Dominion America Realty Advisors closed a loan modification and finance restructuring on a newly acquired assisted living and memory care facility in Riverside County, Calif. DARA President Paul Horvitz and Executive Vice President Keith Olson negotiated the extension, discount and loan modification of an expired bank construction loan on behalf of the borrower.

The new financing arranged by DARA provided the borrower with an extension of the original loan principal and extended the loan term by an additional 12 years at the existing rate. The result was that the borrower was not forced to file bankruptcy, the most likely scenario prior to DARA’s re-negotiation efforts, thus keeping both the borrower’s credit rating good name intact.
