Anthony DiMarco, also a managing director, secured financing for two separate manufactured home community owners. A loan of $3,250,000 was secured on the 253-site Creekside Estates in Grovetown, Georgia for a repeat client. With 40% park owned homes, Anthony worked with the lender to provide a long-term fixed rate and 30-year amortization. Anthony also secured a loan with a rate under 4.5% for Ridgebrook and Valley Hills Mobile Home Communities totaling 736 sites in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The $6,650,000 non-recourse, long-term fixed rate loan closed in under 40 days.

In addition, Anthony also secured refinancing of a Buffalo Apartment Portfolio for a repeat client. With 3 apartment complexes in Buffalo, New York, the non-recourse $3,913,000 loan featured an attractive long-term fixed rate. Also, Mr. DiMarco helped negotiate the financing of a multi-state manufactured home community portfolio for $9,760,000 for a repeat client. The non-recourse loan featured a long-term fixed rate. The portfolio consisted of 923 sites with properties in Kansas, Illinois, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Minnesota and Iowa.
