MKA Capital Group Advisors, LLC

Asset Origination

MKA has historically made loans to small and mid-sized real estate developers in the Western United States. Because of its 20+ years of lending experience and close ties to the region's real estate developers, MKA has historically received a steady stream of new lending opportunities. The firm has distinguished itself among lenders with its rapid response time in underwriting, structuring, and closing loans.

In the past, MKA employed a dedicated outbound calling team to generate additional lending opportunities with real estate developers, and also periodically paid commissions to outside brokers for quality referrals. However, in today's distressed real estate market, MKA has seen that the most compelling source of investment opportunities is from the FDIC and senior lenders holding impaired 1st lien loan portfolios. Notably, MKA has close relationships with over 50 of the most active lenders in the Western U.S., and is receiving a consistent flow of opportunities to purchase loans at discounts. In addition, MKA has the opportunity to purchase numerous 1st lien loans from lenders positioned in the capital structure above an existing MKA junior loan.

MKA has developed a reputation for creatively structuring loans to fit a particular situation or project. With in-house real estate development and construction capabilities and numerous project managers in each region, MKA believes it has an advantage in its ability to take on relatively more complex projects that require a greater degree of oversight than many of its competitors.
