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

January 14, 2013

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”.

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

February 3, 2012

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.

If your deal is viable they will quickly issue you a quote, if you accept the quote you can expect your deal to close in 60 days or less.

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

February 1, 2012

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).
