Mission Capital Advisors Real Estate boosted its Debt & Equity Finance Group with the addition of Brad Lyons and Rob Beyer as directors.
Month: February 2013
Home prices closed out 2012 with solid gains, according to a prominent industry report released Tuesday, cementing the notion that a once-feeble housing recovery continues to gain momentum. “The sustained housing price increases speak to the influence of investor money in reducing inventory and triggering previously reluctant home buyers to act before prices rise beyond their affordability,” Luis Vergara, wrote managing director of New York-based Mission Capital Advisors.
The Verizon building on West 50th Street (brokerage by Mission Capital) is one of two successful financings last month that set the stage for what is looking like a significantly healthier real estate lending market this year.
Mission Capital Advisors’ Debt and Finance Group recently added Brad Lyons and Rob Beyer as directors. MHN speaks to Lyons and Beyer about current trends regarding institutional investors in multifamily.
