Global Mortgage Group (GMG), the premier international asset-based lending platform and parent company of America Mortgages, today announced the closing of an $18 million asset-backed bridge loan secured by a luxury residence on Bird Streets, Los Angeles, California. The transaction was executed in eight days for a prominent Chinese technology founder recently featured in international news for the sale of his company.

Why it matters

This transaction exemplifies why Global Mortgage Group and its U.S. subsidiary America Mortgages have become the premier destination for ultra-high-net-worth individuals—both international investors and domestic U.S. clients—who demand asset-backed financing beyond conventional boundaries. Global Mortgage Group's asset-based lending approach and real estate-backed underwriting enabled the 8-day closing, preserving the purchase agreement and securing the luxury property for the client.

The details

The $18 million facility funded at 70% loan-to-value (LTV) with a 12-month bridge loan term, structured entirely around the real estate asset value and property collateral rather than traditional income verification, employment documentation, or U.S. credit history. The client's pending company sale—while substantial—had not yet closed, rendering conventional mortgage channels unusable within the required timeframe.

  • The transaction closed in 8 days.
