Pre-Conference Workshop #2: Real Estate Marketplace Investing - Opportunities & Challenges
Marketplace investing in real estate, whether through secured debt products or as equity investment, is rapidly growing both in number of players and capital deployed. Online platforms matching real estate investors with borrowers and project sponsors have gained a foothold in certain niche areas, such as residential fix and flip projects and small commercial loans, and are expanding into additional products and real estate asset types including residential mortgages and larger commercial loans. While many see opportunities to provide accessible capital to the real estate industry and greater investment choices to individuals, challenges have also become apparent, including adopting an internet-based model to an historically relationship-driven industry, navigating the regulatory environment, working with traditional providers of capital, and preparing for a downturn in the cyclical real estate world. Join the discussion as C-level executives and other industry experts provide insights into the latest developments in real estate marketplace investing, covering topics including:
- Investment products offered through real estate marketplaces, including returns offered, term of investment, and default protection.
- Asset classes financed and experience with real estate borrowers and sponsors.
- The intersection between marketplace investing and more traditional providers of real estate funding, including marketplace-provided pieces in a larger capital stack.
- Regulatory challenges and developments.
- Predictions for the future, including thoughts on consolidation and specialization, the addition of more investment types and products, and continued interaction with other capital providers.
