The commercial real estate market has been faced with headwinds for years, and 2024 may not be any different. With weak growth in the sector and a high interest rate environment that has pushed the cost of ownership to new heights, the CRE space is expected to continue falling in value this year.
In fact, property values could fall another 10% after falling 11% last year, according to Capital Economics’ deputy chief property economist Kiran Raichura. He sees growth softening “as the industrial rent boom gives way to more ‘normal’ growth rates and apartment rents flatline,” he wrote.

In his recent article, BiggerPockets CEO Scott Trench did a great job enumerating all the reasons why multifamily is in the difficult position it’s in. If he had written these same things a year ago, I wouldn’t be writing this rebuttal—I would have simply said, “Ditto.”  
But I don’t believe that the picture he has painted is an accurate reflection of where things are headed. Here’s why.

1313 - J Scott Rebuttal to Scott Trench: Multifamily Will Be Fine by J Scott

Most investment strategies touted by gurus involve first buying a course to learn their strategy to get rich in real estate. While subject-to deals, wholesaling, syndicating, BRRRRing, Airbnb arbitrage, and fix and flipping, when done correctly, have undoubtedly been ways to make money, they all involve an element of risk or hard work to find deals.

1312 - Here’s the Blueprint to Financial Freedom Today—Even When Mortgage Rates Are High by Jeff Vasishta

If, like me, you check mortgage interest rates like an expectant parent checks their wife’s contractions, you doubtless will have analyzed every type of loan product in an attempt to inch the currently high rates down. 
Famed financial guru Suze Orman recently appeared on CNN extolling the virtues of an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM). But to many American homebuyers, mentioning an ARM is like the Ghost of Christmas Past returning to haunt us once more: Weren’t ARMs partly to blame for the 2008 financial crash? 
ARMs were derided in 2008 because many Americans got into financial trouble. Once their interest rates adjusted upward after three, five, or seven years, borrowers could not refinance down to a lower rate and fell into foreclosure.

1310 - Short Term vs Long Term Real Estate Investing by Chris Bibey

When you’re talking to real estate investors, they’ll often tell you how many doors they own, meaning how many rental units they have in their portfolio. Stating door numbers, however, can often be misleading. Generally, the real metric to keep track of is cash flow because, after all, profitability is what counts in any business, right? 
Sometimes, though, the two can get conflated, and on occasion, owning just a few doors, irrespective of cash flow, can be a good strategy for building long-term wealth.
