VIDEO: Experts Map Out the Current Investment and Finance Landscape

At the Connect Distressed Investment & Finance conference earlier this month in Los Angeles, commercial real estate capital markets experts provided candid views of the current landscape—and how much it has changed compared to what we saw in 2021 and 2022. 

“Right now, the borrowing rate is so low, because the debt service coverage ratio math is off, because you can’t borrow at a percentage of what you used to be able to,” said Brad Ross, managing director, head of originations at Parkview Financial. However, he continued, “ultimately it will revert back, based on the Treasury.” 

Click on the video below for more insights from Ross, along with Chris Porter, SVP research, John Burns Research & Consulting; Jenna Unell, VP, senior managing director—special servicing, Greystone; Steve Pumper, executive managing partner, Transwestern; Mark Grace, senior managing director, Walker & Dunlop; and Malcolm Johnson, founder and CEO, Langdon Park Capital.
