Why Lend is Increasing Interest Rates

We are excited to announce the launch of our second mortgage through Lend, 157 Wells, a property situated in our Atlanta market. As Lend continues to grow, we remain committed to not only participating in the mortgage market but to reshaping it.

Fantastic Financial Instruments

At Landa, we firmly believe in the sheer potential of mortgages. They are exceptional financial instruments, yet are not popularly adopted by retail investors. This underutilization often stems from the historically high fees tied to mortgages, largely imposed by sizable financial institutions.

Navigating through double appraisals, title costs, and legal bills isn't just expensive. It's complex and can deter investors seeking a more straightforward and hassle-free investment approach.

Unraveling the Tangled Web of Mortgage Fees

In traditional mortgage transactions, it's common for both the investor (or lender) and the borrower to part with a significant 3-5% of the total transaction amount in fees. This mortgage journey involves loans passing through multiple parties: from the originator to an investment bank, and finally to the investor. Each party takes a cut, culminating in substantial expenses. So, when all's said and done, we're looking at some seriously elevated fees.

On top of all this, if a default happens, you've got to consider the added burden of legal fees and foreclosure costs. These can introduce significant financial challenges for everyone involved.

Enter, Lend, a debt fund that stands out in the market for its accessibility and simplicity while offering competitive interest rates.

How Lend is Revolutionizing the Mortgage Process

Streamlining the Mortgage Process: We're taking the middlemen out of the picture – no more mortgage brokers, loan originators, investment banks, or loan servicers. What does that mean for you? A smoother, low-fee investment experience.
Leveraging Real-Time Data: In the age of digital information, real-time data is invaluable. That's why we're harnessing real-time data to keep our investors in the loop. You get all the insights you need to understand your investments better.
Clear-Cut Loan Agreements: We believe in transparency. We're committed to providing clear-cut loan agreements so that investors know exactly what they're signing up for.
Benchmark Interest Rates: We're all about alignment with the market. That's why we use the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as our benchmark. This is the interest that banks charge each other for short-term, overnight loans. By sticking to the SOFR, we're ensuring our interest rates are transparent and accurate. Plus, we're factoring in any additional risk that mortgages might carry.

A new rate

So here's the deal. In line with our commitment to transparency and market evolution, Lend is adjusting its mortgage rate. Instead of SOFR + 2%, Lend is now offering SOFR+3.5%. This new interest rate covers the entire mortgage cost, free of hidden fees and showcasing the genuine cost of capital.

We've taken a good look around, and in today's world, SOFR + 3.5% makes a lot more sense. It's in line with what it costs to get capital these days and it's on par with what other lenders for rental real estate properties are asking for.

We're making this change now, and we're planning for it to stick around for a good while. Our eyes are always on the market in order to ensure that our rates stay competitive for everyone involved – our Lend and property investors

In short, we're committed to keeping our rates in the game. It's all about being flexible and navigating a dynamic market.

Investments in Shares are speculative and involve substantial risks to consider before investing, outlined in the respective offering materials and including, but not limited to, illiquidity, lack of diversification, and complete loss of capital. An investment in Shares constitutes only an investment in a particular offering and not in Landa Holdings, Landa App, or any of the underlying asset(s).

No money or other consideration will be solicited (and if sent, will not be accepted), and no offer to buy Shares of a particular offering can be accepted, and no part of the purchase price can be received until an offering statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") relating to those Shares has been qualified by the SEC.

All Shares will be issued in electronic form only and will not be listed or quoted on any securities exchange. After a Series’ offering has concluded, we expect that the Public Private Execution Network Alternative Trading System, or PPEX ATS (the “Secondary Trading Platform”), which is registered with the SEC and operated by North Capital Private Securities Corporation (“North Capital”), will be the only venue available for the resale of Shares. Resales of Shares will be conducted by Dalmore, as a broker-dealer member of the Secondary Trading Platform; provided, however, any such resale of Shares will be subject to federal and state securities laws and the restrictions in the Series’ Operating Agreement, and there can be no assurance that an active market for any Shares will develop on the Secondary Trading Platform, that the Secondary Trading Platform will be available to allow resales of Shares to residents of all states, or that the Secondary Trading Platform will be available at all. For these reasons, investors must be prepared to hold their Shares indefinitely.
