I'm sharing Crown's March Asset-Based Financing Report covering 26 transactions totaling $1.7 billion in our market. March's announcements track well our most recent published market map of the nonbank ABL market, shown here: https://lnkd.in/euPA8k5x Re: SVB - one of my favorite storylines in lender finance is how after being on the ropes, Silicon Valley Bank has just dominated the fintech warehouse market over the last year. I feel like 25% of Lender Finance Linkedin is Brian Foley announcing deals. Since last June, my colleague Jay Diesto, CPA has taken this report from an internal only email, to something now shared with a few hundred subscribers. Over the next year, he will be adding in new features and more analysis.

As Automated Valuation Models (AVMs) continue to play a pivotal role in home equity lending, understanding and navigating the increased regulatory focus on these tools is more important than ever. With a spotlight on AVM accuracy and bias, lenders must be proactive in adopting compliant practices. Key focus areas include: Selecting AVMs that utilize multiple models to ensure accuracy and reduce bias. Regular independent testing of AVMs to maintain credibility. Balancing AVM assessments with physical property inspections for comprehensive valuations. This approach helps lenders stay aligned with evolving regulations and maintain the integrity of their valuation processes.

Would any executives in private lending be open to a call/open forum to discuss all we have learned while navigating this unpredictable private lending market the past 2 years? I would love to share notes and insight. There are a several topics I would love to cover and process with other industry pros. To name a few… I can acutely recall a DSCR deal that in a matter of weeks from 4.125% to 6.25% in February 2022… What happened to Alpha Flow… Do we see a consolidation in our industry coming up or did Roc360 just seize an opportunity… What happens to a balance sheet private lender when they get bought by a REIT/go public… Dillon Freeman, CFA Rocky Butani James Gaskin Mark Woodbridge Rachael Holladay American Association of Private Lenders Chris Ragland
