In this exclusive interview, Brendan discusses the drivers behind the demand for non-bank lenders in financing U.S. home building. He explains the size of the opportunity set for investors to fund construction and development and the parts of the market and the types of builders they focus on, and why. Brendan also shares how Pretium is uniquely positioned in originating, underwriting, executing, asset managing and servicing their loan book, and how that sets them apart in the market.
Watch the full interview where we ask Brendan:
What is prompting the need for private credit in homebuilding now and why are traditional banks backing away?
There are many types of builders and dispersion across geographies. What factors do you believe non-bank lenders should be across? How large is this opportunity?
Can you walk us through how you underwrite and manage these loans?
Is homebuilder lending part of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act currently pending review? If passed as it stands, would that help or hinder homebuilder lending?
Do you believe that real estate debt, considered asset backed, should be part of a multi sector ABF approach?
