As reported by the loan servicer
Loan-level data the CMBS trust files monthly on EDGAR (Form ABS-EE, Exhibit 102, Schedule AL), latest filing per trust. Balance is the scheduled balance at the period end; DSCR is on net cash flow from the most recent borrower financials; appraised value is the latest valuation reported, or the one at securitisation. Several trusts for one mall usually means one loan split into pari-passu notes, each trust reporting its piece. Matched on the property name and state in the exhibit, unreviewed.
