NexPoint Residential Trust secured fresh financing for 17 apartment complexes throughout the Sun Belt and is on the cusp of refinancing 17 others.

All but one of the loans have a seven-year term and a floating interest rate starting at 6.25 percent. The mortgage for Residences at West Place, at 753 Sherwood Terrace Drive in Orlando, has a fixed rate of 4.24 percent and lasts 12 years. 

The properties in the Metroplex are: 

  • Cutter’s Point Apartment Homes, at 1111 Abrams Road in Richardson
