Commercial Property News on Manhattan Office Tower

 

New York City – Our NNN Commercial Real Estate news is from Manhattan, New York. We saw a very interesting technique to obtain quality NNN Commercial Real Estate at a below market price. This was a situation where a Commercial Property was obtained by purchasing a commercial mortgage note that is in default and then try for a deed in lieu of foreclosure. This is a simple procedure for most investors and it can help relieve the borrower of a hefty debt which they can not pay. A Deed in lieu of foreclosure is a deed instrument in which a mortgagor (the commercial loan borrower) conveys all interest in a commercial property to the mortgagee (the commercial mortgage lender or the investor who purchased the mortgage) to satisfy a commercial loan that is in default. This commercial property transaction will help to avoid foreclosure proceedings and possibly allow the former owner to save on attorney fees.
