When it comes to its commercial real estate loans, Walker & Dunlop has the government on its side. The company provides commercial real estate financial services -- mainly multifamily loans for apartments, health care properties, and student housing -- to real estate owners and developers across the US. It originates and sells its products (e.g. mortgages, supplemental financing, construction loans, and mezzanine loans) primarily through government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as well as through HUD. To a lesser extent, the company originates loans for insurance companies, banks, and institutional investors.
