How can a $20 monthly fee or a minor tweak in rent comps add hundreds of thousands to your property's value—and why are so many investors missing this? In this eye-opening episode, Anna Latysheva and Fernando Arias dive deep into the nuanced world of real estate underwriting, market rents, and the often-overlooked impact of "other income" on a property's valuation. Through detailed examples and practical advice, they reveal how strategic income streams—like pet rent, parking, and even laundry contracts—can dramatically shift your investment game. This episode demystifies how seasoned investors extract additional value and remain competitive in tight markets like Denver.     [00:01 – 04:42] Beyond the Finish Line How comparing physical finishes and amenities side-by-side impacts rental pricing and strategy. Why understanding unit square footage variations is essential for evaluating true comparables. The significance of visual walkthroughs and local architecture knowledge when analyzing comps.   [04:43 - 08:32] Numbers that Speak How small rent differences significantly alter total income and overall property valuation. Why relying solely on tools like Rentometer can misguide your pricing strategy. The importance of understanding local cap rates and market behavior to assess a property's worth.   [08:33 - 13:06] Unlocking Other Income Streams What “other income” sources (pet rent, parking, laundry) add to your bottom line. The need to align with local norms—what's considered standard in your market to stay competitive. Why ignoring ancillary income results in undervalued offers and lost opportunities.   [13:07 - 21:12] Boosting NOI with Rhino & Surety Bonds How deposit alternatives like Rhino reduce move-in barriers while protecting landlords. Why structuring a move-in fee versus traditional deposit boosts cash flow. The significance of understanding tenant behavior and legal safeguards in using these services.   [21:13 - 22:41] The Small Charges That Scale How credit reporting fees, trash valet, and CAM charges stack up in large portfolios. Why customizing income streams to tenant lifestyle trends future-proofs your model. The importance of questioning old norms (like cable packages) to adapt to current needs.       Connect with Anna:   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ibuybuildings/   Connect with Fernando:   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fernandoapartments/     Key Quotes:   “You really need to hone in on what's my true market rent for this property.” - Fernando Arias   “People just love to live with pets—even in a 500 square foot apartment.” - Anna Latysheva     Visit sponsorcloud.io/contact today and unlock $2,000 of free services exclusively for REI Rocks community members!

Navigating Multifamily CRE in a Volatile Environment Insights from Paul Fiorilla, Director of U.S. Research at Yardi Matrix   Paul Fiorilla offers a data-driven view of today's commercial real estate (CRE) landscape using the vast resources he has at his disposal at Yardi.   While market sentiment may be growing more optimistic, Fiorilla acknowledges investors should separate short-term mood from long-term fundamentals. His perspective, rooted in close analysis of multifamily data and macro conditions, is both pragmatic and cautionary: yes, there's capital on the sidelines and deals are getting done but many investors may be misreading the durability of recent tailwinds and underestimating latent risks.   Short-Term Confidence, Long-Term Industry   Real estate is an inherently long-term, illiquid asset class yet, much of the current market behavior appears to be anchored in short-term confidence (and short term memories). That dissonance should give investors pause. While macroeconomic shocks like tariffs, interest rate hikes, and political uncertainty do not immediately register in quarterly CRE data, their effects compound over time.   Investor sentiment, meanwhile, remains buoyant. Debt markets have resumed activity, stock indices are back near prior highs, and many assume the worst is behind us. But the lagging nature of real estate data means we're still months away from fully seeing the impacts of recent fiscal and geopolitical developments.   Multifamily Fundamentals: A Shifting Landscape   Fiorilla addresses the fundamentals of the multifamily sector, noting that demand has remained strong in recent years, but the distribution of that demand is shifting. Rent growth is no longer universal. Over the past 15 months, metros in the Midwest and Northeast, markets like Chicago and New York, have consistently posted moderate, steady rent growth. In contrast, high-growth Sunbelt cities such as Austin, Atlanta, Nashville, and Salt Lake City are experiencing flat to negative rent trends.   What's driving this bifurcation is primarily supply. In oversupplied markets, absorption hasn't kept pace with new deliveries. Despite a sharp national decline in starts, down approximately 40% year-over-year, the existing pipeline remains heavy. Nationally, over 1.2 million units are either in lease-up or under construction. In high-growth markets, deliveries will continue at elevated levels for the next several years. Some cities may see 12–15% added to their multifamily inventory by 2027.   Fiorilla underscores that while national numbers suggest a tapering of supply, the local realities are more complex. Markets that arguably need more housing, Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago for example, are seeing similar slowdowns in new development as oversaturated markets. The result is a continued misalignment between where capital is building and where it's most needed.   The Waning Tailwinds of Demand   Fiorilla also points to softening demand drivers that may soon undermine current assumptions. Over the past several years, demand has been supported by several powerful tailwinds: robust job growth, high immigration, and pandemic-era trends such as household formation and suburban relocation. But these are now tapering.   