FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Salt Lake City, Utah, May 9, 2013 – Security National Financial Corporation (NASDAQ Symbol “SNFCA”) announced today the purchase of a $3.8 million portfolio of performing loans secured by multi-family and mixed-use properties located in Southern California. The properties securing the loan portfolio consist of three multi-family properties in Beverly Hills and Englewood, California, as well as two mixed-use and a commercial property in Lawndale and San Diego, California.
Due to the low loan-to-value and long standing performance of these loans, the Company believes these to be conservative, low risk investments yielding a strong rate of return, which aligns with the Company’s long term investment objectives. With favorable growth in Southern California retail and housing markets, these loans give the Company a greater presence in economically viable and established neighborhoods in Southern California.
Garrett Sill, Acting Chief Financial Officer of SNFC, noted: “After thorough site visits and due diligence, we found this portfolio to be a great addition to our existing mortgage portfolio. The low loan-to-values and strong payment histories combined with an above market yield made this an attractive purchase for the Company.”
