Bid-Ask Spread Continues to Throttle Down Multifamily Investment Sales, Say InterFace Panelists

by Channing Hamilton December 1, 2023

ATLANTA — Investors in the multifamily sector are having trouble getting deals done in 2023, and 2024 isn’t looking to start out much better. The culprit is the bid-ask spread — the gap between what sellers believe their property is worth and what buyers are willing to pay. That’s according to a panel of multifamily investors, several of whom described transacting in the present environment to be a “slog.” The panel, titled “Investment Outlook: When will the Bid-Ask Gap Narrow, the Market Stabilize and Transactions Resume in Earnest?,” was held …

Tech-Driven Renters Insurance Model Ramps Up Efficiency, Reduces Risk

by Sarah Daniels October 5, 2023

The failure of residents to meet coverage requirements or letting policies lapse can cost owners and operators significantly, according to TheGuarantors, a fintech company serving the multifamily industry. For some operators, this can mean up to hundreds of thousands of dollars in liability costs. It can be months before operators become aware that residents have changed or canceled their policy. Property technology (proptech) innovations have helped digitize every facet of the leasing, management, maintenance, rent collection and revenue management processes. However, most proptech improvements have traditionally been renter focused, rather …

Six Questions About California Eviction Moratoriums With New Standard Equities Founder and CEO Edward Ring

by Channing Hamilton October 4, 2023

Multifamily & Affordable Housing Business: How did each jurisdiction define the moratoriums in California? Did it vary? Ring: The eviction moratoriums began in California during the outbreak period of COVID-19. The immediate response from state and local governments was to prevent landlords from evicting non-paying residents via an ‘emergency order’ declaration. Each jurisdiction settled on their own methodology and created a near-impossible set of rules for landlords who operate in multiple cities. Often, a county had a set of rules, the city had a set of rules, and the state …

How to Serve the Middle-Class Market

by Channing Hamilton September 21, 2023

— By Ryan Hanks, CEO, Madison Capital — The combination of the flight from urban markets to the suburbs in the work-from-home era, the lack of accessible housing inventory and the rising cost of renting has led to a housing and affordability crisis for middle-class Americans nationally. Faced with its own challenges, including rising labor costs and an increasingly uncertain economic outlook, the multifamily industry has largely struggled to crack the code to arrive at a solution. The good news is that forward-thinking developers are deploying and refining strategies and …
