How to Thrive in Choppy Waters

Drone Strikes & Fed Policy

Real estate markets - lenders and borrowers - benefit from stability.

This past year has been anything but:

• Inflation substantially tops Fed targets, driving all rates higher;

• Refinancing challenges are about to widen as low rates from 2021-22 production roll over requiring write-downs or equity infusions to cover higher debt service;

• Data centers are consuming most construction dollars with investment payoff outlooks based on unpredictable technology trends;

• The macro backdrop including Mideast energy flows and reimposed tariffs further challenge lenders and investors in real estate.

The 32nd Annual Debt Capital presentation addresses these questions straight on. During this diverse panel, you’ll hear impassioned speakers argue the bull and bear consequences of our complicated market and give you a clearer image of your own investment decisions.
