Omega Commercial Finance Corporation's Lending Company Begins the Origination of Quality Loans for the Launch of Omega Asset Backed Fund I, LP


MIAMI, FL--(Marketwired - Jun 13, 2013) - Omega Commercial Finance Corporation (OTCQB: OCFN) as previously announced will be launching its first commercial real estate pooled fund Omega Asset Backed Fund, I LP. The estimated launch date is by July of 2013 subsequent to an independent review by a top third-party analyst firm, which is currently preparing a comprehensive independent analysis report of Omega's Fund. The intent is to have the marketing of this Fund led by OCFN's financial arm, VFG Securities. OCFN's lending company Omega Capital Street and Omega CRE Group led by VP of Lending, Holly Leide, is currently originating $12 Million in financing requests for the Fund. The process should time up well with the Fund's July estimated launch date. 

This initial group of $12 Million in loans being originated meet the main two underwriting characteristics of the Fund, which are loans having low leverage with high debt service coverage. Such loans include ATMOS Energy Building that is occupied with a single Credit Tenant tied to a long-term lease and Allen Properties that encompasses four mortgages located throughout Orlando, Florida with low LTVs, an Average Weighted DSCR of 1.80x, and secured by retail properties that are all 100% occupied. The final financing requests within this initial group of loan originations are two prime residential land refinancing loans. These residential master planned communities are located in Franklin, Tennessee a wealthy suburb of Nashville and led by proven developers that are seeing the positive effects of the housing recovery.

The Omega Asset Backed Fund's core investment objective is to achieve advantageous and consistent rates of return by providing short and medium term loans to borrowers mainly consisting of commercial real estate property owners. This niche is created when traditional financing is unavailable for these property owner's acquisitions, refinancing, construction, development, rehabilitation, and master planned subdivisions. Primarily, the Fund will seek to finance core assets, including office buildings, multi-family units, and shopping centers. The loans will consist of senior-debt loans, mezzanine or subordinated loans, preferred equity, and other equity participation financing structures.
