📝 Summary Transcript:
Reed Goossens and Scott Kidd explore the multifamily real estate landscape in 2025. Reed opens by discussing the lingering impacts of Covid-19 and the transition from low to high interest rates, which caused asset values to drop and deal flow to slow. Still, he’s optimistic about opportunities in cities like Phoenix and Dallas due to strong absorption and stabilized rental markets.
They discuss how rising interest rates and limited housing inventory have prolonged renter lifecycles, despite recent spikes in delinquencies. Reed notes signs of a slow recession, while Scott points to historic yield curve inversions as early warnings.
The conversation shifts to technology’s impact on real estate. Reed and Scott agree that AI enhances—but won’t replace—human roles in property management and investor relations. Reed shares his team’s use of AI in underwriting and communications, and Scott highlights ChatGPT and other tools for tenant prospecting.
They reflect on the consequences of aggressive underwriting during the pandemic and emphasize the importance of sound fundamentals today. Reed explains that his company is continuing its consistent pace of 3–5 acquisitions annually, and exploring adjacent investment spaces like M&A to diversify yield. The episode closes with encouragement for investors to continue learning, seek out sound operators, and make informed, long-term decisions.
