BridgeCore Capital, Inc. announced today it has closed a $1,400,000 acquisition financing of a McDonald’s property in Saraland, Alabama. The transaction highlights BridgeCore's ability to provide flexible, fast-executing capital solutions for opportunistic real estate investments.
The borrower secured the property at a price below fair market value due to the seller’s need to quickly redeploy sale proceeds into an imminent acquisition. The borrower’s business plan was to complete the acquisition and subsequently sell the property to another buyer at a higher valuation following issuance of the certificate of occupancy. This strategy required certainty of funding and rapid execution, which BridgeCore delivered.
Given the equity in the transaction, the borrower’s need for certainty and speed of execution, and the anticipated short-term hold period, BridgeCore structured a loan representing 92% of the purchase price and with only three months minimum interest. BridgeCore successfully closed the transaction within 15 business days to meet the borrower’s expedited timeline.
BridgeCore worked closely with the trusted mortgage advisory team, the sponsor, and the title company to coordinate an efficient closing process and ensure the acquisition was completed within the required timeline. By leveraging its extensive experience, in-house capabilities, and flexible capital base, BridgeCore was able to solve a critical timing challenge while delivering highly competitive financing terms.
