The Year of Variability will demand continued adaptability for multifamily investors, lenders and developers. The pandemic only accelerated investor appetite for apartments, but policy risk and demand issues in gateway cities has led to a scramble to find locations that make sense post-COVID.
Join RealPage® VP Jay Parsons and Chief Economist Greg Willett as they host our panel of industry experts, Matt Ferrari from TruAmerica, Greg West from ZOM Living and Jim Costello from RCA, to discuss the second set of our insights from our recent webcast, 21 Key Insights for 2021: An Essential Strategy Planning Guide.
Bring your questions and ideas to this live Q&A, where you will have the opportunity to ask questions of RealPage experts and leading multifamily executives.
Discussion topics include:
- Where can investors get bullish again on acquisitions?
- How to build a low-capital value-add strategy
- What types (and locations) of new development deals still make sense in 2021?
- How do eviction bans, rent controls and policy risks change the investment thesis, particularly in coastal markets?
- Why market-rate investors should be motivated to help the push for more government-funded affordable housing
