Despite shifting fundamentals and increasing economic uncertainty, Gordon Whiting of TPG Angelo Gordon says that net lease assets are providing downside protection. Tariffs, interest rates, and a volatile stock market are weakening commercial real estate investment sentiment and pushing capital back to the sidelines—but net lease assets are the silver lining. Gordon Whiting, founder and co-portfolio manager of TPG Angelo Gordon's net lease strategy and a recent recipient of GlobeSt.com's Influencers of Net Lease award, has an optimistic outlook on net lease investment opportunity this year. Whiting sat down to talk about the net lease investment market. In the interview, he explains: ●     How the macroeconomic environment could affect net lease asset performance and investment ●     Opportunity for sale-lease back deals as companies look to monetize real estate assets ●     Why he is optimistic about net lease activity (and interest rates) in the second half of the year

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.

Tremont Realty Capital says the middle market represents one of the largest segments of the commercial real estate sector, yet it can often be overlooked. It is this segment of the market that The RMR Group's Tremont Realty Capital, however, sees significant opportunities.  Tom Lorenzini, SVP of Tremont Realty Capital, says the firm would rather have a deep portfolio of smaller loans than a smaller portfolio of larger loans for better diversification and risk management.  In this episode of GlobeSt.com's podcast, Lorenzini spoke about the current lending market and the firm's lending strategy. He discusses: Tremont Realty Capital's unique structure and how it leverages The RMR Group's scale. Why the middle market, which Tremont defines as assets having values in the $25 million to $100 million range, may be the sweet spot for lending activity. Why no commercial asset class—even office—is off the table this year.

Rent Caps Part Two - President Biden recently announced a 5% cap on apartment rents, though there was some confusion as he struggled to read '5%' on the teleprompter, accidentally suggesting a $55 cap. This raises questions about the effectiveness of rent caps in addressing America's housing crisis. What implications will this have for future development? Do rent caps have a successful track record, such as in New York? It's worth pondering why, if the President views rent caps as a definitive solution to soaring housing costs, why he did not implement this measure back in 2021 when the average rent was around $1,150 per month, in contrast to the current average of approximately $1,411 per month. The timing of this policy, introduced less than four months before the Election after three and a half years of inflation, is also noteworthy.

Jason welcomes rental housing economist Jay Parsons for part 1 of today's podcast. Jay serves as Senior Vice President, Chief Economist for RealPage, leading the Economist and Industry Principal teams to provide deep insights on market trends and consumer behaviors. He is a frequent author and speaker on topics affecting multifamily apartments and single-family rentals, including rental housing investment and asset management strategy, rental housing policy issues, risk mitigation and property management. Jay has been cited in The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, The Financial Times, The Economist, and The New York Times, and he has appeared on CNBC and BloombergTV. His commentaries have been published by Barron's, the Pension Real Estate Association, the Mortgage Bankers Association, the National Apartment Association, American Banker and GlobeSt. Jason and Jay discuss the current state and future of rental housing. He highlights the roller coaster nature of the rental market, with a slowdown during the COVID-19 pandemic followed by a surge in demand in 2021. Rent growth has been strong, although it has moderated compared to the previous years. The rental market's performance varies by geography, with some areas experiencing a slowdown while others remain strong. Jay also discusses the influx of new multi-family inventory in the market, which reached a 50-year high due to strong demand and construction activity. While there may be short-term imbalances between supply and demand, Jay emphasizes the long-term need for more housing supply. He believes that the rental market, including both single-family rentals and multi-family apartments, will continue to experience strong demand due to demographic factors. Millennials and Generation Z are entering the market, and the housing market will benefit from their demand for rental properties. However, Jay acknowledges the challenge of providing affordable and workforce housing. Most new construction caters to higher-income households, and building affordable housing is easier said than done. The cost of land, labor, and materials, as well as regulatory restrictions, pose significant obstacles to affordable housing development. Nimbyism (Not In My Backyard) attitudes and opposition from neighbors and local governments further complicate the issue. Jay emphasizes the need to bridge the gap between ideals and practical implementation to address the shortage of affordable housing effectively. Key Takeaways: 0:47 Welcome Jay Parsons; rental rates are closer to normal 2:28 It's all dependent on geography 5:34 Demographics, household formation age and the demand tailwinds 7:35 Building affordable workforce housing 11:28 So many requirements to build cheap new houses which brings the cost way up 12:48 A little hope from Florida 14:23 Moving up or down the socioeconomic ladder 17:00 The rent to income ratio, tracking apples & oranges   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

The multifamily market continues to steadily improve, with solid underlying fundamentals but softer demand in areas that have seen a major influx of supply, a situation that lines up with the mixture of positive and negative indicators for the broader housing market and for the economy as a whole. Both home prices and rents have recently shown negative year-over-year numbers, but they are increasing on a monthly basis and are showing greater strength as the summer months continue.

