At the start of 2025, the multifamily sector encountered significant market volatility due to the transition to a new presidential administration. While the broad tariffs implemented in early April have intensified economic uncertainty, Berkadia sees several promising signs on the horizon. In this episode of GlobeSt.com's Thought Leadership podcast series, we delve into the evolving multifamily financing landscape with Josh Bodin, Senior Vice President of Securities Trading at Berkadia. Bodin sits down with contributor Ilana Polyak to talk about Berkadia's bullish multi-year outlook and details of what's behind his optimism. The conversation explores: ●     How tariffs are shifting inflation forecasts and the Fed's rate-cutting strategy ●     Why declining construction starts, improving fundamentals, and the single-family housing affordability crisis are creating a compelling multi-year bull case for multifamily ●     The strong debt financing environment with GSEs, private debt funds, banks, and life insurance companies all participating ●        How market stability—rather than specific interest rate levels—drives transaction volume in commercial real estate *The podcast was recorded on April 4, 2025.

For many borrowers, volatility has been more challenging to manage than high interest rates. Next year, stability is likely.  Where will rates be a year from now? What about the 10-Year Treasury?

Next year, Berkadia CEO Justin Wheeler is optimistic that the instability may finally wane, and borrowers may be able to look forward to more reliable market patterns. In this podcast episode, Wheeler sits down with reporter Kelsi Maree Borland to talk about: The firm's 15-year anniversary, and how the market has changed since its inception and how Berkadia has evolved to meet market demands How the Fed's two rate cuts have increased borrower confidence         Expectations for interest rates and the 10-Year Treasury next year

Early in her career Brooke Boyarsky Pratt (MBA 2013) enjoyed considerable success in roles at McKinsey and Berkadia, a Berkshire Hathaway portfolio company. But a routine visit to the doctor in 2020, where she experienced weight stigma yet again, led her to address the problem of obesity care. Boyarsky Pratt had struggled with her weight since she was young. So when she started knownwell, an integrated weight and primary care provider that was designed to support people with obesity, it was a huge step for her both personally and professionally. In the spring of 2023, knownwell opened its first weight-inclusive clinic in the Boston area. But Boyarsky Pratt had to make a fundamental decision on how she wanted to grow the company. Should she grow slowly and build a small footprint of clinics in the Boston area over the next few years? Or should she scale fast to potentially help millions of people across the U.S.?

With high interest rates, sponsors are looking for alternative options to round out the capital stack—and equity partners have been the favored resource.

In this episode of the GlobeSt. Thought Leadership series, Berkadia's Chinmay Bhatt, senior managing director of joint venture equity and preferred equity, discusses the current market. You'll also hear: The current state of availability for JV and preferred equity, What's impacting pricing on equity deals, and  How sponsors can make a deal more attractive. 

Today's Flash Back Friday episode is from #321 that originally aired on May 21, 2021. Brent Sprenkle is a real estate expert and senior managing director at Berkadia.  Berkadia is a leader in the commercial real estate industry, offering a robust suite of services to the multifamily and commercial property industry.   Berkadia was formed in 2009 as a joint venture of Berkshire Hathaway and Leucadia National Corporation (now Jefferies Financial Group) - both of which are renowned for their capital strength and sophisticated investment strategies.  Brent has more than twenty years of experience and expertise in commercial real estate at nationally recognized firms such as Berkadia and Sperry Van Ness, where he has been involved in more than $1.2 billion worth of commercial real estate transactions   In addition to his real estate activities, Brent is also a published author with the upcoming release of his book, Billion Dollar Portfolio.  In this new book, Brent takes a deep dive into the certain personality type and key attributes it takes to thrive in and build a substantial portfolio of commercial real estate.  Quotes:  “If you underwrite 2-3 deals a day, and write 1 deal a day, that 5 offers a week. You're going to end up landing way more deals than you know what to do with. At the end of the day, you're going to lose all of your money by the down payments. You're going to go broke, but then you bought all of these incredible deals and other people are going to see what you did and you're going to be able to go out and get investors for these properties. So, at some point, you will spend all of your liquidity, but if you're buying amazing properties, and other people see you're able to source deals, manage them, turn them over, and prove them, you're going to wind up with more investors than you know what to do with.”  “You have to have a developer's mindset to the property. In this competitive market, where commercial real estate is so highly valued, you have to come in like a developer thinking how are you going to improve the asset. What are you going to do to take it from a 4 cap to a 5 ½ cap? How are you going to add value?”  Highlights:  2:44- Brent talks about his background and how he found himself in the real estate world  8:45- Brent tells what separates the successful from the unsuccessful in the brokerage world  16:40- Brent shares what makes a top-notch investor and talks about some of his best clients  19:41- Brent talks about how new investors can grab the attention of someone like himself  25:06- Brent talks about market-specific direct impacts that he's seen on pricing with multi-family assets  33:48- Brent shares about how he stepped into the investment arena and how he juggles that along with brokerage   Guest Website:  https://www.berkadia.com/   Want to Own a Piece of Clearwater Beach?

