Boca Raton, Florida / Investment-property refinance
A small multifamily owner considers replacing a maturing loan while preparing for longer-term financing.
Illustrative transaction — not an actual Palermo closing. All figures, dates, structures and outcomes are hypothetical.

01 / The challenge
A fictional investor owns a non-owner-occupied small multifamily property. Existing financing is nearing maturity. The investor’s plan is to replace that debt while assembling the property and operating information needed for a subsequent financing conversation.
02 / The structure
The example assumes a $1,500,000 current value and a $900,000 first-lien refinance, giving a 60.00% loan-to-value ratio. The new loan retires $780,000 of existing debt. The $120,000 difference is gross proceeds before closing costs, reserves or other required allocations; it is not stated as net cash to the borrower.
Hypothetical LTV
$900,000 ÷ $1,500,000Future-advance holdback
$900,000 initial + $0 holdback = $900,000LTV uses the explicitly stated property-value basis. LTC uses the stated total project cost. These sample ratios do not establish lending limits.
