Solution

The Borrower was well into the process of negotiating an A/B Note Modification when the loan was acquired by the Fair Market Value Purchase Option (“FMVPO”)  Holder. Once that transaction had been completed, 1st Service Solutions was able to identify the FMVPO Holder and contact them about structuring a deal with the Borrower. A deal was structured wherein the Borrower would acquire the property from the FMVPO Holder at a price and in a manner such that it provided a better resolution for the owner than a traditional AB structure modification.  The deal  allowed the owner to retain the property and to stabilize the property. 1st Service Solutions negotiated and facilitated the transaction on behalf of all parties.