Net immigration, while still meaningful, is slowing. Job growth has begun to decelerate. Moreover, federal employment cuts and delays in private-sector hiring – driven by political and fiscal uncertainty – are contributing to a weakening outlook for household formation. These are not necessarily signs of imminent distress, but they do suggest that the extraordinary absorption rates of 2021–2022 will be difficult to sustain.   As Fiorilla puts it, “the risks are to the downside.” He's not forecasting a collapse but cautions against overreliance on recent performance when underwriting future deals, particularly in light of ongoing supply pressure.   Policy Risk and the Fragility of Subsidized Housing   Among the more underappreciated risks in the market, Fiorilla emphasizes policy risk, especially in affordable and subsidized housing. He notes that while programs like LIHTC and Opportunity Zones appear safe, others such as Section 8 are under pressure.   Of particular concern are proposals to convert these programs into state-administered block grants. While this may seem like a technocratic shift, it would represent a material change for property owners. Federal guarantees would be replaced by varying state-level funding regimes, increasing payment risk and reducing the predictability that underpins underwriting in the subsidized housing sector. For owners reliant on these programs, even modest payment disruptions could be “catastrophic,” he notes.   Interest Rate Volatility: The Real Pain Point   Turning to capital markets, Fiorilla distinguishes between the level of interest rates and the pace at which they change. Today's rates, he argues, are not historically high. Pre-GFC, rates were often at similar levels. What's destabilizing is the speed of change. A sharp increase from near-zero to 4–5% within a single year has impaired refinancing feasibility and upended underwriting assumptions.   This volatility, not the rates themselves, has created most of the current distress. Borrowers facing refinancing at double or triple the prior coupon are under strain. And yet, transaction activity persists, with many deals still pricing at thin or even negative leverage. Why? Because the #1 driver of compressed cap rates is investor confidence in future cash flows. The belief that rents will continue to rise justifies aggressive pricing – until it doesn't.   This mindset echoes pre-GFC sentiment, where rent growth was taken as a given. Fiorilla is quick to clarify that today's market is not nearly as reckless. Still, elevated pricing in an environment of cooling fundamentals could leave investors dangerously exposed to even mild shocks.   Quiet Distress and the Maturity Wall   Another issue masked by short-term optimism is the growing volume of loan maturities. These include both regularly scheduled maturities and loans previously extended during 2021–2023 that are now reaching their end.   Fiorilla notes that many of these are being addressed quietly. Lenders, reluctant to force asset sales, are working with borrowers on a case-by-case basis. The result: distress is real, but it's largely invisible. There's little evidence of forced portfolio liquidations or widespread delinquencies – yet.   The availability of capital, particularly for multifamily, is helping to buffer these pressures. There's no shortage of dry powder. But absent a sharp rate reversal or improved clarity from policymakers, the sector could see a slow bleed of marginal deals rather than a systemic reset.   Underappreciated Geopolitical Risk   One of the most thought-provoking parts of the conversation concerns CRE's growing sensitivity to global and political dynamics. This is a structural change. The U.S. has long benefited from its role as a stable, rule-of-law jurisdiction. But shifts in foreign policy, trade restrictions, and political dysfunction are beginning to weigh on foreign investment.   Declining Canadian cross-border investment and tighter restrictions on visa travel are, in part, evidence of this shift. These aren't headline stories but they are meaningful. If the U.S. loses its perception as a reliable haven for capital, CRE pricing could face downward pressure from shrinking foreign demand. This is a long-term trend worth monitoring closely, not a transitory blip.   What He's Watching   When asked what indicators he watches most closely, Fiorilla points to three primary metrics: Occupancy Rates – Particularly in high-supply markets. Stabilized occupancy below 94% would be an early warning sign. Absorption Trends – A sustained drop in household formation or leasing activity could signal weakening demand. Employment Data – Job losses, especially if broad-based, would ripple into rent growth and occupancy. He also monitors transaction volume as a proxy for investor confidence. If deal flow freezes again, that would signal a recalibration of forward expectations.   Final Reflection   While Fiorilla resists giving investment advice, his closing thoughts reflect a conservative posture. He's not sitting on the sidelines entirely but he's not rushing in either. Caution, portfolio balance, and realistic expectations are the guiding principles.   For CRE professionals, this conversation is a reminder to look past sentiment and dig into the data and the fundamentals: local supply pipelines, policy shifts, interest rate trends, and the fragility of assumptions underpinning future rent growth. The macro backdrop is far from stable and the margin for error, even in multifamily, may be thinner than it appears.   *** In this series, I cut through the noise to examine how shifting macroeconomic forces and rising geopolitical risk are reshaping real estate investing.   With insights from economists, academics, and seasoned professionals, this show helps investors respond to market uncertainty with clarity, discipline, and a focus on downside protection.    Subscribe to my free newsletter for timely updates, insights, and tools to help you navigate today's volatile real estate landscape.

