WHAT IS A CRAM DOWN?
A cram down can actually refer to two different things in bankruptcy. In a Chapter 11 filing, it refers to a bankruptcy court “cramming down” a reorganization plan over the objection of creditors. The term has also come to refer to a court-ordered modification of mortgages on rental or commercial property in Chapter 11, Chapter 12 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing.
Cramdowns can be used with all types of commercial property, including:
Multiple-unit apartments
Duplexes
Retail stores
Office buildings
Warehouses
Manufacturing buildings
Cramdowns can be used to change the terms of any loan that is secured only by the principal resident. It can even be used in the case of a duplex or multiple-unit apartment when you live in one of the units.
If you have multiple mortgages on your property, bankruptcy may also allow you to strip the liens from junior mortgages.
