Session Overview:

Whether you're a business owner ready to buy your building or a developer planning your next acquisition, owning property can transform your long-term outlook. This panel dives into what it takes to secure a loan, navigate underwriting, and pursue ownership in a city shaped by both opportunity and disinvestment. Hear from lenders, underwriters, and owners who’ve walked this path—and get clarity on whether ownership is the right next step for you.

• Understand the steps, requirements, and expectations of the lending and underwriting process
• Explore ownership models, financing structures, and potential roadblocks
• Learn from business owners and developers who transitioned from leasing to ownership
• Assess their readiness for ownership based on finances, goals, and market conditions
