A CMBS Loan, also known as Conduit Loan, is a type of commercial real estate loan that is secured by a first-position mortgage on a commercial property. These loans are packaged and sold by Conduit Lenders, commercial banks, investment banks, or syndicates of banks.
Also question is, how does a CMBS loan work?
Once the bonds have been rated, they are sold to investors at a price based on their rating. After the bond has been sold, the lender who originally loaned the money to the borrower is repaid, minus a small percentage for risk retention. This gives the lender more capital to be able to fund additional loans.
