SAN DIEGO — Politics may slow down progress, but positive changes are on their way to the seniors housing industry and U.S. healthcare system, according to former Speaker of the House of Representatives Paul Ryan. Ryan’s comments during the opening general session Feb. 21 at the National Investment Center for Seniors Housing & Care (NIC) 2019 Spring Conference.

Hunt: Evolution is the Solution to Today’s Lending Success

by Jaime Lackey February 21, 2019

Chad Thomas Hagwood, senior managing director and Southeast regional manager at Hunt Real Estate Capital, believes times are changing. Hagwood asserts a change in perception is what originally made multifamily such a popular investment years ago. He believes another change is necessary to address our nation’s housing and affordability crises. Hagwood sees manufactured housing as being a partial solution to these challenges. Like the broader multifamily market, this specialty product has suffered from an image problem in the past. While lenders have been willing, borrowers haven’t always been sold on the product. Hagwood is confident that the industry will come around, however, as increased competition leads to creativity — and an opportunity may be staring investors right in the face. Watch the video to hear more about Hagwood’s predictions for 2019.
