You know, just trying to get from the lender's perspective, what does a lender need to see before they're comfortable lending against a leasehold interest? What are they looking for?

Well, they need to see the ground lease.

That's the most important thing because that's really their collateral.

26:23
the lender gets a right to receive simultaneous notice of that default and a right to cure it.
