From Doom to BOOM? Dr. Doom’s Shocking Market Outlook

We sit down with John “Dr. Doom” Drachman for a revealing look at how the multifamily market has evolved since the turbulence of 2022 and what passive investors can do now. John unpacks the factors that led to trouble (“overheated” markets, aggressive loan structures, and short-term flips), why true distress hasn’t fully materialized, and how today’s environment calls for more “boring,” long-term investing strategies. Tune in to learn why survival in 2022 doesn’t necessarily mean smooth sailing ahead, and discover the indicators John is watching to guide his next move in multifamily.
