- Over a one year period, OSC had negotiated their current real estate loan with their incumbent bank. They had brought in CMAC with the purpose to review the terms of the deal and give an analysis. CMAC was able to determine that the bank was presenting them with “out of market pricing,” compared to similar borrowers within other markets. Once they had engaged us, we were able to present to the local bankers from OS the recent proposals from its own bank, but with more competitive terms and pricing. This allowed the local banker to request similar pricing from his credit officer. Once this was granted and the modification was complete, CMAC doubled the savings that had already been created. The partners saved hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Springhill Hospital Secures $20.8 MM
Springhill Hospital Secures $20.8 MM + Non-Recourse Refinance in Preemptory Move
MOBILE, AL: A few months ago, the executives at Springhill Hospital met to decide whether to sit tight with what was generally considered a favorable interest rate for the remainder of their financing or move immediately to explore the market with the objective of extending the term without increasing the loan spread. One of the primary considerations was the long-standing relationship that Springhill had with its current bank and the concern over upsetting that relationship by shopping the financing.
Eventually, the decision was made to move forward with CMAC and the result exceeded expectations on more than one front. The short remaining term was replaced with a 10 year rate that was nearly a full percentage point less than the existing loan. Additionally, the financing was secured without recourse to the principals.
This transaction came on the heels of the refinancing of a very similar privately owned Arkansas hospital where CMAC reduced a rate (renegotiated only 6 months earlier) to produce a $2MM interest expense savings.
CMAC’s Director of Finance, Elizabeth Allport, stated that both of these hospitals were exceptionally well run and that she was able obtain the exceptionally favorable pricing in both cases by leveraging the negotiated rates from other recent CMAC deals in other areas of the country.

Banks Holding Back “Best” Rates
3.95% Like Putting Lipstick on a Pig
By Greg Warren, CMAC Managing Partner
Banks today are on the offensive. Borrowers are aware that rates have dropped substantially and are, or will soon be, seeking lower rates. In an effort to retain or improve profits, banks have become proactive. They are either approaching or responding to their borrowers with “substantial” rate reductions. The problem is defining “substantial”.
Last September, a surgical hospital in Arkansas renegotiated a “substantial” rate reduction for its real estate loan. The hospital’s administrative team had been timely in their negotiations and saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in interest expense over the remaining term. Four months later, however, CMAC negotiated a further reduction that nearly tripled the initial improvement, creating an additional savings of roughly $2 million. How did this happen?
In truth, banks are making greater profits than they have in decades. And they are depending upon the borrower’s lack of information and skewed perception of interest rates to do so.
The phrase “everything is relative” has never been truer. To those physician groups who own commercial real estate and have been paying interest rates of between 6% and 8%, a 4% rate is a vast improvement. But in today’s economy, a rate of 4% may well be leaving considerable money on the table.
How much lower?
In a sampling of 14 CMAC loans financed in 2012 where a benchmark had been established prior to CMAC’s engagement, the average difference in rates was 71 basis points, or 0.71%. If considering a $10MM loan, this difference would amount to a savings of over $500,000 in 10 years, a substantial difference.
There is only one way to be reasonably certain that you, as a borrower, are not making an excess contribution to fund the bank’s new courtyard fountain. You must completely test the market over a wide geographic footprint and then have a competent financial analyst compare all aspects of the various proposals (rate, fees, term, amortization, loan-to-value, debt service, etc). Without that ability, you are operating within a virtual vacuum and are more likely to accept a “substantial” reduction that is not nearly as substantial as it might appear.