Ryan Heddleston's journey from small-scale real estate investments in Pittsburgh to managing large-scale multifamily properties in Texas is a great example of how strategic partnerships and expertise can lead to substantial growth. His decision to partner with experienced operators allowed him to scale quickly, which paid off—he acquired over 6,000 units across 34 properties, worth more than $500 million in total capitalization. However, even seasoned investors like Ryan can encounter challenges, and one key issue he identified was the high property tax rates in Texas, which can significantly impact profitability. To address this, Ryan and Clayton Sievers co-founded Valorum Tax Advisors. By combining their deep understanding of the local tax landscape with their expertise in multifamily properties, Valorum specializes in helping operators reduce property tax burdens. Their services focus on fighting unfair property tax assessments and providing accurate tax estimates, crucial for both current property owners and those looking to make acquisitions.

In the rapidly evolving world of real estate, having the right mindset often sets apart the successful investors from the rest. Gino Barbaro, a seasoned real estate investor and author, sheds light on this pivotal concept in a recent podcast episode of Raising Private Money with Jay Conner. The discussion underscores not only the significance of mindset but also the art of attracting private money in a field often dominated by skepticism and fear.From Scarcity to Abundance: A Mindset TransformationGino Barbaro opens up about his early life, shaped by immigrant parents whose scarcity mindset dictated their relationship with money. This foundational outlook sowed seeds of fear and limiting beliefs, turning money into a source of anxiety rather than empowerment. However, Gino's journey into real estate catalyzed a profound shift. He learned that success wasn't about chasing money but creating value.One of the defining moments in Gino's career was realizing profit is merely the fuel for his ventures, not the endpoint. By treating profit as a facilitator rather than a goal, he found joy and freedom in raising capital, redefining his relationship with money from one of scarcity to abundance.Attracting Capital: The Art of Storytelling and RelationshipsJay Conner and Gino Barbaro share strategies for raising private money, emphasizing the narrative and relational aspects. In Gino's experience, multifamily investing requires more than understanding business mechanics (buying, financing, managing). It demands creating a compelling story about the investment and the investor's journey. Investors are more inclined to invest in people they trust, making personal conversations and genuine connections essential.Jay Conner supports this approach, highlighting that he has never aggressively pitched deals. Instead, he adopts an educational stance, nurturing relationships with potential lenders by focusing on value and service.Confidence Through Knowledge and PartnershipConfidence is another cornerstone of successful capital raising. Gino advises newcomers to bolster their confidence through rigorous study and real-world practice, often by partnering with seasoned investors. His transformation from an Italian restaurant owner to a full-time multifamily investor stands as a testament to the power of self-reinvention.During a pivotal negotiation, Gino embraced a new identity, shedding the "pizza guy" label and adopting that of a real estate investor. This change in self-identification provided clarity and motivation, demonstrating that confidence often emanates from how one sees oneself.Community, Relationships, and Continuous LearningBoth Conner and Barbaro stress the importance of community and relationships in building a successful real estate career. Isolation can stifle growth, whereas engaging with a community can enhance learning and confidence. For Gino, partnerships with individuals who share his values, like his business partner Jake and his wife Julia, have been instrumental in his success.Moreover, Gino's educational approach reminds us that learning is an investment. Whether through formal education or hands-on experience, continuous learning equips investors with the tools needed to navigate the complexities of real estate.Creating a Legacy of Value: The Happy Money ParadigmGino's new book, "Happy Money, Happy Family, Happy Legacy," delves into the intricate relationship between money and real estate. It challenges readers to consider not only financial legacies but also values-driven ones. By understanding why we pursue real estate, we align our financial goals with our intrinsic values, creating a more fulfilling pursuit.In conclusion, the path to success in real estate investing is paved with self-awareness, relational intelligence, and a commitment to continuous learning. By redefining our
