Travis Apartments. Hunt Mortgage Partners provided a $1.24 million loan to refinance Travis Apartments, a six-unit multifamily walk-up property located at 325 17th Avenue East.

The borrowers on these properties are brothers Ted and Thomas Lee. The transactions are all 5 + 1 Hybrid ARMs amortized over 30 years.
"The Lee brothers are both new clients for Hunt Mortgage Group and Freddie Mac,” noted Jeffrey J. Ballaine, Vice President at Hunt Mortgage Group. “But they are both seasoned local commercial real estate and multifamily investors.”
These deals were brought to Hunt Mortgage Group by Robert Regan, owner of Catalyst Commercial Partners who also serves as professional manager of all three buildings.
Both Alta Casa and Travis Apartments are in the Capitol Hill submarket, approximately three miles east of the Seattle central business district. Castlereach is located in Seattle.
“These properties are in desirable neighborhoods, near a wide variety of commercial uses and transportation services,” added Ballaine. “Local vacancy rates have been consistently strong over the previous five years. We were pleased to deliver these loans to solid local sponsors.”
