The 2024 iREOC Annual Membership Meeting is a "members only" event designed to provide a platform for candid discussions among real estate operating companies, institutional investors and their investment managers on forming and running more profitable and productive REOC partnership investments.

We trust you understand that these (and our related event policies) have always been designed to ensure we can create the kind of unique, special experience for all attendees we’ve always been known for.

“REOC partnerships have been a key component of most investor portfolios since the beginning of the institutional real estate investment industry, particularly in value-add and opportunistic strategies, but there’s never been an industry organization dedicated exclusively to advancing this dynamic segment of the market. iREOC is filling that void and the inaugural membership meeting in Park City set an exceptional standard for future events.”

Michael Levy, CEO, Crow Holdings
