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 Q3 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.

Last Month’s Repayments - July 2022

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):

*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 80 loans were repaid. 33 of them were current, repaying on time and in full. 38 loans were granted an extension last month and were repaid after the stated maturity date. 9 were special situation loans, the details of which are below.

487 Ridgecrest Dr - Repaid Out Of Default

The project began in August 2021 and the loan had an original maturity date in January 2022. As the maturity date approached, the borrower advised that they were in the process of refinancing the loan. The refinance was not making progress, so in April 2022 Groundfloor began foreclosure proceedings. Property inspections occurred in May 2022, and a foreclosure sale date was set for July 2022. 

410 Wilson Pl - Repaid Out Of Default

The project began in March 2019 and the loan had an original maturity date in March 2020. As the maturity date approached, the borrower advised that they were in the process of refinancing the loan. The refinance process continued through the next several months after being delayed due to COVID-19. The borrower advised they were pursuing refinancing with multiple different lenders, and refinancing efforts continued through the end of 2020. Groundfloor entered into workout negotiations with the borrower in an attempt to avoid foreclosure in December 2020, and in January 2021 a refinance lender provided a commitment for refinancing. However, after all documentation was collected, the appraisal came back as too low, which caused the refinance lender to back out. As such, Groundfloor began foreclosure proceedings in May 2021. Foreclosure remained ongoing through the next several months; in parallel, the borrower continued to work to refinance the loan. Upon inspection of the property for foreclosure, a tenant was found occupying the property in October 2021, which necessitated procedures to have them vacate. Foreclosure legal proceedings remained ongoing through the end of 2021 and into 2022. Groundfloor continued negotiating with the borrower in an attempt to speed up payoff, and in June 2022 the borrower advised that a refinance was imminent. The refinance went through and the loan was repaid with full principal and partial interest in July 2022.

13886 CR 44 - Repaid Via REO

The project began in November 2018 and the loan had an original maturity date in November 2019. As the maturity date approached, the borrower advised that they were in the process of refinancing the loan. Additionally, the borrower agreed to a global resolution with Groundfloor for this loan as well as three other loans with the same borrower. Pursuant to the global resolution, if this loan was not resolved by October 2019, Groundfloor would begin foreclosure proceedings. The borrower defaulted on the global resolution, so in October 2019 Groundfloor began foreclosure proceedings. Legal proceedings continued through the end of 2019 and through 2020, with the court hearings getting delayed due to COVID-19 as well as foreclosure moratoriums. Finally, Groundfloor’s attorney advised that a foreclosure sale date was set for February 2021; however, this date was pushed back due to foreclosure moratoriums in place. In March 2021, the courts granted the borrower additional time to obtain a refinance loan in order to keep the property. A foreclosure hearing was scheduled for July 2021, and the borrower continued to try to refinance the loan in parallel. A foreclosure sale date was scheduled for October 2021. At the sale, Groundfloor was the successful bidder and the property became REO. Groundfloor undertook preparations to sell the property through the next few months. In December 2021, the property went under contract; however, the contract fell through and the property was put back on the market in January 2022. The property remained for sale for the next few months. In June 2022, the property went back under contract, and in July 2022 the property was sold and the loan was repaid with a principal loss.

The property was sold for $356,795.17. After adding the remaining escrow balance and subtracting foreclosure costs and legal fees, the net recovery on this property was $331,956.45, which represents a 95% recovery of principal. Impacted investors may view a more detailed breakdown of the recovery in our recent email communication. 

1180 Holly St NW - Repaid Out Of Default

The project began in November 2020 and the loan had an original maturity date in October 2021. As the maturity date approached, Groundfloor began workout discussions with the borrower in an effort to avoid foreclosure. Workout discussions were ultimately unsuccessful and foreclosure proceedings began in December 2021. In February 2022, our attorney advised that a foreclosure sale date was set for April. This date was then pushed back to June 2022. Separately, the borrower was attempting to sell the property, which was ultimately successful. The loan was repaid in July 2022. 

1278 Epworth St SW - Repaid Out Of Default

The project began in April 2021 and the loan had an original maturity date in April 2022. As the maturity date approached, Groundfloor entered into workout discussions in an attempt to avoid foreclosure. In June 2022, Groundfloor advised the borrower that the loan was in default, with foreclosure actions to follow if the loan was not repaid. The borrower subsequently advised that they were in the process of refinancing the loan. The loan was subsequently repaid in July 2022. 

1305 Epworth St SW - Repaid Out Of Default

The project began in April 2021 and the loan had an original maturity date in April 2022. In June 2022, Groundfloor advised the borrower that the loan was in default, with foreclosure actions to follow if the loan was not repaid. The borrower subsequently advised that they were in the process of refinancing the loan. The refinance completed and the loan was repaid in July 2022.

912 West 13th St - Repaid Out Of Default

The project began in September 2018 and the loan had an original maturity date in September 2019. As the maturity date approached, the borrower advised that they were in the process of refinancing the loan. However, the refinance did not go through, and in October 2019 Groundfloor engaged counsel to proceed with foreclosure actions. Foreclosure proceedings continued through the remainder of 2019, and in January 2020 our attorney advised that a foreclosure sale date was set for May 2020. In the meantime, the borrower continued to seek alternative financing to avoid foreclosure. The foreclosure sale was delayed due to a state foreclosure moratorium because of COVID-19, and Groundfloor continued to work with our attorney to schedule a new hearing date. The foreclosure moratorium remained in effect through the end of 2020 and into 2021. In parallel, the borrower continued to try to find financing to repay the loan and avoid foreclosure. In July 2021, Groundfloor obtained new counsel to expedite the foreclosure process. Foreclosure continued into 2022. In March 2022, Groundfloor discovered the property was occupied and referred it for eviction proceedings. In May 2022, a foreclosure sale date was set for July 2022. The property was sold and the loan was repaid in July 2022. 

2518 Godfrey Dr NW - Repaid Via REO

The project began in February 2021 and the loan had an original maturity date in February 2022. As the maturity date approached, the borrower advised that they were in the process of negotiating with a buyer. The sale did not go through and in April 2022 the property was referred to our legal counsel for foreclosure. The foreclosure sale was set for June 2022; the property did not sell at the auction and thus became REO. Groundfloor then received an offer on the property and the loan was repaid in July 2022. 

2638-2640 & 2630-2632 East 122nd St - Repaid Out Of Default

The project began in March 2020 and the loan had an original maturity date in March 2021. As the maturity date approached, the borrower advised that they were in the process of refinancing the loan. Because this was a multi-unit property, refinancing took longer than a traditional refinance loan. The refinance continued through the next few months, with the borrower advising that a purchase agreement was in place and inspections were scheduled as of August 2021. As time progressed, the loan was still outstanding, and in December 2021 Groundfloor began foreclosure proceedings. Foreclosure proceedings continued through the first half of 2022, with the borrower pursuing alternative payoff methods in parallel. Finally, in July 2022, Groundfloor negotiated a settlement on the property that resulted in full principal and partial interest repayment in order to avoid a lengthier and more costly foreclosure process.
