Interest rates have risen, and we're seeing a recalibration of commercial real estate values, particularly as the 10-year treasury yields impact cap rates.
Hotels are experiencing reduced new supply, making them well-positioned for recovery, even in the event of an economic downturn, due to growing demand and limited competition.
We focus on purchasing loans from banks that are looking to offload them due to balance sheet stress, especially as interest rates have risen and refinancing becomes difficult.
By being opportunistic, we’ve been able to deploy capital across different asset types and capitalize on inefficiencies in both the equity and credit markets.
