ACREL Files 2.0 continues with Jay Epstien’s interview of Len O’Donnell, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Affinius Capital (formerly USAA Real Estate Company). Len oversees the company's approximately $35 billion of assets under management for the benefit of the investment portfolio and its 200+ investor clients. Prior to joining USAA Real Estate in 2011, Len was a Principal and Chief Investment Officer for Crimson Real Estate Fund, a real estate opportunity fund which specialized in value-added acquisitions and build-to-suit development. Len earned his B.S. in Business Administration from the University of Delaware.

Join us to hear Len’s reflections on a 38 year career spanning real estate brokerage, development and investment that shaped his insights on the challenges facing the real estate markets today. Len’s observations on why the current state of play is very different from the Global Financial Crisis and why people should not get all of their real estate information from CNBC without understanding the underlying fundamentals, will be of great interest to our listeners.
