Key moments

Read the management remarks selected from the transcript.

“Yeah, and then on the same store, Jay, it's really kind of three different things moving it. You know, one, I've talked about it before, you know, the same store pool is relatively small, a couple hundred thousand and a quarter is a hundred bips of growth.” Philip Mays, CFO
“Yeah, I think actually the industry environment is going to help us as far as deal flow when we want to replace some of the structured investments. I think a lot of borrowers, developers, banking on lower rates to refi, and when that's not going to happen, we may be in a situation where we can provide some solutions there. So, I think it's going to be more opportunity for us in the future rather than less.” John Albright, CEO
