The property has historically benefited the City of Corsicana by providing much needed affordable housing in the community. Located in Navarro County, Corsicana is situated 55 miles southwest of downtown Dallas.

The borrower is single asset entity or 501c3 non-profit corporation organized under the laws of the state of Texas. Proceeds from the loan will be used for repairs and to replace reserve escrows.

"The 223a7 program was perfect for this property as it allows for existing HUD mortgages to be refinanced to the original loan balance with reduced documentation and quicker processing times to lower the interest rate," explained Bryan Cullen, director at Centerline Capital Group. "In this case, the interest rate was dropped from 6.00% to 3.10%. In addition, the loan is fully amortizing over 37 years as we were able to add 10 years to the initial loan maturity."

"We have completed three loans through Centerline’s small loan program, one through standard DUS and now a HUD loan," commented Jerry Jackson, officer of the non-profit entity. "We have been pleased in each transaction with the Centerline teams and look forward to working with them again in the future."
