Flynn addresses these points and elaborates on ORIX USA’s acquisition of the Hunt Companies’ commercial real estate financing subsidiary in the Q&A below. Finance Insight: What commercial property sector will experience the most activity in 2020, and why?

Of course, the other side of the equation is the growth in multifamily demand drivers. These drivers have remained strong, …
