The main question a bank or lender will need to answer before renegotiating a loan is: Will the cost of foreclosure be greater than the cost of a loan modification? The lender's decision will be based on their best interests. Your ability to successfully negotiate a plan will depend on many factors. Some of these factors include:
- Amount Of Equity In The Property
- Past Payment Experience
- Costs Of Foreclosure
- Borrower's Financial Position
- Borrower's Willingness To Retain Property
- Local Market Conditions
In addition to these factors, many small commercial loan modification plans will depend on the financial situation of the borrower's business. The lender must feel confident that the commercial property owner will produce enough profit to service the new payment successfully. Regardless of whether the property in question is a single family rental unit, multi-family apartment building, or retail property, your lender will request a business plan. The plan should include realistic numbers and a convincing explanation as to why the restructured plan will work.Be prepared to present a realistic proposal and back it with solid numbers. Consider seeking the services of an accountant, attorney, or experienced loan modification consultant. A negative result could mean the loss of a property and a business.
Many banks have created special legal departments to deal with the protection of their interests. That is why it is so important that you or your company seek the assistance of an outside modification agency like UpsideDownCommercial.com to represent you.

| What is a Short Sale? |
TOP |
| As the name might imply, short sales, as an alternative to foreclosure, can permit commercial borrowers with proven hardships to sell property to a third party for an amount less than the balance of the existing loan. Our staff of professionals have extensive experience and a high understanding of short sales and what they can mean for our clients. If a short sale appears to be the best alternative to foreclosure for a client, we will work hard to negotiate the best possible terms. In a short sale, the borrower must prove financial hardship to the lender. If this is done successfully, the lender will give the borrower permission to proceed with the short sale. The lender, in effect, agrees to accept less than the amount owed on the loan, and releases the borrower from the note rather than allowing the property to go into foreclosure. However, many times the commercial property owner is responsible for the difference of money that is discounted on the short sale and is forced to pick up the difference as additional income on their tax return. This could end up costing the property owner to show unwanted gains on his or her tax returns and may put that person in a higher tax bracket. Our Firm can advise you on how to avoid this costly mistake.
Foreclosures can be devastating to credit ratings and that can create major issues for years. Short sales are often the last-ditch effort to prevent foreclosure, andwhile they probably won't keep your credit rating at its previous level, they can be far less devastating than foreclosure. With proper mortgage mediation and professional guidance, a short sale can set you on the road to financial recovery. Many lenders prefer short sales, since their losses on loans will be far less than they could be in foreclosure proceedings. Most are willing to consider the most cost-effective way out of any financial crisis. Short sales are a less expensive and much faster way to relieve some of the consequences of unexpected financial hardships.