The combination of a regional banking crisis and rising interest rates has offered investors plenty of reason to lie awake at night—but KeyBank has a strategy to quelle those anxieties. In this episode of GlobeSt.'s Thought Leadership podcast series, Al Beaumariage, SVP and affordable housing program manager at KeyBank, and Cathy Danigelis, Western Region manager at KeyBank, discuss how minding the basics is helping clients to reach their business objectives. You'll also hear: Why traditional relationship banking is crucial to guiding clients through market uncertainty; How KeyBank is well equipped to maintain loan originations; and What to watch for in the affordable housing sector.

The potential for distress looms large over the commercial real estate market, and a recent report notes that the multifamily market "has the most significant amount of debt maturities coming due," and "pricing is off the most of any asset class." With elevated interest rates as a persistent challenge, these debt maturities could have a major impact on multifamily pricing. At the same time, the fundamentals of the multifamily market are still strong, which continues to drive the interest of investors waiting for a buying opportunity at the intersection of the pricing mismatch and looming debt maturities in the apartment market.

Commercial real estate is feeling the impact of high interest rates, slower rent growth, and the banking turmoil, but is that asset class really set to implode? Many of the headlines you see today would lead you to believe that that's going to happen but some real estate insiders say: “Not so fast. We could be in for a buying opportunity.”   Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. Please remember to subscribe to this podcast and leave us a review.   First, let's take a look at what's happening with apartment sales. Commercial real estate data company CoStar just released a preliminary report on first quarter sales that shows a 74% year-over-year drop. That's the biggest slowdown since 2012 except for the second quarter of 2020, when the pandemic shut down the economy. From the start of the year to March 17th, sales were around $10.6 trillion. If the quarter finished with another $2.8 billion in sales, the total would be equal to the second quarter of 2020. (1)   Apartment Sale Slowdowns   In 2020, apartment sales fell because of the pandemic. Now, sales are slowing down because the Fed has been pushing up interest rates to fight inflation and investors can't make the numbers work. Alex Horn of CoStar News says: “The value of multifamily assets across the United States has started to decline” over the last six months. And he expects valuations to fall further.    As dour as that sounds, CoStar reports that multifamily sales are doing better than other kinds of commercial real estate, such as office and industrial. CoStar's Jay Lybik says that multifamily is “still the preferred sector to invest in.” But this kind of data is looking at a “national” snapshot, which doesn't say much about the submarkets, and places where things aren't quite so bad.   The Basic Tenets of Real Estate    Eric Brody of ANAX Ventures is one of those optimists. ANAX is a real estate developer and lender that provides funding to distressed real estate projects. Brody spoke with Benzinga about the current situation and said: “What are the basic tenets of real estate? Location, location, location and hyper-local markets. Now you have the mainstream media making projections based on a macro scale.” He says that the media should be asking about what asset class in which market and how they structured the deal. (2)   He also objects to stories about a big slowdown in construction that's impacting values. According to Brody, you don't count a half built building as worth only half of it's value. He says the values are still there and there's “a lot of stuff under construction right now.”   Maturing Debt Creates Investor Opportunities   In December, he forecast big buying opportunities in commercial real estate because of all the debt that's maturing. He told GlobeSt.com that a report by Newmark shows “over $1 trillion in loans are coming due in the next two years, and due to rising interest rates, it is expected that repayment conditions will become more challenging, with bridge financing, office, and retail loans being the most at risk.” He said: “In addition to the rising rates because of increased construction costs, rent growth, and political headwinds, real estate will need an infusion of capital to either refinance assets at a lower rate, pay down existing debt, or complete current projects.” (3)   But what does that mean for investors with capital? Brody told Benzinga that this creates an opportunistic environment for investors with cash on hand. He says: “It's an incredible moment in time if you have the capital and the expertise.”   That's it for a more positive view of the commercial real estate market.

