Where’s the Value?: Finding Hard-to-See Investment Opportunities in the Southeast U.S.

Over the past couple of years, few places in the country have seen more deal activity than the Southeastern U.S. But now, with the majority of class B and C deals being picked over and record pricing on marketed deals, transaction volume down has dropped from its 2017 peak. With competition for deals at “cutthroat levels,” dealmakers need to think outside the box in terms of property type and location in order to still stay active in the market. Where and how can investors find new deals that make sense?

• ▪ Beyond 285: Which specific markets outside of Atlanta have room to run?
• ▪ Let’s Make a Deal: How can buyers and sellers both achieve their goals in this current climate?
• ▪ Movement in the Music City: Does Nashville still have staying power?
• ▪ [South] Carolina in My Mind: How South Carolina might be the next “it” market?
• ▪ North Florida’s Renaissance: What’s driving this region’s real estate activity?
