The number of loan originations on retail properties went down by almost 10 percent year-over-year, while the number of hospitality property loans went down by more than 15 percent. Stats on office, multifamily and industrial originations were also down. NREIrecently talked with CrediFi CEO Ely Razin about his take on the latest stats on commercial real estate debt financing.
