The COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on the economy generally and with respect to many asset classes of real estate. The general consensus now is this unfortunate situation will not abate for some time in the future. Not surprisingly, with businesses closed, employees furloughed, and revenue streams severely challenged, many owners of real estate and their tenants are simply not making rent and debt service payments. When that happens, the value of the real estate is reset, leaving the equity and possibly some of the debt impaired.

Lesson Learning Objective: By the end of this lesson, you will be able to link the significance of tax consequences to distressed real estate workouts.
