Commercial Loan Default - #264

In this episode, we break down a five-year saga involving a major commercial loan default — a rollercoaster story filled with challenges, lessons, and (finally) a successful exit.

Back in March 2020, a borrower with a massive portfolio of commercial real estate reached out to us for liquidity. What followed was a series of 10 loans backed by 15 properties, a mix of strong assets and serious organizational chaos. From high cash flow and minimal leverage to bounced ACHs and missed payments, this story has it all.

We’ll walk you through:

• How we sourced this deal and why it looked “too good to be true” at first

• Why underwriting at a low LTV saved the day

• The challenges of working with a disorganized next-gen ownership group

• How default and foreclosure almost happened (but didn’t)

• The ultimate refi and payoffs that wrapped it all up — five years later

Whether you’re a lender, investor, or just love real estate war stories, this episode gives an inside look at how commercial loan deals can go sideways — and still end well.
