After the COVID-19 pandemic’s onset in Q2 2020 triggered upheaval and uncertainty in financial and real estate markets, we wanted to provide Groundfloor investors with information about our asset management team’s activities.
On the heels of our extensive stress test analysis, which looked at the potential effects a coronavirus-related recession could have on our investors’ portfolios, starting in May 2020 our team began publishing weekly updates on loan repayments and asset management activities to provide a transparent look at how our loans were actually performing in real time.
As 2021 continues, we are pleased to continue providing transparent updates of our asset management team’s activities on a monthly basis. This latest installment looks at activity from April 2021.

First, let’s take a look at the total principal and interest repayments disbursed to investors over the past four months:
Next, let’s take a deeper dive into repayment activity over the past months to get a better picture of how our recently repaid loans have been performing. We examine the metrics of loans repaid within the last month, loans repaid since the start of Q2 2020, and loans repaid year-to-date in 2021.
It’s important to underscore that this table showcases the performance of loans that were repaid during the delineated periods, not the performance of loans originated during these timeframes.
This table presents loans that were repaid within the previous month, with details on the status, actual vs. expected term, actual vs. expected rate, and the exit valuation (sales price or appraised value at time of refinancing):
**NOTE: The borrower did not disclose the source of repayment proceeds.
Key To Loan Status Column:
Current - loan remained current throughout the term and repaid with full principal (plus interest)
Default - loan was resolved while in default
Workout - a workout plan was put into effect and the loan was resolved under the terms of the workout agreement
REO - Groundfloor assumed title to the property (either through foreclosure or deed in lieu) and sold the property.

Next, we provide a monthly overview of special situation loans we resolved in the prior month.
771 Casplan St SW - Repaid Via REO
The loan was in maturity default because the borrower failed to repay the loan by the maturity date. The project was begun in July 2019 with a maturity date in July 2020. In February 2020, the borrower advised that the renovations were nearing completion and that a tenant had been secured and was moving in. The maturity date arrived with no repayment from the borrower, so Groundfloor sent a Notice of Default in August 2020. The default period expired, so Groundfloor then engaged counsel to begin foreclosure proceedings. At the foreclosure auction in November 2020, Groundfloor was the successful bidder and took back control of the property. Groundfloor had initially found a wholesaler that was interested in the property, but then our Asset Management team approached the tenant to discuss the possibility of her purchasing the property at the same price. She was interested, so Groundfloor worked to get her set up to purchase the home. After a slight delay in closing due to government regulations, the tenant closed on the property and the loan was repaid in full in April 2021.
9709 Bear Lakes Rd - Repaid Out Of Default
The loan was in maturity default because the borrower failed to repay the loan by the maturity date. The project was begun in May 2019 with a maturity date in May 2020. The maturity date arrived with no repayment from the borrower, so Groundfloor sent a Notice of Default in May 2020. The borrower then advised that they were in the process of refinancing the Groundfloor loan. However, the refinance did not go through, so Groundfloor began foreclosure proceedings in September 2020. Foreclosure proceedings continued through the end of 2020 into 2021. In March 2021, the property went under contract, and the loan was repaid in full in April 2021.
518 Harper Ave - Repaid Via Workout Agreement
The loan was in maturity default because the borrower failed to repay the loan by the maturity date. The project was begun in June 2019 with a maturity date in June 2020. The borrower experienced multiple delays due to COVID-19, and in August 2020 Groundfloor provided loan leniency in the form of a 120-day extension, with a new maturity date in November 2020. However, the loan was not repaid by that maturity date, so Groundfloor commenced foreclosure proceedings. In February 2021, Groundfloor accepted a purchase offer, and the loan was repaid in full in April 2021.
8536 3rd Ave S - Repaid Via Workout Agreement
The loan was in maturity default because the borrower failed to repay the loan by the maturity date. The project was begun in September 2019 with a maturity date in October 2020. Renovations were completed in March 2020 and the property was actively listed on the market. The property remained active on the market for several months with no offers. The maturity date arrived with no repayment, so Groundfloor issued a Notice of Default to the borrower. The borrower subsequently advised that they were in the process of refinancing the Groundfloor loan, so Groundfloor granted a forbearance with a new maturity date in December 2020. The refinance process was still ongoing in December 2020, so Groundfloor granted an additional forbearance with a new maturity date in March 2021 to allow the refinance process to be completed. The refinance was successful, and the loan was repaid in full in April 2021.
693 Waterford Rd NW - Repaid Via Workout Agreement
The loan was in maturity default because the borrower failed to repay the loan by the maturity date. The project was begun in July 2019 with a maturity date in July 2020. The borrower advised that they were in the process of refinancing the loan as the maturity date approached, so Groundfloor provided loan leniency in the form of a 90-day extension, giving a new maturity date in October 2020. The closing date was pushed back several times. The refinance finally completed and the loan was repaid in full in April 2021.
6192 Ridge Rd - Repaid Out Of Default

The borrower advised that the property was under contract with an expected closing date in August 2020; however, due to an appraisal issue, the closing date was pushed back until October 2020. The contract did not go through, and Groundfloor entered into workout discussions as an alternative to foreclosure in November 2020. The property went under contract again, but the sale was again unsuccessful. The borrower then advised they were pursuing refinancing to repay the loan. The refinance was successful and the loan was repaid in full in April 2021.

The maturity date arrived with no repayment, so Groundfloor issued a Notice of Default to the borrower. The state of Massachusetts had a foreclosure moratorium in place until October 2020, so Groundfloor was unable to begin foreclosure proceedings. The borrower subsequently advised that the property was under contract. However, the property still had not sold after several months, so Groundfloor engaged legal counsel to begin foreclosure proceedings in February 2021. As foreclosure progressed, the borrower advised that the property was again under contract in March 2021, and the loan was repaid in full in April 2021.
