Thank you to all our FLAIA Members and the FLAIA Board for their support during these challenging times.

Real Estate, Direct Lending and Private Debt are 3 legs of the alternative investment industry and over the past 10 years each of these legs have grown to have a much more profound impact on Main Street. Perhaps these 3 legs have been the hardest hit part of the overall alternative investment industry. Today, because of the lack of real time liquidity and real time price discovery this Forum is the most important conversation for global investors to join. Most investors have exposure to real estate through equity and credit vehicles and amid a crisis, no one has all the answers today. We are determined to bring clarity, truth, facts and experience from the front line by the most talented investment managers.

  • Opportunities in Multifamily as the Country Reopens
    10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
    Panel
    View Details

    The pandemic has created significant problems for certain classes of real estate and while multifamily real estate has fared better than most, the impact of Covid on other sectors has created issues in the debt markets and in household income that has had an impact on all sectors and the economy in general. Defaults and foreclosures leading to discounted pricing have not yet occurred to any significant degree and while additional weakness is anticipated when eviction moratoriums are removed, the multifamily market is expected to remain stable due to pent up demand, agency lending and significant liquidity attracted to the sector.

    The reason the fallout from Covid has been limited so far is largely due to actions taken by lenders, asset managers and tenants to work cooperatively in developing payment plans and workout solutions in lieu of taking more extreme measures.

    • Changes in the market since March 2020 in terms of sales activities, acquisition opportunities, cap rates and debt markets
    • Asset classes and markets experiencing the most stress, expectations of fallout as compared to past recessions
    • Discussion regarding the impact of Covid on construction/renovation projects as well as supply chain
    • Covid challenges in asset management and operational changes made to meet the challenges

    Speakers: Gideon Pfeffer, Chris Loeffler, Sheryl Morehead, and Ana Bozovic

    As a non-depository credit institution, Ignite Funding differs from crowdfunding models as it offers a true collateralized investment, Trust Deeds. Over the past year, the real estate market has been affected in many ways. Investors are searching for consistent yield but are unsure of which markets to invest in.

    Ignite Funding works with a handful of Borrowers with a proven track record. It follows a strict underwriting process when evaluating its loans before they are presented to Ignite Funding Investors on a matrix that includes, but is not limited to; location, market conditions, various valuation methodologies, Borrower track record and financial condition, and exit strategy.

    Learn how Ignite Funding gives investors access to commercial Real Estate opportunities in a much more efficient way through Trust Deeds!

    • What is a Trust Deed
    • Why investors choose Trust Deeds versus other real estate investments
    • How Trust deeds are collateralized and valued
    • What happens if a borrower stops paying
    • What happens if a borrower stops paying
