The U.S. multifamily sector continues to attract capital, but the current environment of elevated interest rates and compressed margins demands new strategies. Investors, developers, and operators are reassessing the dynamics of risk and return while searching for durable yield. On November 15–16, the NCC IQ “ReInvested: Navigating Growth, Risk, and Return in U.S. Multifamily Real Estate” virtual event will bring together over 40 influential voices across real estate, technology, and finance. CEOs, fund managers, developers, and innovators will share forward-looking perspectives on multifamily growth and the structural shifts shaping the sector.
Among the distinguished speakers is Mark Hayes, Founding President of Bridge South Investments, LLC, and GP and Fund Manager of Bridge South Capital Fund, LLC. With over 20 years of investing experience across acquisitions, property management, asset management, and financing, Hayes has built a reputation for structuring resilient investment vehicles that serve both institutional and entrepreneurial investors. His firms specialize in bridge loans, multifamily, mobile home parks, and debt for hard money lending, with a focus on the Southeastern United States.
Mark will join the panel session “The Hunt for Yield: Finding Multifamily Deals in a High-Cost Capital Environment,” scheduled for November 16, 3:10–4:00 PM EST. This discussion will address how investors can identify viable opportunities while balancing the realities of higher borrowing costs, inflationary pressures, and shifting tenant demand.
Why This Session Matters
Capital flows into multifamily remain robust, yet the playbook is changing. Deals are harder to source, financing structures require greater scrutiny, and operators must adapt to a tighter cost of capital. The session featuring Mark and fellow leaders will provide practical perspectives on:
Where yield still exists in the multifamily space despite higher costs of capital
Financing structures that align investor expectations with today’s rate environment
Asset classes and geographies that continue to attract capital inflows
Risk management practices for underwriting in an environment of uncertainty
