6% on low end, 10% on high end. After fees. I'm not really talking about the smaller buy-n-flip private money lenders that do single family residential. My 6-10% is more so for CRE loans.

My fund just signed 3-4 deals that will be levered high teens returns, netting to mid teens after fees (~18 netting down to ~14).

Good deals are still out there (and some would argue somewhat easier to do because so many people are out of the market right now), but there is a lot of crap out there too.

 

I'm at a high yield debt fund. Most of the stuff we do is repositioning/bridge/construction loans.

We just signed a ground up condo development in a Sunbelt state at S+635, a couple of airport hotels that are about 90% complete at S+715 and a hotel repositioning loan at S+750.

 

We can go up to 65-70% LTC for deals.We will do back leverage, cut a senior/mezz, A/B, etc. on the back end, but when we sign a deal we speak for the whole deal. Our structure isn't borrowers problem (think of it like a CMBS execution where a bank is underwriting a deal and will fund with their balance sheet if they have to).That is how we get to our high teens returns.

It works like this (I'm completely making up numbers for effect): let's say lender ABC originates a whole loan that's $100M at S+500. A warehouse lender (Barclays, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs) looks to provide leverage to lender ABC at a 75% advance rate or $75M of your $100M position, priced at S+200. Your remaining $25M slug that lender ABC retains is earning the difference of the two spreads: ($100M *5% MINUS $75M *2%) DIVIDED By $25M = 14%. To the borrower it's S+5% money but to the lender retaining a $25M slug, it's significantly higher. Same concepts for carving out a senior/mezz, A/B note, or Loan on Loan

 

We are seeing senior quotes anywhere between 350 and 500, but you can pay 450 on a 650 deal and the math still works for IRR because sofr is so high. 200x3+650+400 (SOFR)+67(2 points over 3 years) = 1717.
