Randy Moss, industry principal at Yardi, joined the REIT Report podcast to discuss the relationship between regulatory changes, rising energy costs, and net asset value (NAV), as well as how improving energy and utility data quality can reduce risk and support stronger REIT valuations. Yardi is a Nareit Real Estate Sustainability Partner.When evaluating potential real estate investments, cash flows often take center stage, Moss noted. Investors are increasingly looking for properties that not only have robust cash flows but also incorporate efficiency improvements. Enhancements that boost property efficiency can lead to maximized rents per square foot and higher occupancy rates, ultimately contributing to a more favorable NAV.Moss discussed how recent regulatory trends have introduced new challenges for real estate investors. Building performance standards (BPS) have emerged, mandating that owners meet specific energy and greenhouse gas emissions caps. As these regulations evolve, they come with significant penalties for non-compliance, impacting long-term cash flows dramatically.New York City's Local Law 97 sets stringent limits on emissions and requires reporting based on historical data. With nearly 27,000 buildings affected, compliance is a critical factor in maintaining property value and investment viability.Chapters: 00:50 Meet The Guests 01:24 How Investors Value Buildings 02:22 New Risks To NAV 02:55 Building Performance Standards 04:10 Local Law 97 Fines 05:40 Compliance Keeps Tightening 06:50 Why Data Quality Matters 08:22 AI With Human Oversight 10:50 Why Power Prices Rise 13:34 Future Policy Uncertainty 14:56 Mitigating Energy Cost Risk 18:08 BPS Lease And Tracking Tips 20:48 Bring In Leadership 22:49 Wrap Up And Subscribe

Affordability, Energy Prices, and the Short-Term Gains of Midterm Politics. Guest: Thaddeus McCotter. McCotter observes that all foreign policy eventually becomes domestic, especially through the lens of energy costs. He warns that the administration might prioritize short-term gas price relief over long-term strategic interests in the Middle East. Consequently, providing sanctions relief to Iran could allow the regime to continue funding global terrorism and its nuclear program. 16

The ongoing conflict in the Middle East continues to drive the economic narrative, keeping energy costs painfully high for consumers and complicating the outlook for inflation and interest rates heading into peak leasing season.For renters, the impact at the pump has been significant. The national gas average has surged past $4.50/gal according to AAA, up more than a dollar over the past two months, and that kind of sustained increase acts as a quiet drain on the discretionary budgets renters depend on to absorb higher monthly housing costs. Until energy prices meaningfully retreat, operators should expect that pressure to weigh on rent growth even as occupancy holds relatively steady.

KRLD CEO Spotlight with Bob Jordan, President & CEO, Southwest Airlines CO

Patrick opens the show with a powerful cold open featuring an election worker's disturbing testimony about fraud in the 2020 Michigan election, exposing how stolen elections lead to selected leaders who push destructive policies that crush everyday Americans. From skyrocketing energy costs in Michigan where electric bills could rise $2,000 per year under the state's aggressive wind and solar mandate to Marylanders now paying the highest electric bills in the nation, Patrick connects the dots: Democratic policies, willful ignorance, and special interests are deliberately taking more “meat off the bone” from working families while gaslighting the public.Refinery expert Mike Ariza joins the show to deliver a sobering warning about California's collapsing energy infrastructure. With refinery capacity down 35% since 2023 and growing reliance on foreign imports, Mike explains how policy-driven shutdowns are creating a fragile system that could lead to fuel shortages, economic collapse, and even national security risks. He breaks down the worst-case scenarios and calls for immediate federal intervention before it's too late.In the final block, Patrick highlights the escalating absurdity coming from the left: Rep. Terri Sewell asking RFK Jr. if he's ever “reparented a black child,” one-party Democratic rule in Colorado producing disastrous results, and Justice Clarence Thomas warning that progressivism is fundamentally incompatible with America's founding principles. From stolen elections to energy crises and cultural gaslighting, this episode makes one thing crystal clear the consequences of selected leadership are hitting Americans hard, and the time to push back is now.

Electric bills are rising, coal is being retired, and renewable energy can't yet meet demand — so why is the U.S. facing a potential energy crunch? This episode breaks down how past and current policies, combined with global energy trends, are shaping electricity affordability, and what role leadership plays in preventing a European-style energy disaster. ⚡ SEGMENT SUMMARY Coal, Natural Gas & Policy Decisions Obama cut coal use in half without replacing it with sufficient alternatives. Biden proposed stringent emissions rules for natural gas plants, requiring 90–100% carbon capture — technology not yet feasible at scale. The result: electricity scarcity, higher prices, and risk of energy shortages. EVs & Energy Demand Democratic plans for EV adoption would increase electricity demand dramatically. Hosts claim limiting energy production while increasing demand is a strategy to control movement, drawing parallels to historic communist regimes. Trump Administration Actions Redirected funds from offshore wind to oil and LNG development. Attempted to stabilize the grid and prevent a U.S. energy crisis similar to Europe's. Nuclear & Renewable Energy Limitations Nuclear plants in blue states were shut down for virtue signaling, despite reliability and low emissions. Solar and wind remain a minor share of total electricity production, insufficient to replace fossil fuels fully. Critics argue government incentives encourage shutting down production rather than solving shortages. European Lessons German Chancellor Ursula von der Leyen admits EU green programs were a mistake without replacing coal/natural gas. Europe's nuclear energy share dropped from ~33% in 1991 to ~15% today, causing higher prices and reduced reliability. The Political Angle Rising energy bills have become a midterm concern for both parties. The hosts argue Trump slowed the progression toward energy scarcity and should not be blamed for current affordability issues. Democrats are accused of using policy-induced shortages as leverage to nationalize energy and blame corporations.
