Join us in April!
Join us at the Marcus & Millichap / IPA Multifamily Forum: Midwest in Chicago. First held in 2013, the conference consistently brings together 400+ multifamily executives from across the Midwest and Chicagoland, as well as national multifamily owners, investors and developers active in the Midwest markets.
This year, we look at new challenges and opportunities in the apartment industry in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio & Wisconsin. In addition, we will look at the burgeoning single family build to rent sector.
The conference addresses road blocks in the real estate capital markets today due to increased interest rates, as well as the impact a recession could have on rents and occupancy. We will also look at ongoing, chronic issues in new development, as well as the hunt for increasingly rare value-add deals that pencil out. We wrap up the day with an all-important Macro Trends panel that looks at the major headwinds and tailwinds impacting the industry’s performance in the coming years.
Join your fellow owners, investors and developers on April 27 in Chicago at the Midwest Multifamily Forum for a day of in-person learning, idea sharing, deal making and networking. Remote access via webcast and recordings are also available.
Register today at the early rate!
