If you’ve been wondering where we are in the real estate cycle and whether 2025–2026 is a smart time to get into multifamily, this full market update walks you through everything you need to know.

In this video, I break down:

-What actually happened in 2021–2024 (cheap debt, overheated pricing, record supply, frozen transaction volume)
-Why interest rates, absorption, and rent trends matter more than headlines
-Why so many 2021–2022 buyers are distressed
-And whether right now is a rare buying window for new investors

We’ve personally acquired $30M+ in multifamily deals during the “worst” years — and in this breakdown, I show you exactly why we believe we’re still in the first or second inning of a brand-new cycle.

You’ll learn:
💡 Where We Are in the Market Cycle
→ How low interest rates in 2021–22 caused prices to skyrocket and why the correction was inevitable

💡 Why 2023 & 2024 Froze the Market
→ The massive gap between sellers' expectations and buyers’ reality

💡 Record Supply & Absorption Trends Explained
→ Why over 1 million new units created short-term pressure but long-term opportunity

💡 Why 2025 Is Seeing a Surge in Transactions Again
→ Rate cuts, stabilized rents, and better underwriting conditions

💡 Is It a Good Time to Invest? (Data + Real Numbers)
→ Why the same $1M NOI property went from a $25M valuation to ~$16.6M
→ How investors are buying at 20–30% discounts

💡 Where the Real Opportunity Is (Distress Deals)
→ Why many 2021–22 buyers are running out of time, cash flow, and loan runway

This video will help you understand EXACTLY what’s happening in multifamily right now — so you can invest confidently instead of guessing.
