On this episode of The Horizon, John discusses second quarter commercial real estate sales trends, with a deep dive into multifamily and retail activity.

John also breaks down cap rate trends using both average and hedonic metrics, noting that while some asset classes show downward cap rate pressure, much of it may stem from deal quality shifts. He wraps with a forward-looking view, expressing optimism for 2025 as a strong entry point for investors, citing steady interest rates, more deal flow, and favorable long-term tax policies.

On this episode of The Horizon, John discusses a potential game-changing executive order from President Trump that could allow U.S. retirement accounts like 401(k)s to invest in private market assets, including commercial real estate. He explores how this influx of capital could significantly reshape cap rates—not because of interest rates, but due to shifts in capital flows. Using historical data, John challenges the commonly held belief that cap rates track closely with interest rates, demonstrating instead that transaction volume and investor demand play a much stronger role. He concludes by urging investors to consider positioning themselves ahead of a possible capital wave that could drive property values higher.

On this episode of Unlimited Capital, Richard McGirr delivers a solo masterclass on the number one mistake that kills more deals than bad markets or bad sponsors—the “Build Trap.” Drawing from his experience raising over $60 million and coaching dozens of fund managers, Richard explains how over-focusing on CRMs, funnels, and "perfect" systems often masks procrastination and stalls momentum. He breaks down the 95/5 rule of capital raising, emphasizing that most results come from just a few key actions: sending emails, calling investors, and following up.

On this episode of The Horizon, John discusses the surprising inefficiencies in commercial real estate investing, specifically focusing on the apartment sector. He unpacks why markets like Chicago—despite strong rent growth and solid fundamentals—have higher cap rates and attract less capital than high-growth but lower-performing markets like Dallas-Fort Worth. John explores how investor behavior, herd mentality, and institutional capital flows influence asset values more than actual property performance. He concludes by highlighting overlooked cashflow markets like Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Milwaukee that offer strong yields in today's high-interest-rate environment.
