Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP#92 Quinn Eddins | Mid-Year Multifamily Update
Q: What markets look most promising as green shoots for the rest of 2026?
Markets like Nashville, Atlanta, Raleigh show promise with positive tradeouts and lower supply growth; Phoenix and other high-supply markets are laggards but still on a positive trajectory, with timing varying by market.
EP#92 Quinn Eddins | Mid-Year Multifamily Update
Q: What does absorption tell us about demand versus supply right now?
Absorption is high relative to recent years, but it's heavily influenced by supply dynamics; a lot of the spike in absorption in previous years came from deliveries, and as deliveries slow, absorption naturally moderates, which may or may not reflect underlying demand strength.
EP#92 Quinn Eddins | Mid-Year Multifamily Update
Q: How did your expectations for 2026 compare to what actually happened so far?
I came in optimistic that we'd see a return toward normal rent growth, but the year has played out more pessimistically than I expected; demand has held up, but not as strongly as hoped.
EP#87 David Oelfke | Preferred Equity, Debt & Anything But Common Equity
Q: What early experiences shaped your view on entrepreneurship in multifamily?
Starting ARA soon after leaving CB Commercial, navigating the complex shift toward institutional capital, and building a national footprint while maintaining a partners‑first culture taught the value of trusted relationships and operational excellence.
EP#87 David Oelfke | Preferred Equity, Debt & Anything But Common Equity
Q: What distinguishes Marble Capital's approach to deal sourcing and underwriting in development deals?
We underwrite intensely, focusing on yield on cost, sponsor track record, basis, and market fit. We typically target 60% to 80% cost coverage with 7.5–8% debt yield, and we vet data on new supply closely to avoid overbuilding in submarkets.
