What is the biggest challenge facing your industry today? There are certainly a handful of new challenges coming into the real estate industry that were not as prevalent in previous years. First and foremost is rising interest rates on most fixed-rate loans. The Federal Reserve has raised interest rates 225 basis points in less than six months in 2022, which has impacted interest rates on loans for multifamily deals and, as a byproduct, is impacting the value of multifamily properties. Alongside this issue, insurance for multifamily properties has gone up significantly, mainly due to historic jumps in occurrence and magnitude of natural catastrophes, which has forced carriers to pay larger settlements more frequently, therefore increasing premiums. Both of these recent issues, coupled with a potential economic recession, has created some uncertainty and new challenges in our industry.
