True Market Thermometers, The Dynamics of Risk and Uncertainty, and Distressed Real Estate Assets ft. Andrew Cushman and Brian Burke

from The Best Ever CRE Show · host Joe Fairless

J Scott invites Andrew Cushman and Brian Burke to a conversation about why the market is currently a “traffic collision” at a four-way intersection, with some assets suffering 50-70% drops while others are barely dented. Andrew shares the importance of operational excellence and how savvy investors are capitalizing on distressed properties, even as the broader market remains uncertain. Brian emphasizes why cap rates and NOI are your true market thermometers and how understanding their movements is critical to navigating the current downturn. Both guests dive into the bifurcated reality of today’s multifamily landscape: safe, cash-flowing Class A assets are holding their value, while lower-end properties face extreme distress with vacancy rates soaring and delinquencies through the roof.
