What It’s About:
In today's climate, developers are looking beyond the usual sources of equity for other possibilities, and there are some decidedly non-traditional options out there. Developers are turning to crowdfunding services and EB-5, the immigrant investor visa program, to raise equity for their projects. During this session, you'll discover how these programs work and if this is an option for your future multifamily development.

What You'll Learn:
Understand the size and type of deal that would qualify for these investment funds.
Examine projects that have successfully used crowdfunding to raise cash for a development project and explore the ins and outs of the process.
Learn more about the EB-5 program, including its benefits for developers and immigrant investors, and its constraints for development.
