Stephen M. Renna
President & CEO
CRE Finance Council
am pleased to present to you our Winter 2016 edition of
CRE Finance World
magazine.
This issue features topics that span the many varied sectors
of our industry. Importantly, it includes a featured interview
with Jeffrey Gundlach, CEO of DoubleLine Capital. Mr. Gundlach is
widely recognized as one of the foremost experts in fixed income
investments. DoubleLine’s assets under management are over $76
billion. This includes significant allocations to commercial mortgages
and CMBS B-pieces.
You will find a collection of topics covered in this issue. Among
them a roundtable discussion on borrowing from the perspective
of leading owner operators. Also, a look at the state of the banking
sector and an article contesting the view that we are experiencing a
commercial real estate asset bubble. In keeping with CRE Finance
Council’s regulatory watch, you will find an article on regulatory
changes coming our way.
Each reader who participates in any area of our industry will find
something of value within. I trust you will enjoy the articles and
urge you to share your comments by clicking the ‘Comment Here’
link found in each piece. Your thoughts and feedback are very
important to us and help set the direction of future editions.
I want to thank all of the authors who have contributed their time
and knowledge to the excellent content of the magazine. It is this
willingness that makes
CRE Finance World
an effective tool for
information-sharing in our industry.
As we begin 2016, I encourage you to consider sponsorship of
CRE Finance World

the market and it is a successful means of displaying your industry
expertise to clients, prospects and colleagues. The advantages
of this valuable sponsorship continue to increase and today are
