Scott Tross says the FDIC's apparent plan to bundle performing real estate loans and sell them as CMBS is likely to attract the usual buyers of CMBS -- pension funds, insurance companies, mutual funds, institutions and wealthy individual investors. He notes that there are more factors indicating the market will want the securities -- undeployed cash, a paucity of CMBS for several years, and an apparent strengthening of the real estate and credit markets -- than factors arguing against market acceptance.
