Commercial Real Estate Investors May Profit From Increasing Loan Defaults

by Roland on March 30, 2009

Commercial real estate investors may profit from increasing loan defaults. According to a Wall Street Journal article “commercial real-estate loans are going sour at an accelerating pace, threatening to cause tens of billions of dollars in losses to banks already hurt by the housing downturn.”

The Journal reported that the delinquency rate on about $700 billion in securitized loans backed by office buildings, hotels, stores and other investment property has more than doubled since September to 1.8% this month, according to data provided to it by Deutsche Bank AG. While that’s low compared with the home-mortgage delinquency rate (according to Zillow), it’s just short of the highest rate during the last downturn early this decade.
