The Raising Equity Roundtable will focus on navigating a capital environment defined by selectivity and rising competition, especially as the Multi-Family market moves past the period of challenges of the last two years. 

Bundlers and raisers of LP equity will have a frank conversation about strategies for securing both institutional and private capital and how to demonstrate the viability and strength of a proposed investment in a landscape where investors are cautious but opportunistic.

In this engagement-welcome setting, get ready to ask about:

• recalibrated underwriting assumptions for 2026,
• what is being funded - specific M-F asset types (A, B, C) and locations,
• the cost of raising equity, and
• how to structure joint ventures and partnerships that align interests in the current market.
