Anyone that purchased anything on the basis of speculative gain, as opposed to real value, with low cost credit is going to have a massive margin call. Without the free credit your asset value just fell through the floor. I suggest holding until the economy improves and the asset value can be accurately assessed by the market. If you can't support it for that long give it to the lender and fold your tent.
The commercial real estate is the last vestage of the bank real estate holdings - they are starting to go under now.
Banks are scared that if they claim there commerical foreclosures that the fed would deem them as a risk and take the bank over. The banks are hoping for a hail mary pass from Obama to rescue them before the SHTF
