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.
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 September 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 - October 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 52 loans were repaid. 35 of them were current, repaying on time and in full. 17 were special situation loans, the details of which are below.
4099 Hall and Boree Rd - Repaid Via Extension
The project began in January 2020 and the loan had an original maturity date in October 2020. After experiencing some delays due to COVID-19, the project progressed and renovations were largely complete as the maturity date approached. Groundfloor reached a workout settlement to allow the borrower more time to finish up the renovation work. The borrower advised that the property was actively listed on the market in early 2021. After some time on the market, in May 2021 the property’s list price was reduced and the borrower changed agents to help expedite a sale. The property remained on the market for the next few months. Finally, in September 2021, the borrower advised that the property was under contract. The loan was subsequently repaid in October 2021.
77 Chicago Blvd - Repaid Via Extension
The project began in January 2020 and the loan had an original maturity date in January 2021. In January 2021, the borrower advised that they anticipated the project being completed and listed by March 2021. In March 2021, the borrower advised that the property was listed on the market; however, in April 2021 they had to delist the property in order to repair a roof leak. The roof was repaired and the property was relisted on the market by July 2021. In September 2021, the property went under contract, and in October 2021 the loan was repaid.
3222 Chapel St - Repaid Via Extension
The project began in June 2020 and the loan had an original maturity date in June 2021. As the maturity date approached, the borrower was still finishing up the final stages of the renovation work. As the maturity date passed, Groundfloor sent a Notice of Default to the borrower because the loan was not repaid by the maturity date. A workout agreement was subsequently reached, giving a new maturity date in September 2021. This date arrived with no repayment, so Groundfloor reached an additional workout agreement with the borrower, giving a new maturity date in December 2021. The loan was subsequently repaid in October 2021.
2801 Piedmont Dr - 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 by the borrower, so Groundfloor sent a Notice of Default to the borrower. The borrower advised they needed just a little more time for the property sale to complete to repay the loan. The loan was then repaid in October 2021.
3159 Alston 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 property was under contract, with an expected closing date in September 2021. The closing ended up taking longer than anticipated. The loan was repaid in October 2021.
2416 Kingston St - Repaid Via Extension
The project began in March 2021 and the loan had an original maturity date in September 2021. As the maturity date approached, the borrower advised that they were in the final stages of refinancing the loan. The loan was subsequently repaid in October 2021.
815 Welch St SW - Repaid Via Extension
The project began in August 2020 and the loan had an original maturity date in August 2021. In June 2021, the borrower advised that they were experiencing delays in receiving city permits. In September 2021, Groundfloor received a payoff request, and the loan was repaid in October 2021.
1528 Powder Ave [1st] [2nd] - Repaid Out Of Default
The project began in October 2019 and the loan had an original maturity date in October 2020. As renovations continued, the borrower advised Groundfloor that they intended to refinance the loan. In October 2020, the borrower advised that the refinance process remained ongoing. As the maturity date passed with no repayment, in November 2020 Groundfloor sent a Notice of Default to the borrower. The default period expired with no repayment, so in December 2020 Groundfloor engaged legal counsel to begin foreclosure proceedings. In January 2021, the borrower advised that they were still pursuing a refinance. Refinancing continued in tandem with foreclosure proceedings for the next several months. In May 2021, the borrower advised that the property was under contract with an expected closing date in June 2021. The closing date was pushed to September 2021, and the loan was finally repaid in October 2021.
833 85th St - Repaid Via Extension
The project began in March 2021 and the loan had an original maturity date in September 2021. In August 2021, the borrower advised that the property was actively listed on the market. The property needed a little more time to sell. The loan was repaid in October 2021.
7545 Wilder Ave - Repaid Via Extension
The project began in March 2021 and the loan had an original maturity date in August 2021. As the maturity date passed, the borrower advised that they were in the process of refinancing the loan. The loan was subsequently repaid in October 2021.
19330 Old Homestead Dr - Repaid Via REO
The project began in September 2019 and the loan had an original maturity date in June 2020. In March 2020, the borrower advised that the property was under contract and scheduled to close at the end of the month. However, in April 2020, the borrower advised that the closing had been delayed due to COVID-19. Later on that same month, Groundfloor issued a Notice of Default to the borrower for a failure to keep current with the monthly interest payments. The default period expired with no payments to bring the loan current, so in May 2020 Groundfloor engaged counsel to proceed with foreclosure. The Foreclosure process continued through the next months into 2021. In January 2021, our attorney advised that foreclosure proceedings were on hold due to a temporary foreclosure moratorium in place due to COVID-19. The foreclosure remained on hold through the spring and summer. In August 2021, our attorney advised that the foreclosure sale was scheduled for September 2021. At the foreclosure sale, Groundfloor was the successful bidder, and our team began preparing the property for sale. The loan was repaid in October 2021.
2182 Middlefield Rd - Repaid Via Extension
The project began in October 2020 and the loan had an original maturity date in October 2021. In May 2021, the borrower advised that renovations had been completed and the property was in the process of being listed. In September 2021, the borrower advised that they had reduced the asking price to encourage interest. The maturity date arrived with no repayment, but a few weeks later the loan was repaid.
690 Georgia St - Repaid Via Extension
The project began in March 2021 and the loan had an original maturity date in August 2021. In July 2021, the borrower advised that the property was actively listed on the market. In September 2021, the borrower advised that the property was under contract. The closing process took several weeks to complete, and the loan was repaid in October 2021.
1006 Fair St SW - Repaid Via Extension
The project began in February 2021 and the loan had an original maturity date in July 2021. The borrower needed more time to repay the loan, so Groundfloor reached a workout agreement. The loan was repaid in October 2021.
1074 Astor Ave SW - Repaid Via Extension
The project began in March 2020 and the loan had an original maturity date in March 2021. In February 2021, the borrower advised that the property was under contract. The property remained under contract as the borrower finished up renovations, which experienced delays due to COVID-19. The borrower advised that all work would be completed by August 2021. The borrower worked to pay off the loan over the next months, and the loan was fully repaid in October 2021.
825 Danmead Ave - Repaid Out Of Default
The project began in February 2020 and the loan had an original maturity date in February 2021. As the maturity date passed with no repayment, Groundfloor sent the borrower a Notice of Default in February 2021. In March 2021, Groundfloor engaged in workout discussions with the borrower as an alternative to foreclosure. Groundfloor subsequently agreed to a workout settlement, giving a new maturity date in June 2021. That maturity date passed with no repayment from the borrower, so Groundfloor sent a Notice of Default and began preparing to begin the foreclosure process. In September 2021, Groundfloor again reached a workout agreement, giving a new maturity date in October 2021. The loan was subsequently repaid.
