What to expect working with Worldwide Loan Acquisitions
Worldwide Loan Acquisitions Objective:
Provide discrete access for buyers and sellers of commercial mortgage loans and portfolios, regardless of loan performance.
Transaction Process:
Worldwide Commercial Loan Acquisitions transactions are performed on a "negotiated basis" as opposed to a "sealed bid" process. A Letter of Intent (LOI) is normally issued within 48 hours of receipt of all of the required loan information. This allows sellers to limit their review of offers to only those that meet their pricing requirements and obtaining the highest value for their loans. Our Purchasers appreciate this method because it conserves their underwriting, due diligence resources and expenses.
Due Diligence & Closing:
Following acceptance of the LOI, due diligence and settlement are usually completed within 21 business days.
Loan Parameters:
- Individual loan sizes up to $500M and portfolios of any size.
- No geographic limitations.

Tapping Hidden Liquidity from an Existing Loan Portfolio
In today’s market, loan sellers often overlook liquidity within their existing portfolio. Would it surprise you to learn that selling “loans you are not 100% comfortable with” (i.e. maturing, pre-watch list and watch list commercial mortgage loans) can provide higher executions than performing or distressed commercial mortgage loans? Well guess what, today they can and in most cases are!
Worldwide Loan Acquisitions, Inc. is asking loan committees to keep this in mind as they evaluate their commercial mortgage loan portfolios for loans that DO NOT reflect their current internal comfort levels. The sale of these loans will allow you to redeploy liquidity as needed and will strengthen your balance sheet.
This limited window of opportunity for selling your commercial mortgage loans that DO NOT meet your comfort levels is available now.
The bottom line is to ask yourself, would you be willing to sell these loans for the right price today? If so, please contact one of our representatives to discuss.
Here are the simple facts: this newly released liquidity will permit you to re-lend at current market rates, increase spreads and earn new origination fees while strengthening the overall quality of your commercial loan portfolio.
Call us today to tap your hidden liquidity from your existing commercial mortgage loan portfolio!!!

April 2009 - FASB Changes Create a Market for Maturing Seasoned Loans
Worldwide Loan Acquisitions, Inc. has an immediate interest in acquiring your maturing commercial mortgage loans as FASB rule changes have created an opportunity for mature commercial mortgage loans. The ideal maturing commercial mortgage loan(s) have performed as agreed; however interest in extending or re-writing matured loans has diminished.
Worldwide Loan Acquisitions, Inc. specializes in the secondary marketing of performing, matured and distressed (sub-performing and non-performing) commercial mortgage loans that are secured with commercial real estate.
_______________________________________________________________
March 2009 - First Quarter Update:
As the end of the quarter approaches, Worldwide would like to take a moment to update you with new opportunities we have for performing and distressed (sub-performing and non-performing) commercial mortgage loans that you may have in your portfolio. With buyers and sellers returning to the market, continued deterioration in the real estate values and personnel being stretched due to being reallocated to areas of immediate concern, we offer several solutions to assist you with the performing and distressed (sub-performing and non-performing) commercial mortgage loans, including construction and development loans. Worldwide sets itself apart from the constant calls that bombard your offices and burden your resources because our business model is based upon private discrete negotiated sales, long standing relationships, knowledge of the commercial mortgage market and over 30 years of experience in secondary marketing.
Performing Commercial Mortgage Loans
1) For utilizing liquidity, Worldwide has performing commercial mortgage loans available for sale with excellent yields, with or without seasoning, and can identify loans specific to your purchase parameters and present them to you for a “private negotiated purchase.”
2) For achieving liquidity, Worldwide represents clients nationwide with low-cost of funds interested in acquiring performing commercial mortgage loans at realistic executions. A major improvement from what the market has experienced in recent months with deep discount buyers. Worldwide clients, like you, have limited windows of opportunity for acquiring loans, so we need to be kept informed on an ongoing basis of what loans you may have available or considering for sale.
Distressed Commercial Mortgage Loans
Worldwide can assist you in freeing up resources, as distressed loans increase and utilize more of them. Here is how, as soon as a loan is categorized as problematic or of concern, Worldwide can immediately arrange a private sale based upon an acceptable indication of value. A timely, discrete negotiated sale will optimize your return by freeing up capital for loan acquisitions; based upon your purchase parameters and position you for new loan originations. In addition, resources allocated to distressed loan workouts can return to income generating activities. Worldwide distressed buyers are indifferent to loan modifications or owning the real estate and are categorized by geographic interests, property types and loan sizes. As such, please understand that we need to see the loan and understand the entire history behind it in order to price it.
