Quotes:

“You want to start thinking about not having too many deals ending at the same time in terms of when the loans come due… And then same thing, you don't want the leases ending at the same time your loans ending in commercial properties. That's a recipe for disaster.” - Drew Breneman

“I think multifamily still has all the tailwinds at its back. We're still under-housed.” - Drew Breneman
