Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things. WHEN IS RECEIVERSHIP A GOOD OPTION?A receiver is a valuable tool for a lender or special servicer when time is of the essence and the value of the collateral is at risk as a result of not acting quickly. Some lenders believe that this potential damage to the collateral needs to be physical and must be able to demonstrate willful misconduct of the borrower. This is not the case in most jurisdictions and simply illustrating that as an income producing property, any dip in revenue, as a result of borrower indifference, can have a material effect on the value. Additionally, the complexity that is inherent in Franchise Law and Liquor License Law often illuminates the need for the court to act quickly in order to preserve both of those elements. An absentee borrower, even for a short period of time, can dramatically damage the income stream of a hotel.
