Two-Day Real Estate and Direct Lending Forum Offered March 4-5 by Florida Alternative Investment Association

MIAMI, Jan. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- In a year when a surging U.S. economy is again creating growth opportunities in real estate and lending, the Florida Alternative Investment Association is offering an exclusive two-day forum for family office and private wealth managers who are seeking steady returns from the sector.

The Real Estate & Direct Lending Forum 2019 will take place March 4-5 at the conference facilities of the iconic Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, FL. The forum is designed to give managers an insider's look at what to expect from the industry, as well as an overview of trends in direct and institutional lending strategies.

"With unemployment rates continuing to plunge, tax rates at record lows and a continuing appetite for growth in the industrial, office and multi-family segments of real estate, there is no time like the present to size up the investment opportunities in real estate and direct lending for the balance of the New Year," said Michael Corcelli, Founder and Chairman of FLAIA and Managing Partner of Alexander Alternative Capital in Miami.

Scheduled agenda topics include:

  • Disruption of the Airbnb Model
  • Commercial Real Estate Development
  • Tokenization of Real Estate
  • Real Estate Technology
  • Economic Opportunity Zones
  • Traditional Bank Financing vs. Direct Lending
  • Asset Based Lending
  • Blockchain's Impact on Lenders and Borrowers
  • Small Business and Corporate Lending
  • 2019 Direct Lending Opportunities and Trends

The conference is divided into two forums:

The first day's event, March 4, is entitled Real Estate Finance and Private Wealth Forum, and will provide participants with a forecast of industry macroeconomic trends and opportunities.

The Direct Lending Forum will be March 5th, where participants will discuss: Best Practices and Industry Developments; Asset Based Lending in the Emerging Global Economy; Private Debt Funds; Managing Private Credit; and Senior Lending Strategies.
