UMH Properties, Inc. has successfully completed the $16.3 million refinancing of its Fairview Manor community through Wells Fargo Bank, N. A.
The loan, from the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), has a 10-year maturity with principal repayments based on a 30-year amortization schedule. Interest is set at 3.85 percent and the loan was used to repay an existing 5.875 percent mortgage and other inventory financing lines.
“We are very pleased with our relationships with Wells Fargo Bank and Freddie Mac,” said UMH president and CEO Sam Landy.
