I am in some partnerships that will be taking over some facilities and doing some expansions. So I have been thinking through some of the spaces our team will have to go through as we prepare to bring these projects online. Given the purpose of these episodes is to learn out loud what we do in the self-storage industry, I thought this would be a fitting episode for early 2026, especially if you are also bringing something online soon. **Self-Storage Turnaround Playbook** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/episode-476-four-steps-i-use-to-revive-a-self-storage-facility-non-fb/ **Startup Checklist** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/episode-475-self-storage-startup-checklist-4-steps-owners-miss/ **Cap Rate, ROI & IRR Calculator** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/episode_472_cap-roi-irr-worksheet-2/ **The 4 Critical Metrics Download** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/episode-474-4-critical-metrics/ **Five Mistakes PDF* https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/episode-473-5-mistakes-new-owners-make-in-self-storage/ **Cap Rate, ROI & IRR Calculator** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/episode_472_cap-roi-irr-worksheet-2/ **Online Courses at The Quickstart Academy** https://TheQuickStartAcademy.com/ **Listen on Apple Podcasts** **5 KPIs we measure** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/top-5-kpi-ebook/ **My blog** Creating Wealth Through Self Storage **Facebook** https://www.facebook.com/markhelmselfstorage/ **Twitter** Tweets by MarkHelmSelfSt **The Storage World Analyzer** http://storageworldanalyzer.com/ **The QuickStart Academy Store** https://quick-start-academy.myshopify.com

Something shifted in January — and this January 2026 Denver real estate market update breaks down exactly what’s happening. Rents are resetting to 2018 levels. A third of all available apartments were built in the last decade. Colorado now ranks 5th nationally for outbound moves. 55% are leaving the state — the highest since 1990. Landlords across the Front Range are holding rents flat or cutting them just to keep units filled. But here’s what most people are missing — this same pressure is creating buying opportunities that haven’t existed in over a decade. Chris Lopez sits down with his monthly market panel. Troy Howell with Nova Home Loans, Jeff White with Envision Advisors, Jenny Bayless covering Colorado Springs, and Shawn Riley from KeyRenter Denver all join the conversation. The group digs into the numbers. They share what they’re seeing firsthand from their own portfolios, clients, and deal flow. Things get real when Chris reveals a fourplex across the street from his own just sold at his 2018 purchase price. That confirms what the data has been showing about multifamily. Then the panel unpacks a $30 million foreclosure on four central Denver apartment buildings. Zero bidders showed up at auction. Colorado residential land now averages $942,200 per acre — up 174% in a decade. That’s why starter homes have disappeared entirely. And Shawn Riley shares that rents on condos and townhomes are down 7-10%. Apartments are offering up to three months free rent, making it brutal for older inventory to compete. In This Episode We Cover: Colorado Springs hits 4.5 months supply — officially tipping into a buyer’s market while prices hold mostly steady Why Denver inventory is building 7-8% year over year and new construction spec homes still aren’t moving even with builder-subsidized 4% rates The rental market resetting to 2018 levels and why landlords are holding rents flat to avoid costly turnover Section 8 developments including Denver paying 120% of fair market rents but freezing new voucher issuance and rent increases Room by room rental demand softening — what co-living operators need to know heading into spring Why the panel says this is Colorado’s first real buyer’s market in a decade and the 1031 exchange strategy to capitalize on it The new Fed chair nomination and what rate improvements of 0.50-0.75% from last year mean for refinance opportunities If you’ve been waiting for a 2026 Denver real estate market update that actually tells you where the deals are, this is it. Whether you’re sitting on single family properties eyeing a move into multifamily, a landlord figuring out the right rent price, or an investor ready to pick up distressed deals at steep discounts, the panel breaks down exactly where things stand right now.

Two weeks ago I started this series (Episodes 487 and 488). I think it is critical for this year, given what we see in the current self-storage landscape. Effective revenue strategies are going to make the difference between well-performing assets this year and ones that fall behind due to pressures on operating expenses, as well as macro-economic pressures, which were outlined in last week's episode. In this episode, we will discuss another important way to have a major impact on your cash flow and revenue. Let's increase your add-on revenue in 2026 and beyond. Let's explore some of the usual suspects, then get creative.

