Explain whether you agree or disagree with the following statement: "Most CMBS deals are backed by newly originated commercial mortgage loans."

What will be an ideal response?


Commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) are backed by loans secured with commercial rather than residential property. The CMBS market provides liquidity and diversification to commercial real estate investors and ready access to capital for commercial lenders. A commercial mortgage loan is originated either to finance a newly originated commercial purchase or to refinance a prior commercial mortgage obligation. Regardless, the lender needs to look at the cash flow from the property backing payment of the interest and principle.
