The Best Ever CRE Show

In this episode of Next Level CRE on the Best Ever CRE Show, Jeremy Roll, a seasoned multi-cycle real estate and alternative asset investor and president of the Roll Investment Group, joins host Matt Faircloth. Jeremy breaks down how to invest as a defensive investor in 2024 and beyond based on his experience before and during the 2008 recession and the COVID-19 pandemic.  He discusses where to invest during a recession (which is likely coming, he says — he explains why), the key indicator he’s following to determine whether or not we’re headed for a recession, and why he’s currently sitting on the sidelines to see how things play out economically. He also discusses the philosophy behind doing nothing, what he’s looking for to determine when it’s time for him to jump back in, and why — as a cash flow investor — he avoids negative leverage at absolutely all costs.
