CHARLOTTE, NC: Waterstone Defeasance recently closed a defeasance transaction for a $27 million Freddie Mac loan, secured by a multifamily property in Starkville, MS. Waterstone guided the owners through the defeasance process coinciding with the owners’ refinance of their loan.

As the defeasance consultant, Waterstone managed the activities of the numerous parties involved with the transaction in order to meet the borrower’s closing schedule. Parties associated with a defeasance transaction typically include the servicer, servicer’s counsel, borrower, borrower’s counsel, securities broker, custodian, accountant, rating agencies, and the successor borrower.

“The defeasance process was necessary to retire $27M in agency debt on a 528-unit multifamily property located in Starkville. The borrower is refinancing many of the loans in his portfolio while interest rates remain low.  We look forward to working with them again.” – Carol Tillman, COO with Waterstone
