What was your greatest professional accomplishment in 2019?
We expanded our sales force and underwriting teams…Still hanging onto the ever-elusive hopes of an early retirement…Sigh…

What was your most notable project, deal, or transaction in 2019?
I guess closing any multifamily deal after the destruction that was the rent laws, can be considered a miracle of sorts…but maybe closing an office building in Jacksonville, Fla. at 3.9% at a full 75% LTV, non-recourse, with a local bank, in under two months, should be considered a feather in our figurative hats.

What are your predictions for commercial real estate in 2020?
I am always wrong…
