Davlyn's Director of Acquisitions, Aaron Pacillio stated, “We really appreciate the assistance we had from both the sales and mortgage brokerage community in facilitating these transactions. It's relationships like these that allow us to find the best deals in the marketplace for our investors.”

Jon Williams, CEO of Davlyn Investments offered “Although we were relatively slow on the acquisition side, we had a significant number of loans that matured in 2012. Due to these maturities, we were faced with the option of either selling or refinancing a significant number of assets. Due to our belief that President Obama would get re-elected and our further belief that some form of “carried interest” legislation would pass, we elected to mitigate the potential hit to us on the taxation front and sell a number of our assets and refinance the other loans that were maturing.” Mr. Williams went on to state that, “This sales and refinance activity has left us in a very healthy position going forward and we look forward to redeploying these funds in 2013.”

Davlyn Investments, Inc. is a San Diego-based owner/operator of apartment communities, condominium
