Please join us as we explore the growth of real estate platforms over time.

We will discuss the life cycle and processes involved in growing your business from “one-off” transactions to a fund structure; ascertaining effective investment offerings and business practices. Our program will begin with a presentation on the pending SEC proposed rule, mandated by the JOBS Act, to lift the “general solicitation” ban on private capital raising. We hope you can join us for this highly informative program.
