In aggregate, those loans could generate about $16 billion in refinance proceeds, enough to cover the outstanding balances. So on the surface, the wall is manageable. But underneath the headline, 206 loans totaling $8.1 billion, about 54% of the analyzed balance, would require the borrower to bring fresh equity to refinance. And $5.6 billion of that would need a 20% or greater cash injection.
