CMBS B-Piece Buyer Dry Powder?

As you might have deduced from the post title, would any of you care to share how YOU would go about coming up with an educated guess for the amount of dry capital that is waiting around to purchase conduit CMBS BB-NR paper? Not necessarily risk-retention capable, just any b-piece. Alternatively, if you know the actual number, that would be awesome, or if you want to take a wild-ass guess, that would be cool too.

I'm thinking there has to be at least a year's worth of capacity(?), so if 2017 projected conduit volume is something like $50-$55BN, and let's say the average BBB- credit enhancement is 7.5%, that would be something like $3.9BN in dry powder. What do you guys think?
