Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP#101 Lee Everett | 2027 Budgeting Hot Takes: Will Concessions Just "Burn Off"?
Q: What is your view on whether 2027 will be a rebound year for rent growth?
Lee Everett suggests that while some markets may see positive asking rent growth and occupancy improvements, a broad, strong rebound across all markets is unlikely in 2027; expect gradual improvement with ongoing stickiness in concessions, and a cautious but improving outlook overall.
EP#98 John Hofmann & Karen Purcell | Inside JPMorgan's Big Bet on Rental Housing
Q: What is JPMorgan's approach to balancing preservation and new construction?
Both preservation and new construction are valued; underwriting may differ, but both are necessary to increase supply and maintain affordability, with a focus on leveraging public-private partnerships and ensuring the end-user (the renter) has accessible, safe housing.
EP#100 James Ray | This Isn't 2008: Distress, NOI, & the Equity Swing
Q: Are we about to see a migration back into LP equity after this period of debt prevalence?
The guest suggests it's possible but not certain; the move would depend on changes in risk-reward perceptions, with some debate about whether equity will return quickly or gradually as capital seeks higher returns and improved NOI growth.
EP#97 Stephen Scherr | Inside Pretium + 5 Takeaways From The SFR REITS' Earnings Calls
Q: What do you see as the biggest impact of the final Road to Housing Act on the SFR industry?
The practical impact is in compliance and scale; larger players with capital and systems can comply more cost-effectively, while smaller operators may face higher relative costs and potential consolidation opportunities as the market settles.
EP#95 Frank Cassidy | Less Red Tape, More Supply
Q: Tell us about how you first got into the multifamily space and what drew you to this work.
Cassidy describes starting in college with Oppenheimer Multifamily Housing and Healthcare Finance, moving into origination, and building a top FHA/HUD lender before joining Walker & Dunlop, driven by a desire to serve the country and leverage private-sector experience.
