What We Do

When rates move, values reset, or the business plan changes, Johnson Capital advises borrowers through modifications, extensions, recapitalizations, and lender negotiations.

When It’s the Right Tool

  • Maturity Risk: Loans maturing into a higher-rate market where refinancing no longer pencils.

  • Covenant & Cash Flow Stress: DSCR, debt yield, or occupancy triggers affected by income declines or expense growth.

  • Underwater Positions: Negotiated A/B notes, discounted payoffs, extensions, or paydowns where value has fallen below debt.

  • Rescue Capital: New mezzanine, preferred equity, or fresh equity to cure defaults and create stabilization runway.
