[00:00 - 12:04] Navigating Real Estate Distress

• Julie talks about how she got started in real estate and how she ended up helping others to learn more about lending
• Today’s expense and lending side of deals are very challenging
• Some lenders are refusing to release construction draws, creating a cash flow problem
• A lot of people are backing off on their cap ex budget and choosing to conserve cash

 

[12:05 - 19:33] Understanding Lender Behavior in the Current Market

• Lenders are more open to restructuring loans rather than taking back assets.
• Creative financing options may be available such as extending loans or selling at loan amount
• Some operators are maybe more concerned about themselves than their investors; which is why it’s important to find an operator with experience and a good track record

 

[19:34 - 30:24] Thinking Long Term is Key

• We are currently in a lender’s market and they have had to change the rules due to the market conditions today
• If the problem in a deal is just a function of debt, it may be worth putting money into restructuring or refinancing
• If you have time and money, sit tight and get ready for a long-term hold
• If you are in distress, be proactive and check all of your options now before it’s too late 

 

[30:25 - 37:53] Building Meaningful Connections

• Julie describes herself as a connector, helping people find the right resources and professionals in the real estate industry
• She reflects on parenting her four kids and on her passion for supporting the elderly
