Realty Mogul CEO Jilliene Helman and Ken Bodenstein discuss the 2020 election, the results that show Joe Biden as President-Elect and Kamala Harris as Vice President-Elect, and what it means for commercial real estate. Ken describes the ramifications of the upcoming fork in the road depending on who wins the special run-off elections for control of the Senate in Georgia. They also consider what the focus of the Biden Administration might be and how their priorities will impact on real estate investors through 2021 and beyond.

“Although there is a light at the end of the tunnel and although six months into the future things will look pretty good the next three to four months still look very difficult.” - Ken Bodenstein
