07/02/2026 - Multifamily Portfolio Strategy, 1031 Exchanges & Dispositions

This acquisitions and underwriting mastermind call focuses on making smarter multifamily portfolio decisions, including geographic concentration, 1031 exchanges, creative financing, dispositions, and off-market marketing. Investors work through the tradeoffs of consolidating scattered properties into a larger asset, discuss lessons from expanding too quickly across multiple markets, review an 800-unit disposition pipeline, and share strategies for connecting large multifamily assets with institutional buyers.
