www.potomacrc.com - Potomac Realty Capital, LLC ("Potomac"), a full service commercial capital provider, structured and funded a $38.2 million loan for a 942-unit multi-family portfolio (the "Portfolio") located in San Antonio, Texas. The loan was structured as a $33.5 Million first mortgage note and a $4.7 million mezzanine loan. The combined proceeds funded will be used

to acquire the Portfolio, and to provide for a minor renovation program and interest reserve. The properties in the Portfolio were built in 1985 and total 765,548 square feet. Forbes Magazine recently rated San Antonio as the second most recession-proof city in the United States. This is evidenced by consistently increasing rents, occupancy rates and population growth, and low unemployment rate. The borrower is a special purpose entity composed of a full service real estate firm and a joint venture between six individual investors. The loan was originated by Potomac's Jeffrey Weingart, Vice President, Capital Markets. "As a result of the tightened credit markets, this deal fell out of two major shops over the past 6 months. Potomac saw the inherent value of both the market and the Portfolio, and closed the deal in just 21 days. We not only provided the capital they needed, we've built a strong relationship that should provide us with many future deals to come," said Weingart.

"In today's market, a reliable lender is hard to come by. We have not changed since day one; we are reliable, creative and quick to close deals. This was our 6th deal in 6 weeks and we will continue to fund loans for both new and existing clients across the country," said Dan Palmier, President & CEO of Potomac.