In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending February 11th, 2023... What's ahead for single-family rentals and build-to-rent homes, along with a look at why Los Angeles landlords may be fuming right now, over a new law.   Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you like our podcast, please subscribe and leave us a review.   Economic News   We begin with economic news from this past week, and comments from Fed Chief Jerome Powell, about last week's surprisingly strong January jobs report. He said of the report: “It was certainly stronger than anyone I know expected.” (1) The blowout report surpassed expectations with 517,000 new jobs, and a decrease in the unemployment rate to 3.4%. (2)    With 5 million more jobs than there are workers to fill them, Powell is concerned that competition for workers will lead to continued inflationary wage growth. He says the “disinflationary” process has begun, and expects to see significant declines in inflation this year, but expects it will take more rate hikes, and all of next year to get inflation back to the 2% level, especially with such a strong job market. Powell says: “If we continue to get, for example, strong labor market reports or higher inflation reports, it may well be the case that we have to do more and raise rates more.”   On the positive side of the jobs report are comments from Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook who believes the Fed's rate hikes “can be accomplished without a large increase in unemployment.” And that raises hope for a “soft landing.” (3)   There's still talk that the federal funds rate will peak at 5% to 5.25%. We are currently in  the 4.5% to 4.75% range. New York Fed Chief John Williams is among those who see 5% as a peak short-term rate, although he reiterated during an interview with the Wall Street Journal that there is still much work to be done.   As for the weekly jobless report, initial claims were 13,000 higher than the week before, but they are still near pandemic lows. The total was 196,000. Continuing claims were up 38,000 to a total of 1.69 million. There has been a gradual increase in those continuing claims which may indicate that it's taking longer for people to find new jobs. (4)   Mortgage Rates   Mortgage rates ticked up slightly. Freddie Mac says the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was 3 basis points higher at 6.12%. The 15-year was 11 points higher at 5.25%. (5)   In other news making headlines…   Single-Family Rentals Forecast   A new analysis by Green Street says that single-family rentals will be “well-positioned” for the next five years. GlobeSt.com reported on the analysis by John Pawlowski who says that single-family rentals will benefit from strong demographics, affordable price points, and limited single-family construction. Pawlowski also expects SFR communities to benefit from the 35 to 44-year old age group which is expected to grow at double the rate of other age groups.  He says that many of these communities are in the Southeast, either existing, planned, or under construction. (6)   The Green Street report also describes this asset class as “resilient” with a “firm floor” for rents and values. The fact that renting has become more affordable than owning contributes to this outlook. But he does warn about headwinds. He says expects higher operating costs to continue without much relief in sight. That includes costs for repairs, maintenance, and property taxes. There are also political risks ahead for this asset class, due to potential regulation that mainly targets institutional investors.   Strong Year for Build-to-Rent    New build-to-rent homes are also expected to do well this year. Brad Hunter of Hunter Housing Economics told GlobeSt.com that he expects to see another “up” year with somewhat slower leasing activity. But he sees this as a temporary lull with flat rent growth for the next few quarters. He says: “By this Fall, we'll see rent growth come back again, and probably fairly strongly.” He's predicting rent growth of 5 to 6% by 2025 or even sometime next year. (7)   A limited supply of new single-family homes will push demand higher for renters, especially among Millennials with growing families. He says the spotlight is on the Southeast with “continued strong demand and solid performance in BTR, even during 2023, but at an even greater level from 2024 to 2028.” And he says that “Florida is going to be one of the strongest markets… but Georgia and the Carolinas will also see a lot of strong performance.”   LA Landlords Hit with New Renter Protection Law   Los Angeles is adding another financial burden to the business of being a landlord. The city council approved a new law that would force landlords to pay relocation costs, if they hike rents more than 10%. Relocation costs would be three times the fair market rent, plus another $1,400 in moving expenses. (8)   This is just the final part of a tenant protections package that the council put together after Covid emergency measures expired. The new ordinance would apply to tenants in newer homes who are not already covered by existing rent control laws. There are 84,000 of those homes in L.A., all built after 2008.   That's it for today. Check the show notes for links at newsforinvestors.com.

This year, the Federal Reserve has increased interest rates six times, and it has signaled that more rate hikes are on the horizon. The higher cost of capital is sure to put a damper on affordable housing investment, just as the market was gaining momentum and investor interest. In this episode of GlobeSt.com's Thought Leadership podcast series, Robert Likes, the president of the national affordable housing platform at KeyBank, uncovers how higher interest rates, along with other economic headwinds, will complicate affordable housing deals next year. Likes provides advice about how investors can navigate challenging fundamentals and tap into additional funding sources to make affordable housing deals work.

