Commercial Loan Workout Bank Viability

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) had shut down nine failed lenders under the multi-state holding company, FBOP Corp. Fortunately for the lenders’ customers, the FDIC will cover the bank deposits up to $250,000. It is believed that the FBOP lenders have been hurt by their focus on Commercial Real Estate Mortgages.

While the media had been focusing on the residential housing crisis, a similar problem had been brewing silently in Commercial Real Estate Mortgages. As a result of the economic slow down, owners of Commercial properties have been experiencing drastic declines in their income. For example, apartments, office buildings, warehouses and strip malls, have seen record high vacancy rates and tenants demanding lower rent. This has caused some of these borrowers to default on their Mortgages. This in turn has affected the viability of lenders holding these kinds of Mortgages in their credit portfolios.

Meanwhile, financial experts believe that the situation can only worsen as many of these Mortgages approach the end of their terms and large balloon payments become due. The end result could be frightening as more lenders succumb to the loss of income from many of these Mortgages.

As a way to combat this crisis, bank regulators have been trying to convince lenders to work out Commercial Mortgage Workout deals with borrowers. The regulators know that foreclosure and repossession of the properties is not the answer. The lenders will just be holding on to properties that they could not sell because of the state of the Commercial Real Estate industry.
