On this episode of The Horizon, John discusses the recent court ruling striking down President Trump’s tariffs and its broader economic and real estate implications. He explains how the legal back-and-forth introduces uncertainty, raising recession risks and inflationary pressures, which in turn could stall business investment and construction. John then examines how various commercial real estate sectors—apartments, retail, office, and industrial—are likely to be impacted by the economic turbulence, highlighting apartments as a relative safe haven. He closes with a deep dive on the timing of buying and selling real estate in light of potential tax code changes, especially the return of 100% bonus depreciation, and why he believes long-term fundamentals still support strategic acquisitions.
