Summary

What does the current and uncertain geo-political environment, the weakend pound, and a Trump presidency mean to investors' portfolio investments? While London remains an epicenter for global investments, where do the risks and opportunities lie? How does London stack up nationally? Who's investing, who's lending, and where are they doing it? What does it take to get a deal done in today's market? 

Please join some of the leading international and local figures in real estate for a real-time look at the domestic and foreign investment markets. Our all-star panelists will address who the key foreign buyers are and their sweet spots, the feasibility of achieving value add returns in secondary markets, and what kinds of deal terms and structures are being seen.

As always, enjoy lots of networking and schmooze time before and after the program!