Is commercial real estate setting up for a comeback in 2026? In this episode of The Real Wealth Show, Kathy Fettke sits down with Henry Chin, Global Head of Research at CBRE, to break down the latest outlook for U.S. and global property markets. Despite ongoing economic uncertainty, investor demand for U.S. commercial real estate is strengthening. Henry shares why multifamily remains the top asset class, how Sunbelt oversupply compares to gateway city recovery, what "flight to quality" really means, and why office and retail could become surprising contrarian opportunities. He also explains what investors should expect from cap rates, Treasury yields, and potential Fed rate cuts in 2026. If you're underwriting deals or deciding when to buy or sell, this episode offers data-driven insights to help you invest smarter in the year ahead.

What happens when politics, credit cards, housing markets, and Florida border tolls all walk into one podcast?

Most of the problems in multifamily over the past few years have been related to debt. Many operators are now in their second extension phase and not making payments or keeping up with their properties. Several of these have been taken back by the lenders. Lenders are identifying experienced, local operators to take over these properties.  James Eng, “The Professor” of multifamily financing, is the National Director at Old Capital in Dallas. James has helped hundreds of multifamily investors strategize the right debt to obtain and acquire over $1 Billion dollars of properties. James has also been a Limited Partner in 45 multifamily deals in Texas. 

Last week I started this series, Episode 487, which I think is critical for this year given what we see in the current self-storage landscape. Effective revenue strategies are going to make the difference between well-performing assets this year and those that fall behind due to pressures on operating expenses, as well as macro-economic pressures that were outlined in last week's episode. In this episode, we will discuss another way to have a major impact on your cash flow and revenue, and a powerful way to increase the value of your self-storage project. That is being on top of, and effective in, collecting your delinquencies. I think you may be surprised at what you can learn from it.

What is a good cap rate in 2026… and are most investors getting it completely wrong? In this episode of the Commercial Property Show Australia, we break down one of the most misunderstood metrics in commercial property investing, cap rates. But this is not just theory. We unpack what investors should actually be targeting across each major asset class in today's market and how interest rates, risk, and tenant demand are reshaping return expectations right now. If you are buying, analysing, or negotiating commercial deals in 2026, this episode will recalibrate how you assess value and risk across office, retail, and industrial property. Key topics we cover What a market cap rate really represents and how it reflects investor risk appetite • The relationship between interest rates and cap rate movements • Why negatively geared commercial property is a dangerous strategy • Cap rate expectations for office, retail, and industrial sectors in 2026 • How supply constraints and tenancy demand are driving industrial property performance Whether you are transitioning from residential, building a cash flow portfolio, or sharpening your acquisition strategy, this episode will help you benchmark deals more accurately and avoid overpaying in shifting markets.

