4 Takeaways from the 2023 IMN Single Family Rental Forum East

The team at CoreVest Finance recently attended IMN East 2023 in Miami, one of the most anticipated events in the real estate investment industry. This gathering served as a dynamic platform for industry leaders, innovators, and enthusiasts to connect, share insights, and explore the latest trends shaping our industry. CoreVest was at the heart of the action, engaging in thought-provoking discussions, forging new partnerships, and gaining invaluable knowledge throughout the conference. We’re excited to share our key takeaways, insights, and experiences from this remarkable event.

1. People are still buying and investing, but at a much slower pace. Multifamily is showing signs of weakness and it is on everyone’s watch list.
– Sean Robbins

2. There is alot of interest in Section 8 Strategies. Multiple sponsors showed interest in Greater Detroit/Greater Cleveland. Sponsors are still buying in higher yielding markets.
– Ryan Harper

3. For sale home builders and student housing developers are entering the BFR space as they believe they have the systems in place for a smooth transition. There was an emphasis on lower leverage financing on both perm and construction loans. Borrowers are hoping for a significant discount in rate for their more cautious approach
– Brandon Turk

4. Many investors on the term side seem to be in a holding period. Very few people are buying/selling assets.
