ACG Companies closes $28M bridge loan

Oct. 2, 2013 - PRLog -- ACG Companies and its family of funds (ACG) has successfully closed a $28,000,000 bridge loan on 52 acres of prime ocean front real estate mid-way between San Jose and Cabo San Lucas Mexico.  This loan will give the developer, Ignacio Ramirez the time that he needs to start doing the horizontal development on his 400 room golf destination resort in addition to allowing him to get a significant discount on the bank note.

"This may seem like what they call a Hard Money Loan to most at the rate/term that we are getting, but to have a lender step up and do a loan of this size, in a foreign country in less than 30 days, with a bank threatening to foreclose is more than worth the 11% coupon that the borrower was willing to pay. In addition, he was able to save millions from the original bank  note" said ACG Companies Paul Garcia.

"We have some of the most beautiful Ocean front property in all of Baja California. We have spent years in getting the proper documentation in order to accomplish our parents goal  and finishing what they started. Losing the property would have been a devastation to us all after spending the amount of money that we have and all the years that we have toiled. We first started talking to ACG Company Paul Garcia the end of September and they quickly told us that they would be willing to help as long as they could assume the negotiations with our bank, which they did." said, Mr. Ignacio Ramirez of Trinidad Dev.

"Listen, we're not in the business of saving banks or investors of any type that wish to recoup on a bad investment which was the case with the loan made on this property and Mr. Ramirez. However, if we can minimize the amount of money that goes into paying a loan off and maximize the amount that goes into creating even more value to the property...then we're a reasonable solution" said, ACG Companies Paul Garcia.
