Michael Ware, with Institutional Property Advisors in Dallas, shares critical information in making smart apartment investing decisions. Michael believes that Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) remains a top-performing multifamily market due to strong population and job growth. DFW multifamily trade volume has rebounded from $5 billion in 2023 to an expected $8–10 billion in 2024, to even higher in 2025 thus signaling recovery. Institutional capital is re-entering the market, focusing on Class A properties. Some of the challenges he saw were operational headwinds including oversupply, elevated concessions, and difficulties raising equity for deals over $10 million and workforce housing facing higher delinquency rates and vacancy issues, compounded by tenant-friendly eviction policies. Today, opportunities for institutional buyers are with Class A properties in prime locations, while B and C properties are offering better yields for private investors. Rent growth is expected to accelerate in 2025–2026 due to undersupply and affordability challenges in single-family housing. He offered advice to buyers: Smaller operators should focus on organization, transparency, and demonstrating financial readiness to compete with larger institutions, and well-located 1980s workforce housing offers strong potential for yield and long-term growth.
