Wells Fargo (WFC) agreed to buy commercial property loans from ING Real Estate Finance with balances of $1.6 billion. The price wasn't announced in a statement today from ING.
Payments on all of the 29 loans are considered current, and they represent about half of ING Real Estate Finance's total U.S. loan portfolio, according to the statement. ING previously announced plans to reduce its U.S. property lending.
