STOP: Don't Negotiate Your Real Estate Workout Alone

If you are a Sponsor, Co-GP, or Guarantor facing negative cash flow, Notices of Default, or the threat of foreclosure—the next move you make is the most critical.

In this market, we are seeing a dangerous trend: Borrowers attempting to "talk it out" with lenders, only to inadvertently agree to terms that strip away their future legal defenses and make relief impossible.

⚠️ The Critical Warning
Before you pick up the phone or hit "send" on an investor update:
Don't speak to the lender without a strategy.
Don't send unauthorized, unvetted updates to your LP base.
DO retain counsel with specific workout and distressed asset experience.

🛡️ The 5-Point Defense Plan
We don't just "talk" to lenders; we build a firewall around your interests:
Comprehensive Audit: Finding the leverage points in your original loan docs.
Communication Firewall: We take over lender correspondence and vet all investor comms to minimize litigation risk.
Strategic Operations: Advising on which expenses to prioritize to maintain asset stability.
Document Defense: Expert review of modifications, deeds, and notices.
The "Ask" Formulation: Crafting 12–18 month proformas, BOVs, and disposition strategies that lenders actually respect.

📍 Pathways to Resolution
Every asset is unique, but our goal is always to protect the human behind the guarantee. Whether it’s a Loan Modification, Forbearance, Strategic Asset Sale, or a Negotiated Deed in Lieu, we take control of the narrative so the lender doesn't.

💼 Professional Engagement
Distressed resolutions require intense, condensed work. We provide a Flat Rate Engagement ($15,000 - $25,000) to navigate the complexities between you, your lender, and your investors.
