CPS Commercial Real Estate

One outside observer, Shlomo Chopp, an adviser on distressed commercial real estate deals, said the lawsuit could have large implications for CMBS borrowers, not just investors. (continued in thread) Thanks for the quote @TheKeithLarsen /1 therealdeal.com/2022/06/24/c…

- Depending on the servicer asset manager, some properties that hiccuped during COVID are being pushed further into distress to hoard fees - Servicers are enforcing the letter of the law and not giving borrowers much leeway. /2

#CMBS WORKOUT 2021 on the ground observations not statistical — based on client experiences… - Deferral repayment period kick-ins (often PG’d) are causing angst /1 @CPS_CRE

- On smaller loans, some Servicers are using (threatened) recourse litigation - which either gets the borrower to fold or escalates the dispute. - Significant Borrower friendly workouts are still far and few between especially given the lack of long-term market clarity. /3

- Too many Borrowers do not know that according to their loan docs, litigating with their lender may trigger recourse- may even include responding to a foreclosure complaint. Hopefully 2022 will bring clarity and resolutions. Glad to answer any questions #CMBS @CPS_CRE /4
