About The Conference
iGlobal Forum was pleased to host the upcoming Best Practices for Real Estate Capital Investment: Fundraising, EB-5 and Real Estate Joint Ventures seminar series on October 31st, 2017 in New York City. There are several financing models for real estate private equity firms to explore with developers or project sponsors – whether it be structured fundraising, a real estate join venture or EB-5 financing. The popularity of real estate joint ventures is on the upswing due to a surplus of capital and a shortage of good deals. But caution is being exercised when it comes to both fundraising and joint venture partnering with all parties taking particular care when structuring deals. From an EB-5 perspective, there are considerable opportunities for real estate developers, private equity firms, REITs, investors or service providers to gain from the increasing EB-5 trend. U.S. real estate continues to burgeon due foreign investment as a result of the EB-5 Immigrant Investor program. iGlobal Forum’s Best Practices for Real Estate Capital Investment: Fundraising, EB-5 and Real Estate Joint Ventures seminar series will give you greater insight into critical success factors for fundraising, joint ventures and EB-5 partnering in the current economic and real estate climate. These workshops provide an intimate format that is conducive to learning, sharing experiences, and sourcing business partners. You will meet and network directly with senior-level representatives from real estate private equity firms, developers and project sponsors, real estate owners & operators, senior & mezzanine lenders, institutional investors and family offices, asset managers and allocators, attorneys and accountants.
