And in order to make those projected returns pencil-out they used very aggressive/nonconservative underwriting including very high leverage (above 65%), floating rate loans (higher projected return but increased the risk of catastrophic default if interest rates rose), financially engineered capital stacks (which increase the risk of a problem for the normal equity investors in ways that are similar to taking on more debt), very high sponsor split compsensation that financially incentivize them to push the risk-envolope etc.On the other hand, all the conservatively underwritten multi-family deals (low leverage, fixed rate loans, simple capital stacks, average sponsor split compensation) are almost universally fine.Another area having problems is in the riskiest strategies like ground-up construction (opportunistic)...because everything is more expensive than projected.
