In this episode of the Multifamily Masterclass Podcast, we dive into exciting updates across several of our active properties: Venture on Country Club, Venture on Broadway, Venture on Colter, and Venture on 52nd Street.

Join host Bart Diehl, Director of Investor Relations, as he sits down with Heather Andrews, Regional Property Manager, and John Kobierowski, President of Real Estate and Co-Founder of Neighborhood Ventures, to discuss:  - Current occupancy levels and leasing trends  - Renovation progress and upcoming improvements  - New additions to our property management team  - A major new tenant joining Venture on Broadway

 ...and other behind-the-scenes insights our investors won’t want to miss. Whether you're a current investor or simply curious about how we manage and improve multifamily properties, this episode offers a transparent look at how we’re continuing to add value across our portfolio.

Trump's unexpected 125% tariff on China has rattled markets and sparked volatility far beyond what most anticipated—especially considering tariffs weren’t a major part of his campaign. In this episode, Jamison unpacks how these developments are impacting construction costs, investor confidence, and multifamily real estate.

We dive into why stock traders may be cheering, but builders are bracing for impact. As new developments slow, existing multifamily properties look more appealing than ever. Jamison also dishes out some candid thoughts on market timing, and how diversifying your investments might be your best defense in uncertain times. The takeaway? In a volatile market, real estate—particularly multifamily—remains a beacon of stability.

In this episode of Multifamily Masterclass, we break down a historic Q1 for Neighborhood Ventures—our biggest fundraising quarter ever. We revisit the successful Elden UPREIT transaction and unpack the tax benefits of UPREITs and real estate investing more broadly.

We dive deep into our latest acquisitions: Venture on Colter and Venture on 52nd—two of the largest foreclosure multifamily deals in metro Phoenix this year. Hear the story behind how we acquired them at steep discounts, our current strategy to increase occupancy and rents, and what this means for our investors.

Plus, we discuss the booming success of our Opportunistic Fund, how we vet deals, and the pros and cons of direct investment versus fund investment.

Also in this episode:  - Why TSMC’s $160 Billion Arizona investment is a game changer for real estate

 - How new tariffs and rising costs are impacting multifamily operators and renters

 - Why now might be the time to buy, not build

If you're an investor, property owner, or just love talking shop about real estate, this is one episode you don’t want to miss.

Topic 1: Trump Won the Presidency Donald Trump is going to be the 47th president, and he has a republican majority in the Senate. We chat about how a Trump presidency is already changing the Stock Market, interest rates have gone back up which was a surprise to many voters. We have seen positive changes in the eyes of the market but we know there are always two sides to every story. We cover Trumps promises and where we think real estate fits into his plans. We also touch on immigration; Arizona being a state that is on the border of the U.S. and Mexico.

Topic 2: CNBC Goldman Sachs Forecasts S&P to perform well under 8% in the next 10 years (potentially closer to 3%). We discuss how this might make investors look at investing in other options such as treasury’s and real estate for higher returns.

Topic 3: Newsweek Article “A City within a City” This project, Halo Vista, happening in Arizona will add housing, industrial and office spaces. Chip designers, engineering students and other similar people will all be able to live in this community out by the TSMC plant. This will also bring thousands of jobs to the area.

Topic 4: Apartment REITs outperformed on rent growth. Lots of supply kept competition for units low and now, as supply plummets, competition is getting tighter and rents are going up. We are also seeing trends showing that mega apartment buildings with 500+ units are becoming less desirable, and people are looking to join a closer knit community at smaller apartment buildings.

This week, Multifamily Masterclass gets lively as host Bart Diehl teams up with panelists Heidi Butler and Jamison Manwaring to break down the latest news and trends in multifamily real estate—with plenty of laughs along the way!

First up, we dig into the heated debate on political rent caps. Are they a necessary tool to protect renters, or a barrier to investors? We explore how rent caps affect the multifamily market, the ongoing supply-demand dilemma, and whether a national rent cap is even possible. Can landlords and residents both win?

Then, we dive into why multifamily construction is taking a nosedive. In 2024 alone, 168,000 more units have been completed than started—what’s going on? We’ll discuss why this matters for investors, and whether rents and property values will rise as a result.

On a lighter note, we play a fun game with surprising data from Zillow, guessing which apartment amenities renters are hunting for—some answers may shock you!

Finally, we tackle Arizona’s sizzling buzz, from the much-anticipated Cannon Beach water park finally opening to the pickleball craze sweeping the state. And with the steady flow of Californians moving in, could Arizona be on its way to becoming a blue state? Arizonans have plenty to say, especially those chanting, “Don’t California my Arizona!
