Loan Workouts / Rescue Financing
Has the interest rate on your senior loan increased? Is your property experiencing an increase in vacancy and/or operating expenses? Do you need to raise funds for capital expenditures and/or unit turns? Is it not practicable to sell your property in today’s market?
Whatever your situation, work with NetLeaseX Capital and we’ll talk to you about raising rescue financing. Structured as preferred equity and/or debt financing, rescue financing is like an infusion of cash which borrowers can use to gain leverage in workout negotiations with their senior lenders, including, for example, (a) negotiating a lower interest rate, (b) extend maturity date, and/or (c) release or reduction of a borrower’s personal loan guaranty.
In addition, borrowers can use raise rescue financing to:
- Cover additional interest expense to their senior lender due to increase in market interest rates,
- Cover any operating deficits,
- Pay down a portion of their senior loans,
- Fund an interest reserve for their senior loans,
- Fund capital expenditures, unit turnover costs and/or renovations, and/or
- Fund tenant buildouts, and/or pay leasing commissions.
and opportunistically to:
- Buy out existing limited partners;
- Cover unfunded capital calls from limited partners, and
- Pay certain tenants to give back leased spaces.
Understanding and having experience in loan workouts has become a lost art. With decades of loan workout experience and purchasing non-performing and sub-performing loans, finding the right team is critical to help guiding you to your investment and financial objectives during these perilous times.
