MULTIFAMILY: RESILIENCY DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, there’s been worthy concern amongst property owners about whether or not tenants could continue to fulfill their rental obligations due to anticipated job losses and financial hardships reeling from the current health crisis.
After months of carefully monitoring the situation and the trends apparent across many markets, it’s clear to us that properties located in high-quality markets have fared relatively well. We believe that this occurrence is acutely tied to a strong renter demographic base in such areas. Specifically, this includes well-educated, well-employed individuals who tend to have more stability in their finances and are less likely to face immediate financial hardships that would lead them to have to default on rent.
During our session, you’ll hear more about the broader implications of these trends and what we believe this means for the future of multifamily real estate values as we look ahead.

The Fund seeks to invest in a portfolio of multifamily development properties located in high job and population growth markets in partnership with best-in-class institutional developers. Upon stabilization of such investments, provide regular distributions of current income from cash from operations to investors, realize long-term capital appreciation in the value of the investments upon disposition, and manage risks appropriately to preserve and return the investors aggregate capital contributions, all while capitalizing on potential tax benefits including, but not limited to, deferral and/or elimination of capital gains as provided under the QOZ rules.

REDEFINING HOMEOWNERSHIP IN 2020
It’s been said, “opportunity is created in the midst of chaos.” As a startup remodeler turned homebuilder in 2007-2008, very few know this as well as Megatel. Born amid the great recession, the company’s focus on building innovation and out-of-the-box thinking empowered its founders to capitalize on the opportunity to develop single-family communities and create great success. While the 2020 economy isn’t 2008, it’s certainly experiencing its share of challenges. This is why the Megatel team is driven to work even harder, seizing opportunities with the same innovative focus during these unprecedented times and positioning itself for future success.
In this session, we will discuss the state of the housing market, the impacts of Covid-19 on the sector, and how Megatel is leading in the current environment amid record-low interest rates and historically tight residential inventory.

NEXPOINT’S OUTLOOK PERFORMANCE IN 2020 & BEYOND
NexPoint is a leader in real estate alternatives with 27 years of experience and nearly $10 billion in real estate acquisitions. NexPoint manages a suite of alternative real estate products, including multifamily DST 1031 Exchanges, a premier life science real estate co-invest private offering, and our $1 billion workforce single family rental (SFR) private offering, VineBrook Homes Trust. VineBrook is a leading SFR platform providing affordable housing to workforce tenants primarily in the mid-west and south with a portfolio of over 8,500 homes. VineBrook captures the fundamental mispricing of workforce SFR assets in the U.S. due to the supply-demand imbalances and fragmentation in the market through the lack of institutional ownership. These assets are acquired at discount to replacement cost and at capitalization rates significantly higher than comparable multifamily assets. The workforce SFR sector has been boosted by the expansion of the U.S. rental base as well as the lack of affordable housing options in the country. VineBrook generates attractive income from rental operations with capital appreciation potential by capitalizing on these factors.
