On this episode of the Best Ever CRE Show, JP Newman, CEO and founder of ThriveFP, discusses navigating the current market cycle in multifamily real estate. With over 20 years of experience and 20,000 units under his belt, Newman shares why his firm strategically reduced their portfolio from 10,000 to 1,500 units to position for upcoming opportunities. He predicts 24 months of market distress ahead, projecting another 10-20% price decline unless interest rates decrease significantly, while emphasizing the importance of having dry powder and maintaining strong investor relationships to capitalize on deals. Newman also provides insights on how institutional capital has changed the multifamily landscape, making it harder to find significantly dislocated opportunities compared to five years ago, though he remains optimistic about multifamily's long-term fundamentals due to the continuing supply-demand imbalance.

Gita Sjahrir, Head of Investment at BNI Ventures, and Jeremy Au talked about three main themes: 1. Indonesia 39% Debt to GDP Ratio vs. Singapore: Jeremy and Gita delved into the policy debate behind Prabowo's decision to increase Indonesia's debt-to-GDP ratio from 39% to 50%, and invest towards achieving an aggressive growth rate of 8% through a nickel-led industrial strategy coupled with expansive public spending. They tackled the broader implications of borrowing for a developing nation and the importance of maintaining fiscal credibility. Gita critiqued common misconceptions about national vs. personal debt and highlighted the international double standards in debt perception. They also compared Indonesia's fiscal strategy against USA, Singapore, Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines. 2. Free School Lunch Program: They discussed Prabowo's popular school lunch program initiative that seeks to address childhood malnutrition, reduce growth stunting and improve educational outcomes for Indonesian children. Despite its potential, the program's implementation and funding mechanisms have ignited political debate. The potential to significantly boost student health and learning capabilities are contrasted against the risks of inefficiency and potential corruption. They deliberated on whether the anticipated improvements in public health would justify the public spending, with lessons from America and Japan's programs. 3. Capital City Move from Jakarta to Nusantara: The planned relocation of Indonesia's capital from Jakarta to Nusantara faces logistical and political challenges, which are natural for the extensive infrastructural developments. The discussion underscored the strategic necessity of such a move, considering Jakarta's environmental and congestion issues. However, the media's critiques of overly-optimistic timelines and potential underestimations of required investments should be compared with the 30-40 years that it took for Washington DC to become the new capital city of America. Jeremy and Gita also covered the role of global trade flows, protectionist policies' implications on economic growth, and the critical role of accountability in government spending.