Timestamps: [01:10] Laura: Talk us through your journey to Berkadia.  I left Love Funding (Dwight Capital) when the company was bought by a bank and the culture started to change.   The unique culture and technology blew me away when I met with Berkadia's senior management team.   [02:50] Neda: Talk us through your journey to Berkadia and what your role entails.  I joined Berkadia about 9 years ago because we decided to relocate to the Philadelphia area.  I was really impressed with Berkadia's leadership and that is why I joined the company. And the best part is that I have had the opportunity to do several different roles.  I started in compliance then slowly moved into the data and data science group and then evolved into the product team and through that continue to develop the data analytics tools that Berkadia has developed.  [04:20] Neda: Talk us through the digital transformation at Berkadia.  Berkadia is sitting on a lot of data, we service over $350 billion in our servicing portfolio right now as well as over 100 bankers and investment sales advisors.  We have the ability to gather a lot of data from all of the markets across the US and we combine that with other demographics and have built-out a big base for us to build our tools on.  We started to see, how do we bring value with this data and how do we transform our managers directors into advisors, more so than transaction managers.  How do we help our clients make sure that they have the right investment strategies through data-driven analytics? [06:00] Can you give a couple examples of your clients?  Real Estate Investors of all sizes.  Mid-market and institutional investors.  [09:50] Your workforce has doubled, where have you seen the biggest growth at Berkadia? In Berkadia's technology team, we have had exponential growth over the last few years.  Berkadia is a privately held company so when there is any type of downturn, we are able to take advantage and attract good talent to accelerate the company's vision.  [11:15] Can you expand on how Berkadia is engaging with people at different levels in the education system?  We have an employee resource group called Be United, a summer internship program and we are participating in a work-study program.  [13:05] How do you attract people to your teams, what initiatives are working at Berkadia at the moment?  The DIB initiative has launched and it is management's commitment to diversity.   Berkadia's commitment is not just about women but all backgrounds. Bring your YOU to work. Be yourself, and have that freedom to express yourself as yourself so that you feel comfortable sharing your ideas and contributing to the innovation.  We are highlighting individual stories.  Mentoring. [20:25] What products are you working on?  We have a lot of internal data visualisation tools to drive the advice strategy of our producers to help our clients be successful.  We have an external product called redIQ. It is advancing how rent roll statements and operating statements are ingested and analysed.  We have an internal initiative working on tech startups in the real estate industry.   [26:30] What are the different reactions you have seen from your products?  The non-profit, mom and pop oriented are the ones we are trying to get on board.  Larger clients who have portfolios of 20 and more, they get it.  [27:20] The ‘LMRE' part, Louisa asks the guests to talk about;  L – Touch on the main lessons you have learnt throughout your career. Neda: You have to embrace the change.  Neda: Just go for it, whatever you want to achieve, just act like you are already there. M - Please give a mention to anyone / product / service. Laura: Our IT and product development team as well as the senior management team.   R – What has been the most rewarding aspect of working in PropTech? Neda:  Seeing the clients face when they see the technology.  Laura: Watching my team grow.  E - What are you excited about in the future of PropTech?

Brent Sprenkle is a Commercial Real Estate broker with a company called Berkadia. He is situated in Los Angeles. He's been in the business for about 22 years. He primarily sells apartment buildings here and locally. He also tries to buy apartment buildings here and there when he can. He helped a lot of people avoid paying capital gains by engaging in 1031 exchanges or doing some other creative things. He also wrote a book, A Billion-Dollar Portfolio.Brent Sprenkle is also a Math guy. He actually has a Degree in Mechanical Engineering with a Minor in Math. He worked on DirecTV satellites for about three years, it was not as exciting as it sounds and as it turns out, he wasn't that great of an Engineer. This was his turning point. He moved on to a new career, influenced by friends to buy apartment buildings. One of the things that he believes really helped him was that he was very quick with Math. He can look at a deal and size it up to figure out what it was worth, how to evaluate it. But more importantly, as a principle for buying properties, he can pretty quickly look at a deal and determine if there's a look halfway decent on the surface.

