Waterton co-founder, CEO and Chairman David Schwartz joins The Rent Roll podcast to talk contrarian apartment investing strategies with rental housing economist Jay Parsons. David shares his story getting into the multifamily industry in the 1980s amidst a period of economic turmoil combined with unfavorable views of apartments. He played key roles at then-emerging names like AMLI and Equity Residential before co-founding Waterton, where he's built a business around investing in out-of-favor markets. David and Jay talk about how a market can be favorable one day and then unfavorable the next, and also discuss the difference between a smart contrarian strategy versus a wild bet. Additionally, Jay breaks down the latest headlines in multifamily and SFR, while also opening up the history books for this week's Rental Housing Trivia.
