Recession Signals, Resilient Lending
GoDocs’ Monthly Marketing Minute digs into the trends impacting lending in 2025.
Contradictions are everywhere. Recession warnings are mounting, slow GDP, rising delinquencies, and inflation uncertainty, but commercial lending? It’s heating up.
In the latest episode of the GoDocs Monthly Market Minute, host Keith Mayer sits down with GoDocs’ Head of Business Strategies & Partnerships Ren R Hayhurst to unpack what’s really happening in the market, and why lenders are charging forward despite the economic noise.
What you’ll hear:
- Why inflation forecasts are swinging wildly, and how trade policy is driving the volatility.
- The surprising surge in bridge, DSCR, and fix-and-flip lending.
- How smart lenders are adopting an “insurance company” mindset: proactive covenant monitoring, borrower engagement, and boots-on-the-ground asset inspections.
- A breakdown of the SBA’s new lending rules—and how tighter credit checks and personal guarantee changes are reshaping deal structures.
- Why $250B may flow into real estate this year as investors seek safer ground.
Spoiler alert: This isn’t 2008. There’s capital, demand, and opportunity—if you know where to look.
“This is not a market for guesswork. It’s a market for preparation and precision.”
~ Ren R Hayhurst
