We’re hearing a lot in the media about impending doom in the commercial real estate market. Should we be bracing ourselves for a repeat of 2008 and 2009? You might have seen Paul Moore’s recent BiggerPockets article titled "What’s Really Behind the Slew of Recent Commercial Failures", in which he urges us not to overgeneralize the term ‘commercial real estate’, and instead recognize that there are many asset classes in many locations, and many of them will be just fine. I’ve invited Paul back to the show to share his perspective on whether we should be bracing ourselves for a commercial real estate crash, and what he’s hearing from his network on where the distress really exists. Paul is the founder and managing partner of Wellings Capital, and a best-selling author on multifamily and self-storage.

One of the hottest real estate asset classes right now is industrial.  On the surface, industrial investment sounds great – you have a few tenants who pay their rent, all the bills, and sometimes even the property tax. But is it as easy as that? My guest today believes that Industrial is the hidden ATM of real estate investing. Shannon Robnett is a real estate developer with a principal focus on multifamily and industrial real estate in the greater Boise, Idaho area. He’s been in this market for over 27 years, he’s a 2nd generation builder and developer, and has been involved in over $425 million of construction projects. Today Shannon breaks down the numbers and reasons why Industrial is such a strong asset class. You’ll learn what type he builds, the tenants he prefers, and the types of financing he uses.

There’s a lot of speculation right now about the state of the real estate market and the outlook for multifamily apartments. Will we see a steep drop in value, or will sales pick back up once interest rates stabilize? And what direction will we see rents go? My guest today believes we will see a rise in demand for multifamily housing along with higher rents. As a builder, developer, and investor, he’s in a position to know. Eric Garrett is the Founder and CEO of The Garret Companies, ranked as one of the fastest-growing privately held companies in America. Since 1999, Eric has owned, developed, and delivered over 73 projects in 17 states totaling over 16,000 units and in excess of $3.5 billion in valuation. Today Eric discusses the type of apartment developments he builds, what he looks for in his site selection, and how he’s able to control costs by controlling his labor and material supply. Eric will also share why he believes the simple supply and demand equation will lead to higher rent increases.
