Commercial lenders and the Year 2000 challenge

Article Abstract:

The millennium bug can be potentially damaging to commercial real estate lenders. This is because building systems that are computerized or programmable electronic devices could fail on Jan 1, 2000. The failure may jeopardize the collateral for a loan because rental revenue may be threatened, repairs will have to be made and there may be exposure to litigation. Thus, commercial lenders are advised to take steps to avoid Y2K problems by requiring compliance reports.

Has commercial lending really changed?

Article Abstract:

Recent trends in commercial real estate lending show positive signs over the failures of underwriting in the early 1980s. Events such as overbuilding caused by the tax shelter boom, which ultimately led to the financial crisis of the industry, serve as lessons for commercial lenders to remember. A balance must be maintained in the commercial real estate environment by providing capital only for viable projects that will benefit all the players concerned.
