147: Top Multifamily Investors’ Advice for Buyers in 2023? DON’T Do It! w/Brian Burke and Matt Faircloth

The multifamily real estate market went from bad to worse. Interest rates are still at record highs, cap rates have somehow stayed compressed, rent growth looks bleak at best, and sellers refuse to budge on their prices. As a result, inexperienced operators are picking up so-called “deals” to shop around to their investors—and they could be walking into a massive financial trap without even knowing it. If you want one hundred and one reasons NOT to buy multifamily right now, Brian Burke is here to help. But, if you want a counteracting force of optimism as to why you should pursue multifamily properties, Matt Faircloth can balance out this debate. These investors have owned and managed THOUSANDS of apartment units, but NEITHER of them has bought in over a year. Brian even went as far as selling most of his portfolio right before the commercial crash, a move many thought was far from wise at the time. These two time-tested multifamily experts come on today to talk about the commercial real estate crash, the “chaos” that could ensue over the next year, why inexperienced syndicators are about to bite the dust, and why multifamily investing may not be the move to make in 2023. Think this is just a bunch of scare tactics to keep you away from good deals? Tune in to be surprised. In This Episode We Cover: The multifamily market crash and why sellers are STILL asking for all-time-high prices Risky real estate debt and what you MUST know about commercial financing before you buy another property What Brian and Matt MUST see in a property before they send in an offer The “wave of foreclosures” that won’t come and deals being done in the shadows  What to do RIGHT now as the market is in shambles to make the most money in the future Cap rate compression and why these high multifamily prices can’t last And So Much More!
