Welcome!

This session sets the tone for the conference, focusing on the sources of capital and its costs as we enter 2026. Panelists will cover securitizations, forward flow structures, warehouse and bank lines, and whole loan buyers—plus how rate movements, credit spreads, and macro conditions are impacting RTL, DSCR, and small-balance commercial execution. The goal is to give lenders and investors a realistic view of the next 12 months.

An amazing opportunity to network and build valuable connections with sponsors, guests, brokers, and network with new contacts.

This event is for all attendees.

This panel is designed for private lenders in the growth stage who want to scale volume without creating operational or credit drift. Panelists will share practical guidance on strengthening capital strategy, refining credit policy, and building repeatable processes across underwriting, closing, post-close, and servicing—with a key focus on warehouse lines, including readiness, borrowing base eligibility, covenants, collateral files, and reporting cadence. Attendees will leave with tangible tactics they can implement immediately to optimize execution, reduce friction, and support responsible growth.

This session is designed for mortgage loan originators and residential-focused brokers who are beginning to encounter investor, DSCR, and small-balance commercial opportunities but aren’t yet confident placing those deals. The President of the Florida Association of Mortgage Professionals, Orlando Diaz, will walk you through how private lending and commercial investor products fit alongside conventional offerings, how to recognize investor/DSCR opportunities already in your pipeline, and how to take the first steps in building a repeatable business in this space.

This workshop is designed for brokers who want to sharpen their approach to private real estate lending and operate with more consistency from intake to close. This is a structured workshop format with short, focused mini-sessions—built to deliver clear frameworks and practical takeaways. Attendees will also receive resources and tools to support stronger deal execution and smoother lender communication after the session.

This panel zooms in on where actual borrower demand is showing up and which products are winning mandates. Lenders and investors will discuss trends across fix-and-flip, bridge, DSCR, construction, land, and small-balance commercial, with emphasis on what’s closing—where it’s closing, and why.

Join us for a delicious catered lunch.

Lunch is for all attendees.

This conversation focuses on the tech and infrastructure behind competitive lenders in 2026: LOS/CRM choices, doc automation, underwriting rules engines, servicing integrations, and data providers. Panelists will show where automation and AI are actually delivering speed and accuracy—and where they are still “nice-to-have” vs. essential.

Give brokers and investors direct, no-middleman access to lenders across the full spectrum of programs—DSCR, fix-and-flip, ground-up construction, land, large commercial, cannabis, foreclosure/auction, and more. The focus is educational: what each lender actually funds, where their products fit in today’s market, and exactly how to submit a clean file. Every table represents a distinct niche or product set, so attendees leave knowing who to call, what to send, and how to move live deals forward.

This panel dives into risk management across the lifecycle: origination, closing, construction, and servicing. Panelists will address fraud trends and broader risk concerns, including title and settlement risk, construction risk, valuation risk, and borrower performance tracking.

An amazing networking opportunity where you can close out the day with an opportunity to meet and have a drink with sponsors, guests, brokers, and network with new contacts.

This event is for all attendees.

Time to celebrate with cocktails, dancing, and great entertainment.
