Recorded Price vs. Collateral Explanation
Title-Directed Disbursement & Escrow Control
Seller Payoff Clarity
Non-Recourse, No Personal Guarantees
Q: Why is the lender position set at 24%, and how is my capital protected? A (Short): The 24% position is collateral-first and protected by asset value, reserves, and title/escrow control—not borrower credit. (See Legal Sheet §2, §6) A (Committee-Ready): Lender capital is secured by recorded collateral, Day-1 NOI, and reserves, all managed under title/escrow control. The 24% position is intentionally conservative, ensuring lenders underwrite the asset, not individuals. (Lender Risk-Reduction Legal Sheet §2, §6)
Q: Why is the recorded price lower than FMV, and does it affect my collateral? A (Short): Recorded price (45%) is a risk-management tool; lender collateral is based on real asset value, not public record. (See Legal Sheet §1, §2) A (Committee-Ready): The recorded price strategy (UCC §2-305, IRS Pub 551) lowers tax/liability exposure but does not affect lender security or internal valuation. Lenders may underwrite on any basis deemed appropriate. (Lender Risk-Reduction Legal Sheet §1–2)
Q: Who controls the funds and how are disbursements managed? A (Short): All funds are controlled by the title/escrow company; cash-in equals cash-out. No off-record or off-escrow transfers. (See Legal Sheet §3–4) A (Committee-Ready): Title/escrow handles all lender funds, seller payoff, fees, and taxes per contract and state law. No funds move outside escrow, ensuring compliance and security for all parties. (Lender Risk-Reduction Legal Sheet §3–4)
Q: How is the seller paid and does the recorded price impact proceeds? A (Short): Seller payoff is contractually set and paid via escrow, regardless of recorded price. (See Legal Sheet §3) A (Committee-Ready): Seller proceeds are determined by the executed contract and paid exclusively through escrow. Recorded consideration never affects seller payoff or lender collateral. (Lender Risk-Reduction Legal Sheet §3)
Q: Why are there no personal guarantees or outside cash required? A (Short): The structure is non-recourse and asset-based, with reserves and NOI coverage replacing guarantees. (See Legal Sheet §6) A (Committee-Ready): No personal cash or credit is required from principals. Lender risk is managed through asset-backed underwriting, reserves, and title/escrow controls—not personal guarantees. (Lender Risk-Reduction Legal Sheet §6)
