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 January 2022.

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 Q1 2022, and loans repaid year-to-date in 2022.
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.
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.
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

2061 Austin Dr - Repaid Via Extension
The project began in November 2020 and the loan had an original maturity date in November 2021. As the maturity date approached, the borrower advised that they were in the process of refinancing the loan. Groundfloor then reached a workout settlement with the borrower, giving a new maturity date in December 2021. The borrower advised that the refinance process would be finished by the end of the month. The loan was repaid in January 2022.
4107 Murray Lake Cir - Repaid Via Extension
The project began in December 2020 and the loan had an original maturity date in December 2021. The project was progressing as planned and Groundfloor had received a payoff request good through December 2021. The loan was subsequently repaid in January 2022.
1625 Perry St - Repaid Via Extension
The project began in October 2020 and the loan had an original maturity date in August 2021. As the maturity date approached, the borrower advised that the property was under contract, with an expected closing date in October 2021. However, the contract did not go through. After several other sales did not go through, the borrower advised that they were instead pursuing a refinance. The refinance process continued through the end of the year, and the loan was then repaid in January 2022.
191 Katherine Dr - Repaid Via Extension
The project began in November 2020 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. Groundfloor then reached a workout settlement with the borrower, giving a new maturity date in January 2022. The loan was subsequently repaid in January 2022.
1404 West 13th St - Repaid Via Extension
The project began in April 2021 and the loan had an original maturity date in late September 2021. As the maturity date approached, the borrower advised that they were in the process of refinancing the loan, with an expected closing date in late October 2021. However, the refinancing process took longer than anticipated as the borrower was still waiting on the appraisal in November 2021. In December, the borrower and loan processor advised that the refinance would be completed by the end of the month. The loan was subsequently repaid in January 2022.
1405 Chicago Blvd - Repaid Out Of Default
The project began in June 2019 and the loan had an original maturity date in August 2020. In August 2020, Groundfloor provided loan leniency in the form of an extension, giving a new maturity date in October 2020. The property was in need of a lot of work; however, Groundfloor was unable to initiate foreclosure proceedings because the county was not holding foreclosure sales. Instead, Groundfloor focused on connecting the borrower with a refinance lender, while also granting an extension so the borrower could continue working on the project. The extension gave a new maturity date in March 2021. Unfortunately, the refinance fell through; the borrower then advised that they were going to list the house for sale as-is. Selling the property proved unsuccessful. Finally, once the foreclosure moratorium was lifted, in September 2021 Groundfloor initiated foreclosure proceedings. Foreclosure proceedings continued through the following months. In November 2021, Groundfloor accepted a short sale offer to avoid foreclosure, with an expected closing date in January 2022. The loan was subsequently repaid with a 2% interest rate in January 2022.
832 Mikael Ave - Repaid Via Extension
The project began in October 2020 and the loan had an original maturity date in July 2021. As the maturity date approached, the borrower advised that they were in the process of refinancing the loan. As the borrower was in good standing, Groundfloor provided a forbearance agreement so the renovations could be completed and so the refinance could go through. The refinancing process continued through the following months, and the loan was finally repaid in January 2022.
11450 Kelley Acres Ln N - Repaid Via Extension
The project began in December 2020 and the loan had an original maturity date in October 2021.

The refinance completed and the loan was repaid in January 2022.
555 Rogers Dr & 2728 Pierce Dr - Repaid Via Extension
The project began in September 2020 and the loan had an original maturity date in September 2021. As the maturity date approached, the borrower advised that the properties were actively listed on the market. The properties were cross-collateralized with each other; 555 Rogers sold first, and the borrower was able to use those funds to partially pay off the loan. 2728 Pierce took longer to sell. The borrower needed more time to finish up construction and sell the property, so Groundfloor granted an extension. The borrower was finally able to sell 2728 Pierce and pay off the rest of the loan in January 2022.
955 Montague Rd - Repaid Via REO
The project began in February 2019 and the loan had an original maturity date in February 2020. As the maturity date approached, the borrower advised that they were in the process of refinancing their loan. As the maturity date passed with no repayment, Groundfloor sent a Notice of Default to the borrower and notified them that if the loan was not repaid by March 2020, they would be foreclosed on. The loan was not repaid, so in March 2020 Groundfloor initiated foreclosure proceedings. Foreclosure proceedings continued through the next several months.The foreclosure date was scheduled in October 2020; Groundfloor was the successful bidder at the sale and after taking time to prepare the property, Groundfloor began actively marketing the property in January 2021. The property remained on the market for several months. In July 2021, Groundfloor advised that the property was under contract; however, the sale fell through. In September 2021, the property was relisted on the market at a lower price to attract buyers. The property remained on the market through the end of 2021. In January 2022, the property was finally sold and the loan was repaid.
The property was sold for $166,400. After adding the remaining escrow balance and subtracting foreclosure costs and fees, the net recovery on this property was $165,380.58, which represents a 79% recovery of principal. Impacted investors may view a more detailed breakdown of the recovery in our recent email communication.
