141: The “Doom Loop” That Could Crash Commercial Real Estate w/Richard Barkham
The “Doom Loop” could cause banks, businesses, and commercial real estate to crash. With real estate valuations down, property owners begin to default, and credit tightens, causing the same cycle to repeat itself again and again, pulling banks and balance sheets down until we reach a bottom. But is this “Doom Loop” scenario just feeding the fear of a housing market crash, or are we months away from this becoming our new reality?We asked Richard Barkham, Global Chief Economist of CBRE, his take on what could cause a “Doom Loop” and what we should be prepared for. Richard’s team handles some of the planet’s most comprehensive commercial real estate data. When the masses run away in fear, Richard’s team sees opportunity, and if you listen to today’s episode, you’ll know exactly where the prices are too low to pass on.Richard gives his economic forecast for the next year, when the US could enter a recession, how high unemployment could get, and where commercial real estate prices are heading. While some commercial real estate sectors are facing dramatic price declines, others are looking surprisingly strong. But with a weaker economy and fear of a “Doom Loop” taking hold, are everyday investors safe from this potential economic catastrophe?In This Episode We Cover:he real estate “Doom Loop” explained and what could cause this chain reaction to tank asset pricesThe “global slowdown” and recession predictions for 2023 and 2024The weakest and strongest sectors of commercial real estate (and which ones are underpriced)Cap rate updates and what will finally cause prices to improve againBest buying opportunities in 2023 and assets with rising rents and declining pricesUnemployment, inflation, deflation, and what we can expect over the next yearAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowFind an AgentFind a LenderBiggerPockets ForumsBiggerPockets AgentBiggerPockets BootcampsJoin BiggerPockets for FREEOn The MarketJoin the Future of Real Estate Investing with FundriseConnect with Other Investors in the “On The Market” ForumsSubscribe to The “On The Market” YouTube ChannelDave's BiggerPockets ProfileDave's InstagramJames' BiggerPockets ProfileJames' InstagramThe Biggest Crash Imaginable is Coming For Commercial AssetsGrab CBRE’s “Midyear Global Real Estate Market Outlook 2023”Books Mentioned in the ShowReal Estate by the Numbers by Dave MeyerConnect with Richard:Richard's LinkedInClick here to listen to the full episode: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/on-the-market-141Interested in learning more about today’s sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself?
