.
