Over a trillion and a half dollars in commercial real estate loans are coming due into higher rates. Some owners will refinance. Many won't be able to. In one hour, we'll show you what's actually happening, where the pressure is, and how to evaluate any deal that comes out of it.

The real problem

Most investors are hearing about this from headlines, not from the people who have to underwrite it.

You've built capital that earns well. But every headline about commercial real estate says something different, and the investors who get hurt in a reset are usually the ones reacting to noise.

What you hear

"Commercial real estate is collapsing"

True for some buildings and some owners. Wildly wrong for others. The difference is the whole game.

What you're told

"Wait until it's over"

By the time the reset feels safe, the discounts it created are usually gone.

What you're sold

"This deal is a steal"

Some are. Some are yesterday's problem with a new sponsor. You need a way to tell them apart.

There's a better seat at the table.

Understand what's really coming due, who's under pressure, and the specific tests a deal should pass before you commit a dollar. That's what this session is for.

The reset

Cheap debt built the last cycle. The bill is coming due now.

For a decade, owners financed buildings at historically low rates on short-term loans. Those loans are maturing into a very different rate environment, and many owners can't refinance at today's cost of capital without adding equity they don't have.

The refinance gap

A loan written at the old rate is being replaced by a loan at today's rate. Same building, same rent, meaningfully higher debt payment. That gap is where forced sales, recapitalizations, and opportunities come from.

Why most people read this wrong

Three things investors believe that aren't quite true.

The maturity wall already passed.

Not exactly. 2026 scheduled maturities are down from 2025, but a large share of prior-year loans were extended rather than resolved. That debt didn't disappear. It moved forward on the calendar.

Rate cuts will fix it.

Short-term cuts don't set commercial mortgage rates. Many owners are refinancing from loans in the 4s into loans in the 6s. The gap is structural, not a headline away from closing.

All commercial real estate is in trouble.

Pressure varies sharply by property type, lender, and loan vintage. Good buildings with bad debt are a very different situation from bad buildings, and they get priced very differently.

Where the pressure sits

It's not one market. It's several, moving at different speeds.

The share of each property type's mortgage balances scheduled to mature in 2026 tells you where refinancing pressure is concentrated, and where it isn't.

On the webinar we'll walk through what these numbers mean for pricing, which segments we believe are pressure without distress, and which are distress without a floor.

Spotlight: triple-net commercial

Triple-net retail feels the reset in pricing, not in a wall of maturing loans.

In a triple-net (NNN) lease, the tenant pays rent plus the property's taxes, insurance, and maintenance, usually on a long-term lease. That makes the value of an NNN property mostly a function of three things: the tenant's credit, the years left on the lease, and the price paid. In a higher-rate market, the gap between strong and weak versions of those three has widened.

~5,800single-tenant net lease properties on the market, up 12.5% in one quarter
<10%of retail net lease supply is investment-grade tenants on long-term leases

Asking cap rates by tenant type

A higher cap rate means a lower price for the same rent. The spread shows how sharply the market prices tenant credit and lease term.

Where it's holding up

Long-term leases to investment-grade tenants are pricing on credit, not on interest rates. Net lease cap rates have barely moved in 2026 even as rate-cut expectations faded, and that quality product is scarce.

Where the risk is

New supply is concentrated in non-credit retail. Properties with short remaining lease terms or weaker tenants carry the widest gap between what sellers ask and what buyers will pay. And properties bought at record-low cap rates with cheap debt can face a refinance that costs more than the rent covers.

Triple-net retail is one of the asset classes SIMM Capital invests in. On the webinar, we'll walk through how we underwrite tenant credit, lease term, and basis before we buy.

What you'll learn

Five things we'll cover in one hour.

  1. What's actually coming due

    How much debt matures, when, and why "extend and pretend" pushed so much of it into the next two years.

  2. Why distress isn't the same as a bad building

    How to separate a debt problem from a property problem, and why that distinction drives where the discounts show up.

  3. The tests a deal must pass in a reset

    Basis, debt coverage at today's rates, loan structure, operational control, and a defined exit. Miss one and the deal is counting on the market to bail it out.

  4. Where we see opportunity and where we don't

    Which property types and capital positions we believe are worth attention now, including triple-net retail, and the traps that look cheap for a reason.

  5. The questions to ask any sponsor

    A practical list you can use on every operator who pitches you, including us, before you commit capital.

This framework isn't theoretical. It's the checklist we run on our own deals, and we walk away from anything that fails it.

How the hour runs

  1. First 15 min

    The market

    The maturity data, the refinance gap, and what it means for pricing.

  2. 15 to 35 min

    The framework

    How we evaluate deals coming out of the reset, with real examples.

  3. 35 to 45 min

Why listen to us

We structured for this before it was a headline.

The owners in trouble now are the ones who took short-term, floating debt. We didn't.

Is this for you?

This session is built for a certain kind of investor.

This is for you if…

  • You're an accredited investor, or expect to be, with capital you want working harder.
  • You're a business owner, physician, executive, or professional with money sitting in cash or the market.
  • You've been pitched real estate deals and want a better way to evaluate them.
  • You think in years and decades, not quarters.
  • You want to understand the market before you commit to anyone, including us.

This probably isn't for you if…

  • You're looking for a quick flip or a guaranteed outcome.
  • You need your money liquid and available on short notice.
  • You want to buy and manage properties yourself.
  • You're looking for day-trading or stock tips.

Why now, not next year

Three clocks are running. All of them favor people who understand this early.

Clock one: the extensions

Pushed-off loans are coming back

Loans extended in 2023 through 2025 are rolling into the 2026 and 2027 window. Extensions buy time; they don't create equity.

Clock two: the rate gap

The math doesn't fix itself

As long as new debt costs meaningfully more than old debt, over-leveraged owners face a choice: add capital, sell, or hand back the keys.

Clock three: the competition

Capital is coming back

The MBA forecasts commercial mortgage originations rising to roughly $805B in 2026. As capital returns, the best pricing tends to go to those who were ready first.

Questions before you register.

The webinar

Is this a sales pitch?

It's an education session first. Most of the hour covers the market and a framework you can use to evaluate any sponsor. We'll spend a short portion explaining how SIMM Capital is positioned, and you're under no obligation to do anything afterward.

Will there be a replay?

Register even if you can't attend live. We'll follow up after the session with next steps. Live attendees get the Q&A.

Do I need to be accredited to attend?

No. Anyone can attend the educational session. Any investment offering by SIMM Capital is available only to verified accredited investors under Rule 506(c) of Regulation D.

How long is it?

About 60 minutes, including roughly 15 minutes of live Q&A.

The market

Isn't the worst of commercial real estate already over?

Some of the pricing reset has happened. But a significant amount of debt was extended rather than resolved, which pushed maturities into 2026 and 2027. We'll walk through why that matters and what it means for timing.

Is this mostly about office buildings?

No. Office gets the headlines, but hotels, industrial, health care, and multifamily all have meaningful maturities, and triple-net retail is being repriced on tenant credit and lease term. We'll cover where we see real risk and where we see pressure without distress.

What if rates come down?

Lower short-term rates don't automatically lower commercial mortgage rates, and many owners would still be refinancing into higher payments than they have today. We'll cover how we underwrite for rates staying where they are.
