After a wave of failed real estate syndications and several years of declining commercial real estate prices, passive investors are understandably hesitant to deploy their capital. But despite mixed LP sentiment and economic uncertainty, today’s guest believes there’s reason for optimism and that multifamily real estate is poised to rebound.
Our conversation provides a data-driven perspective from one of the industry’s most informed voices, Andrew Cushman—a seasoned multifamily investor and operator with a portfolio approaching 3,000 units. We explore the macroeconomic forces reshaping the market, from stabilizing interest rates to supply slowdowns and a structural housing shortage that may fuel rental demand and rent growth for years to come.
Andrew also shares how he and his team are adapting their strategy for today’s unique challenges—tariffs, fluctuating supply, and recession fears. We even unpack the operator dynamics behind syndication failures and identify clear red flags to avoid when choosing where to invest your capital. Whether you’re a new investor or an experienced limited partner, join us as we discuss the state of multifamily in 2025 and the opportunities that may define the next cycle.
