Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. is in advanced talks to buy a majority stake in the commercial mortgage business at General Motors’ finance arm, GMAC, for at least $1 billion, according to a published report.


The New York Post reported Tuesday that as part of the negotiations, KKR is also expected to assist GMAC in refinancing some $3 billion to $4 billion.


GM, the world’s leading auto manufacturer, has been hit with losses at its core automotive operations but has been helped by strong results from GMAC. The commercial mortgage business is only a small part of GMAC’s line of business, which also includes auto finance and home mortgages.