Denver multifamily 2026 cap rates just hit 6 to 6.5 percent. This is the first time since 2009. Furthermore, Denver’s highest-volume multifamily brokers believe this marks the bottom. Meanwhile, many investors wait for blood-in-the-water distressed sales. However, NorthPeak Commercial Advisors see something different in Denver multifamily 2026. Instead, they’re seeing fair pricing on quality assets. Additionally, buyer activity is returning after a two-year freeze. Chris Lopez sits down with Kevin Calame and Matt Lewallen. They’re co-owners of NorthPeak Commercial Advisors. They’re also 30-year business partners. Previously, they survived Denver’s largest condo conversion operation collapsing in 2007. Now, their firm handles more multifamily transactions than any other Denver brokerage. As a result, this gives them unmatched visibility into what’s trading in Denver multifamily 2026. Kevin and Matt don’t sugarcoat the challenges. For example, transaction volume is down 75 percent. Similarly, insurance jumped from $500 to $1500 per unit and North Aurora won’t sell at any price. Nevertheless, they lay out multiple data points. These suggest the Denver’s multifamily 2026 market has found its floor. This episode delivers real-world insights you won’t find in generic reports. For instance, Kevin shares a recent Denver multifamily 2026 showing. It drew 12 buyers after months of zero activity. Meanwhile, Matt explains why admitted insurance carriers are positioning to return. He also covers the “extend and pretend” banking strategy. Consequently, this might prevent the distressed wave many expect. They break down recent deals. Specifically, one is a 24-unit Arvada property. It’s structured as a master lease option. Another is a Thornton retail acquisition at a 7 cap. In fact, that deal has 30 percent below-market rents. Kevin and Matt explain why this downturn feels harder than 2007. Essentially, it’s the perfect storm. First, rising rates went from 3% to 6.5%. Second, there’s oversupply with 18,000 deliverable units. Additionally, expenses are spiking. Also, insurance is chaotic. Finally, unfriendly legislation is hitting Denver multifamily simultaneously. But unlike the Great Financial Crisis, properties aren’t flooding back to banks. Instead, Denver multifamily 2026 is stabilizing at healthier fundamentals. Cornerstone Property Management’s data shows renewal rates just increased 14 percent. This is after two years of decline. Moreover, NOI is steadying. Therefore, buyers who purchase Denver multifamily 2026 properties at today’s 6+ cap rates can expect realistic returns. Those are 7-8 percent annually. As a result, they’ll likely look back in 18 months satisfied with their timing. In This Episode We Cover: Why Denver multifamily 2026 cap rates returning to 6-6.5% signals a healthy market (not a crisis) How NorthPeak Commercial Advisors closes double the Denver multifamily transactions of any competitor The insurance crisis that pushed costs from $500 to $1500 per unit and why relief is coming Recent showing with 12 buyers proves Denver multifamily 2026 market is waking up Creative deal structures: master lease options, seller financing, and assumption deals Why North Aurora won’t sell at any price while core Denver stabilizes at 6 caps Cornerstone data shows 14% renewal rate increase—first positive rent signal in two years Proper expectations for Denver multifamily 2026 buyers: 7-8% returns are the new normal Kevin and Matt built NorthPeak by surviving the 2007 crash, unwinding a $15 million condo conversion empire, and grinding through survival mode to become Denver’s top multifamily brokerage. Their 17 brokers make hundreds of calls daily, giving them real-time market data that generic reports miss. Whether you’re holding assets wondering if you should sell or sitting on capital waiting for the perfect entry, this episode provides the data-driven analysis Colorado investors need to make informed decisions in 2026.

In this episode of the 7-Figure Annuity Sales podcast, Caleb North breaks down essential strategies for comparing index annuity rates and making smart allocation decisions for your clients. He explains how to properly compare products using the same index and crediting methods, and shares a mathematical formula for determining when to use cap rates versus participation rates. Caleb also dives into Roth conversion strategies, emphasizing the benefits of systematic conversions over lump sum conversions to minimize tax liability and keep clients in lower tax brackets. He cautions agents about using the right product for the right solution, sharing a recent example of questionable marketing practices that could harm insurance companies. Throughout the episode, Caleb reinforces the importance of ethics and integrity in annuity sales, always putting clients first.

In today's competitive world of self-storage, reducing rates to match or beat your competition can feel like the smart move. There's a lot of supply, and pricing algorithms are adjusting rates to keep up with what's happening in a trade area. And consumers often think of self-storage as a commodity, so they'll just go with the cheapest rate… right? Well, not always. In 2026, powerful revenue strategies are going to be critical—more important than ever. I will explain why in this three-part series. In this first episode, let's explore what I think are some good approaches to consider this year around pricing and move-in incentives.

Send us a textFinal episode of Inside the Family Office: Live Investor PanelReal family office practitioners and allocators share how they structure deals, protect families, and think about wealth:  Investor Brian closes the panel with stories and principles from decades of real estate and business building – starting with an 8x return on a 4-H piglet as a kid. He breaks down how he bought distressed Phoenix property at a fraction of replacement cost, why you must “run into the burning building” when everyone else is fleeing, and how to avoid piling into yesterday's winners at today's low cap rates. Brian outlines his goal of seven super-pillars of passive income across real estate, private equity, syndicated deals, and options, and shares his non-negotiables for alignment: deep-pocketed partners, operators who only win after investors win, and real skin in the game. The panel ends with a strong reminder to respect other people's capital and only raise money if you're prepared to protect it.

