Legacy Small Balance Commercial Real Estate Loan Portfolios
David Tobin, Principal, chats about legacy small balance commercial real estate loan portfolios in this new video.
Legacy portfolios, which is to say portfolios of loans originated pre-financial crisis, are trading at extraordinary prices relative to intrinsic value. The reason for this is higher than market coupons, long payment history and solid economic fundamentals combined with intense market liquidity from bank and non-bank sources. The opportunity to exit these portfolios in as little as 45 to 60 days exists in the marketplace. And it’s a good sound judgment call to exit portfolios of loans which are above market but which have not prepaid in this highly liquid market post-financial crisis. We expect that these portfolios will exhibit elevated levels of default as well as elevated losses compared to their post-financial crisis-originated counterparts. Banks would do well to liquidate small-balance commercial real estate loan portfolios at peak market pricing today and redeploy those proceeds into other alternative lending opportunities.
