Key Insights:

• Record Loan Maturities: A staggering $2 trillion of multifamily and storage loans are set to mature over the next three years.

• Bridge Loan Challenge: Out of these maturities, $135 billion are bridge loans, with a duration of 3 years or less. These loans were utilized for property acquisitions between 2020 and 2022, at peak prices.

• Interest Rate Dynamics: Approximately half of the multifamily loans originated in recent years feature floating interest rates and expiring rate caps. The reset of these rate caps presents the potential for a significant wave of forced selling.

• REITs Facing Redemption Pressure: Non-traded REITs are currently grappling with redemption requests, necessitating asset sales to meet liquidity requirements. In Q4 '22 alone, open-end real estate funds encountered approximately $20 billion in redemption requests, further driving the need for asset sales. Gelt purchased 4121 Radford Ave in Studio City, CA from AvalonBay, a publicly traded company (NYSE: AVB) in September 2022.