Interest rates don't just change mortgage payments, they change how apartment buildings are valued. In this Strategy Saturday (SS266) episode, Charles Carillo breaks down why higher interest rates are driving apartment values down and how rising rates reset investor expectations, cap rates, buying power, and cash flow across the multifamily market. Most multifamily properties are highly leveraged, which makes them extremely sensitive to changes in interest rates. As rates rise, investors require higher returns, cap rates increase, financing costs go up, and property values adjust downward — even if the property itself hasn't changed. In this video, you'll learn: How interest rates directly impact multifamily valuations Why cap rates rise when interest rates increase How higher debt costs reduce cash flow and buying power The indirect effects of interest rates on rental demand and housing supply Why even small rate changes can reprice apartment values by millions This episode is essential for multifamily investors, apartment owners, and anyone underwriting deals in a higher-interest-rate environment.   Links Referenced in Episode: SS76: What is a Cap Rate and What is a Reversion Cap Rate? - https://youtu.be/_IVjR8mckiY   Connect with the Global Investors Show, Charles Carillo and Harborside Partners: ◾ Setup a FREE 30 Minute Strategy Call with Charles: http://ScheduleCharles.com ◾ Learn How To Invest In Real Estate: https://www.SyndicationSuperstars.com/  ◾ FREE Passive Investing Guide: http://www.HSPguide.com ◾ Join Our Weekly Email Newsletter: http://www.HSPsignup.com ◾ Passively Invest in Real Estate: http://www.InvestHSP.com ◾ Global Investors Web Page: http://GlobalInvestorsPodcast.com/

In 1995, I had an Acquisition Director for Storage Trust, a REIT at the time, tell me, “Basically, self-storage is a boring and slow industry. Not many changes.” That is certainly not the case in 2026. This industry is evolving, and evolving at a fast clip. Let me share with you what I see for the small self-storage investor in 2026. I'll talk about where I see the industry going this year and how it may impact us and what we put our attention on. Music in the episode is from Bill Withers' “Ain't No Sunshine,” from a golfer's POV. **Self-Storage Turnaround Playbook** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/episode-476-four-steps-i-use-to-revive-a-self-storage-facility-non-fb/ **Startup Checklist** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/episode-475-self-storage-startup-checklist-4-steps-owners-miss/ **Cap Rate, ROI & IRR Calculator** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/episode_472_cap-roi-irr-worksheet-2/ **The 4 Critical Metrics Download** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/episode-474-4-critical-metrics/ **Five Mistakes PDF* https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/episode-473-5-mistakes-new-owners-make-in-self-storage/ **Cap Rate, ROI & IRR Calculator** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/episode_472_cap-roi-irr-worksheet-2/ **Online Courses at The Quickstart Academy** https://TheQuickStartAcademy.com/ **Listen on Apple Podcasts** **5 KPIs we measure** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/top-5-kpi-ebook/ **My blog** Creating Wealth Through Self Storage **Facebook** https://www.facebook.com/markhelmselfstorage/ **Twitter** Tweets by MarkHelmSelfSt **The Storage World Analyzer** http://storageworldanalyzer.com/ **The QuickStart Academy Store** https://quick-start-academy.myshopify.com

