hard · Asset-Backed Securities collateral

A commercial property generating $5,000,000 in Net Operating Income (NOI) is financed with a $55,000,000 loan.

If the prevailing market Cap Rate widens from 6% to 8%, what is the new Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio and what is its primary implication for a CMBS lender at maturity?

  1. The new LTV is 75%. The lender can trigger the Cash Management account to trap all rental income, applying it toward principal until the LTV returns to a target of 65%.
  2. The new LTV is 110%. The lender is considered underwater and must foreclose immediately, since the Debt Service Coverage Ratio will fall well below the critical 1.0x threshold at this cap rate.
  3. The new LTV is 69%. The implication is that the Debt Yield remains essentially stable at roughly 9.1% given unchanged NOI, giving the lender enough cushion to comfortably extend the loan at maturity.
  4. The new LTV is 88%. The implication is high refinancing risk, as the borrower has significantly less equity and may struggle to find a new lender to cover the full $55M balance.
