Without diving into the politics of it, how do you think the tariffs are going to affect multifamily?

Feel free to expand in the comments. For example, clearly construction and development is going to be much differently impacted than other parts of multifamily.

Brent Williams Joe Bromen Unfortunately LinkedIn only allows 4 options so I had to make a tough decision. Great point, though!

Guest Insider For Florida the demand will TRUMP (no pun intended) any negatives related to cost or supply.

Guest Insider There are so many ways to look at this! From an investor perspective; The economic shifts are encouraging people to invest more of what they might traditionally place in the stock market, into multifamily. Our fundamentals are stable and strong in the short and long term- provided you invest with the right strategic partner. From an asset management perspective, I have deep consideration for how this impacts renters. They are being squeezed on cost from all fronts and I think will be seeking conservatively priced housing if they must move, and renewing if they don't have to. My investment management strategy is very much focused on reducing operating costs, especially on utilities and services. Capital expenses on stabilized assets are lean, mean, and focused on ROI (think solar, internet, sustainable measures to lower utility costs). On new construction, increased cost on construction will continue to impact underwriting and the success of deals, with the potential to slow supply... Show more

These are my thoughts...today! I'm sure as I learn more, they will change :)

Guest Insider Curious to see results on this one.

Mya Estrada Ooh this is interesting!

Guest Insider I’m not about calling out any one company in this forum but there is one ILS that stands out to me for unqualified leads. Their system immediately sends leads when they only click on your community. The leads almost always have email as the preferred method of contact instead of phone. Follow up is done according to their preference and if they respond at all, they are seldomly actually actively looking or interested in the community.

As RETCON is drawing near, I wanted to highlight sessions that are in my sights. These are all multifamily-related, but I will probably branch out beyond our space, as there are always valuable lessons to be gained from other parts of real estate and beyond. From Vision to Victory - Drive Change Through L&DC-suite executives striving for a competitive edge often overlook a powerful ally: Lear ...

After reading the top post on MFI today, I'm curious what you all think: Is it ok for managers/leaders to be friends with their employees?

Gerry Hunt Only if the friendship doesn't affect the work relationship!.

Kathy Vance As long as everyone is mature enough to know where to draw the lines between work and friends. I’ve had many friends who supervised me and many I supervised.

MARCI FRENCH It’s inevitable and should NOT impact the work.
