Welcome to Builder Solutions, the monthly e-newsletter from Builders CoPilot.
Builders CoPilot sponsored a webcast for NAHB on 04/29/2009 to bring together Home Builders, Bankers & Realty Experts on a Webinar Program broadcast live nationwide.
The Webinar titled ‘Negotiating with Your Lender’ was attended by Home Builders, Developers, Associations, Lenders, Realty Companies and Vendor/Suppliers making it a huge success.
SESSION OVERVIEW
Home Builders and developers are caught in a debacle with the credit crisis that plagues our nation's financial institutions. Traditional lending sources are increasingly pressured to be both profitable and to create stability by regulators, which affecting the building industry. Financial institutions that have been traditional business partners are now doing business under vastly different circumstances and new regulations. These changes challenge even the most robust builders who are searching for ways to keep negotiation options open with their lenders for mutually beneficial arrangements.
Attendees heard from those on both sides of the table about options that are proving to work by tuning in to this 60 minute online conference. This conference was hosted by a panel of experts including three veteran builders, a leading banking industry attorney, and a seasoned lender
PANEL DISCUSSION TOPICS
    • practices that other builders have found to work in negotiating with lenders
