Tucson conduit risks to read before you chase proceeds
- Prepay lock-in
- Defeasance or yield maintenance can cost more than a sale saves. Estimate it with numbers you type.
- Carve-outs
- Non-recourse marketing still comes with a guaranty for named acts. Counsel reviews it. We do not promise non-recourse.
- National averages
- CRED iQ's LTVs describe conduit new issues. They are not a cap or a floor for a Tucson property.
Wikipedia describes a commercial mortgage-backed security as a loan pooled and sold to bond investors, with a special servicer who steps in if the loan is in trouble. That structure is why sponsors look at a conduit for a stabilized Tucson shopping center, hotel, office building, or warehouse: the loan is often marketed as non-recourse, with a carve-out guaranty rather than a full repayment guaranty. Non-recourse is never a promise from this office. The guaranty still has a list of acts that bring the sponsor back. Counsel reads that list. The Arizona reading of recourse is recourse versus non-recourse.
CRED iQ's September 17, 2026 note on conduit new issues compared June through August 2026 with the same months of 2025. CRED iQ reported a note-amount-weighted average loan-to-value of 62.0 percent for multifamily, 49.5 percent for office, and 47.8 percent for retail, and a blended 55.6 percent. It also said industrial leverage was lower than the year before, on the order of several points, and that hotel remained a cautious category. Those are CRED iQ's conduit averages. They are not a Tucson quote, not a Capital Market Funds maximum, and not a rate. This page does not repeat any coupon from that note.
The state page is Arizona CMBS. A Phoenix conduit page is Phoenix CMBS. Retail collateral is Tucson retail. The city hub is Tucson. Prepay math you type yourself is the prepayment estimator. The Mortgage Bankers Association's research section is national origination context, not a conduit grid for Pima County.
Defeasance, yield maintenance, and special servicing
Conduit loans commonly restrict prepayment. Defeasance replaces the property collateral with securities so bondholders still receive their payments. Yield maintenance is a fee designed to replace the yield the lender gives up. A Tucson borrower who may sell in year three should price that cost before treating a conduit as flexible. The estimator on this site uses figures you type. It is not a servicer's payoff.
Special servicing is the party who handles a loan that is in default or in a transfer the pooling agreement cares about. It is not the originator, and it is not Capital Market Funds. A lockbox or cash-management trigger can also be part of the documents. Read those triggers with counsel. This page is not legal advice.
Which Tucson properties belong in a conduit conversation
A building with a stable rent roll and a sponsor who can sign carve-outs is the usual candidate. A dark store, a hotel still finding its season, or an office that is half vacant is a weak conduit story even if a national average loan-to-value looks generous. Wikipedia's Tucson article explains the city. It does not stabilize a rent roll. Multifamily averages in the CRED iQ note are context for apartments. This page's collateral emphasis is retail, hotel, office, and industrial.
Craig Hoebing arranges the request from Scottsdale. Capital Market Funds is not a Fannie Mae DUS lender, not the CMBS issuer, and not the special servicer. There is no Tucson conduit desk at this firm.
