- The deal involved ten retail stores purchased from a leading Israeli construction company.
- The investors' original bank unexpectedly reduced a promised loan, jeopardizing the transaction.

A group of investors narrowly avoided losing a significant real estate deal involving ten retail stores spanning thousands of square meters, originally purchased from a leading Israeli construction company. The investors had been negotiating for extensive financing from their bank, expecting 75% of the deal's cost. However, at the final payment stage, the bank unexpectedly reduced the financing to 73% and offered less favorable interest rates, rendering the deal unviable.
This left the investors in a precarious position, needing to secure 32.5 million shekels within just two weeks to avoid the deal's cancellation and the forfeiture of their invested capital and agreed-upon compensation. The construction company issued urgent legal warnings of contract termination.
In a last-ditch effort, the investors turned to the financial experts at Mimondlan, led by Eli Rabinowitz and Matityahu Vagshal. The Mimondlan team worked around the clock, analyzing the financial profile and restructuring the deal's collateral. Leveraging their extensive financial network and expertise, they presented a creative financing plan.
Remarkably, within two weeks, Mimondlan secured the full 32.5 million shekels required. This was achieved through an unprecedented 90% financing rate and a competitive interest rate of Prime + 0.5%. The timely funding allowed the investors to meet their payment obligations, avert legal action, and secure ownership of the ten retail spaces.
