Hello, I’m Matthew Adair. If I contacted you about scheduling a 1-hour research interview, here are all the details!
Doctoral Research:
Examining the dynamics between developers and their financing partners
I am currently conducting confidential interviews with a variety of CRE industry experts—including developers, underwriters, fund managers, brokers, and others—working in the United States or Canada.
The interviews will discuss your personal experience, perceptions, and opinions as a finance professional and/or real estate investor. You’ll have the opportunity to share your personal perspectives on investment, development, and financing topics.
What is the purpose
of my study?
The purpose of the study is to investigate the real estate investment strategies of finance professionals, in particular how they interact with the property development process for new market-rate multifamily construction.
The consent form.
Read through detailed information about the study and provide your consent for the confidential recorded interview.
What kind of questions will you be asking me?
Some interviews will use questions like these, while others may focus on more general information like the role you have in property development and fundamental principles of market rate financing.
