☆ Lenders are bailing out of commercial real estate as a wave of debt builds
▼ + stars: | 2024-01-30 | by ( Daniel Geiger | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +10 min

Roughly $2.1 trillion of debt connected to commercial real estate assets, including office properties, apartment buildings, hotels, and retail spaces, will come due between now and the end of 2025 in the US, according to the real estate services firm JLL. The wave of maturities and the enormous equity shortfalls have raised concerns that a growing number of commercial real estate debts will fall into distress, forcing banks and other lenders to suffer losses. His group tracked about $15 billion of commercial property debt sales during the year, roughly three times the volume from 2022. Commercial real estate loans differ from residential mortgages taken by homeowners in that most are interest-only or pay down their principal balance minimally and span a decade or less. More banks are exploring loan salesBanks and other lenders generally aren't eager to seize the real estate assets that collateralize their debt.

“This is a basically a death penalty for a business,” said Columbia University law professor Eric Talley. Bank officials called to testify couldn’t say for sure if Trump’s personal statement of worth had any impact on the rates. His nonprofit Trump Foundation agreed to shut down in 2018 over allegations he misused funds for political and business interests. The Deutsche unit making the Trump business loans wasn’t the typical lending unit, but its private wealth division.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Taylor Swift is on hand for boyfriend Travis Kelce's latest NFL playoff game. It did not take long for him to give her a reason to celebrate. It came in the end zone at the same end of the stadium as Swift, who was watching the game with his mother, Donna Kelce, and Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Few people proselytize about the importance of tight ends more than San Francisco's George Kittle. So Kittle showed no surprise about the fact that the four teams playing on championship weekend all rely heavily on the tight end in the passing game. "Tight ends give you the ability to mismatch whether it's on linebackers or safeties. “I’ve got a lot of respect for the way he plays the game, man,” said Lions coach Dan Campbell, a former NFL tight end.

Josh Shapiro has a new slogan for how he wants to run Pennsylvania — and it's not fit for kids' ears. “There’s children here, so we’ll just say ‘stuff.’”That was the G-rated version of the line he’s been delivering in recent months. His social media team also has used the phrase online in videos. One of Shapiro's fellow Pennsylvania Democrats, U.S. Sen. John Fetterman, cussed routinely on social media while on his way to winning the Senate seat in 2022. Still, Fetterman — known for his blunt and irreverent talk — generally confined his profanities to his writings on social media when describing his disdain for, say, Pennsylvania's relatively low minimum wage.

Yet in the Senate, long a bastion of Republican resistance (or at least hesitancy) to Trump, there are still a number of holdouts. As of January 24, there are still 20 Republican senators — out of 49 total — who have not endorsed Trump's 2024 bid. AdvertisementSome of those senators can be expected to get behind Trump when his nomination becomes official, or at least uncontested. Four current GOP senators — Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Mitt Romney of Utah — voted to convict Trump for incitement of an insurrection following January 6.
