How does foreign investment affect commercial mortgage brokers?
When you look at foreign investment in the United States, you can see that [investors have] made very attractive investments in the past year. I think that interest is here, and it will grow. The U.S. has excellent demographics, which are the foundation to encourage non-Americans to buy here. And they will be here as investors and will allow [commercial brokers] to do business with them. They don’t always come here with the debt in their back pockets. They find it here. Ivanna C. Sukkar is an associate editor at Scotsman Guide. Reach her at (800) 297-6061 or ivanna@scotsmanguide.com.
