Imn Real Estate Conferences provide the ideal venue to keep up-to-date on industry trends or make a break into real estate for beginners alike. By convening both industry veterans and newcomers alike, IMN events foster meaningful professional connections, knowledge transfer, and exchange.
This week marked the inaugural IMN AI in Real Estate Conference held at New York’s Union League Club. Packed with panels discussing how artificial intelligence (AI) can help real estate firms enhance operations and increase efficiency, this conference also discussed its ongoing development as well as what this will mean for its impact on future industry developments.
One panel discussed different approaches to Single Family Rental (SFR) investing. Cyrus Shahabi from Lafayette Real Estate stressed the importance of adopting a long-term outlook when purchasing SFRs; specifically he stated that buying brand new homes from builders with low leverage ensures his portfolio will have strong cash flows and returns. Ron Lamontagne from Partners Group highlighted benefits associated with investing in SFRs located within established subdivisions at off-market prices as well as using “Build-to-Rent”, an approach where pre-sold builder inventory is purchased then renovated before renting it out as rental income streams.
This event provided an incredible opportunity to hear the insights of various investors and service providers within the SFR investment space. Attending this conference should be mandatory for anyone involved with SFR investing.
Notable events this week included the 12th edition of IMN’s highly successful Single Family Rental Investment conference (East). This annual conference, considered the premier East Coast SFR conference, brought together SFR investors (including those using Short Term Rental “STR”, BRRRR Method, and Build-to-Rent (“BTR”) as well as lenders and industry leaders to discuss recent developments and industry investment strategies.
This week saw another outstanding event: the 2024 IMN Women in Commercial Real Estate conference. Held annually, this annual conference showcases female CRE executives as well as rising industry talent; offering plenty of networking opportunities as well as an all-women speaker faculty.
