Outlook and Exploration of Debt Financing in Today’s Real Estate Investment Environment
Billions of institutional investment monies have poured into real estate debt investments during the past 5 years. Pension Real Estate Association’s 2022 survey reflected 39.1% of institutional investors sentiments that debt investments in real estate have become more attractive than equity investments in the wake of the pandemic. A prominent leader in Debt Financing dubbed debt as the real estate investment industry's superfood. "It may not be as appetizing as equity, but it's really good for your portfolios."
How has the more recent flurry of interest rate hikes and inflationary environment impacted the way institutional investors view the use of debt in their investment portfolios? What does this mean for those who buy/sell/lease commercial real estate in the DMV area and nationally? What is the outlook for real estate values today, and how will debt strategies evolve going forward? Will there be a shift towards more equity investments? Among pension fund and larger institutional investors, will there be a shift out of real estate into other asset classes as a result of the interest rate environment, and if so, where?
Our dynamic panel of experts will discuss the competitive landscape for debt, from both private equity and banking perspective, and answer these questions and many more. Come join us and bring us your questions for these experts.
