Lending Is Returing Carefully And With Limits - The Ross Rant Article via GlobeSt.com

Lending of all types is returning, although, it is still limited and to some extent, still bifurcated. CMBS 2.0 is starting to ramp up again, although it is likely not to exceed $40-45 billion this year. The first pool of 2012 should happen very shortly with four others to follow soon after. The size is likely to stay around $1.0-$1.2 billion per pool. Average loan size will most likely stay moderate and be around $25-$35 million, with an average of about 50 to 60 loans per pool.
