This CLE webinar will discuss debt financing options available to real estate investment funds, the common structures and terms for these fund financing products, and the advantages and disadvantages of each. The panel will focus on the increasing popularity of net asset value (NAV) financing and the relationship of fund finance to mortgage debt at the property level.

Description

The current distressed commercial real estate market presents unique opportunities for private real estate investment funds. For real estate funds, third-party debt financing can provide capital to take advantage of these investment opportunities, meet financing needs, and achieve other objectives.

Fund financing products can take on several forms, including: traditional subscription credit facilities secured by the capital commitments of a fund's investors; management fee lines of credit secured by the fees the fund manager receives for managing the fund's investments; partner loan programs offered to fund investors or the general partner; NAV credit facilities secured by the fund's investment portfolio; or hybrid credit facilities combining certain aspects of subscription and NAV credit facilities.

Each fund financing product has unique structuring attributes and certain facilities may be more appropriate depending on where the fund is in its lifecycle and the desired use of the financing proceeds. NAV credit facilities have become increasingly popular due to liquidity challenges and the demand for capital solutions. Thus, it is important for counsel and market participants to gain a deep understanding of NAV facilities, including their structures, applications, and potential risks.

Listen as our authoritative panel discusses the various financing alternatives available to real estate investment funds and provides strategies for using each form of financing under current market conditions.
