$270B of commercial real estate loans are set to mature in 2023, which is an all-time record for loan maturities.

Loans maturing in the next 24 months that have a debt service coverage ratio below 1.25 totals roughly $70 billion (Trepp).

These property owners have two options: refinance or sell.

The issue with refinancing some of these assets is the lack of in-place cash flow to size to a new loan.

This will force sales, and with sales we will see how values have been affected. Values in turn will dictate if owners can pay off loans.
