RG 336 - How to Make Smart Business Decisions Based on Today’s Debt Market – w/ Ryan Parker

Ready to dive into more tips that will help you make better business decisions for 2023? Tune into this week’s episode with a very good friend of mine, Ryan Parker. Ryan Parker is a seasoned commercial real estate professional with extensive experience in financing, leasing, originating, and more. He is the Associate Director of Walker & Dunlop, responsible for originating for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, multifamily value-add, and commercial real estate debt placement. Ryan discusses the unique needs, risks, and difficulties associated with investing in industrial real estate. Specifically, we go into how to get a tenant in, what the market is like coming out of COVID, and Ryan’s opinions on how the debt markets will affect conservatism, refinancing, and investor or buyer behavior—plus many more topics that every real estate investor wants to hear in today’s uncertain times. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. One of the most critical factors of industrial real estate investing is the proximity to major transportation thoroughfares. 2. The market is still very liquid; there’s a lot of cash in the system for both the investor and capital sides. 3. Avoid making business decisions assuming that rates are returning to historical lows like 2020-2021. 4. At the end of the day, lenders don’t want to take deeds back. Consider keeping your returns now and seeing how things go for a few years.
