When the markets take a nosedive (or seem to be headed there), I reach out to one person… Adam Gower. With over 30 years of experience, Adam has transacted over $1.5 Billion in assets, raised over half a Billion dollars of equity, and always has the pulse of the market. That’s why, today, I discuss with Adam what’s shifting in the economy that is affecting us as sponsors and investors to rethink how we are raising capital. The multifamily real estate sector is in distress as we approach the next year… And educating investors is no longer just about raising capital—it’s about survival.  Interest rates and insurance rates are rising while rent growth slows down—a perfect storm for financial distress.  Unfortunately, sponsors who are unprepared for the downturn enter panic mode… And as competition battles for the highest IRR, there’s a lot of overpromising and under delivering. Match this with the fact that investors probably don’t know the technical jargon of an economic downturn and you’re left with a recipe for disaster (and downsloping funds). The key to making it through tough financial times is communication. Long before a downturn hits (or as soon as you’re aware of it), talk to your investors and keep them in the loop.  Don’t stay quiet when a deal isn’t panning out and only contact investors for a capital call. Focus on transparent communication and protecting your investors’ capital… That’s what secures your clients for future deals and keeps your credibility intact.  So, tune in today to learn how to navigate an economic downturn and make your capital calls count!
