As the financial and real estate markets continue to experience upheaval due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we understand that some Groundfloor investors may become more concerned than usual with the status of their investments.
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 we move into a new year, we are pleased to continue providing transparent updates of our asset management team’s activities. This latest installment looks at activity from December 2020. Going forward, we will publish these updates at the end of each month.

Principal and Interest Repaid Over The Past Months
First, let’s take a look at the total principal and interest repayments disbursed to investors over the past four months:
Aggregated Performance Metrics
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 Q4 2020, and loans repaid in 2020.
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.
Last Month’s Repayments - December 2020
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: Actual rate is not inclusive of any promotions. Individual repayments are dependent on how long your principal is active in a given loan.
**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.
