Medalist Diversified REIT, a Virginia-based real estate investment trust, increased its line of credit to $4 million, previously set at $1.5 million. According to a related 8-K filing, Wells Fargo served as the facility’s lender.

The expanded credit facility carries an interest rate of SOFR + 3.1%, offering competitive financing terms that allow the company to continue its focus on high-quality acquisitions and operational efficiency within its portfolio.

“We are pleased to deepen our relationship with Wells Fargo, a long-time financial partner, and appreciate their continued support as we execute our strategic objectives,” Brent Winn, chief financial officer of Medalist, said. “The expanded line of credit provides us with the additional liquidity needed to seize new opportunities in strategic high-growth real estate markets. We remain committed to delivering value to our shareholders through prudent financial management and disciplined growth.”

This increase in the company’s credit facility aligns with Medalist’s strategy to position itself for long-term success while capitalizing on market opportunities across its target region.
