Investing in direct commercial real estate lending.
In a distressed market, where banks and other institutions are reluctant to lend as freely as before, investors are rethinking their fixed income strategies to avoid riskier assets. COVID has resulted in many players retreating to the sidelines (or worse) in response to margin calls and repo lines, whilst pricing for CMBS in this environment has also become more challenging. Yet rather than the downturn being a categorical negative for investors, for some, it is an opportunity to create successful strategies to navigate the choppy waters and make meaningful returns on their investments. What opportunities does direct commercial real estate lending offer to investors going into 2021, and what do market participants need to understand about the asset class to be successful?.
