How do I find commercial real estate loans maturing in a specific city or metro?
To find maturing CRE loans in a market, start from recorded mortgages on commercial properties in that area, read each loan's maturity date and structure, and rank the properties by how soon the loan comes due and how hard it will be to refinance at today's rates. Interest-only and balloon loans maturing within 6 to 24 months are usually the first to look at.

What makes a maturing loan a real opportunity
- Timing: maturity within the next two years leaves the owner time to sell, recapitalize or refinance.
- Structure: interest-only or balloon loans need a full payoff at maturity.
- Coverage: falling income or weak debt coverage makes refinancing at current rates harder.
- Leases: large tenants leaving before maturity cut the income a new lender will underwrite.
- Owner: a single-asset LLC with one loan behaves differently from a portfolio owner with many.
How to rank the list
1. Filter to your property types and size range.
2. Sort by months to maturity.
3. Move up the properties where income is falling or leases are ending.
4. Find the owner behind the LLC and how to reach them.
Why this is hard to do by hand
Loan records, ownership and lease facts sit in many places, and the work is matching them to one property. Doing it for one property takes an afternoon; doing it for a whole metro every week takes a system.
