Presently, lenders are seeing more and more commercial real estate property go into default as a result of non-payment by clients.; it has become especially difficult on the commercial real estate lenders as purchasers of products and services fail to make important purchases that keep Commercial borrowers and their Commercial Real Estate loans afloat. Commercial Real Estate loans are going 'bad'. That means the clients are unable to pay to keep their doors open. Here are some telltale signs that your lendee has issues that may affect your loans as a lendor.
Some of the composition of a Commercial Real Estate Loan gone bad are: (1) Payments are late whereas they were on time prior with no indications of breach of contract based on payment; (2) Borrower makes various excuses; payments become later and later; (3) Borrower does not deliver financial data required (Rent Rolls, Operating Statements, Interim Financials, etc); (4) Borrower ceases communication; payments are 30 days + in arrears.
There are interim solutions however to the normal default path. The alternative solutions may preserve, extend, and even save both the borrower and the lender from going out of business as a result of no true fault of their own in the tumultuous times.
There are interim solutions however to the normal default path. The alternative solutions may preserve, extend, and even save both the borrower and the lender from going out of business as a result of no true fault of their own in the tumultuous times.A few alternative solutions are: (1) Restructure of debt payment; (2) Sale of the debt; (3) Foreclosure; and finally, (4) The Bank may also wish to perform a Deficiency Suit against any and all Guarantors.
It may be in the Bank's best interest to temporarily or permanently restructure the Note. Perhaps an adjustment of the rate or amortization can assist in the ability to make payments until such time as a sale of the property can be made. Working with the borrower to restructure and potentially setting a term to lower the monthly payments could preserve the loan and salvage before going to the more drastic alternatives which lead to complete loss of any reoccurring monthly revenue, and place the property on a market with few potential buyers. The mindset should be while negotiating with the borrower that- nobody gains with a vacant space !
In all cases, a Title Search should be performed immediately to ascertain if there are any other liens on the property, especially in case of construction. All lien holders will need to be named co-defendants and served if a default foreclosure shall occur. The Bank may also wish to perform a Deficiency Suit against any and all Guarantors.
