In the residential market, the gov. bailed out the banks by pretending to “help homeowners stay in their homes.” That’s gonna be a tough sell when it comes time to “help keep commercial real-estate owners in their commercial real estate.”
As such, this could be pretty hard on the banks cuz the gov will have a much harder time bailing them out, politically speaking.
Also gonna be tough for the owners to claim “predatory lending” when they are business people.
At this point, I hate to say I’d be surprised at anything the gov does, but, it seems a tougher challenge to bail out the banks on CRE.