Brent Sprenkle is a real estate expert and senior managing director at Berkadia.  Berkadia is a leader in the commercial real estate industry, offering a robust suite of services to the multifamily and commercial property industry.   Berkadia was formed in 2009 as a joint venture of Berkshire Hathaway and Leucadia National Corporation (now Jefferies Financial Group) - both of which are renowned for their capital strength and sophisticated investment strategies.  Brent has more than twenty years of experience and expertise in commercial real estate at nationally recognized firms such as Berkadia and Sperry Van Ness, where he has been involved in more than $1.2 billion worth of commercial real estate transactions   In addition to his real estate activities, Brent is also a published author with the upcoming release of his book, Billion Dollar Portfolio.  In this new book, Brent takes a deep dive into the certain personality type and key attributes it takes to thrive in and build a substantial portfolio of commercial real estate.  Quotes:  “If you underwrite 2-3 deals a day, and write 1 deal a day, that 5 offers a week. You’re going to end up landing way more deals than you know what to do with. At the end of the day, you’re going to lose all of your money by the down payments. You’re going to go broke, but then you bought all of these incredible deals and other people are going to see what you did and you’re going to be able to go out and get investors for these properties. So, at some point, you will spend all of your liquidity, but if you’re buying amazing properties, and other people see you’re able to source deals, manage them, turn them over, and prove them, you’re going to wind up with more investors than you know what to do with.”  “You have to have a developer’s mindset to the property. In this competitive market, where commercial real estate is so highly valued, you have to come in like a developer thinking how are you going to improve the asset. What are you going to do to take it from a 4 cap to a 5 ½ cap? How are you going to add value?”  Highlights:  2:44- Brent talks about his background and how he found himself in the real estate world  8:45- Brent tells what separates the successful from the unsuccessful in the brokerage world  16:40- Brent shares what makes a top-notch investor and talks about some of his best clients  19:41- Brent talks about how new investors can grab the attention of someone like himself  25:06- Brent talks about market-specific direct impacts that he’s seen on pricing with multi-family assets  33:48- Brent shares about how he stepped into the investment arena and how he juggles that along with brokerage   Guest Website:  https://www.berkadia.com/   Want to Own a Piece of Clearwater Beach?

What does a business plan look like in a market that has rent control, strict landlord-tenant laws, extremely low cap rates, the most expensive labor in the country, and low leverage? Today's guest is going to explain how he's able to navigate all of the downsides in Southern California to make huge profits.  Today's guest is Brent Sprenkle. Brent is a commercial broker for Berkadia in Los Angeles county and also owns his own portfolio of multifamily in L.A. and San Diego. While Brent is intimately familiar with all the downside that comes along with investing in SoCal, he explains how all that downside risk is worth it for the long term appreciation SoCal real estate provides. It's true you can't cash flow significantly in SoCal, but it's one of the safest bets in the country that rents will, in fact, continue to go up over time.  He details how investing in SoCal requires you to be a tenacious investor. Do you have long-term tenants where you can't raise rents enough due to rent control and the tenant doesn't want to leave? How about offering them $20,000 to relocate to a different apartment so you can rehab and raise rents? This is just one of the many strategies most investors might find outlandish but actually work in SoCal.  Listen in and learn the nuances of investing in a market like SoCal! This episode has some wild stories.

