Scientific Capital arranges a 2 million SBA 7a loan for the refinance
of the Ramada Inn in Phoenix, Arizona. The project was financed at 66%
Loan to Value (LTV) and included financing of the Property Improvement
Plan required by the franchisor. The purpose of obtaining a refinance
was to pay off private notes that were maturing in 2010 and carried
high interest rates. The refinancing will significantly help the cash
flow in this downturned economy.
The refinancing benefited from the ARRA Stimulus funds where the nearly
3% guarantee fee was waived. The Stimulus program is set to expire in
September 2010 but requires Congress to allocate funds continuously.
