About this Event
Real estate investing in 2026 looks very different than it did just a few years ago.
In many markets, interest rates remain elevated, inventory dynamics are shifting, and insurance costs are rising in certain areas. As a result, many investors are asking: Is it still possible to achieve strong returns in today’s market? The answer is YES—but only if you understand where the opportunities have moved and how to structure deals correctly.
You’ll hear directly from Scott Pastel, Vice President of Real Estate at Marshall Reddick Real Estate, and our trusted lender, Reed Hazard of CMG Mortgage Inc., who work with our Real Estate Agents to help build rental portfolios for our clients in some of the hottest markets in the country. You’ll learn how experienced investors are adapting their strategies, identifying emerging markets, and continuing to build cash-flowing portfolios despite market changes.
