Mark Fogel, President and CEO of ACRES Capital, talks about the role of alternative lenders and how communication between borrowers and lenders can overcome these challenges. Watch the video for Fogel’s recommendations on creating a solid partnership with your lender. This video is posted as part of REBusinessOnline’s Finance Insight series, covering MBA CREF 2020.
