A Market Defined by Higher Costs

Operators now face narrower spreads, a shifting cap rate environment, and investors who demand disciplined underwriting. Christina’s panel will examine how to balance acquisition opportunities with disciplined risk management. From rethinking financing structures to targeting value-add plays, the conversation is positioned to deliver strategies that speak directly to investors seeking durable returns.
