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 more insight into 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.
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 December 2021.

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 2021, and loans repaid year-to-date in 2021.
It's important to note that the above table shows the performance of loans that were repaid during the time periods noted, not the performance of loans originated during these timeframes.
Last Month’s Repayments - December 2021
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, if available):
Please note that we have recently updated the terminology we use to categorize loan performance. Going forward, we are reserving the label “default” for those loans past maturity in which some legal action is being taken. All loans that reach maturity but are otherwise in good standing or have a contract extension in place will now be labeled “extended.” You can read more about this terminology change in our Portfolio Analysis: Q3 2021.
*NOTE: Actual rate is not inclusive of any promotions. Individual repayments are dependent on how long your principal is active in a given loan.
Key To Loan Status Column:
Current - loan remained current throughout the term and repaid with full principal (plus interest)
Extended - loan was past maturity and Groundfloor granted contract extension or forbearance agreement
Default - loan was past maturity and Groundfloor took some legal action (e.g., pursuing foreclosure or filing an insurance claim) to resolve the loan
REO - Groundfloor assumed title to the property (either through foreclosure or deed in lieu) and sold the property

Special Situations Repaid Last Month
Next, we provide a monthly overview of special situation loans we resolved in the prior month.
Last month, a total of 39 loans were repaid. 20 of them were current, repaying on time and in full. 19 were special situation loans, the details of which are below.
311 South 12th St - Repaid Via Extension
The project began in May 2021 and the loan had an original maturity date in November 2021. In November 2021, the borrower advised that they expected to pay off the loan by the end of December. The loan was repaid in December 2021.
1536 Montreat Ave SW - Repaid Via Extension
The project began in December 2020 and the loan had an original maturity date in June 2021. In July 2021, the borrower advised that the project was scheduled to be listed, and Groundfloor agreed to a workout settlement, giving a new maturity date in September 2021. The project continued to progress, and as the new maturity date arrived Groundfloor agreed to an additional workout settlement, giving a new maturity date in November 2021. The loan was subsequently repaid in November 2021.
2531 Midway Rd - Repaid Via REO
The project began in August 2019 and the loan had an original maturity date in July 2020. During the course of demolition, the borrower discovered significant foundational issues that required more work than anticipated. So, in August 2020 Groundfloor granted loan leniency in the form of a 90-day extension, giving a new maturity date in October 2020. As the new maturity date arrived, Groundfloor agreed to a second extension, giving a new maturity date in February 2021. As the maturity date approached, the borrower advised that the property was under contract, with an expected closing date in April 2021. However, the property failed to close, so Groundfloor began workout discussions with the borrower in an effort to avoid foreclosure. In September 2021, Groundfloor obtained the property via a Deed in Lieu agreement. In November 2021, the property went under contract, and it sold as-is in December 2021, enabling us to recover full principal and some interest.
6514 Swallow Cove Rd - Repaid Via Extension
The project began in June 2021 and the loan had an original maturity date in November 2021. As the maturity date approached, the borrower advised that the property was under contract. The sale was completed and the loan was repaid in December 2021.

1427 Elizabeth Ave SW - Repaid Via Extension
The project began in September 2020 and the loan had an original maturity date in September 2021. In October 2021, the borrower informed that they were planning to sell the property as-is and had a buyer lined up, with the sale expected to close in November. Unfortunately, the buyer backed out at the last minute. Groundfloor began foreclosure proceedings, but did not proceed further as the borrower advised they had found another buyer. The loan was repaid in December 2021.
137 Hay St - Repaid Via Extension
The project began in August 2020 and the loan had an original maturity date in August 2021. In September 2021, Groundfloor reached a workout agreement with the borrower, giving a new maturity date in November 2021.

In June 2021, the borrower advised that the property was under contract with an expected closing date in August 2021. In September 2021, the borrower advised that closing was delayed.

