“Great experience! Mercy Community Capital worked thoughtfully with us as the developer/borrower to negotiate a loan structure and term sheet that meets the pre-development needs of this 4% LIHTC project. The loan document negotiation process was streamlined, and the closing process was efficient. Thanks to all at Mercy for your efforts and support of this project – we look forward to many more deals with you!”
