Consequently, it’s especially important right now for apartment professionals to understand the complexities of the current state of the market and where it’s heading. As 2021 is fast approaching, here are three key trends we can expect to see in the Philadelphia multifamily market for the remainder of 2020 and into the new year.

From financing to future opportunities, this brief, to-the-point interview covers what balance sheet lenders have to offer and what influences the Alliant’s lending.
