Top 10 Questions Facing Owners and Operators in 2024
If your plan for 2024 is “survive ‘til ‘25,” it’s not going to be that simple. In 2024, apartment investors and managers could easily see expenses growing faster than revenues in many markets, putting significant pressure on margins. Demand in 2024 should be strong, but can it keep pace with the multidecade high in new apartment completions? What about loan maturities and potential distress? And it looks like “higher for longer” is likely to stick.
In this webcast we dive into the top 10 questions facing the U.S. multifamily market for 2024 — from supply/demand fundamentals to capital markets to operational strategies — and share potential strategies for staying ahead. We’ll also give you a sneak preview of our always popular Voices series for 2024.
