In this special episode of The TreppWire Podcast, we’re joined again by Shlomo Chopp, Managing Partner of Case Equity Partners, to discuss commercial mortgage-backed security (CMBS) loan workouts and distressed property situations. Shlomo offers a deep dive into his firm’s strategic approach to navigating complex loan restructurings and asset management. He breaks down the dynamics between small and large borrowers, outlines why CMBS loans often present more flexible workout options than traditional bank financing, and stresses the value of early engagement and negotiation. We also explore current market trends in distressed deals and the challenges in today’s appraisal process. Tune in now.
