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.

What happens to property value when cap rates and NOI start moving in opposite directions—and how should investors prepare for that? In this episode, Angel Williams speaks with Rich Neuharth and Moses Lucero about the realities of underwriting in multifamily investing. They break down cap rates, NOI (Net Operating Income), and the complex relationship between market forces and property performance. Rich walks through examples that clarify how small shifts in cap rates can drastically affect valuations and explains why mindset and transparency matter in underwriting. Angel challenges the assumptions with sharp questions, leading to a clear discussion of how to stress-test deals, factor in risk, and use underwriting tools responsibly. [00:01 - 04:30] Cap Rates in Action How a $1M NOI changes value depending on cap rate shifts Why cap rate compression inflates property value—and vice versa The importance of separating property-level performance from market dynamics [04:31 - 08:15] Mindset and Learning Through Repetition How mindset impacts willingness to ask questions and learn Why repeating and reframing concepts leads to deeper understanding The need for more open conversations about not understanding financial concepts [08:16 - 12:30] Market Cap vs. Purchase Cap What the significance of market cap rate is during appraisals How to handle disconnects between deal-level and market expectations Why accurate comps and broker input guide realistic underwriting assumptions [12:31 - 16:00] The Push-Pull of NOI and Cap Rate in Valuation How to analyze proportional changes in cap rate and NOI Why understanding opposing forces is key to modeling The importance of building performance scenarios and exit plans [16:01 - 19:48] Stress Testing and Long-Term Thinking How to structure deals to withstand market fluctuations Why historical cap rate trends matter when forecasting The need to balance investor expectations with conservative assumptions Connect with Rich: https://www.linkedin.com/in/realmindsetrich Connect with Moses: https://www.linkedin.com/in/moses-lucero-9026b220b/ Key Quotes: “The market cap only affects your sale or refinance.

Are you staring at spreadsheets without really knowing what they're telling you? In this episode, I break down the most important return metrics in multifamily real estate—from cash-on-cash and IRR to DSCR and equity multiple. I explain what they actually mean, why they matter, and how to use them to make smart investment decisions. We're not just guessing here. These numbers tell a story—and if you know how to read them, you'll stop overpaying, start protecting your capital, and finally start growing real wealth. Whether you're an LP trying to spot BS in a pitch deck or an operator building your summary page, this one is for you.
What's the real connection between mindset and underwriting, and why should both matter to passive and active investors alike? In this episode, Rich Neuharth and Moses Lucero of Aviana Capital Group explore the surprising overlap between mindset and underwriting in multifamily real estate. They talk through how relationships, trust, and mindset influence underwriting quality, and how both GPs and LPs can better evaluate deals. The conversation also covers the importance of involving family in real estate, how projections can mislead passive investors, and why conservative underwriting is a necessity, not an option. Whether you're diving into spreadsheets or just want to know how to avoid a bad deal, this episode breaks down real lessons with real numbers and real experiences.

How do Cap Rates work? Why & how they change & why every investor needs to understand them, especially in a down market. Cap Rate Math Impact: A 2.5% cap rate increase (4% to 6.5%) can cause a 38.5% property value drop, potentially eliminating equity for leveraged investors. Recession Patterns: Cap rates rise during downturns as investors require higher returns for increased risk, even when interest rates initially fall. Investor Strategy: Savvy investors avoid assuming further cap rate compression and instead stress-test for expansion to ensure investments can withstand market changes.

