Earlier this month, the PPR team attended BPCON 2024, BiggerPockets’ annual conference designed for real estate investors of all levels. We attend this event each year for the networking, insightful panels and workshops, as well as topical updates on the changing real estate market. Here are our takeaways and insights from this year’s event.
Key Takeaways
Inflation, interest rates, and portfolio strategies dominated this year’s discussions:
- Speakers addressed the interest rate environment for residential, commercial, and multifamily real estate from a macro-economic perspective.
- Many conversations centered around tax implications and finding the right strategy for your investment portfolio.
- In addition to panel discussions, there were several workshops focused on:
- Short-term rentals
- Long-term buy and holds
- Vetting deals
- Finding the right business partner
- Underwriting for multifamily deals
- Women in real estate
Insights
The PPR team gained valuable insights on the real estate investment environment throughout the event:
- A recurring theme throughout the conference focused on the importance of choosing the right operators and performing due diligence on potential investment opportunities.
- There were several success stories of new-to-real estate investors who pivoted their careers during the pandemic and are now successful mid-term and short-term rental owners.
- Many of these investors took advantage of low interest rates in lower cost of living areas and are now looking into passive income streams in real estate.
- The use of self-directed IRAs (SDIRA) as a form of passive income for investors looking to diversify their retirement places was a key focus
At the event, the PPR team was able to discuss and highlight our first of several upcoming Opportunity Funds, showcasing the benefits of accelerated depreciation and partnering with trusted operators, in addition to our flagship Reliant Income Fund. Overall, the BiggerPockets community remains steadfast in its support of investors at all stages of their investment journey, one of the many reasons why we enjoy going to this conference year after year.
