The FDIC is entering into direct partnerships with buyers and retaining a long-term equity stake in the loan portfolios as it opens up to bidders one of the second-largest bulk sale of commercial property in its history. The winner is expected to be one of finance’s private equity titans. The sale is consisted of a portfolio of nonperforming loans from commercial real estate properties issued by failed lenders IndyMac, Corus and Franklin. The agency has been scrambling to raise some cash from a vast array of bank assets as the FDIC fund that insures bank deposits went red this year.