The Margin of Error Has Vanished: What CRE Investors Should Be Watching Now Commentary on a conversation with John Chang, Senior Vice President and National Director, Research and Advisory Services, Marcus & Millichap The New CRE Investment Mandate: Survive First, Then Thrive “The margin of error has narrowed to virtually zero.” This was John Chang's stark assessment of today's commercial real estate environment – an era marked by fragile capital markets, rising Treasury yields, policy instability, and speculative hangovers from a decade of cheap money. According to Chang, the headline playbook hasn't changed: keep leverage low, maintain reserves, underwrite for downside. But the stakes have changed. What used to be prudent is now required. Those who forget that, particularly those lulled by the long post-GFC bull run, risk extinction. Cap Rates, Treasury Yields, and the Compressed Spread A central theme of our conversation is the vanishing spread between borrowing costs and asset yields. Cap rates have risen 100–200 bps depending on asset class and geography, but Treasury rates have risen more. That's compressed spreads, rendering most acquisitions reliant on a value-creation story or an eventual rate reversal. Investors are still transacting, says Chang, but only if they believe they can bridge the spread gap through operational improvements i.e. leasing, renovation, management upgrades. Passive cap-rate arbitrage is no longer viable. “The potential for something to go wrong is high,” Chang warns, especially in a policy environment that remains erratic. The Treasury Market's Imminent Supply Shock Chang outlines why he expects upward pressure on Treasury yields for the balance of the year – contrary to the market's general expectations of rate cuts. Key reasons: Federal Deficits: With a delayed budget, Treasury issuance has been running below historical norms. That's about to reverse, with $1–1.5 trillion in supply expected by October. Shrinking Buyer Base: The Fed is reducing its balance sheet. Foreign holders, especially China and Japan, are net sellers. Even traditional allies are showing less appetite, driven partly by frictions over U.S. trade policy. Trade Tensions: Tariffs of up to 145% on imports from China, EU saber-rattling, and a broad retreat from globalization are alienating the very buyers of U.S. debt. “People don't want to do us any favors right now,” Chang says. “That uncertainty alone elevates risk premiums.” Normalcy Bias and the Myth of the Perpetual Up Cycle Chang pulls no punches on the market psychology underpinning risky underwriting in recent years. He describes a bifurcated investor landscape: Those who entered post-GFC and think 2–3% interest rates and infinite rent growth are normal. Veterans of the 1990s S&L crisis, the dot-com bust, or the GFC, who know better. What's striking is the lack of long-term data. Even Marcus & Millichap, he notes, only has robust CRE data going back to 2000. Without context, many have mistaken the tailwind-fueled 2010s as a standard baseline. “We're back to old-world real estate,” Chang says. “Where you have to actually understand the property, the tenant mix, the microeconomics of location. The era of pure financial engineering is over.” Lessons from the Pandemic and GFC: Underwrite for Downside, Not for Hype Chang recounts closing on an investment in April 2020 at the very onset of pandemic uncertainty. “What if we rent at breakeven?” he asked. If the answer was yes, he proceeded. That conservative approach worked then and still applies today. The biggest blow-ups, he says, came from sponsors who: Modeled double-digit rent growth. Over-leveraged. Used floating-rate debt without hedges. Ignored capex and reserves. By contrast, Chang praises sponsors who locked in fixed debt, kept leverage under 65%, and stayed humble. “They're embarrassed to be earning 7% IRRs,” he jokes, “but in this climate, that's a win.” Washout in the Syndication Space: Good Riddance? Perhaps most damning is Chang's commentary on the wave of underqualified syndicators who entered during the boom years. “Thousands came in with no operating experience,” he says, pointing to the proliferation of coaching programs offering checklists instead of expertise. These new entrants mimicked industry language – AUM figures, fund manager titles – but often had no institutional track record or risk management skills. Many of them, Chang believes, are now out or on their way out. And while some may return with hard-earned wisdom, he expects the flow of “tourists” into the syndication world to dry up for the foreseeable future. Tailwinds Still Exist: But Only for the Well-Prepared Despite the short-term risks, Chang sees multiple long-term tailwinds: Demographics: Millennials are delaying homeownership, renting into their 40s and fueling demand for multifamily. Inflation Resistance: Assets like multifamily, self-storage, and even select retail have pricing power in inflationary environments. Constrained Supply: Rising costs (e.g., lumber, steel tariffs) are slowing new construction, which will support existing asset values over time. He also flags tax policy as a positive surprise: The “BBB” tax bill, now working its way through the House, offers accelerated depreciation and expansion of Opportunity Zones particularly in rural areas. This could buoy returns in an otherwise challenging environment. On the Aging of America: A Selective Case for Healthcare-Adjacent Assets Chang views medical office and senior housing through a bifurcated lens: Medical office: Attractive if tenants are stable, young, or anchored by heavy equipment. Long leases. Minimal turnover. Durable income. Assisted living: Demographic tailwinds are real, but operators matter more than ever. The Achilles heel? Labor. “About 30% of healthcare workers in the U.S. are foreign-born,” he warns. “And immigration policy, especially under restrictive regimes, will constrain the labor supply.” No staff, no NOI. Final Signals: What He's Watching Closely If you want to forecast CRE performance, Chang suggests watching: University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment: A leading indicator of retail sales and housing trends. Currently falling. Inflation-adjusted Retail Sales: Shows how real consumption is holding up. Trade Policy & Supreme Court Rulings: The potential invalidation of Trump-era tariffs could reset inflation and Treasury outlooks but introduces a new kind of uncertainty. “We're not facing one black swan,” he concludes. “We're facing a whole flock. Pick your bird.” Bottom Line This is not a time for heroic assumptions. It's a time for competence, humility, and discipline. If you must deploy capital, do so with sponsors who have been through a major downturn GFC style, and focus on those who didn't make capital calls, who still generate yield, and who underwrite to reality, not to hope. The next 2–3 years may be rocky. But the long term still belongs to those who survive the short term. *** In this series, I cut through the noise to examine how shifting macroeconomic forces and rising geopolitical risk are reshaping real estate investing.

