Jones Lang LaSalle surveyed 186 borrowers, and they noted that lenders
need to provide certainty of execution as the number one factor they
consider in the loan origination process. Flexibility of loan terms
ranks second and lowest available rate ranks third. Tom Melody believes
these deliverables will remain key the factors impacting debt financing
in 2012. He also sees life companies putting out as much as 10 to 20
percent more capital in 2012 and CMBS issuance up 50 to 100 percent over
last year.
