LADERA RANCH, CA—Despite strong investor appetite for US real estate, both domestically and overseas, lenders are being a bit more cautious in their underwriting since they expect values to soften at some point, Money360's CEO Evan Gentry tells GlobeSt.com. The firm closed $143 million in loans in the second quarter, marking its best quarter to date.

Money360 has now closed more than $350 million in total loans and is on pace to close more than $500 million by the end of the year. On average, the company is now closing $50 million in loans each month. We spoke with Gentry about how lenders are viewing CRE financing for the second half of the year and their greatest concerns about the market at this point.
