Key Takeaways:
Multifamily real estate, especially existing Class B and C properties, can be recession resistant due to people always needing a place to live
Healthcare real estate like medical offices is also recession resistant as people will continue needing medical care
Grocery-anchored shopping centers can perform well in recessions as people still need to buy groceries and other daily goods
It's important to underwrite conservatively, scrutinize tenants, and focus on acquiring assets that can withstand economic downturns through flexible leasing terms and creditworthy tenants
Strategies like locking in long-term fixed-rate debt ahead of potential downturns can help make portfolios more recession-proof
