We are your structured finance specialists! Winter & Company has taken the lead in structured finance for "transitional" properties where a temporary interruption of cash flow may be required for an Owner/Developer to add value by renovating, combining units, adding floors, etc.

Depending on factors ranging from the loan-to-value ratio to a developer's financial strength and track record, these "single closing" bridge loan/renovation loan/permanent loan transactions may require a combination of institutional and private lending sources in order to achieve the best results. In many cases structured finance transactions may also include a layer of mezzanine financing and/or preferred equity.

Winter & Company is adept at structuring multi-phase financing, usually with a single Lender. Both personally guaranteed and non-recourse financing can be arranged depending upon the degree of leverage desired, the experience level of the Borrower and other factors.

In structured finance transactions, credit enhancement whether derived from income-producing real estate or non-real estate sources such as marketable securities can sometimes be used to achieve higher leverage than would otherwise be possible.
