When interest rates are rising, deals are falling through, and uncertainty dominates the headlines—what’s the smartest way to invest in commercial real estate?

In this episode of Commercial Real Estate Secrets, I’m joined again by real estate attorney and investor Steven Spierer to unpack how seasoned investors navigate volatility without losing their edge. With over 3,000 multifamily units under management and nearly five decades of legal experience, Steven shares what actually works when the market’s unpredictable.

We talk about patience, strategy, and why the most powerful investing move is often doing… nothing at all.

What You’ll Learn:

Why multifamily is more recession-resistant than other CRE asset classes
The case for C-Class industrial buildings (and why they’re undervalued)
How interest rates, tariffs, and policy shifts are reshaping 2025
Why flipping can be riskier than it looks
The power of buy & hold (plus a $6,250 duplex story you won’t forget)
The mindset that helps investors survive uncertainty—and come out ahead

Whether you're sitting on the sidelines or trying to make your next move, this episode is packed with timeless perspective and market-savvy strategy.
