    Keynote

    Since 2000, the nation’s housing stock, both single and multi-family combined, has suffered from underbuilding to the tune of 5.5 million units. As a result, conservative estimates put the total undersupply of housing stock in the United States at 6.8 million units. The presentation will look at the severe housing shortage against the backdrop of population migration patterns and other economic drivers to better understand how we arrived at the housing crisis and what the outlook is for opportunistic investing in the future.

    • Fundamentally, what created the housing shortage?
    • What was the impact of Covid-19, supply chain challenges and will it continue?
    • What is the impact of interest rates and availability of credit on housing?
    • What other factors are impacting housing?
    • Is it possible to benefit from the housing crisis while helping solve the problem?

    ApexOne believes the current economic crisis will ultimately create increased demand in multifamily properties by residents. Job uncertainty, reduced income, eroded personal wealth, and a tightening of the credit markets may result in residents remaining in rental properties longer; furthermore, we believe as new households are formed, more will elect to rent than own.Housing and nourishment are the two primary "needs" of individuals and families regardless of the economic picture. Shopping, entertainment, travel, luxuries, and other optional "wants" will be sacrificed during times of financial hardships to keep food on the table and a roof overhead. The necessity of housing along with the aforementioned trends and projections leads ApexOne to continue to believe the multifamily industry is uniquely positioned to weather market downturns, rebound more quickly from the recession and sustain rent growth following the recovery period longer than other real estate sectors.

    • Review Historical Performance of Real Estate sectors during and following past recessions
    • Sales Volume Activity leading up to and during the 2020 recession compared to the 2008 recession
    • Choosing the Best Multifamily Markets to invest in during the post COVID-19 Economy
    • Pricing Discounts and Return Expectations of Investment during and following the COVID-19 Recession
    • Targeting Acquisitions during and following the COVID-19 Recession
