John Isakson, PAC’s Chief Financial Officer added, “Our real estate loan investment program continues to be an accretive investment strategy and a consistent pipeline of multifamily product for our acquisition platform. Our team has developed a broad base of well-respected borrowers who continue to bring us quality transactions. The pipeline of transactions should provide us with a range of opportunities to backfill the deals that are paying off and grow the book further as we move into 2022.”
