Course Overview

Loans Underwritten for a Rate That No Longer Exists

A decade of multifamily loans was underwritten on cheap, short-term, floating-rate debt and bridge financing that assumed rates would stay low and values would keep climbing. Those assumptions have collapsed, and a wave of CMBS loans is now maturing into a market where the borrower cannot refinance and the property no longer covers the debt. Special servicers, lenders, borrowers, and the receivers who step into these assets are already fighting over debt calculation, pre-negotiation agreements, and whether non-recourse carveouts have sprung full recourse against the principals behind Tides, GVA, and Lurin. This program maps the workout and enforcement track from both chairs: debt calculation in and out of bankruptcy, pre-negotiation agreements, forum selection, receivership appointment and sale, springing-recourse and bad-boy guaranty triggers, and the choice among foreclosure, receivership, and bankruptcy. Attendees will be able to read a distressed loan from either side and select the resolution path that recovers the most value.
