• Which are the hottest markets in the U.S. for domestic vs. foreign investment ?
• What impact is increased competition having on spreads?
• How are lenders maintaining their competitive edge in the market?
• Which property types are attracting financing, and what’s the lender appetite for transitional vs. stabilized assets at this point in the cycle?
• Where are the market's pockets of distress/ areas of opportunity beginning to show?
• As we (perhaps) near the end of the cycle how are bridge loans on transitional assets performing?
• How is the CRE CLO sector holding up compared with 2018, and how is its collateral faring?
