We are in a hybrid world, neither fully remote nor fully back in the office. So how do our traditional due diligence processes and policies adapt to the new abnormal, not least when it comes to onboarding new institutional investor relationships? What are real estate investment managers successfully doing to ease the process for LPs and themselves, and what have been unexpected challenges to overcome.
