In an article by Jason DuFault, Regional Managing Director/Southern California/KW Commercial – Long Beach, Mr. DuFault opines on topics ranging from financing challenges to investing in ‘landlord unfriendly’ markets. We’re all aware of the cost of debt in today’s capital markets. Interest rates near 7.00% and LTV’s in the 50% – 60% range require investors to come in with more equity than in years past. Buyers understand this dynamic results in many deals simply not getting done. DuFault cites owners and operators that who are focusing on maintaining and/or increasing NOI via identifying ways to limit expenses. Bottom line for investors per Mr. DuFault is for them to be incredibly strategic with both their short- and long-term multifamily investment plans.
