Distressed Commercial Real Estate assists experienced commercial real estate examiners with evaluating distressed commercial real estate. The goal is to equip examiners with the knowledge needed to assess the financial institution’s method for reviewing appraisals, management’s approach to grading, and loan workout practices. Classroom methods include lectures, work group sessions, and individual problem-solving. Work groups will examine case study scenarios and provide their solutions or suggestions for resolution based upon the given circumstances.
