Real estate lending experts at this year's conference gave insights on factors that can wreak havoc on a hotel loan, as well as ways to move a distressed property back into the black. More than half a decade has passed since the end of the last recession, and the current climate for hotel values, performance, and transactions has improved distinctly on nearly all fronts. One of the harshest causes and consequences of the downturn, however, still poses a threat to the hotel and commercial real estate industry in the U.S., namely, non-performing loans.

The fourth annual Trigild Spring Lender Conference, held at Dallas's Hotel ZaZa in late April of this year, focused on educating a range of commercial real estate stakeholders (including hotel owners and investors) on the unique issues arising from nonperforming loans. Conference host Trigild is a leading hospitality, real estate, and fiduciary services firm with 40 years of property management, asset management, receivership, and bankruptcy experience. Here are some of the key takeaways from the Trigild conference.
