An FDIC prudent commercial loan workout isn’t a by any means an easy way to improve your development’s revenues. Such a modification to a mortgage will cost considerable amounts in the way of legal fees, transactional fees, and other banking service fees. The costs are considerable, and the option is considered a loss mitigation procedure of last resort. Any commercial mortgage modification will reduce the borrower’s credit rating considerably; however, this negative may be a better option than defaulting on the mortgage altogether. An FDIC prudent commercial loan workout will invariably require a commercial loan forensic audit from the bank in order to appraise the true long term viability of the property. In the case that this viability is deemed minimal, it’s very possible that the bank deny your request for a commercial mortgage renegotiation.
Through the appraisal process and the commercial loan workout, you can expect a thorough investigation of the property’s true inner workings. Tenant agreements will be requested; accounting records will be investigated; the surrounding properties will be considered as a part of appraising your development’s viability. Though the negotiations could take a toll on your confidence about the development, it’s important to keep in mind that the bank does have a vested interest in not seeing you default. Ideally, you’d carry your mortgage to maturity. But the next best thing that the bank could hope for is that you carry a modified mortgage to maturity, and though concessions will be made by the bank—concessions incentivized by the government through its recent initiatives to help prop up the commercial real estate market—they will be temporary, and you can expect your over total debt cost to grow to an amount much larger than your original mortgage.
