Neighborhood Ventures CEO Jason Manwaring joins co-host Kyle Macdonald to break down the biggest housing and multifamily trends heading into 2026. From Phoenix's shift into a more stable, normalized market to the surge in concessions across major Sun Belt cities, they explore what today's data is really telling investors. The episode also tackles the renewed debate around rent control—and why history shows it often backfires. If you want a clear, data-driven view of where multifamily is headed, this episode delivers.

As 2025 comes to a close, multifamily investors are facing a market defined by shifting interest rates, slowing construction, and emerging distress—especially across the Sun Belt. In this episode of Kiss My Assets, Kyle Macdonald and Neighborhood Ventures CEO Jason Manwaring break down what's happening beneath the surface of the Phoenix multifamily market. They discuss SOFR versus the 10-year Treasury, why rate cuts haven't translated to lower long-term borrowing costs, and how government debt is influencing the bond market. The conversation also examines two notable Phoenix deals—a high-profile office-to-multifamily conversion at Central and Camelback and a $100M ground-up development breaking ground despite a sharp drop in permits. Finally, they explore why short-term softness in Sun Belt markets may be creating long-term opportunity for disciplined investors heading into 2026.

In this episode of the Kiss My Assets Podcast, Kyle Macdonald and Neighborhood Ventures CEO Jamison Manwaring break down one of the most surprising storylines in U.S. real estate: the historic 2025 multifamily absorption boom that stunned analysts nationwide. We unpack why over 725,000 units were absorbed in just two quarters—surpassing all of 2024—and what's driving renters away from homeownership and into newly built apartments across the country. Jamison also dives into how Phoenix compares to challenged markets like Austin, why institutional forecasters missed the mark, and why long-term investors should care about the "lock-in effect" reshaping housing supply. The episode then shifts to projected rent growth in 2026, why many operators are preparing for a rebound, and what savvy investors should watch for as the national supply pipeline normalizes. Finally, Kyle and Jamison discuss one of Arizona's most eye-opening recent transactions: Next Wave Investors acquiring The Avi in Tempe for $40M—a 40% discount from its 2022 peak price. They break down how distressed deals are emerging, why 2022 buyers are struggling, and how Neighborhood Ventures is navigating this moment with disciplined acquisitions. A data-backed, candid conversation for anyone tracking the future of multifamily investing.

In this episode of the Neighborhood Ventures Podcast, Bart Diehl sits down with Nick Jackson and Kyle Macdonald to break down why multifamily lending has surged 36% year-over-year and what it means for investors. The team discusses the five consecutive quarters of rising lending activity, greater clarity in pricing, the wave of maturing loans hitting the market, and renewed willingness from lenders to underwrite deals after two years of volatility. They also dive into why out-of-state firms from Chicago, LA, and New York are aggressively buying in Metro Phoenix—spanning value-add properties, Class A luxury, and ground-up development. Finally, they unpack how Arizona's Opportunity Zones, massive federal investment, and Nvidia's announcement of U.S. chip manufacturing in Phoenix are reshaping long-term job growth, rental demand, and multifamily valuations across the Valley. A packed episode for anyone watching Arizona real estate.

In this episode of the Neighborhood Ventures Podcast, Bart Diehl sits down with the Investor Relations team — Kyle Macdonald and Nick Jackson — to cover three big stories shaping the Valley. We kick off with ASU's run as the nation's most innovative university and what that means for talent retention and housing demand in Tempe. Next, we dive into the $850M redevelopment of Metrocenter Mall and its potential to transform the I-17 corridor. Finally, we look at Phoenix's light rail expansion and why transit-oriented development is key to affordable housing and future multifamily growth. Whether you're a Phoenix native or an out-of-state investor, this conversation highlights why the Valley remains one of the most exciting real estate markets in the country.

