Finding the right real estate investment involves a lot more than just identifying the right location and return on investment. There are many details that go into a successful and profitable investment. If you are not careful, you could find yourself dealing with significant legal and financial troubles from an ill-considered commercial real estate transaction. For example, call us to discuss how a standard non-recourse loan could actually be a fully guaranteed loan if the non-recourse guaranty (a/k/a the “bad-boy carveout”) is not properly drafted.