In this episode of The YM Show, we sit down with Daniel Gibbons, founder of G6 Development, to break down an incredibly real and inspiring journey through construction, entrepreneurship, and real estate.Daniel didn't start at the top. He began doing labor work for a construction company, worked his way into an electrical apprenticeship, and spent 13 years working with FPL, mastering his trade. Through patience, discipline, and calculated risk-taking, he pushed through setbacks and eventually began building homes of his own.Today, Daniel has built well over 100 homes, owns income-producing rental properties, operates his own construction and development company, and has achieved financial freedom through real estate.In this conversation, we cover: • Starting from humble beginnings in construction labor • Apprenticeships, skill-building, and long-term patience • Transitioning from tradesman to builder and developer • Using rental properties to create financial freedom • Lessons learned from building 100+ homes • What it really takes to grow in real estate and developmentThis episode is a must-watch for anyone in the trades, construction, or real estate who wants to see what's possible with discipline, consistency, and vision.⸻YouTube Chapters (Timestamps)00:00 – From Framing Houses to Becoming a Developer02:30 – Working Hurricanes & Blue-Collar Jobs to Get Ahead05:15 – Making $120K W-2… and Still Feeling Stuck07:45 – Selling the Nice Car to Change His Life10:05 – First Rental Ever: $20K Lot + Mobile Homes12:40 – Mobile Home Costs: Pre-COVID vs Today15:10 – Using a Private Lender for the First Deal17:30 – Finding Tenants & Creating First Cash Flow19:55 – Scaling Rentals While Working Full-Time22:30 – Getting the General Contractor (GC) License25:10 – Quitting the Job & Going All-In27:45 – Disaster Work That Changed Everything30:10 – Doing $1M+ in Renovations in the First Year32:40 – Reinvesting Profits vs Lifestyle Inflation35:05 – Buying Off-Market Land & Building Duplexes37:45 – Building 12 Units in Under 4 Months (Real Numbers)40:15 – Construction Loans vs Permanent Financing42:40 – Land, Zoning & Entitlements Explained45:05 – What Cities Want (And How to Work With Them)47:10 – Cap Rates, Cash Flow & Underwriting Deals49:30 – Advice for Young Guys With Limited Capital51:10 – “The Only Thing Stopping You Is You”⸻

Send us a textReady to scale beyond flips and small rentals into commercial real estate without stepping on landmines? We sit down with investor and educator Becky Lambert to unpack the blueprint: how to pick the right markets, structure safer debt, and build durable cash flow with tenants who actually stay. Becky has 16 years in commercial under her belt and breaks down the core framework with clarity—what NOI really tells you, how DSCR protects your downside, and why a 1% shift in cap rate can swing a valuation by millions.We dig into the hidden systems that make or break deals: boilers, elevators, roofs, and power capacity. If you've ever inherited an old building and found out the hard way what “inspection missed” means, you'll appreciate the playbook for due diligence that buys leverage at the negotiating table. Becky shares how to curate tenant mixes that pull traffic—think surgeons, PT, pharmacies, and synergistic retail near hospitals—and why staggering lease expirations matters more than squeezing the last dollar on day one. We also explore counter-cyclical assets like storage, the trade-offs in specialized warehouses, and how ground leases and cell towers can add surprising income streams.For those itching to jump in, Becky explains why joining a syndication is a smart first step to learn IRR, equity multiple, and lender relationships from inside the deal. From selecting a market with real growth drivers to designing leases with escalations and creditworthy tenants, this episode gives you a clear path to move up the ladder without gambling your portfolio. If the numbers tell the truth, learn to listen—and let your strategy match what the market actually wants.Enjoyed the conversation?

A friend of mine was telling me about an experiment that was conducted in the 1950s using rats the other day. I did some research and was absolutely fascinated by what I learned from it.

