Interest rates, shifting valuations, changing lending conditions, economic uncertainty — the headlines are everywhere. But capital and closing are two sides of the same deal, and few people see both sides as clearly as the lenders funding it and the settlement teams closing it.

Join John V. Santilli, Chief Production Officer at Unitas Funding, alongside Jeff Lanier and TJ Harrington of Stewart Lender Services, for Beyond the Headlines, a candid conversation about what they're seeing firsthand — from underwriting decisions to closing timelines — in today's real estate and lending environment.

Attendees will hear perspectives on:

• The state of today's real estate market and which trends are actually moving deals for investors
• How current lending conditions are affecting access to capital, and what's changing in underwriting
• Why closing and draw timelines are becoming as important as rate in today's environment
• Where opportunities are emerging for fix-and-flip, bridge, and new construction investors despite continued uncertainty
• What experienced investors and brokers are doing differently to navigate today's environment
• Market signals worth watching versus headlines that may be creating unnecessary noise
• What could shape the months ahead, and how investors can position their next deal
