How the math works

Size gap against sponsor liquidity. If gap exceeds 10% of sale and sponsor can't cover, reopen release provisions with lender or pass on sale.
How to Use
- Enter expected sale price.
- Enter closing/commission costs.
- Enter release price.
- Read gap.
Frequently Asked Questions
Positive gap?
Sale proceeds exceed release price. Sponsor nets the difference. Typical on strong assets in strong markets, 10-15% of allocated loan.
Negative gap?
Sale proceeds below release price. Sponsor must cash in to close. Common on weakest properties in cross-pools. Decision: cash-in close, delay sale, or negotiate reduced release.
Negotiating reduction?
When gap is material, offer partial paydown of non-sold properties in exchange for reduced release. Lender comfort with pool improves with principal paydown on remaining collateral.
When does a lender negotiate vs foreclose?
Lenders calculate their net recovery from foreclosure (asset value minus legal, time, and sale costs) and compare to any workout proposal. If your offer nets the lender more than foreclosure, and you present it with clear sources of capital, most lenders will engage. Bring a credible sponsor, documented sources, and a timeline — vague asks get declined. Build the relationship before distress, not after.
