including acquisition, entitlement, financing, and fundraising.
Currently focusing on commercial lending, Jay continues to leverage his extensive network,
representing government agencies, national banks, insurance companies, and hedge funds
in managing defaulted loans, loss mitigation, and asset disposition. His comprehensive
knowledge ensures that whether you're navigating your first home purchase, apartment
