So, a loan for one of our apartment complexes in the Chicago area matured. It is a straight up commercial loan—85 units. The lender kept the same 4.20% rate. I’ve already signed the docs, so nothing I can do now. But we’ve got another complex where the loan is maturing next year. I talked to a few people and they said 4.20 % isn’t bad for commercial multifamily, but wanted to know if anyone here had thoughts on this.

It seems like the only time this doesn't happen is for gay (usually yt) men or BHM. I'm just feeling so...minimized.
