The COO of our SunbeltFunds, Ian Garcia, shares his appraisal of what to expect in 2025 in the multifamily housing sector. 🏠 We expect a rebound in leasing activity driven by economic and wage growth combined with the large gap between the cost of renting versus buying. While some familiar headwinds from prior years will likely persist, we believe that demand will remain strong for the safe and affordable renovated apartments that our team manages through our Sunbelt Multifamily Workforce Housing funds. Read the full outlook here:  https://lnkd.in/eUAABv9b

Our CEO Thomas Carroll shared insights on Bloomberg Businessweek about how the recent Fed interest-rate reduction impacts real estate investments, including our own #SunbeltFunds. The US is building new housing at only about half the rate as before the Global Financial Crisis of 2008, which is why we focus on updating Class B and C assets to create safe, top-quality workforce housing that commands higher, yet still affordable, rents.
