Abstract
Participants to the commercial mortgage backed securities (CMBS) market enter data unique to their property via a web-based application that applies underwriting assumptions and/or methods of transforming income and expense information into a format acceptable to the CMBS industry. The resulting data set is suitable for analysis by lenders, third party credit rating companies, and investors thus standardizing and simplifying the process of obtaining a loan, the need for lenders to perform standardized underwriting analysis, and the transfer of this analysis to both the rating agencies and the investors. The disclosed methods and procedures greatly simplify how loans enter into the CMBS market and how investors analyze the performance of loans already in the CMBS market.
