MasterPlan Capital to Grow Credit Tenant Lease (CTL)Division, sell Hotels, Halt some types of Lending

January 2, 2013, BostonMassachusetts, For Immediate Release

Commercial real estate investment banking firm MasterPlan Capital will be concentrating its origination efforts on credit tenant lease financing in the new year and beyond. In it’s annual report to partners, investors, and clients the firm announced that it will be placing more emphasis on growing the companies CTL loan volume and will discontinue lending against some other types of commercial real estate.

MasterPlan has decided to stop originating loans against automotive and gas station facilities, including car washes, and will discontinue rehab loans or loans against underperforming assets (turn-around projects). Further, the company will, over time, dissolve MasterPlan Hospitality Income, a private equity venture that sought to invest in mid-sized hotels along the Eastern Seaboard and on the West Coast of Florida, by liquidating substantially all of the fund’s assets. In 2010 MasterPlan stopped making construction and land loans (accept for single tenant real estate net leased to an investment grade tenant) and they will continue their prohibition on development lending.

 The report said, in-part: “CTL financing is a very efficient use of out time and resources. Once we determine that a deal qualifies for CTL we can proceed with an extremely high degree of confidence in closing. In short; if a stand-alone property has a single, investment grade tenant and a long term net lease, we can absolutely turn that lease into cash for the owner in forty five to sixty days”.

 CTL lending is a specialized financing method designed to fund the purchase, refinance and development of single tenant real estate that is net leased (NN, NNN or Bondable) to investment grade tenants. Walgreens, CVS, Home Depot and the US Government are popular tenants who qualify for CTL loans.

 The report continued: “CTL lending is a very unique form of financing that entails aspects of both standard commercial mortgage lending and sophisticated investment banking. Because of our extensive knowledge of both industries we (MasterPlan Capital) are in a very favorable position when it comes to advising clients, arranging financing and shepherding deals through to closing”.  

 CTL bankers issue and sell private placement bonds that are backed by net lease income. Proceeds from the bond sales are used to fund a commercial mortgage loan to the owner of the property. CTL loans are administered by third party trustees throughout the life of the loan.

 In the conclusion of the statement MasterPlan noted: “CTL finance has been a bright spot for our industry and for MasterPlan Capital during a very difficult lending environment. The relationships we’ve developed and the experience we’ve acquired will allow us to become a national leader in credit tenant lease lending over the next few years. We are excited about our prospects going forward and expect that our focus on CTL will continue to benefit our clients and our firm”.

To secure CTL loans the tenant must have an investment grade credit rating from a major rating agency. Bankers have no leeway in this matter.

In order to be considered a “credit tenant” the entity must have a BBB- or better rating from Standard & Poors or a Ba1 rating (or better) from Moody’s.

How to apply for a credit tenant lease (CTL) loan.-What Information is Needed for a Quick Yes or No Answer.

The single most important document a banker needs to see in-order to make a loan decision on the purchase, refinance or development of a single tenant, net leased (NNN, NN or bondable) is the lease itself.

The fact is that if the lease passes muster it is very likely a CTL investment banker can originate and close a fixed rate, high leverage (to 100% LTV), fully amortized commercial mortgage loan in under 60 days.

The executed lease will tell the bank several key pieces of information that are critical to a successful CTL loan. This information includes the lease guarantor, the address of the building, the extent of landlord responsibilities (if any), the monthly rent (from which they can accurately calculate the net-operating-income), the square footage of the building, the existence of any required reserves or escrows and a wealth of other valuable information.

Armed with the details that are included in the lease a CTL banker can, very quickly (usually within 48 hours), give a deal sponsor a highly reliable yes or no decision and if, after reading and analyzing the lease, the answer is yes they can count on an extremely high certainty of execution. The lease will also tell the banker the rent commencement date and how much time is left on the lease. This will allow them to check prevailing rates and calculate their maximum loan amount and the term of the mortgage.

The lease tells the bank almost all it needs to know to determine if a deal can be done.

Capital Available for Walgreens Mortgage Loans – Commercial Real Estate Investment Banker Earmarks $80mm for Walgreens Credit Tenant Lease (CTL) Loans.

CRE NEWS:
Jan 31, 2012

Commercial mortgage lender and real estate investment banking firm, MasterPlan Capital, has determined its 2012 capacity for credit tenant lease lending against Walgreens stores to be $80,000,000.00. 

Walgreens is a popular tenant among single tenant, triple net (NNN) investors and MasterPlan’s ’12 business plan allocates $80mm in capital for CTL loans for the pharmacy chain.

The firm will consider Walgreens CTL loans with a balance of $3mm or more but prefers portfolios of 3 or more stores with a loan balance of $15mm or better. MasterPlan also noted that it will originate loans against ground leases and construction projects if the numbers work but prefers purchase and refinance loans for fee simple, existing locations. The company’s business plan also revealed that it will shun Walgreens leases with less than 10 years left on them and will instead look to make loans against leases with at least 15 years left on the first leg. 

Walgreens is just one credit mentioned in the firm’s 2012 strategy and their plan noted that it can make loans against almost any tenant that has a long, net (NNN, NN or bondable) lease and an investment grade credit rating (BBB- or better by S&P, Ba1 or better by Moody’s).

MasterPlan Capital Sharpens Focus in 2012; CTL Lending, Bridge Loans and Mortgages on Income Producing Commercial Property to be Emphasized

January 3, 2012
Greenwich CT

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

MasterPlan Capital Sharpens Focus in 2012

Commercial real estate investment banking firm, MasterPlan Capital, has disclosed its 2012 business strategy. In a written statement to clients, employees and investors the firm noted that it will concentrate its efforts on credit tenant lease finance, private bridge lending and commercial mortgage lending against income producing commercial real estate. MasterPlan will deemphasize it’s participation in joint ventures and other forms of equity finance and will not consider land or development loans except for triple net leased projects or for existing clients of the firm.

Regarding credit tenant lease (CTL) loans for triple net leased (NNN), single tenant assets the statement read, in part:

“CTL finance has been one of the healthiest sectors of commercial real estate finance and promises to remain to be strong well into the future. Net lease investors have realized that locking in today’s low rates for the long term is a smart business move. CTL offers them a fixed rate, fully amortized, non-recourse commercial mortgage with terms (coterminous with the lease) to 30 years. MasterPlan Capital can provide these income investors with the absolute lowest rates in the industry and can offer them a very high degree of certainty of execution. In-short, no CTL banker is more competitive in pricing or dependable in closing deals.”

The firm also commented on private bridge lending:

“As the economy slowly improves more competitors are entering the short-term, bridge loan space. We intend to compete aggressively for the best deals without subjecting our investors to undue risk. That-is-to-say, in certain instances we might lower our lending rates but won’t increase our loan-to-value (LTV) ratios, won’t offer non-recourse bridge loans and won’t do deals for the sake of doing deals.”

The statement noted that the firm intends to continue originating commercial mortgage loans against income producing commercial real estate:

“Income producing commercial real estate mortgage loans such-as loans against multi-family assets, leased up office properties and light industrial buildings will continue to be a bread-and-butter, activity for the firm.”

The firm went on to explain why it is moving away from joint ventures, equity finance and land and development loans:

“Other forms of structured finance such as joint ventures and equity finance offer the potential for high returns to our company but are very taxing on the time and workload of our people and our third party service providers. We have determined that our valuable time is better spent on our core businesses. As-for lending against land and for construction and development, we will continue making these types of loans against unimproved real estate that is net leased to a single investment grade tenant and for existing clients of our firm but otherwise will no longer be accepting applications for land loans.”
