Freddie SBL loan with Arbor

Property is cashflowing.

"cash invested" listed above represents the cap ex budget. - Should have included 20% down payment

@Philippe Schulligen Congrats on your first deal and first deal is always the most difficult deal and looks like a good deal . I have some questions.
Did you have investors in the deal?
Are you paying your investors a preferred return in this deal?
Did you pay only 12% down and still Freddie gave 88%LTV?
How did you financially structured the deal, can you please elaborate on that?

Yes we did a syndication with investors. No pref return. "Cash Invested" did not include the 20% for the loan. General Partners and Investors brought down payment + renovation + closing costs to the table.
