Key Points

  • Rising construction costs and government policies are significantly impacting the availability and development of affordable housing in South Florida, creating challenges for middle- and lower-income residents.
  • Apex Money Lending Group's expansion into Colorado's commercial real estate market aims to support local developers with tailored loan solutions, fostering sustainable growth and economic development.
  • The introduction of semi-liquid real estate funds is opening up private market investments to retail investors, offering a balance of liquidity and access to traditionally illiquid assets like property, though it carries inherent risks.
