What types of investment firms will become more active in multifamily over the next 12 months? What impact (if any) will the presidential election have on the industry? Who is selling? What are the innovative design strategies in multifamily today? And, what level of financing can we expect from Fannie, Freddie and the regional banks over the next 12 months?

The Second Annual Southeast Apartment Summit will bring together 350+ senior-level commercial real estate executives who seek new opportunities and new business relationships in emerging Atlanta markets, suburban markets and emerging Southeast/Carolina markets.
