In this episode, Chris LeRoy and Alex deMarco sit down with Ian Glaser, Partner and Investment Committee Member at BridgeInvest, to explore how the Miami-based real estate credit manager is navigating one of the most attractive lending environments in over a decade. Founded in the aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis, BridgeInvest has grown into a vertically integrated, senior-secured lending platform with more than $2.5 billion invested across 160 loans. Ian discusses the firm’s disciplined focus on capital preservation, consistent yield generation, and hands-on management throughout the lending lifecycle. He also shares insights on how BridgeInvest’s direct sourcing, vertical integration, and LP-aligned culture have driven a near-zero loss ratio and long-term outperformance. The conversation covers today’s opportunities in recapitalizations, development financing, and transitional assets, as well as BridgeInvest’s expansion through its new open-ended Credit Fund V designed for flexibility and enduring performance