Joining us for episode 3 is Art Tuverson.  Art works as a managing director for Berkadia's mortgage banking platform.  He is a debt and equity capital provider dedicated to the commercial real estate industry on a nationwide basis, with emphasis on the Manufactured Housing Community and RV Resort industry. He has over 19 years of experience that have led to a broad customer reach and deep domain expertise in property valuation and analytics.Blake and Art first dive into Texas and property tax reassessments.  According to Art, most Mobile Home Parks have fortunately escaped a lot of the large tax increases.  They will generally look to the appraisal for the property taxes.  When it comes to underwriting, they will look at tax comps.  The mobile home park industry is a smaller pond than other industries like multifamily in which the assessors are more focused on.They discuss a recent California condo conversion loan that Art had worked on.  This conversion loan is a good option for park owners that deal with rent control.  It allows them to unlock trapped equity in mobile home parks by condo-mapping the property and selling the individual lots to the residents.  However, this does require the right lender.They touch on some underwriting factors from the lenders that have become more standardized.  The lenders are focusing on segregating the revenue park owned home P&Ls from the property level P&Ls for more accurate valuations on a property level.  This leads to better loan proceeds.As of the beginning of 2021, the agencies are seeing inflows 2-3x there average run rate for supplemental loans.  In order to moderate this increase there has been a slight increase in pricing, they are being stingier on credit acceptors, and they are limiting discretionary cash-out refinances.Interested in investing in Mobile Home Parks?Check us out at https://comfortcapital.com/

In the second half of the episode, Eric discussed Berkadia's protech mentorship program called BeEngaged and a few startups that they are working with. If you are starting your own protech company, Eric also divided into how to connect with others in the proptech community and some of the mistakes you should avoid as a new startup.

Affordable housing seems daunting to investors unfamiliar with that asset class but Fred Dockweiler, the Managing Director of Affordable Housing at Berkadia breaks down the process and intricacies for us. The idea of providing housing to those less able to provide for themselves comes at a cost to taxpayers but provides benefits to those landlords willing to jump through the hoops and take on the process. Is this a great next move for you? If not now, when? Listen to this episode today and begin planning your next move!