In the last 12 months, multifamily investors have been plucking up opportunities far and wide, driving a historic surge in deal volume. The transaction activity has put pressure on valuation experts to keep up with unyielding demand. Meghan Czechowski, SVP and the head of Apprise by Walker & Dunlop, says the activity is extending appraisal timelines from two to three weeks to four to six weeks. But through innovation, companies like Walker & Dunlop are carving a path forward. In this episode of GlobeSt.com's Multifamily Visions podcast series, Czechowski explains how appraisal platforms are evolving, and offers critical information about the economic headwinds and changing market fundamentals that could impact property valuations in the year ahead. To hear more from Czechowski, press play.

In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending October 22nd, 2022... what's ahead with the Fed's next meeting, the decline of the urban office, and the hybrid workplace challenge.Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you like our podcast, please subscribe and leave us a review.Economic NewsWe begin with economic news from this past week, and forward-looking news about the Fed's next meeting. Federal Reserve officials are set to hold their meeting on November first and second, and will likely approve a .75 rate hike. They will also be discussing the size of a potential rate hike in December that many economists foresee as a smaller increase. Fed Governor Christopher Waller said in a recent speech: “We will have a very thoughtful discussion about the pace of tightening at our next meeting.” (1)The jobless rate went down by 12,000 applications last week as the effects of Hurricane Ian disappeared. Initial claims dropped to a three-week low of 214,000 which indicates that layoffs are still very low. Despite all the turbulence going on economically, the low numbers mean that the job market is still very strong. (2)U.S. housing starts did a big reversal in September. They were up 13.7% in August, and dropped to a seasonally adjusted 8.1% last month. On an annual basis, they were down 7.7% in September. When you separate single-family homes from apartments, new single-family starts were down 4.7% and a big 13.1% for multi-families. Residential building permits were up 1.4% to 1.56 million which beat some analysts expectations. The numbers reflect weakening demand in the midst of high prices and shortages. (3)Home builder sentiment is also suffering. The National Association of Home Builders' monthly confidence report shows the index dropped eight points in October, to just 38. Anything under 50 is considered negative. It's the tenth month in a row that the index has fallen and it's now the lowest it's been since August of 2012. Just one year ago, the index was at 80. (4)Existing home sales continue to drop further, as the housing slowdown continues. According to the National Association of Realtors, they were down a seasonally adjusted 1.5% in September, to an annual rate of 4.71 million homes. It's the eighth month in a row that existing home sales have declined. If you exclude pandemic interference with the market, sales haven't been this low since September of 2012. Looking back one year, sales are off 23.8%. (5)Buyers are being cautious as the market changes. The median price for an existing home was down in September from $389,500 to $384,800. Inventory is also dropping. It was down 2.3% to 1.25 million homes last month because many people are staying put, and not selling. Homes are typically staying on the market for 19 days, which is up from 16 days a month ago. Before the pandemic, homes were averaging one month on the market.Mortgage RatesMortgage rates have topped 7% for some lenders, but Freddie Mac says the average rate for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage is 6.94%. That's up 2 basis points from the week before. The 15-year was up 15 basis points to 6.23%. (6)In other news making headlines...Urban vs. Suburban Office SpaceVacancies are rising for urban office space as leases expire, and companies change their workplace strategies. A report by Marcus & Millichap shows that urban office vacancies rose 550 basis points from the beginning of the pandemic until June of last year. They've risen more slowly since then, but they are still up 30 basis points since June to 18.6%. Meanwhile, suburban office vacancies have gone “down” 30 basis points, and rents are up 2.9%. (7)The report in GlobeSt.com says that “suburban properties continue to be more resilient than their urban counterparts.” They are also much cheaper to rent at about two-thirds the price. This reversal is working well for some companies with employees who now prefer the suburbs, although decisions on return-to-work policies are still very much in transition.The Workplace TransitionA recent survey by the Building Owners and Managers International says that 86% of the respondees feel that the office environment is still vital for a successful business, but 71% say they will continue on a plan to facilitate some amount of remote work even if Covid disappears entirely. Only 15% of both employers and employees support full-time remote work. (8)One of the big questions is “how hybrid” should an office space be? Although each company will be unique in what works best, finding that sweet spot is difficult. Sociologist and author Tracy Brower says that some younger employees may want to spend more days at the office, but many employees want more emphasis on remote work.Brower says: “People need plenty of choices about where, when and how they work” and that “a continuing conversation” is needed to answer questions concerning engagement, performance, and other workforce behavior. At this point, there's no putting the genie back in the bottle.That's it for today. Check the show notes for links.

