Are you a TIC investor looking for your partners?

How Bridger Asset Management Advisory Services Can Help

It is imperative for you to take action to protect your DBSI property investment in the wake of DBSI’s bankruptcy filing on November 10, 2008. Your most cost effective approach is to retain a qualified Asset Manager/Advisor to work side-by-side with legal counsel. An Asset Manager is a real estate professional and will handle all property-related functions at a fraction of the cost of a legal firm. The Asset Manager will provide critical professional guidance to help you:

  1. Ascertain where property revenues have gone and ensure property tax, insurance and leasing escrows are protected;
  2. Provide workout strategies and options in addressing the bankrupt entities;
  3. Maintain your investment’s 1031 Tax-Free Exchange status under the Internal Revenue Code;
  4. Ensure the performing status of the underlying mortgage indebtedness on the property.

Separately, counsel will represent your interests in any legal proceedings. Bridger is being retained as Asset Manager and Advisor by certain DBSI TIC investors because of our knowledge of DBSI and commercial property investments. Bridger provided first mortgage financing on 37 properties that DBSI acquired and subsequently sold TIC interests. Our professional staff includes bank-trained property workout and management specialists who will quickly assess property conditions, employ strategies to stabilize each property and ensure that each property is operated under a mandate of protecting, preserving and maximizing TIC investor capital.

The Asset Manager's Role

DBSI TIC investors engage an Asset Manager to provide comprehensive oversight of their property investment. Bridger's responsibilities as Asset Manager include:

  1. Identify the tenants-in-common group, establish a structure for disseminating information, conduct periodic telephonic meetings to update the group, recommend courses of action, and coordinate group decision-making.
  2. Monitor the status of mortgage loan payments to the loan servicer and assess the balances of escrow accounts held by the loan servicer.
  3. Monitor the payment status of property tax and insurance obligations.
  4. Review organizational documentation to establish the rights and obligations of the parties to the transaction.
  5. Review mortgage documentation to assess investor options.
  6. Monitor the status of the sponsor, evaluate and make recommendations to the group on addressing sponsor-related risks.
  7. Negotiate on behalf of the group with the mortgage holder and its loan servicing representatives to gain forbearance for possible loan defaults or delinquency.
  8. Conduct or coordinate a comprehensive physical inspection of the property and provide an assessment of tenancies, property condition and the market.
  9. Determine the rental collection status at the property and assess actual operating performance of the property.
  10. Advise in the selection of legal counsel experienced with TIC transactions, provide counsel with direction and monitor their work.
  11. Take appropriate steps to appoint a receiver at the property if needed, or otherwise trap all cash generated.
  12. Advise in the selection and approval process for replacement property managers.
  13. Direct and monitor the actions of the replacement property manager.
  14. Examine or arrange for expert advice on potential tax implications of specific proposed actions of group investors.
  15. Develop capital plans to support the investment including the funding of tenant improvements, leasing commissions and property maintenance.
  16. Provide or arrange for expert advice of any necessary “forensic accounting” to analyze historic cash flows.

The Attorney's Role

While the Asset Manager is engaged by each TIC investor to preserve the investment value through comprehensive property assessment and oversight, each TIC separately engages counsel to:

  1. Provide investor representation at bankruptcy court proceedings.
  2. Advise on tax matters pertaining to retention of Tax-Deferred Exchange status under Internal Revenue Code Section 1031.
  3. Advise and document any restructuring of the TIC Operating Agreement and Master Lease.
