It's definitely possible that real estate (both commercial and residential) is going to see a bunch of deleveraging as the debt becomes unserviceable. Right now everything is frozen in place. But once it restarts and everyone is supposed to get up to speed on their rents and mortgages again, a bunch of landlords are going to realize they're never getting those n months of back rent that are officially just temporarily suspended. At that point, the more leveraged ones are going to end up with cash-flow problems and mortgages going into default (also currently officially just temporarily suspended). I won't venture a guess on how widespread that's likely to be though.
