Woodland Hills, CA (PRWEB) February 23, 2011
Numerous borrowers looking for to obtain modifications of their commercial true estate loans are not good candidates for such loan modifications, stated Kevin Levine, Executive Vice President of Strategic Asset Solutions (SAS) of Woodland Hills, California. In our initial interviews with prospective consumers, we are able to draw upon our encounter dealing with a wide range of lenders in advising regardless of whether a loan modification is a realistic option, Levine mentioned. Numerous borrowers mistakenly believe that lenders will modify loans in this market place environment for any borrower but that is not right. A lender should be offered with a convincing purpose to enter into the loan modification, and need to perceive that it will benefit from it.

Levine explained that there are a number of essential factors that a lender will think about in figuring out no matter whether or not to modify a commercial true estate loan. The most essential point is whether or not the current worth of the property is far more or significantly less than the quantity owed on the loan, he said. If the house is worth a lot more than the debt, the lender usually is inclined to proceed to collect its loan balance by means of a foreclosure sale. Levine explained that a second vital aspect is no matter whether or not the home is producing a optimistic money flow. If funds are accessible to meet the debt service obligations, the lender typically would not conclude that the loan should be modified, Levine stated.

A third consideration on the element of the lender is regardless of whether there are financially powerful borrowers or guarantors with full recourse liability for repayment of the loan. If that is the case, the lender eventually can recover the loan balance in complete, even even though the sale of the secured house may possibly result in a deficiency, he said.

Levine commented that if these 3 aspects are present: the home value being higher than the loan balance the property evidencing a good money flow and the borrowers or full recourse guarantors becoming financially powerful, there generally is little likelihood of a loan modification getting granted. An exception would be the existence of a substantial quantity of deferred upkeep or the need to have for substantial capital improvements, Levine added. In such a case, the lender might be willing to reduce the interest rate and/or allow for interest-only payments for a brief time, say 18 months, supplied that the amounts saved from the payment reduction are applied to correcting the deferred maintenance or producing the capital improvements. In this scenario, the lender positive aspects from the loan modification through the improvement in the propertys situation.

A perfect candidate for a commercial loan modification is a loan whose balance is greater than the value of the secured true estate the house is generating a negative cash flow and is unable to service the debt and there are no financially sturdy borrowers or guarantors, Levine concluded.