Tweetables:“Go through the exercise of determining what that building is worth if it were vacant.” – Chad Griffiths“Generally speaking, the larger the company, the more aggressive that they're going to be on the lease rate.” – Chad Griffiths“If you don't have a plan for what that property is worth when it's vacant, it can destroy a lot of wealth.” – Chad Griffiths“This (industrial real estate) isn't a hands-off investment vehicle unless you're going the syndicate road and you're just going along as a limited partner.

In this episode we sit down with Josh Simon of Simon CRE to discuss some of lessons he has learned over the course of his career. He describes what it is like to grow a team and take risks! Joshua began his career in commercial real estate in 2004, and it wasn't long before his headstrong attitude allowed him to forge ahead and start SimonCRE in 2010, during some of the toughest of economic times. As Founder and CEO, Joshua leads the company's growth strategy while directing the daily operations. He carries the torch for a team committed to developing projects that benefit clients and the communities they serve. SimonCRE develops properties all across the country. To date, the company has completed over 230 projects across 22 states, equaling a total value of more than $530 million. When Joshua isn't in the office (which is rare), you'll likely find him advocating for the CRE community. He applies his boundless energy toward supporting and giving back to the industry he loves. He's served on a number of boards and routinely presents as an industry expert at conferences like ULI Deep Dive and ICSC Next Generation, as well as forums for AZRE and Bisnow, among others. SimonCRE isn't Joshua's first foray into entrepreneurship either. He previously started a hosted VoIP company which he sold to a publicly-traded company four years later.

Value-add apartment investors are back in action, and they are driving a boom in the bridge lending market. It's all thanks to the great migration during the pandemic. As people traded urban living for secondary markets, including tech hubs, apartment rents in small metros and suburban markets climbed to record heights—and the trend hasn't stopped in 2021.“Rent growth has supported transitional business plans where sponsors are buying properties with the idea of investing additional capital into those properties or executing a rental increase plan,” Alex Cohen, CEO of Liberty SBF, tells GlobeSt.com. “We are seeing a lot of bridge demand from borrowers that are executing on those types of business plans.”In the current market, value-add business plans are most viable for mid-tier investors focused on properties in the $5 million to $25 million price range and located in cities with strong rent growth. “We tend to finance what we call emerging institutional sponsors,” says Cohen. “Those are middle market investors that have 10 to 15 projects under their belt.”Join your host Sean Reynolds, owner of Summit Properties NW, and Reynolds & Kline Appraisal as he takes a look at this developing topic.https://www.globest.com/2021/10/25/rent-growth-is-fostering-big-demand-for-bridge-loans/?slreturn=20211003002225Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/seattlerealestatepodcast)

