%
of the Capital Needed
Solution
Along with Borrower’s Agent, 1st Service Solutions identified a party (Note Buyer) willing to cooperatively purchase the Note from the Special Servicer and subsequently transact a foreclosure exchange whereby the current Borrower was able to retain an equity piece, as well as protect some of their tax positions.
The Note Buyer put up 100% of the needed capital to purchase the Note and attributed value to the current Borrower relative to their cooperation.
