Property Developers Looking for Piece of Bailout Pie

Now that U.S. automakers have been given a piece of the billion-dollar bailout, other business sectors hit hard by the U.S. credit crisis are now seeking money.

Some of the biggest U.S. property developers are asking the government for money as $160 billion in maturing commercial mortgages come due next year, the Wall Street Journal reported today. There's an estimated $530 billion in commercial mortgages due for refinancing over the next three years.

Commercial mortgages typically run for 10 years at most and have large cash payments due at maturation.
