The Lenders Handbook for Troubled Hotels: Essentials and Advanced Techniques
A free, practical guide for lenders, owners and investors
May 12, 2010 – LOS ANGELES – The Global Hospitality Group® of Jeffer Mangels Butler & Marmaro LLP (JMBM) is pleased to announce the publication of a new hospitality industry resource: The Lenders Handbook for Troubled Hotels: Essentials and Advanced Techniques – A Practical Guide. The book — which JMBM is currently making available at no charge — is written by veteran hotel lawyer Jim Butler and members of JMBM’s Global Hospitality Group®.
First released to 300 attendees at the 20th annual Meet the Money® conference on May 4, 2010, the 98-page book gives lenders, owners and investors the information they need to make strategic decisions in the high stakes world of troubled hotel loans. Butler and his co-authors provide an insightful perspective that allows all players to see how they can maximize value while making tough decisions.
Now available for free download on the Hotel Law Blog, The Lenders Handbook for Troubled Hotels is packed with useful information that includes:
- Why hotels are so different than other troubled assets;
- What alternative strategies are available for dealing with troubled hotels;
- Analytical tools that will help lenders, owners and investors identify, evaluate and select from a full range of options;
- How the hotel operating business is critical to the value of the asset and its recovery;
- Why failure to recognize certain crucial decision points can give away more than half the value of a hotel;
- The importance of the Hotel Franchise and Management Agreement — how keeping or getting rid of a brand or operator can be one of the biggest factors in hotel asset value.
The book also includes two innovative, proprietary approaches that hotel lawyers in JMBM’s Global Hospitality Group® have developed to enhance value in troubled hotels:
- The SAVE® program (Strategies and Approaches for Value Enhancement)
- The Enhanced Note Sale™