In this episode, Eric Schleien sits down with Ann Hambly, the Founder/CEO of 1st Service Solutions. I'm a huge fan of Ann, as she transformed the CMBS industry and has also been impacted by the Tribal Leadership technology which I've shared about many times here, here, and here. As one of the managers of Brookfield Asset Management shared with me, "Transforming Culture is the last bastion of alpha due to the low competitive nature of the endeavor." To watch this episode on YouTube, see below or click here. Ann has been involved in literally every aspect of the CMBS industry throughout her 35+ year career. She created from scratch and ran many large servicing shops before creating 1st Service Solutions in 2005. She has been an intentionally integral part in shaping the CMBS industry since its inception. Ann founded 1st Service Solutions in 2005 to address what she saw to be a gaping hole in CMBS.  Unlike ‘on book' commercial real estate loans, there is no ‘banker' for the borrower to speak to after securitization.  In creating what was to become the first borrower advocacy space in commercial real estate, Ann has grown 1st Service Solutions into what is now known as the preeminent CMBS Borrower Advocate practice. The company has been featured on William Shatner's ‘Moving America Forward' show as a company changing the business landscape in America. Ann has been and continues to be highly involved in industry leadership as a featured keynote speaker at conferences across the country speaking on CMBS structure, CMBS workouts, assumptions, and hot topics in the general CRE industry. With the release of her book, ‘CMBS 911,' Ann once again set out to meet an unmet need: explaining, in simplistic and straightforward terms, the roles, responsibilities, and motives of every individual or entity involved in the CMBS process. “The whole process can be overwhelming and confusing for the borrower and there's always a lot on the line,” she explains. The book has gone on to become an industry bestseller and is being adopted into the Purdue College of Business Real Estate curriculum as well as other colleges and universities. In addition to her own book, Ann's expertise has been featured in ‘True Leaders: How Exceptional CEOs and Presidents Make a Difference by Building,' ‘Trends in Commercial-Mortgage Backed Securities,' and ‘The Law of Distressed Real Estate.' Ann is also a prolific contributor to many, many real-estate and business-related publications having published 50+ articles, commentaries, and columns in such publications as the Commercial Real Estate Show, the Commercial Observer, Scotsman Guide, GlobeSt.com, Mortgage Bankers Magazine, National Real Estate Investor, Real Estate Business, Real Estate Forum, and Reuters among others. Jurists frequently request Ann's involvement in high-profile cases regarding commercial real estate because of her vast and varied experience. She has been called upon to provide expert reports, depositions, testimonies, and professional consulting services on many high profile cases. Ann is a member of the Board of Directors of the Counselors of Real Estate (CRE) and has been an active member of C12, a Christian CEO group, for the past several years. In addition, she has previously served on or as the chairman of the Board of Directors for the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), the Commercial Mortgage Securitization Association (CMSA), the Multifamily Housing Institute, and the Real Estate Capital Recovery Association (RECRA). Throughout her lengthy career, Ann has received many, many professional awards and citations. Among them are the induction in the Commercial Real Estate's Hall of Fame, numerous times designation as a ‘Legend and Woman of Influence in Commercial Real Estate' by Real Estate Forum, named a ‘Top 10 Most Distinguished Women in Real Estate' by the Mortgage Bankers Association, selected as a member of the prestigious Real Estate Roundtable, and named as one of six ‘Most Influential Women in Commercial Real Estate' by National Real Estate Investor to name a few. Ann lives in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex and enjoys time spent with her family, especially her six grandkids.   HELP OUT THE PODCAST If you like The Intelligent Investing Podcast, please consider leaving a rating and review on Apple Podcasts.

Jon Geanakos grew up in Ipswich, Massachusetts, raised mainly by his Greek immigrant grandparents. They gave him a strong sense of ethnicity and hard work, speaking Greek predominantly in their home and running a local grocery store and ice cream parlor. He was recruited to play lacrosse at the University of Lowell and it was there that he found himself embracing leadership. As the captain of his lacrosse team, he excelled at helping the right people work together to achieve their goal.His lacrosse coach introduced him to the president of the local bank, Lowell Institution, and that set him on the trajectory to real estate.   “It's fascinating how one person just at that pivot point in a young person's life can guide you to what your life's work is. You never understand the profoundness at the time when it happens, you obviously realize it when the years have passed.”Jon's Leadership JourneyAfter a few years at the bank, he was approached by some of the bank's investors to join them in starting The Tallard Group. This gave him his first entrepreneurial experience. When they closed their doors shortly after, he applied to join Copley Real Estate. There, he took a job as a portfolio manager of failing properties in Texas, and later in Ohio.At Copley, he remembers sitting at meetings amongst Ivy League executives and feeling like he didn't belong or deserve to be there. However, each time he would make a successful decision, he felt his confidence slowly building.   “When somebody says, ‘This is a really difficult job, you might fail at it,' I always tell people ‘You must take the tough job because that's where the upside is… and you'll learn something from it.'”When Copley and AEW merged, he faced a fork in the road: his mother was diagnosed with cancer and he was ready to move into a more brokerage-focused role. While she was in surgery, he contacted 150 names in the hopes of finding a position in New York, and this initiative landed him at Secured Capital.After gaining experience in brokerage, Trammell Crow approached him and he moved back into closing deals in capital markets. When CBRE merged with Trammell Crow in 2006, Jon trusted his gut and joined Houlihan Lokey where he discovered a new dimension of real estate. During his time at Houlihan Lokey, one of his clients who he was advising on capital raising opportunities, Anthony Westreich, invited him to join Monday Properties as a partner.At Monday Properties Jon began identifying emerging gateway markets like Nashville, Portland, and Denver, which had the potential for large profits. He had a vision for how this could become a viable business, and Cabot Street Capital Partners was born. While this new venture was exciting, it was also lonely. When JLL pursued him, Jon knew it was time to move on to the next step in his career and realized this was it – it was the perfect opportunity.In Jon's position at JLL, he finds himself employing everything he has learned over the years, as he oversees all sales and financings for the firm's Capital Markets platform in the U.S., Canada, Latin and South America. This involves everything surrounding investment baking and executing transactions on ownership. While he spends the majority of his time in the U.S. and Canada, his dashboard and longstanding relationships with investors bring him around the world to places like Europe, the Middle East and Asia.Jon identifies JLL's technical proficiency and expertise, global connection, and wonderful client management as key differentiators among their competitors in the industry. An intentional and active focus on their communication and culture has also lead to huge growth, client satisfaction, and success.Jon's Advice“You have to be as selfless as you possibly can. It really isn't about you, it's about them.”His tips for leadership and managing a team include:Be as selfless as possible and remember it is not about you, it's about them.Be patient.Simplify things whenever possible.Be forthright and truthful, even when it is hard.Be consistent.Besides working hard and being competitive, Jon says that intellectual curiosity is key to success. You must be open to asking more than the obvious, linear questions. He also identifies increased diversity and ever-evolving technology as game-changers that will transform the future of real estate for the better.Additional LinksPlease check out our coverage from GlobeSt.com. You can read the article, “Eight Ways to Succeed in Real Estate” here.Real Estate Is For YouJon names real estate as a career that is only limited by your own imagination and work ethic. Outwork everyone around you, network aggressively, align yourself with mentors, and remember that you can always find new paths to learning.

