This webinar will provide the lender's perspective on how to tackle a problem loan. We'll discuss how a borrower may anticipate a potential problem and develop a strategy for broaching the topic with the lender along with addressing the question of what information should be provided to the lender and when will they typically 'play ball' on a restructure. Lenders must be convinced that after the loan restructure the borrower will continue to add value by providing leasing, management, construction and/or entitlement expertise, as well as an infusion of capital into the property. For the process to be effective, the borrower needs to approach the lender collaboratively with good, detailed information and a well thought-out strategy the lender's ultimate exit.

In contrast to large corporate end-users, publicly held companies and government agencies, the private investor has been reticent to buy or build green buildings, in part due to the incongruence of financial and LEED criteria. How can this important investor group find a place in the rapidly expanding green building movement? One solution is to adopt financially feasible green building practices which produce a more sustainable building while meeting yield and cash flow requirements of the private sector. Abby Johnson will discuss this approach, its opportunities and drawbacks, as well as the financial impact of implementing specific green practices in a hypothetical building based on her research funded by NAIOP's Research Foundation.