Gino dives deep into the evolution of the C-class investment model, reflecting on how it worked in the early 2010s and why it may no longer make sense for today's investors—unless you understand cost basis, yield on cost, and positive leverage.

On this episode of The Horizon, John discusses the rising risk of higher interest rates and their impact on commercial real estate. He breaks down recent shifts in FedWatch predictions, explains why inflation fears are growing despite current readings, and explores how political uncertainty—especially around tariffs and the stalled federal budget—is pushing markets into volatility. John also examines cap rate trends and evaluates whether investors and sellers should act now or wait, with a strong argument for deploying capital soon if there's a path to positive leverage. He wraps up by highlighting the CRE sectors he believes are best positioned for growth, including multifamily housing, well-located retail, infill industrial, and medical office.

What the Debt Markets Are Telling Us — and Why Sponsors Should Listen Insights from Lisa Pendergast, Executive Director, CREFC In today's capital markets, where debt is more expensive, less available, and slower to move, understanding how credit flows work has become just as important as understanding your deal. That's why I sat down with Lisa Pendergast, Executive Director of the Commercial Real Estate Finance Council (CREFC) – a central figure in the $5 trillion CRE debt markets – to ask what the institutions upstream are seeing, and what that means for those of us operating on the front lines of equity, operations, and acquisitions. A Market in Holding Pattern Lisa noted that while Q4 2024 sentiment among debt market participants had turned unexpectedly upbeat, that optimism collapsed in Q1 2025. The cause? Policy uncertainty, rate volatility, and a reemergence of geopolitical and trade risks, most notably the return of tariffs under the Trump administration. The result is hesitation. From the largest bond desks to the average sponsor refinancing a stabilized deal, participants are stuck in wait-and-see mode. "When there's uncertainty," Lisa explained, "things just stop." The Math Has Changed Lisa pointed to a roughly 300-400 basis point gap between legacy loan coupons and current market rates. Even where property fundamentals are stable, that rate delta is making refinancings difficult, especially when higher cap rates have also eroded asset valuations. The implication: more equity must be written into every deal, or the loan won't pencil. This is the backdrop to rising CMBS delinquencies, particularly in office and, increasingly, multifamily markets where excess supply and rent softening have converged. Lenders aren't panicking, but they are requiring more diligence, more equity, and more confidence in borrowers. Why Sponsors Should Watch the CMBS Market For sponsors who don't interact directly with capital markets, Lisa offered a critical point: trends in CMBS spreads and issuance are leading indicators. When investors demand higher spreads (i.e., more compensation for risk), lenders raise rates, reduce proceeds, or pull back altogether. She explained the distinction between conduit deals (pools of smaller loans) and SASB structures (large, single-sponsor or single-asset bonds). The conduit market, a lifeline for mid-sized deals, has slowed dramatically. That signals tightening liquidity for smaller sponsors or niche asset classes. Meanwhile, large SASB deals continue but only with strong assets, strong borrowers, and deep-pocketed equity partners. The Regulatory Horizon Lisa also addressed deregulation under Trump 2.0. While she hasn't seen core rules like Dodd-Frank or the Volcker Rule reversed outright, she's watching how new leadership at key agencies may soften enforcement. Dodd-Frank was enacted after the 2008 financial crisis to rein in excessive risk-taking by lenders and increase transparency in financial markets. The Volcker Rule, a key provision, restricts banks from making speculative bets with their own capital, especially in risky vehicles like real estate-backed securities. For sponsors, the concern isn't just about policy in Washington, it's about what happens to lending standards and capital stability when those policies shift. Lisa's concern is practical: regulatory whiplash, rules swinging left, then right, then back again, as we've seen with tariffs, undermines confidence and can freeze the flow of capital. When lenders aren't sure what rules they'll be operating under next quarter, they hesitate and that caution trickles down to your loan terms. Sponsors should pay attention here. When policy becomes unpredictable, capital becomes cautious and that shows up in the terms you're offered, or whether your deal gets financed at all. Final Takeaway: The Debt Market Has Grown Up Lisa struck a cautiously optimistic tone. Compared to the run-up to the 2008 crash, today's market is more disciplined. Underwriting remains sound, even in a difficult environment. But that doesn't mean lenders will stretch. If you're a sponsor today, her message is clear: capital is out there—but it's selective, it's expensive, and it's scrutinizing every deal. You need to understand the market forces upstream to be able to compete downstream. *** In this series, I cut through the noise to examine how shifting macroeconomic forces and rising geopolitical risk are reshaping real estate investing.