There's an expectation a rates cap will prove challenging and require teaming up with central Government. The Government's proposing to stop rates increases at 4% a year, excluding water and other non-rates revenue. Councils wanting to go beyond this will need approval from a government-appointed regulator. Nelson Mayor Nick Smith told Mike Hosking he's not surprised councils have been targeted by the Government as it aims to reduce costs across the board. But he says delivery will require the Government to work with them to get costs down, especially in the construction sector. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One key metric could tell you immediately whether a multifamily real estate investment is worth buying—but most people ignore it. It's not cash flow, it's not cap rate, and it's probably something you've overlooked dozens of times. Joe Root helped grow his family's multifamily portfolio and manages over 100 properties using this metric. Joe left the glitz of a corporate Wall Street career when he realized his family's apartment portfolio was better than the big city life. Multifamily management quickly became his new obsession. During the Great Financial Crisis of 2008, Joe stepped in to manage (and buy) foreclosed properties that were barely staying afloat.  Through 20 years of multifamily experience, he's pinpointed the most overlooked markets in the country, how to dodge rent control and get your own city government to actively fight against it, and the #1 mistake you can make when screening tenants. He's sharing it all, plus his key multifamily metric, in this episode.  Insights from today's episode: The one screening metric Joe uses to determine if a multifamily investment is worth it What to do when one of your tenants turns your building into a rave venue  An underrated area of the country that multifamily investors shouldn't ignore  A sign that you're managing your portfolio inefficiently (and it could cost you) Why Joe's team is moving into new development for even greater returns    —   Connect with Joe on LinkedIn   East Superior Real Estate Partners   Are you a high-net-worth investor with capital to deploy in the next 12 months?

Dan also shares real examples from today's multifamily landscape and explains why the data suggests we may be at the bottom of the current cycle.

John Chang breaks down the latest economic and market signals after a week of meetings in New York City. He explains how the temporary government funding deal both alleviates short-term pressures and extends broader uncertainty—impacting GDP, consumer spending, and investor sentiment. John also unpacks capital flows, interest-rate volatility tied to upcoming Federal Reserve changes, and why debt availability is improving even as risk factors persist. He contrasts Sun Belt oversupply with strong performance in low-construction markets, and ultimately argues that today's elevated cap rates and stable debt costs may represent a rare “sweet spot” for long-term investors.

One of the best things about owning investment real estate is the tax advantages it offers. Especially self-storage. Let's discuss some of the benefits today. Given the high cost of construction and the current interest rates, a clear and well-understood tax strategy could be the difference between a go/no-go on certain deals. **Self-Storage Turnaround Playbook** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/episode-476-four-steps-i-use-to-revive-a-self-storage-facility-non-fb/ **Startup Checklist** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/episode-475-self-storage-startup-checklist-4-steps-owners-miss/ **Cap Rate, ROI & IRR Calculator** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/episode_472_cap-roi-irr-worksheet-2/ **The 4 Critical Metrics Download** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/episode-474-4-critical-metrics/ **Five Mistakes PDF* https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/episode-473-5-mistakes-new-owners-make-in-self-storage/ **Q1 2026 Virtual Self Storage Bootcamp Sign Up** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/2026-q1-live-virtual-bootcamp/ **December 6, 2025 Fast-Track Your Self-Storage Success — Free Live Webinar** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/2025-q4-webinar/ **Cap Rate, ROI & IRR Calculator** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/episode_472_cap-roi-irr-worksheet-2/ **Online Courses at The Quickstart Academy** https://TheQuickStartAcademy.com/ **Listen on Apple Podcasts** ** 5 KPIs we measure** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/top-5-kpi-ebook/ **My blog** Creating Wealth Through Self Storage **Facebook** https://www.facebook.com/markhelmselfstorage/ **Twitter** Tweets by MarkHelmSelfSt **The Storage World Analyzer** http://storageworldanalyzer.com/ **The QuickStart Academy Store** https://quick-start-academy.myshopify.com

Send us a textIn this episode of The Wealth Vibe Show, host Vinki Loomba dives into one of the most overlooked yet highly profitable niches in real estate—campground investing. Joining her is Kevin Thueson, former CPA turned outdoor real estate mogul and co-founder of KCN Campgrounds, one of the fastest-growing KOA franchise portfolios in the U.S. Kevin reveals how he went from crunching numbers in a cubicle to building a campground empire—literally from the dirt up.

Host Kyle Macdonald and Neighborhood Ventures CEO Jamison Manwaring break down the latest Wall Street Journal and GlobeSt headlines—from rent cuts hitting Sun Belt cities to cap-rate volatility and the looming $3.3T wave of commercial loan maturities. They dive into: Why renters now have the upper hand in markets like Phoenix and Austin How heavy concessions and delayed lease-ups are reshaping multifamily economics What unpredictable cap rates and maturing debt mean for valuations Why smart operators are doubling down on fundamentals through 2026 This is your data-driven roadmap for navigating a flat-rent market and positioning for "Heaven in '27."

