Thanks to a series of government measures, the pandemic did not cause the massive wave of distressed debt flooding the market that many expected, but certain property types remain vulnerable.

Though the government-sponsored enterprises have some of the lowest forbearance rates in the market, they expect to contend with a significant population of borrowers who face steep financial setbacks after the pandemic ends.

The mortgage real estate investment trust has been a first-mover regarding innovations in the private securitized market, and others tend to follow its lead.
