Venture West Funding Inc. has partnered with CapitalSource Bank, a Los Angeles-based bank with 22 branches in California, to originate small balance multifamily loans in California. CapitalSource Bank is funding loans from $750,000 to $10.0 million on stabilized multifamily properties in strong California markets. CapitalSource has a competitive portfolio-style program featuring non-recourse loans with flexible prepayment penalties.
In the first four months of 2010, Venture West Funding closed seven loans with CapitalSource Bank totaling $16.6 million with loan amounts ranging from $800,000 to $5.2 million. The goal for the next 12 to 18 months is $250 million in new loan originations.
“We’re pleased to be partnered with CapitalSource Bank," said Matt Douglas, principal of Venture West Funding. "It is a great opportunity to capture significant market share, especially in today’s challenging credit markets. It is also refreshing to have access to a bank with excess capital ready to lend.”
