Publications

  • Cocktail Party won’t be on the house

    Boston Herald

    I wrote this opinion piece for the Boston Herald during a time when people were continuing to call the "bottom" of the housing market. It is now October 2010, and I still believe the worst is yet to come for the housing market. Loose monetary policy is a dangerous thing.

  • Understanding Tax Implications Of Troubled Commercial Mortgages

    Commercial Mortgage Insight

    The U.S. tax code, along with the outcomes of numerous court cases, can provide specific guidance on borrowers’ and lenders’ respective options and responsibilities in the event of a loan default.

  • Credit Risk vs. Real Estate Risk: Leveraging Credit Tenant Lenders

    Commercial Mortgage Insight

    Investment grade or equivalently-rated tenant leases can often be financed in a myriad of unique ways, several of which may provide distinct advantages for borrower’s seeking to maximize proceeds.

  • Residential Subprime Market Volatility Indirectly Affecting Commercial Borrowers

    Banker & Tradesman

    The credit markets were particularly volatile in this quarter of 2007, which contributed to a substantial increase in implied volatility on commercial and residential mortgage-backed securities. This volatility was largely a result of general market concerns about the overall quality of debt underwriting standards, and concerns about a culture of loose credit that has been exacerbated by a sustained period of record low interest rates.

  • Understanding Investment Returns in Commercial Real Estate Finance: Grappling with the limitations of the "Internal Rate of Return"

    Commercial Mortgage Insight

    Finance textbooks and bond traders have long cautioned investors about the potential to misuse or misinterpret the IRR. Despite being one of the most common calculations in commercial real estate finance, this metric is routinely misunderstood – often to the detriment of those making important capital budgeting and investment decisions. This article will help to summarize some of the key considerations decision-makers should be aware of when using the IRR to help make those investment decisions.

  • Defeasance of Securitized Commercial Mortgages – A Practical Framework for Considering a Refinance

    Banker & Tradesman

    This was one of the first articles published on the topic, and likely the first article ever to publicize the now widely-recognized issues associated with float sharing the successor borrower entity at the end of the original loan term in a defeasance transaction.
