So much of commercial real estate is financed that it’s impossible to overstate the influence of loans and the documents that evidence loans, including the notes and additional documents that secure the repayment of those loans. These loan documents are so significant that they’ve become an entirely separate asset class that can be bought and sold on the open market. The factors taken into consideration when buying and selling these loans and determining their value has more to do with legal and economic issues than the actual real estate securing these loans.
Listen in as Eric Paulson and Bob Kline join Howard to discuss the current state of the market for the sale and purchase of commercial real estate loans, where the loans can be bought and sold, what to consider when buying and selling these loans, and how to maximize your return.