Jason Hartman begins today talking about a recent article on Globe St that discussed the 7 ways Generation Z will impact the commercial real estate world. Jason also discusses how it also impacts residential real estate. Then Jason finishes his interview with Matthew Gardner, Chief Economist at Windermere Real Estate. The two discuss the lack of home inventory and why the loosening of credit regulations isn't going to impact home sales as much as some are hoping. Then they also delve into millennials trying to afford homes and WHERE they can actually afford to live. Key Takeaways: [3:58] Education is the shortest distance between poverty and wealth [6:56] Generation Z is going to bring the suburbs back [12:27] What the shift back to suburbs will do to companies Matthew Gardner Interview: [16:58] It's taking a credit score of 740 to get a mortgage loan these days, but even if more people become eligible there's no inventory [20:09] Factors that could trigger the next business cycle recession and what the next recession might look like [24:27] Who are the "Boomerang Buyers" and how might they impact the single family rental rate growth?

  TRENTON, NJ—The impasse between the state's legislature and governor over implementation of a higher gas tax to fund the state's insolvent Transportation Trust Fund will have serious implications for business development and economic growth in the Garden State if it is not resolved quickly, according to several business leaders and economists who spoke exclusively with GlobeSt.com.

Matthew Dolly, Research Director, Transwestern PARSIPPANY, NJ—Members of Generation X, those born from 1965 to 1980, “the neglected middle child” in offices that also contain Baby Boomers and Millennials, are more like their Boomer predecessors than the younger Millennials, a recent Transwestern report discovered. The development, real estate investment management and research firm explored the generational preferences of office employees in a recent survey of its own workers organized by New Jersey research director Matthew Dolly. “I came up with the idea last summer,” Dolly tells GlobeSt.com exclusively. “You're always reading about Millennials, you have the Baby Boomers, who for the most part built up the office market. But you never read about Gen X, because they were a smaller generation and they were only the largest part of the workforce for a few years.” Gen Xers are between 35 and 50, and in the next 20 years will be 55-70, Dolly says. “We're going to be the executives, we're going to make the decisions, so right now we have to work with the Baby Boomers and with the Millennials, their children behind them,” he says, noting that he falls squarely in the middle of the Gen X demographic. The research and commentary, titled “The Gen X Factor: Stuck in the Middle or Best of Both Worlds?” compares the responses of 273 Transwestern team members classified as Baby Boomers (born 1946 – 1964), Gen Xers (born 1965 – 1980) and Millennials (born 1980 – 1998). Many developers have skipped from what Baby Boomers wanted and expected in office arrangements directly to what Millennials want, such as urban live-work-play locations, Dolly says. But Gen Xers enjoy a mix of office designs and locations, his research shows. “They did like the option of a private workspace and abundant light, not as many used mass transit as the millennials, but Gen Xers and Baby Boomers prefer the suburbs,” he says. Gen Xers like flexible work hours with some structure, he adds. In nearly all cases, the responses of Gen Xers fall somewhere between Baby Boomers and Millennials, highlighting the unique blend of views this generation possesses – a mix of seasoned experience and savvy thinking that was the fortuitous byproduct of being sandwiched between two large generations. “Although Millennials are now the largest segment of the US labor force, companies that value workforce diversity benefit from a broader range of ideas and experiences,” says Dolly. “At the same time, while it is easy to create divisions between age groups, we found that there are just as many commonalities as differences between these three influential generations.” You can hear a podcast of GlobeSt.com's conversation with Matt Dolly in the player below. Some of the survey's findings include the following: Flexibility is highly valued by all generations, with only 11 percent of total respondents favoring mandatory “9 to 5” hours in the workplace. Across all groups, flex hours – characterized by an alternative, yet defined schedule – is preferred over no set hours, with Generation X voicing the strongest preference for this type of flexibility. All generations agree that there is a high correlation between work environment and productivity. When it comes to the amenities that contribute to a comfortable environment, privacy and abundant light ranked No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, for every group of respondents. Open offices, or “hoteling,” was viewed most favorably by Millennials, while private offices received the most votes from Baby Boomers. However, in total and by generation, respondents overwhelmingly prefer a mix of private and open office space. The preference for downtown living more than tripled between Baby Boomers and Millennials, at 19 percent and 64 percent, respectively. The importance of social media to professional life is inversely related to age: only 4 percent of Baby Boomers feel that social media is very important, compared to 7 percent of Gen Xers and 20 percent of Millennials. Of the Generation X respondents, 56 percent reported that they identify more strongly with Baby Boomers, and 44 percent reported that they identify more strongly with Millennials. This gives Gen Xers, as a whole, a broad perspective of the wants and needs of today's workforce. “Because of their age and experience, Gen Xers are often a natural fit for leadership positions,” Dolly said. “This group is equipped to bring proven skills and thoughtful creativity that enables all generations to make valuable contributions and positions the organization to excel.”

