When does it arrive?
Every Tuesday at 9:00 AM Eastern. It takes about five minutes to read.
What does it cover?
Troubled commercial real estate debt in the United States: loans moving to special servicing, defaults, foreclosure suits, receiverships, trustee and sheriff's sales, and properties going back to lenders. Office, multifamily, retail, hotel and the occasional oddball.
Is this investment advice?
No. It is information about public situations. Nothing in an issue is a recommendation to buy, sell, lend on or bid for anything.