Jamison and Lexy unpack a new survey suggesting cap rates may have peaked as Treasury yields stabilize—and explain, in plain English, what a cap rate is, why it moves inversely with values, and how rate cycles flow through underwriting. They connect the dots between the Fed's dual mandate, tariffs, and inflation risk; why a true rate-cut cycle would flip us from buyer's to seller's market; and how to think about timing with the classic “market clock” analogy. Then they dive into the numbers: apartment transactions up ~12% in Q2, pricing vs. 2015–2019, why renting is still far cheaper than buying, and why new supply is set to fall off a cliff—a setup for future rent growth. They close with Neighborhood Ventures' playbook: buy below replacement cost, prefer well-located distressed assets, and renovate (or not) where it pencils. What they cover: Cap rates 101 → cash flow ÷ value, and the inverse relationship to pricing Why stabilized Treasuries + expected rate cuts could mark the turn The Fed's inflation/employment balancing act—and what tariffs might do Q2 deal flow: multifamily transactions rising and confidence returning Rent vs. buy gap: why apartments still have room to run Supply outlook: deliveries slowing sharply → conditions for rent growth Strategy now: buy vs. build, replacement cost math, and timing the “7 o'clock” entry ⚠️ Disclaimer: This episode is for informational purposes only and is not tax, legal, or investment advice.

Why are institutions pouring billions into an asset class others are doubting?In this episode of What's In Store, Chris Ressa and Karly Iacono break down one of the most resilient yet often misunderstood corners of commercial real estate: net lease. While headlines focus on retail closures or shifting tenant dynamics, the reality is that net lease portfolios are performing at an extraordinary level, with occupancy rates consistently between 98 and 99 percent. This asset class is attracting serious institutional capital, and its structure creates predictable long-term income streams, and replacement costs and tenant “stickiness” make these properties so durable.They also tackle misconceptions—explaining why recent cap rate movements and financing challenges haven't diminished the underlying value of well-located, freestanding real estate. With creative financing and strategic positioning, today's market offers investors a rare window to buy below replacement cost while securing stable returns. Whether you're an active investor, a retail real estate professional, or simply curious about how “mailbox money” really works, this episode delivers a clear-eyed look at why net lease is a powerful and timely opportunity.What you'll hear: Why net lease portfolios are maintaining 98–99% occupancyHow long-term leases provide durability and predictable incomeThe role of replacement cost in strengthening asset valueWhy tenant “stickiness” adds security to investmentsThe growing appetite from institutional investorsHow rising cap rates and high financing costs create opportunityStrategies for investors navigating today's marketChapters00:00 Introduction to Net Lease Opportunities03:01 Understanding Occupancy Rates in Net Lease REITs05:55 The Durability of Income in Net Lease Investments08:47 Institutional Interest in Net Lease Properties12:09 Market Trends and Future Predictions for Net Lease14:59 Investment Strategies in Net Lease Real Estate

On this week's episode of The Horizon, John discusses why inflation is rising in a slow “trickle,” with food prices leading the gains, and how this feeds into rising odds of Fed rate cuts and a ~4% 10-year treasury. He explains why today's financing window—around 5% for agency multifamily—creates rare positive leverage and is already sparking activity. With construction starts falling and labor/material costs high, John outlines a favorable long-term setup: tighter future supply, elevated cap rates, and improving fundamentals. He also maps the risks (recession, weaker jobs data) and where to focus: Class A/B multifamily, necessity retail, medical office, and storage—while flagging trade-exposed West Coast industrial and some discretionary retail, and noting office as a potential “dark horse” on rising RTO pressure.

On this episode of The Horizon, John discusses second quarter commercial real estate sales trends, with a deep dive into multifamily and retail activity. He explains why transaction velocity—rather than dollar volume—is a more reliable market indicator, especially in a period with large portfolio deals like Blackstone's Air Communities acquisition. 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.
