## Resource

Cerberus Capital Management just pulled off a jaw-dropping $1.3 billion deal, snapping up a massive loan portfolio from OceanFirst Financial tied to New York’s rent-stabilized buildings — one of the largest since rent control laws reshaped the market in 2019. With landlords now locked into strict rent rules and the Rent Guidelines Board freezing increases for a million apartments (already under legal fire), this sector has become a high-risk, high-reward gamble. OceanFirst inherited the debt when it bought Flushing Financial, and Cerberus — managing $70 billion across private equity, credit, and real estate — is betting big on a market others have abandoned. The exact purchase price remains secret, but this move signals bold confidence in a volatile, legally tangled real estate niche.
