On market terms for amortization and down payment, the loan constant on that debt is close to 8 percent. The debt service could never meet coverage requirements, yet those deals kept trading.

That pricing reflected current debt and the adjustments sellers needed to make to meet the market. Those cap rates have kept rising, and buyers are getting more aggressive in what they ask for. Now debt has risen to nearly 7 percent, …