Editor's Note: The audio podcast is now available How often do you want to share with friends what you just heard in an audio news story or podcast? Would you want to send them a short snippet of the audio and a link where they could hear more? Now, you can do just that with a recently introduced app called Clammr (clammr.com). There is an iPhone app ready and you can sign up to be notified when the Android app launches. The concept is the brainchild of Parviz Parvizi and his partner David Silverman. “We created Clammr as a process of bridging audio into social media,” Parvizi said in an interview. “One of the things that we observed is that social media is now where people find things to consume, it is the primary driver of traffic to websites, but audio really isn't present on social media.” One reason for that is that audio podcasts are usually 20 minutes in length, and are “hard to penetrate,” Parvizi says. “If you actually shrink the unit size down, that makes it more appropriate for consumption and engagement on social media,” he says. Parvizi and his Clammr co-founder David Silverman got the idea because both of them discovered they were auditory learners when they met in law school. “We were in the same small group, and we figured out pretty quickly that we were among the slowest readers in the history of our law school,” Parvizi recalled. “We bonded very quickly over that.” The pair began exchanging audio clips through shared folders, or text messages containing timestamps for particular audio excerpts. It was Silverman, Parvizi says, who came up with the idea of being able to “tweet audio.” You can record a Clammr from either the website or from the smartphone app. It can't be longer than 24 seconds. When you share it via social media, the sound clip will have a link back to the original source, so if you send out a clip from a longer podcast, your followers can go back to the full program to listen. You can look up podcasts in the Apple iTunes Store, and select portions of a program to convert into a Clammr. The Clammr app and website include a browser-based audio editor that can be manipulated with finger swipes on the phone to create the short clip. “I think it's very human to want to share with the community and get feedback from that community,” says Parvizi, noting that in the 200,000 years that modern humans have been around, only about five percent of that time has included the use of written text. “In a lot of ways, we're wired to speak and listen and do goofy things visually. The ability to record a Clammr live from a smartphone also offers an additional way for citizen journalists to deliver live reports from the scene of an event. It's a bit of a challenge to hold your commentary under 24 seconds, but it can be done. The app lets you listen to Clammrs from people you follow as an unending stream, and it's actually an interesting way of catching up quickly. I listened to the NPR stream of Clammrs, and it almost seemed like it was just a shorter version of the Morning Edition Show that was just reporting the headlines. I've used Clammr to create short teasers for news stories I'm reporting on the commercial real estate news website GlobeSt.com, and picked up about 30 listeners for each short audio program. You can hear my efforts at http://www.clammr.com/app/podcaststeve. With a bit of perseverance, it could be a great way for podcasters, journalists, and other content creators to promote their products. What kinds of audio would you share with your friends?
