Revere Capital Managing Director of Real Estate, Jeff Salladin, attended the InterFace Carolinas Multifamily conference May 22, 2024 in Charlotte, NC. The conference agenda addressed the overall economic and demographic trends and how they will impact the outlook for multifamily property across the Carolinas. Specific areas of discussion included options for finding affordable capital, the lending environment for acquisitions and new construction and the impact on occupancy and rental rates as new inventory comes online.
Jeff’s key takeaways from the conference were as follows:
- Overall deal volume is up from last year, but still behind historical, ordinary figures.
- Everyone – borrowers and lenders – seem to be operating in a more predictable environment, so deal volume is up. That said, there is still uncertainty around interest rates and how banks and other asset managers will manage their portfolios.
- There is currently heavy supply, which will moderate rents for the next two years or so, but then expect rents to pop as the supply is filled up.
How is Revere Capital positioned to take advantage of these insights:
- There are opportunities to lend on recently constructed deals during lease up.
- The banks attending the conference described continued head winds. As a private debt fund, Revere is not hindered by the same constraints as traditional lenders and thus is well positioned to provide the flexible capital the market requires in this unique season.
