CMBS are investment securities backed by pools of commercial mortgages. Lenders originate commercial mortgage loans, pool them, and sell them as securities to investors. This provides liquidity to the commercial lending market, allowing more commercial real estate lending in Oregon. CMBS loans often have specific requirements (DSCR, LTV) and prepayment restrictions that affect Oregon commercial property transactions.