14516 Aqua Vista Ct - Repaid Via Extension
The project began in May 2021 and the loan had an original maturity date in November 2021. As the maturity date approached, the borrower advised that the property was under contract. The loan was repaid in December 2021.
4 Tallant Rd - Repaid Via REO
The project began in June 2019 and the loan had an original maturity date in June 2020. The borrower had not made sufficient progress on the project, so in June 2020 Groundfloor issued a Notice of Default, with the intention of proceeding with foreclosure if the loan was not repaid by July 2020. The loan was not repaid, so Groundfloor proceeded with foreclosure in July 2021. However, a state moratorium on foreclosure proceedings was in effect through December 2021. Groundfloor resumed foreclosure proceedings once the moratorium was lifted in January 2021. Foreclosure proceedings continued through the next months. In April 2021, our attorney advised that title had cleared and a foreclosure sale was being scheduled for June 2021. Groundfloor was the successful bidder at the foreclosure sale, and in August 2021 we received the foreclosure Deed of Sale and were inspecting the property to prepare it for sale. In October 2021, the property was listed for sale. The property remained for sale for the next couple of months, and our realtor advised that the property was not in great condition and would most likely be a tear down. In December 2021, Groundfloor received an offer for sale, the proceeds of which allowed us to recover full principal.
3130 Lavista Rd - Repaid Via Extension
The project began in August 2020 and the loan had an original maturity date in June 2021. As the maturity date arrived, Groundfloor reached a workout settlement with the borrower, giving a new maturity date in October 2021. As the new maturity date arrived, Groundfloor again reached a workout settlement, giving a new maturity date in November 2021. The borrower subsequently advised they were pursuing a refinance. The loan was subsequently repaid in December 2021.
2578 Barge Rd SW - Repaid Via Extension
The project began in March 2021 and the loan had an original maturity date in September 2021. The maturity date arrived with no repayment, so Groundfloor agreed to a workout settlement with the borrower, giving a new maturity date in December 2021. The loan was repaid in December 2021.
7727 Free Ave - Repaid Via Extension
The project began in July 2021 and the loan had an original maturity date in December 2021. The maturity date arrived as the loan was in the process of being paid off. The loan was repaid about a week after the maturity date.
1817 Kittyhawk Rd - Repaid Out Of Default
The project began in October 2019 and the loan had an original maturity date in July 2020. The maturity date approached as renovations were nearing completion, so Groundfloor agreed to a workout settlement with the borrower, giving a new maturity date in October 2020. The project continued to progress well. As the new maturity date approached, Groundfloor agreed to a second workout settlement with the borrower, giving a new maturity date in April 2021. The borrower subsequently advised that a potential buyer was interested in the property but needed additional adjustments made to make the property more handicap accessible. These adjustments were made through May and June, and in June 2021 the borrower advised that the property was under contract with an expected closing date in July 2021. However, the sale did not go through. Groundfloor then undertook workout discussions with the borrower in an effort to avoid foreclosure, and reached a settlement agreement that gave a new maturity date in October 2021. Groundfloor then informed the borrower that the file would be referred to counsel for foreclosure by November 2021 if the loan was not repaid. The maturity date arrived with no repayment, so the file was referred for foreclosure in November 2021. However, Groundfloor received a payoff request good through December 2021 and paused foreclosure proceedings. The loan was repaid in December 2021.
544 Higher Combe Dr - Repaid Via Extension
The project began in October 2020 and the loan had an original maturity date in October 2021. The maturity date arrived as renovations were finishing up so Groundfloor agreed to a workout settlement with the borrower, giving a new maturity date in January 2022. Renovations were completed and the loan was repaid in December 2021.
1771 Dodson Dr SW - Repaid Via Extension
The project began in December 2020 and the loan had an original maturity date in December 2021. In November 2021, the borrower advised that they had received an offer and were negotiating with a potential buyer. Groundfloor provided a forbearance agreement to allow the sale to go through. The loan was repaid at the end of December 2021, a couple of weeks after the maturity date.
2816 Dellmont Ave - Repaid Via Extension
The project began in March 2021 and the loan had an original maturity date in September 2021.