________________________________________________________________
December 2008 Year-End Update:
Yield requirements for performing commercial mortgage loans in the secondary market are at decade highs; making par and premium executions nearly impossible in the short-term, with few exceptions. Credit markets remain constrained and lenders are experiencing increased commercial mortgage loan delinquencies. As a result, the market is anticipating a rise in distressed commercial mortgage loans for 2009.
In the absence of a normal market, we have shifted our direction and focus to assisting sellers at mitigating losses from sub-performing, non-performing and distressed loans. We have created a custom tailored solution that offers aggressive executions for sellers on a regional basis. In addition, we focus on individual commercial mortgage loans as opposed to a pool or portfolio mentality and identify buyers that will maximize a loans execution. With our solution sellers receive the highest executions possible and avoid the pitfalls associated with the mass marketing of distressed loans.
How to get started, first take a few minutes to review your commercial mortgage loan portfolio for loans that you may want to sell in short-order. This process will help you prevent further losses, free up capital, recover loan loss allowances or reserves and assist you in repositioning loan originations toward current market yields. Once the commercial mortgage loans have been identified, provide us with the required loan documentation for performing, sub-performing, non-performing or distressed commercial mortgage loans for an indication of value and / or loan sale. The format for the required loan information can be found in our October 2008 Update below.
________________________________________________________________
November 2008 Market Update:
The government has decided not to buy loans from financial institutions. This situation will challenge financial markets and institutions to re-examine their ability to manage liquidity and the direction of their businesses. As such, the best option available for increasing liquidity and returning to originations remains the secondary market.
Worldwide Loan Acquisitions has several funds available that can provide liquidity at fair market value for performing, sub-performing and non-performing commercial mortgage loans, pool or portfolios. Now is the time and window of opportunity to start a sale that can actually close that will provide liquidity, portfolio restructuring and the ability to originate new loans at current market levels.
Alternatively, you may want to know the fair market value of your loans, even if now may not be the right time for you to sell. If that's the case, please give us a call.
________________________________________________________________
October 2008 Market Update:
Even with credit remaining constrained we have the ability to provide liquidity via whole loan sales of commercial mortgages. We have several funds aggressively acquiring performing and sub-performing commercial mortgage loans nationwide, excluding raw land. Please note seasoned performing loans are experiencing the highest executions. Loan pool pricing options and documentation requirements for indications of value are presented below.
Loan Pool Pricing Options:
- Performing pools.
- Sub-performing pools
- A blended execution for performing and sub-performing pools.
Loan Pool Required Documentation:
Performing Pool - Just complete our spreadsheet (click here to download).
Sub-performing - Complete our spreadsheet (click here to download), provide a brief history / summary on the loan with recent updates, pay history, note, appraisal and rent rolls.
______________________________________________________________________________________
September 2008 Market Update:
Credit continues to tighten while risk based spreads continue to increase for commercial mortgage loans. Cooperation for overnight lending between banks is expected to improve as consolidations and resolution for the existing credit crisis begin to take hold. The need for liquidity still exists; while secondary marketing sales activity for commercial mortgage loans is expanding at historic levels. The best method for managing liquidity in this environment remains whole loan sales.
______________________________________________________________________________________
July 2008 Market Update:
Worldwide Loan Acquisitions, Inc. is very active in the commercial mortgage loan market and would like to take this opportunity to provide an update and have companies take a look at their existing portfolio to see if portfolio augmentation would be beneficial. Whether you are looking for liquidity, adjust geographic or loan type concentrations, enhance your weighted average coupon (WAC) or reduce classified assets, we are available to discuss your options.
Current market for commercial mortgage loans:
- Maintaining liquidity remains critical because:
- Existing portfolio weighted average coupons (WAC's) are narrowing as the costs of funds are increasing (margins are decreasing even as credit risk spreads increase).
- Credit risk spreads continue to increase as underwriting guidelines continue to tighten.
- Uninsured funds are being siphoned out of institutions.
- Portfolio executions can be optimized as long as they are not mass marketed.
- Quiet, private negotiated transactions that fall under the radar maximize executions.
- Recycling funds through the sale of existing loans results in higher margins from fees and re-lending at higher rates.
______________________________________________________________________________________
Worldwide provides the following strategic services:
- Sale/Acquisition/Participation of commercial real estate loan(s) and portfolios, regardless of performance..
- Targeted loan portfolio sales and acquisitions for liquidity, mitigating geographic and product type concentration risk.
- Secondary marketing services for Bank Holding Companies actively involved in Mergers & Acquisitions.
Worldwide differentiates itself from others by presenting a sellers' loan(s) to only one buyer at a time on a "for their eyes only" negotiated basis. It has been our experience that significantly higher executions are achieved when portfolios are strategically marketed in this manner.
