The Dallas / Fort Worth multifamily market is at the top of the country’s list for multifamily investment. Due to sustained job and population growth, local housing demand remains at or near an all time high. While there is some concern of over-saturation, there is no sign of a slowdown. And yet high construction costs and the expanding affordability gap have prompted many to look beyond to emerging sub-markets that show more upside potential.
Marcus & Millichap / IPA Multifamily Forum: Dallas / Fort Worth presents actionable strategies to thrive among oversupply and increased competition, including tactics for dealing with rising interest rates, high construction costs and slowing rent growth. Among the many topics are issues and trends in capital projects and property management including rising expectations from renters, as well as a review the latest investment opportunities in and around North Texas and within DFW submarkets, including Frisco, McKinney/Allen, Uptown, Downtown and Rockwall, among others.
This year we are excited to announce a special joint keynote with Roger Staubach and his son, Jeff Staubach, who leads real estate investment firm Staubach Capital. Join us on October 25th at the Westin Galleria in Dallas to connect with other national and regional multifamily owners, investors and developers active in the Dallas / Fort Worth region.
