12:25 PM - 1:00 PM | An Economic and Regulatory Briefing: What's Possibly Ahead for the Multifamily Sector?

Many economists and experts have expressed concerns about a mild recession in the next few years, as evident by extreme volatility in the stock market, the U.S. government’s trade policies, the recent tax reform and the impending 2020 Federal budget and other economic and workforce factors. Also, how will rent regulation reform, including Oregon’s “first in the nation” statewide rent regulation legislation impacts the state and states across the nation?

1:00 PM - 1:45 PM | The New Investment Landscape: What Are the Opportunities and Challenges that Lay Ahead for Investors?

Everyone agrees that the multifamily sector remains strong. The factors that are pushing multifamily are coming from a lot of directions, both demographically and geographically - whether it be millennials, Generation Z, or Baby Boomers looking to transition to a different lifestyle – or factors like immigration policy, centers of job growth, and transportation trends that are expected to impact population concentration – or the attraction of opportunity zones. Given these factors, the panel will provide insights into what is on the minds of investors for the opportunities and associated risks as they consider diversifying investments or geographic areas, as well as how to identify acquisition opportunities.
