MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE | NOTE 5. MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE Mortgages Payable At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the mortgages payable consisted of various loans, all of which were secured by first mortgages on properties referred to in Note 2. At December 31, 2022, the interest rates on these loans ranged from 2.97% to 4.95%, payable in monthly installments aggregating approximately $1,519,000, including principal, to various dates through 2035. The majority of the mortgages are subject to prepayment penalties. At December 31, 2022, the weighted average interest rate on the above mortgages was 3.69%. The effective rate of 3.80% includes the amortization expense of deferred financing costs. See Note 12 for fair value information. The Partnership’s mortgage debt and the mortgage debt of its unconsolidated joint ventures generally is non-recourse except for customary exceptions pertaining to misuse of funds and material misrepresentations.

The Partnership has pledged tenant leases as additional collateral for certain of these loans. Approximate annual maturities at December 31, 2022 are as follows: ​

​ On October 14, 2022, the Partnership entered into a loan agreement with Brookline Bank refinancing its loan on 659-665 Worcester Road, Framingham, MA. The agreement pays down the loan on the existing debt of $5,954,546.14, extends the maturity until October 14, 2032, at a variable interest rate of SOFR rate, plus 1.7% interest only for 2 years and amortizing using a thirty-year schedule for the balance of the term. At closing, the Partnership entered into an interest rate swap contract with Brookline Bank with a notional amount equivalent to the underlying loan principal amortization, resulting in a fixed rate of 4.60% through the expiration of the interest rate swap contract. The agreement also allows for an earn out of up to an additional $1,495,453.86 once the property performance reaches a 1.35x debt service coverage ratio and the loan to value equates to at most 65%. ​ On March 31, 2020, Nera Brookside Associates, LLC (“Brookside Apartments”), entered into a Mortgage Note with KeyBank National Associates (KeyBank) in the principal amount of $6,175,000. Interest only payments on the Note are payable on a monthly basis at a fixed interest rate of 3.53% per annum, and the principal amount of the Note is due and payable on April 1, 2035. The Note is secured by a mortgage on the Brookside apartment complex located at 5-12 Totman Drive, Woburn, Massachusetts pursuant to a Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and Rents and Security Agreement dated March 31, 2020. The Note is guaranteed by the Partnership pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement dated March 31, 2020. Brookside Apartments used the proceeds of the loan to pay off an outstanding loan of approximately $2,390,000, with the remaining portion of the proceeds added to cash reserves. In connection with this refinancing, there were closing costs of approximately $136,000. Line of Credit On July 31, 2014, the Partnership entered into an agreement for a $25,000,000 revolving line of credit. The term of the line was for three years with a floating interest rate equal to a base rate of the greater of (a) the Prime Rate (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus one-half of one percent per annum, or (c) the LIBOR Rate for a period of one month plus 1% per annum, plus the applicable margin of 2.5%. The agreement originally expired on July 31, 2017, and was extended until October 31, 2020. The costs associated with the line of credit extension were approximately $128,000. Prior to the line’s expiration in 2020, the Partnership exercised its option for a one-year extension until October 31, 2021. The Partnership paid an extension fee of approximately $37,500 in association with the extension. On October 29, 2021, the Partnership closed on the modification of its existing line of credit. The agreement extends the credit line for three years until October 29, 2024. The commitment amount is for $25 million but is restricted to $17 million during the modification period. The modification period covers the current period and phased out on December 31, 2022. During this period, the loan covenants were modified from a minimum consolidated debt service ratio of 1.60 to a ratio of 1.35 until September 30, 2022; from a minimum tangible net worth requirement of $200 million to a net worth of $175 million until September 30, 2022; from a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 65% to a ratio of 70% until September 30, 2022 and from a minimum debt yield of 9.5% to a yield of 8.5% until September 30, 2022 and a yield of 9.0% until December 31, 2022. Once the financial performance of the Partnership meets the original covenant tests for the trailing 12-month period, the commitment amount will return to $25 million. The portfolio’s debt yield fell below the minimum of 9.0% to 8.3%. Consequently, as of December 31, 2022, the Partnership did not comply with the debt yield financial covenant. As such, the Partnership is restricted to draw down any amount from the line of credit until the Partnership meets the required financial covenants. The interest rate for the new term is LIBOR plus 300 basis points. The costs associated with the modification and renewal of the line of credit is approximately $179,000. On December 3, 2021, the Partnership paid off the outstanding balance of $17,000,000 on the Line of Credit. The line of credit may be used for acquisition, refinancing, improvements, working capital and other needs of the Partnership. The line may not be used to pay dividends, make distributions or acquire equity interests of the Partnership. The line of credit is collateralized by varying percentages of the Partnership’s ownership interest in 23 of its subsidiary properties and joint ventures. Pledged interests range from 49% to 100% of the Partnership’s ownership interest in the respective entities. ​ ​ The Partnership paid fees to secure the line of credit. Any unused balance of the line of credit, prior to the extension on October 29, 2021,was subject to a fee ranging from 15 to 20 basis points per annum. The Partnership under the current modification, is no longer subject to this fee.
