Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP#108 Lonnie Hendry | How Will Rate Hikes Impact Rents and Multifamily Capital Markets?
Q: Is it fair to say that what we're seeing and we'll see is more of an equity distress story than a loan, the lender distress story?
Hendry agrees, saying equity is under pressure, especially for new deals, while debt funds and other sources of rescue capital remain available to recapitalize distressed properties.
EP#108 Lonnie Hendry | How Will Rate Hikes Impact Rents and Multifamily Capital Markets?
Q: What's your view on the health, the state of multi-million capital markets? And how much has your view changed in these last month or two since the feds hiked rates?
Hendry says higher rates have become a reality for dealmakers, raising borrowing costs and putting downward pressure on values. He expects the effects on deal volume to become clearer after the start of the year.
EP#107 Clay Grubb | Inside the World of Non-Traded REITs
Q: How does an investor know what the value of their investment is if it doesn't trade every day?
Grubb says investors receive quarterly account statements and reports listing investments, distributions, returns, property debt and appraisals. His company relies on third-party appraisals to establish values.
EP#107 Clay Grubb | Inside the World of Non-Traded REITs
Q: What is a non-traded REIT? How is it different from a traded REIT?
Clay Grubb says publicly traded REITs trade daily on stock exchanges, while non-traded REITs are privately held. His REIT operates more like an open-ended fund, allowing investors to enter and exit quarterly while avoiding some of the public market's volatility.
EP#106 Casey Petersen | Is Student Housing Doomed by an Enrollment Cliff? Not Exactly.
Q: How did you get into student housing?
Casey Petersen describes starting as a leasing consultant while in college, progressing through on-site roles to regional management and eventually COO, finding the industry engaging due to interaction with people and the need for hands-on management.
