Fifty Stones Capital Group Closes $19.3M Second Position Loan in Bennington, Omaha for Short-Term Rental Portfolio Acquisition.

Bennington, Omaha — In an extraordinary show of speed, flexibility, and deal-making prowess, Fifty Stones Capital Group has successfully closed a $19,312,000 second-position loan for a seasoned borrower acquiring a prime real estate portfolio tailored for Airbnb and other diversified income strategies. The deal was finalized on October 14, 2024, marking another milestone in the firm's ability to underwrite high-stakes, non-traditional transactions in record time.

The borrower needed the funds to secure a strategic acquisition in Bennington, a rapidly developing suburb of Omaha, with a unique income-producing vision: a multi-unit portfolio built for short-term rentals, event spaces, and experiential travel services.

With a tight two-week deadline, the clock was ticking. The borrower had the opportunity to seize a valuable off-market deal but required second-position capital, a financing layer that most lenders shy away from, especially at such a scale.

Enter Fifty Stones Capital Group. Within days of receiving the broker-submitted loan request through their commercial intake portal, their team sprang into action.

“This wasn’t just a loan. It was a strategy wrapped in urgency,” said Mark Shea, the CEO of Fifty Stones Capital Group. “Our team knew we had to move fast, but also smart, and we did.”

This loan speaks to a growing shift in the way people travel and invest. Short-term rentals are not just a trend, they’re an asset class. Fifty Stones Capital Group is emerging as a leading lender in the space, helping experienced operators scale portfolios quickly with smart capital.

“Bennington isn’t just a suburb, it’s the next stop for curated, short-term travel,” said the firm’s Managing Partner. “This was a great fit for us and a great win for the borrower.”
