Episode Summary
We had the pleasure of sitting down with Douglas Lyons, Managing Principal at Pearlmark. Doug shared his insights on various aspects of real estate investment, starting with his background and journey from Transwestern Investment Company to Pearlmark Real Estate Partners.
Doug provided valuable insights into what to look for in a market when considering investment opportunities. We also touched on why Pearlmark is comfortable financing mass timber projects such as Bakers Place when others might not due to the novelty of the construction type.
