If it was a local bank, they might even work it out before going to the steps, but Fargo will probably pull the trigger if it has gotten this far. Looks like the Moorings (with the help of the Banker) has dug a hole to deep to get out of. Probably been loosing money for several years and just staying afloat from bank loans.

I would guess the bank will want to continue the income stream from the rentals until they can find a buyer. They might even have a buyer lined up. Might also, split off the condo's and the motel operation from the boating operation. A operating business in much more desireable than a piece of R/E.

I would see a big bank charge off coming, sure would not want to be that commerical banker (my job for almost 20 years). I see no way their present rentals could service that kind of debt.

I stayed there this summer for the first time. What a cool place. Rooms are big and very nice. With slip right out your door. I hope it stays together.
