What this episode covers

Episode 64 of "What's Hot, What's Not C.R.E." — Thursday, March 19th, 2026Topic: Class A, B, and C Multifamily Investment — Where Smart Money Is Allocating🔥 WHAT'S HOT:Class B workforce housing is the clear winner — stronger occupancy, steadier rent performance vs Class AClass B cap rates compressed to 4.92% showing strong investor demandSage Investment Group targeting 18-25% IRR on 5-year workforce housing holdsSan Diego workforce housing deal: $30M for 144 units (~$208K/door)Demographic tailwinds: Teachers, nurses, police, tradespeople renting longer due to mortgage ratesHotel-to-apartment conversions creating workforce housing at ~50% of ground-up costs72% of investors plan to moderately expand multifamily portfolios in 2026Class A luxury apartments — vacancy above 10% in many metros, 30%+ advertising concessionsClass A faces heaviest lease-up pressure from new supply; renters want rent discounts over amenitiesClass C challenged — higher delinquency, limited rent growth absorption, rising repair/turnover costsClass C vacancy elevated; risk-adjusted returns often don't pencil for passive investors❄️ WHAT'S NOT:💡 WHY IT MATTERS:The market is bifurcating. Class A struggles with oversupply and concession wars. Class C faces operational headwinds. Class B sits in the sweet spot — strong demand from workforce renters, stable cash flows, value-add upside without Class A competition or Class C risk. Core-plus and value-add strategies considered most attractive for 2026.🎯 INVESTOR TAKEAWAY:Target Class B workforce housing in supply-constrained markets — Midwest, Northeast, select Sun Belt metros with balanced fundamentals. Avoid Class A in oversupplied markets until concessions normalize. Class C requires hands-on management. The middle of the market is where the risk-adjusted returns live.🎧 Listen daily for your 3-minute institutional CRE briefing.🌐 Visit hotnotcre.com to learn more and subscribe to our newsletter.#CommercialRealEstate #CRE #Multifamily #WorkforceHousing #ClassB #ClassA #ClassC #ApartmentInvesting #MultifamilyInvesting #CapRates #ValueAdd #RealEstateInvesting #PropertyInvestment #AffordableHousing #RentalHousing #CREInvesting #SunBelt #Midwest #Northeast #Concessions #VacancyRates #RentGrowth #InstitutionalCRE #MarketUpdate #ThursdayBriefing #RealEstateNews #InvestorInsights #DailyPodcast #CREPodcast #WhatsHotWhatsNot #CorePlus #ValueAddStrategy #HotelConversion #Demographics #IRR

NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in
