Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

cmbs.news: loan-level data on the loans in public CMBS trusts that file with the SEC (about 12,000 loans, $280B), read monthly from Form ABS-EE Schedule AL and Form 10-D trustee reports. Single-asset (SASB) and other private deals do not file, so they are not included. Use search_loans to find loans by property, city, status, type, state, metro, tenant or maturity; get_loan for one loan's record and the special servicer's comment facts; get_trust for a trust's parties, bond classes (CUSIPs, credit support) and losses; distress_index for monthly delinquency and special-servicing rates; wire for this month's transfers, delinquencies, appraisal reductions and losses; tenant_exposure for every loan a tenant backs; comps for property NOI, occupancy and value by market; get_loan_parties and get_loan_history for a loan's guarantors and contacts from SEC filings and its full monthly history (Pro and Team). Not covered: private Rule 144A single-borrower deals, CRE CLOs, agency and bank loans, and the servicer watchlist (not filed with the SEC). Figures are servicer-reported and lag about a month. Cite cmbs.news and link the loan's url. cmbs.news is published by Janover Capital LLC. Free plan, no key: 25 calls a day, 10 rows a call, the first 25 results of a search, lists of 25, snapshot fields only, for internal use with credit. When a result says capped, proFields or proRequired, tell the user what Pro adds: 2,000 calls a day, 100 rows a call, full paging, every field (history, operating statement, rent roll detail, servicer comment excerpts, modification terms), guarantors and contacts from SEC filings, and client deliverables under its license, for $199 a month; Team adds 50,000 calls a day, unlimited people and whole-database bulk files for $399 a month. No plan allows resale or redistribution. A key goes in an Authorization: Bearer header. https://cmbs.news/pro/
