1. The loan or mortgage must be secured by a commercial property, which is basically a property which does not consist of 1-4 residential units.

2. There should be a default or the potential for an imminent default.  The default could arise from two sets of circumstances, either a debt service default or a balloon payment default.

In a debt service default the borrower no longer has the cash flow to continue to service the debt during the life of the loan.  Commercial loans are usually for a period of 7 years or less.

A ballon payment default occurs at the end the loan when a large lump sum payment is due. The ballon payment.

Notes from a conversation with the owner of a commerical bank about commercial loan modifications and commercial short sales.
The owner thought that commercial loan modifications were going to difficult to achieve because of banks are constrained by their lending criteria.
(This meant commercial banks will have difficulty negotiating and approving commercial loan modifications because the value of
The property value is lower as well as the rents and revenues)
He therefore suggested one way to get a commercial loan modification accepted was to offer the lender a sweetner.
That sweetener –  participation in the future increase value of the property.
Our suggestions for Upside down commercial real estate owners.
1. Create a loan workout strategy in which analyze potential outcomes and risks.
Compare the benefits and detriments of a commercial loan modification with commercial short sale.
One note about commercial short sales you should consider… in a commercial short sale you may be able to sale the party to an            insider.
2.  Another strategy some owners are starting to consider is to set up a short payoff strategy in which you source         short term                 financing through a short term lending party such as a hedge fund.  Once you secure the financing you or your group offer the                 bank a cash settlement or short payoff for your current loan.
We would define this techinique as a commercial short payoff coupled with bridge financing which could eventually lead
to a conventional  with a much lower principle amount.  You may not be able to jump into a new conventional loan
right away because your payment history may need new “seasoning”.
One key to this type of workout is you have to be dealing with the source of the financing not a loan broker who is going to shop your deal.  We will discuss more about sourcing bridge financing in the future.
A former law partner of our has set up a hedge fund which has the platform to source these loans.  We are currently lining up others.
We will discuss the short payoff strategy with bridge financing in future posts.

For the purposes of this blog and our practice we define a commercial loan as a loan or note secured by income producing property.

Some of the factors which go into the planning of a successful commercial short sale or loan workout:

1.  Who is on Title?

2. Who is own the Loans?

3. Which Assets are at Risk?

4. What to do if the lender opts for a Judicial Foreclosure?

5. What to do if the lender opts for a non judicial foreclosure?

6. What if the lender opts for both?

7. Is there a personal guarantor?  What is his or her exposure?

8. Should you consider bankruppcy, a loan modification, bridge loan, refinance or walk away?