Multifamily Syndication 2020 Outlook, Vinney Chopra provides his thoughts for the coming year, 2020 and beyond.   Vinney Chopra purchased his first multifamily property, a 14 unit property for $180,000 in 2008.  Today he has grown his portfolio through syndication to 4,100 units worth over $300 million. Before 2020 It took eleven months for Vinney to raise the money he needed to purchase his first 14 units in 2008.  At the time, the financial world was in complete melt down. Banks were not lending, and investors were fearful that losses would continue.  Don’t forget, Vinney had never done a multifamily syndication before. But that did not stop him from talking daily with investors and real estate brokers.  Vinney’s concentrated efforts during the 11 months created momentum.  Immediately following his 14 unit purchase, he closed on a second property with 109 units.  He was constantly talking with investors and brokers. Instead of getting discouraged, he kept in touch and underwrote the properties and made numerous offers.  Eventually, sellers and investors were ready to make deals, and because Vinney stayed with it he and his investors benefited.   Mindset Scarcity versus abundance.  Looking backwards is helpful for where we have been, but not so useful for drawing a clear picture of where we are going.  Ask any economist or investor, “what does the future hold for multifamily?” Most will reflect on the incredible period of recent growth and encourage you to sell or accumulate cash and wait for the crash that is overdue.  If you believe in scarcity, and you are expecting a crash, it’s hard to instill confidence in your potential investors that now is a good time to invest.  Scarcity yells, WAIT! We should wait until prices cool and deals are more like they were in 2008.   If you believe in abundance like Vinney, you remain active in the market looking to land deals.   From 2008 to 2014, Vinney and his partner did 14 syndications valued at $100 million.  Since November 2014, Vinney and his wife have done $230 million, more than double what he did at the beginning of the recovery.   The key to his success is that he stayed in the market.  Even when he did not buy a deal in 2018, he stayed in touch with brokers and investors.  He studied different markets looking for growth indicators and emerging markets.   Emerging Markets To make a sound investment, you need an emerging market.  A healthy market for multifamily includes job growth, and inflow of residents that need housing. When demand for housing exceeds supply, you have found a market worth pursuing.  The growth of potential renters is made up of three distinct groups, millennials, baby boomers, and immigrants.  Combine this growing demand with the lack of affordable single family homes compared to wages and the demand for rental housing looks strong for the next 20 to 30 years.  Vinney has successfully invested and exited from multiple deals in markets like Texas and Georgia where the demand is super strong.  In one case, he invested in 2017 and sold in 2019 for a 50% gain! Calculated Risk There are no guarantees, but if you do your homework, and understand the market dynamics, you can hedge your bet, minimize your downside and take a calculated risk.  Housing is a primary need, and apartments are more affordable than single family homes. The market is dynamic.  In 2018, the surge of new investors flooded the market, so much so that Vinney did not buy one property.  He believes that the demand was so great, that investors were overpaying for properties. In 2019, he found the over paying buyers were not as numerous, interest rates were lower, which increased cash flow.  The combination of these circumstances provided better investment options and he purchased two large newer properties. Life is full of risk.  If you put your money under your pillow, or in the bank, you will make next to nothing.  When you leverage into real estate, the bank provides up to 80 percent of the capital needed to buy your property which is in high demand. Year over year, rents increase, net operating income increases, values in crease, and so too does your equity. Value Add  Value add is the best way for a buyer to create equity in his new purchase.  An experienced buyer can recognize opportunities the seller is blind to. Value add opportunities range from minimal efforts from raising the rent to market to a heavy lift investing millions into capital improvements.   The key to a successful value add strategy is to recognize the opportunity, and properly underwrite for the cost to implement the changes quickly.  You want to hit the ground running as soon as you acquire so that you can benefit from the improved cash flow and increased valuation.   When approaching potential investors, it is important to have a sound strong business plan that assures the investor there is a plan to take care of and return their investment.   Underwriting is key in any market.  A good deal is always a good deal. Multifamily Syndication in 2020 Multifamily Syndication is full of opportunity in 2020.  Investors are looking for greater returns than what they are getting in the stock market.  For syndicators who recognize this, and understand how investors can invest their retirement funds, 2020 can be a great opportunity for both syndicators and investors. The national commercial real estate brokers, CBRE, Berkadia, Marcus Millichap have published their market forecast and in all cases, the next 20 years look bright.   Relationships Relationships are key to be successful in multifamily syndication.  If you have not yet syndicated a deal, Vinney suggest you work with seasoned syndicator to learn how to do it properly.  Once you have some experience, you have multiple options available to you. You can raise money or be the key principal leading your own syndication. Today is Your Time Life is full of risk.  If you put your money under your pillow, or in the bank, you will make next to nothing.  When you leverage into real estate, the bank provides up to 80 percent of the capital needed to buy your property which is in high demand. Rents increase, net operating income increases, values in crease, and your equity does too. BIGGEST RISK  Each week I ask my guest, “What is the Biggest Risk Real Estate Investors face?”   BIGGEST RISK:   Wow, I'm so glad you shared that because I settled three lawsuits. You know, just in the last quarter of 2019. So it's very fresh in my mind. And actually, one lawsuit was going on for about two and a half years. Nothing major, but it was major in the sense that something happened with one of my contractors on one of my property. And I'm so glad that I have had full coverage, you know. And they said you settle the issue for almost like seven hundred some thousand dollars. And I didn't have to pay a penny.  Another thing, you know, Darrin, my fire happened, you know. Right there in Atlanta property and that was a fire. I had a twenty thousand dollar deductible only, and that settled for two point three million dollars just to let you all know. But it was only possible because of people like Darrin, you know, who were able to sit down with me and make sure that we get the proper insurance.  I got hacked also in 2017 lost $250,000. And guess what? I did not have the Cyber Insurance. And that got me hurt. And, you know, I never looked back. I always look forward and say, what can I do today to make myself better? And that's OK. But now I'm fully taken care of by my I.T., Cyber Security and Insurance and everything. So the key thing is I think insurance plays a very important role.  I had another lawsuit with the, you know, firing somebody and they said it's racial discrimination firing. So these are very important issues. You've got to make sure you've got great attorneys, first of all, who are with you, dealing with you, looking at your contracts and everything. I'm very happy to say I didn't have to pay much again. You know, it could have been millions of dollars of lawsuit. But by hiring the right people and having the right insurance companies and all that, it helps a lot.

Berkadia real estate brokers, Will Jarnagin and Michael Ware, have been selling apartments for over 15 years. They have a depth of knowledge to help you. Will gives us an insight on the Value Add apartment market in Dallas. He breaks the sources of capital into two categories: 1) purchases UNDER-$25 million 2) OVER- $25 million. Will tells us that there is more activity and more capital available for smaller transactions under $25 million today. The space above $25 million is usually institutional investors and that segment is a little thin with less activity. Michael discusses the oversupply of BRAND NEW- A CLASS apartments this year, but construction permits have dropped and we will see a reduction of new supply in the next few years. This means current rental concessions will fall in the next 18 months. If you have never bought an apartment building or you are new to the market, Will & Michael gives us several tips on how to get recognized by a top producing brokers selling a deal. Also, Michael gives us his perception of where CAP RATES are at for CLASS- A, B & C apartment properties in Dallas. You will chuckle at his answer.
