MIAMI, FL –  Bayport Funding, a direct private bridge lender for real estate developers, has provided a $2MM loan to acquire and renovate two adjacent four-unit properties located in the North Beach area of Miami Beach, Florida. This financing will support the developer’s fix & hold strategy that capitalizes on the supply constrained Miami Beach rental market that continues to be one of the top performing rental markets in the country.

North Beach’s location between Biscayne Point and Stillwater, offers a unique blend of beachfront living and urban energy. The area is also undergoing an exciting renaissance, which includes the creation of a bustling new Town Center and the transformation of the Byron Carlyle Theater into a multi-institution artistic and cultural venue.

“Miami Beach continues to be a vibrant market for real estate investors, particularly in the multifamily sector,” said Marcia Kaufman, CEO, Bayport Funding. “These fix and hold loans provide our borrower with the means to capitalize on strong rental demand by adding two fully renovated multifamily properties to Miami’s growing housing stock. Bayport is proud to support this project and contribute to the ongoing success of the Miami market.”