In this episode of Coffee & Cap Rates, Shimon Shkury, President and Founder of Ariel Property Advisors, explores key trends in the Bronx commercial real estate market with Senior Director Jason Gold and Director Daniel Mahfar. According to Ariel's Bronx 2024 Year-End Commercial Real Estate Trends report, investment sales in the borough declined 33% to $1.23 billion, while transactions held steady at 220.Despite the overall slowdown, development sales surged 39% to $363.1 million across 59 transactions, fueled by the extension of 421a, the introduction of 485x, and the Bronx Metro-North Station Area Plan, which rezoned a 46-block area around four future stations. Development pricing rose 9% to $107/BSF and new building filings jumped 112% year-over-year in Q3 2024. Meanwhile, multifamily sales struggled, falling 59% to $457.9 million, even as transactions rose 10% to 90. High interest rates and the Bronx's heavily regulated multifamily market contributed to the decline.For more insights, check out Ariel's Bronx 2024 Year-End Commercial Real Estate Trends report.
I just got back from an amazing trip to Sedona after RaiseFest in Phoenix! Great hikes, pickleball, cigars, and, of course, plenty of real estate talk. One topic that kept coming up was exit cap rates. Many investors default to widening their exit cap rate for conservatism but in today's market, that strategy doesn't always make sense, especially for value-add deals. Your exit cap rate should reflect not just conservatism but also the transformation of the asset from purchase to sale. In this video, I break down why the conversation around exit cap rates has changed, why some investors are even projecting flat or compressed exits, and how you can adapt your underwriting strategy to today's market.Learn more about Lone Star Capital at www.lscre.com Get a FREE copy of the Passive Investor Guide:https://www.lscre.com/content/passive-investor-guide Subscribe to our newsletter and receive our FREE underwriting model package:https://www.lscre.com/resource/fof-underwriting-toolkit Follow Rob Beardsley:https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-beardsley/https://www.facebook.com/RobBeardsleyLSC/Read Rob's articles:https://www.lscre.com/blog

Key Takeaways:Be very cautious of deals with extremely high cap rates (over 10%), as there are likely underlying issues with the property or tenant.Thoroughly vet the seller and ensure they are the actual owner of the property before proceeding. Verify ownership through title work.Conduct thorough due diligence, including a Phase 1 environmental study, to uncover any potential problems or liabilities.Have a commercial real estate attorney review all lease and purchase documents carefully before moving forward.Work with reputable title and escrow companies, not directly with the seller, to protect yourself from potential scams.Ensure the tenant's financials and business model make sense for the high rent being paid, as it may not be sustainable.
