Gas station, restaurant and beer-lounge project
A $360,000 acquisition grew through substantial borrower-funded improvements. With a $1.627 million as-is real-estate value excluding equipment, Ahoo structured $1.184 million in bridge financing, including a $130,000 construction draw, to address contractor balances and complete the project. An SBA refinance is being pursued as a potential exit, subject to eligibility and approval.

At Edison Midtown, 3131 N Central Ave in Phoenix, the developer had sold 37 of the project’s 60 condominium units when carrying the remaining inventory created a liquidity squeeze. He had limited documented reserves while an aircraft-hangar interest owned with partners was still being sold. Ahoo refinanced 20 individually titled units together at approximately 75% LTV, with an eligible portion of the cash-out proceeds establishing the required post-closing reserves and providing liquidity for project obligations and the next project.
