Vicky Chrisner replied to Carlos H. Silva Sr.'s discussion Is Commercial REO On The Rise?
"I haven't seen it yet, but it's coming. And, with the lack of commercial debt available to potential purchasers, I personally think we're about to have real trouble. We need to loosen the purse strings on commercial debt, or no one - even banks -…"
