Name: How A Few Tweaks Have Exploded The CRE Financing Business
Start: 2025-05-13T23:00:00.000Z
Location: St. Pat's Bar & Grill

Commercial real estate financing is changing—fast. And no one is leading that charge quite like **Ira Zlotowitz**.

Ira is a trailblazer in the CRE financing world. Over his 25+ year career, he’s been at the helm of some of the most transformational moves in the industry:
✅ Youngest president of any Top 10 mortgage brokerage
✅ Crain’s “Forty Under 40” honoree in his 20s
✅ Scaled Meridian from $300M to $2B+ in loans
✅ Grew Eastern Union to over $5B in annual transactions

Now, as the founder of **GPARENCY**, he’s shaking up the game again—bringing transparency and guaranteed results to debt sourcing and empowering property owners across the country. At this meetup, Ira will break down what’s *actually* changed in the lending landscape, what’s outdated, and how his unique “Debt Diligence” approach is rewriting the playbook.

Whether you’re an active investor or just real estate-curious, this is a rare chance to learn from someone who’s helped fund billions and isn’t afraid to challenge the status quo.