In this episode, the Investor Relations team—Nick Jackson, Kyle Macdonald, and Bart Diehl—dive into three big topics shaping Arizona's future. From the nostalgia (and pain) of stepping on Legos to the major news of Lego's Consumer & Shopper Engagement team moving to Tempe, we explore why global brands keep choosing the Valley. We then break down which Phoenix suburbs are leading the nation in both growth and affordability, and what that means for first-time buyers versus renters. Finally, we tackle the massive ripple effects of TSMC's $40B chip plant, including the ambitious North Park master-planned community and what this surge in jobs and development means for multifamily investors. Whether you're a Lego fan, a future homeowner, or an investor eyeing Phoenix's rapid growth, this episode connects the dots between lifestyle, economic development, and real estate opportunities.

Everyone knows the story: you start with a paperclip and trade your way up to a house. Canadian blogger Kyle MacDonald made it happen in 2006 with his One Red Paperclip project. Could this principle, on a smaller scale, be applied to watches? Today on Fratello Talks, Nacho, Thomas, and RJ join to discuss the topic and share their experiences trading their way up. It was a potentially lucrative pursuit back in the day, but whether you can still trade to upgrade your watch today remains to be seen.

Before The Bicycle Caught On, People Road Around On This Dandy Horse. Welcome to May 29th, 2021 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate a good way to get around and a crazy way to trade up.  Have you ever heard of a velocipede? It may sound like something out of Jurassic Park or even a giant insect, but it's something a lot more ordinary. A velocipede was an early version of the bicycle, but without a key feature. Instead of using pedals, riders would propel the vehicle along with their legs and once it was going fast enough, they would pick up their feet and cruise along. A lot of people thought these looked silly and gave them the nickname “dandy horses,” which wasn't the nicest expression at the time. About 50 years later, pedals and a chain were added and we got what we know today as bicycles. May is National Bike Month and today is the perfect day to get out and enjoy Spring! Have you ever heard the story about the guy who traded a paperclip for a house?  Kyle MacDonald, a Canadian blogger played the childhood game called Bigger, Better and started with a simple paperclip.  The idea of the game is that you keep trading up for something bigger and better until you reach an item you would actually like to keep.  At first Kyle traded his paperclip for a fish-shaped pen.  After thirteen exchanges he found himself with a movie role, which someone offered to trade for their two story farm house in Kipling, Saskatchewan!   Imagine turning an office supply into a house after only fourteen transactions.  On National Paperclip Day, celebrate the simple things in life that are worth more than you think!  I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson.  Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day.

Canadian blogger, Kyle MacDonald, posted a red paperclip on a website called “Craigslist” and wanted to see if he could get something bigger and better. Check out his amazing story of faith and ingenuity.

Welcome to our new student-led episode series, Engaging in the Field: Student Stories from Field Education, that will be posted on Sundays during spring of 2021. One of our Divcast student interns, Evelyn Archer-Taminger, M.Div. ’21 is taking over the host role for this series. She connects with other current residential Master of Divinity students to tell stories of their experiences with Duke Divinity School’s Field Education program. Field Education is a required component of the M.Div. degree and serves as a valuable companion to classroom academic work. Students serving in contextual learning in a variety of placements including in churches, nonprofits, agencies, and in hospitals as clinical pastoral care interns nurtures growth both in their vocational discernment and in their spiritual lives. In this first episode of the series, “Growing in Your Call,” Evelyn speaks with senior residential M.Div. students Kari Martin and Kyle MacDonald. Each has had a range of experiences with field education and weaves together how the placements they served in grew them in unexpected ways. Kari grew up part of a non-denominational church in Virginia and pursued placements at Duke where she could be formed in church settings affiliated with both the United Methodist Church and Cooperative Baptist Fellowship. While Kyle, came to Duke from Kentucky with tons of music ministry experience and grew his idea of what kinds of ministry God might be calling him into. Enjoy Evelyn’s conversation with her colleagues Kari and Kyle. Due to the ongoing complexities of the COVID-19 pandemic, pre-enrollment discernment opportunities for incoming students may be limited or eliminated. The Office of Field Education will make an official determination by April of 2021.
