This is Matt Reustle, and today we are breaking down commercial real estate lending with Josh Zegen, co-founder and Managing Principal of Madison Realty Capital. Now we've covered the underlying private credit industry in our primer earlier this year, but real estate is particularly interesting. It's an asset class in and of itself, but you mostly know of it from the equity side.
Josh and his team at Madison launched in 2004 and have evolved from hard money lender when there was really no alternative industry called commercial real estate lending. And today they've developed into a single source capital provider with 21 billion in assets under management.
No matter how often we talk about it, the shift away from traditional bank lending cannot be overstated enough. And I think Josh gets into great detail here about how it's not an all-or-nothing story when it comes to real estate.
