Doing small balance loans with PSRS

What is a small balance loan?
Small balance loans are defined as a loan made between $1-10 million.Â
Borrowers typically do not think of life companies as contenders for loans of these sizes, as the perception is that the life companies focus primarily on loans from $5 million and up. Those loan requests then find homes with CMBS lenders, banks, or credit unions, who simply cannot offer some of the value that you will find through life company execution.Â
As it turns out, life companies have a significant appetite for your loan requests from $1 million and up.
What are the benefits of working with PSRS to gain access to the life company small balance programs?
Life company execution can provide:
- Long-term, fixed-rate loans from 10 to 30 year terms, fully amortizing (if desired)
- Best market rates. Resulting from contracting spreads as treasuries escalate
- Non-Recourse debt
- Flexible prepayment options
- Significant cost savings through due diligence
- The ability provide you with additional capital throughout the life of your loan. Recapturing some of the equity created, without having to create a 2nd mortgage
- Local servicing of your loan with the PSRS team
