For years, multifamily was the "golden ticket" of real estate investing, until the market shifted. With high interest rates and changing debt structures, the aggressive strategies of the past few years no longer work.

At this February GRID Cleveland event, hosted by Erin Thomas and Wayne Brooks, we are moving past the headlines to look at the math. We will discuss why the hype has faded, how leverage is impacting deals right now, and how the smartest investors are pivoting their strategies to find profitability in 2026.

• Why multifamily lost its hype: How rates, debt, and over-leveraging changed the multifamily landscape.

• Where multifamily still works—and where it doesn’t: A look at small vs. large multifamily, market selection, and smarter underwriting.

• How investors are adjusting their multifamily strategies: What successful investors are doing differently in 2026 to stay profitable.

Multifamily investors, syndicators, landlords, and anyone looking to understand the new rules of engagement for multi-unit real estate.

Free to attend | Networking encouraged
