This special report comprises six articles that address the issues that continue to challenge the commercial lending industry. In the report, the contributing authors address:

• How real estate secured commercial lenders can avoid and navigate around some common pitfalls.
• The implications of a district court decision in the bankruptcy case involving TOUSA, Inc. — and a second district court decision in a parallel appeal.
• A recent bankruptcy court ruling that serves as a reminder to lenders that if they are in a position to discover fraud, they may be exposed to substantial fraudulent transfer liability by turning a “blind eye” to red flags in the lending relationship.
• How loans to community associations can be a viable product for lenders, despite the absence of a deed of trust or similar security against the common area. As the author explains, an association’s regular assessment income, supplemented where necessary by special assessment funds, can provide sufficient collateral.
• How cash-driven securities lending transactions can substitute for regular repo transactions while regular securities lending transactions can substitute for securities-driven repo transactions.
• Why repossession and foreclosure of aircraft is much more complicated and involved than it is for automobiles or other personal property.
