Builders and developers who are finding that the credit crunch is limiting their financing options can explore new sources in the upcoming webinar “Finding Alternative Financing,” which will be held from 2:00-3:00 p.m. EDT on Thursday, Oct. 14.

Presented by the Commercial Builders Council, two attorneys with substantial construction industry experience will discuss various types of non-bank financing, including private and syndicate.

Participants will:

• Learn what syndication is and how it can provide a viable source for financing projects
• Get proven tips on where to find capable partners
• Understand how to structure contracts — including what to include and what to avoid

The speakers also will discuss the importance of restructuring debt and various methods for doing so, as well as potential tax challenges that may accompany alternative financing.

The speakers include:

• Guy Ackerman, a partner in the Real Estate and Construction Group of Plante & Moran PLLC.
  He has extensive experience in restructuring real estate assets and companies with complex ownership structures.
  
  
• Fred Hoppe, managing partner of The Hoppe Law Firm, LLC and owner of Hoppe Homes, LP
  He has participated in all facets of the development of low income housing tax credit projects: application, syndication, construction, operation and management.

The fee is $24.95 for NAHB members and $34.95 for non-members.
