What happened. The trustee for BMO 2024-5C5 sued Starwood Mortgage Capital on Sept. 4 in New York state court, demanding that it buy back a $46.85M loan on two Harris County apartment complexes. Starwood moved the case to federal court in Manhattan on Oct. 9. The complaint alleges that a $27.6M deed of trust held by Thistle Creek Partners was already recorded ahead of the trust's lien, and that Thistle Creek foreclosed and wiped out the trust's security interest.
