Interest Rates, Tax Uncertainty Help Slowdown of Multifamily Investment Sales, Says Franklin Street’s Darron Kattan

by John Nelson October 31, 2017

For the first time since 2009, the U.S. multifamily real estate sector’s annual sales volume is flirting with falling below the preceding year’s total. Through the first three quarters of 2017, U.S. multifamily investment sales totaled a little over $104 billion, according to Real Capital Analytics (RCA), which tracks sales of multifamily properties and portfolios that are $2.5 million and greater. Experts don’t anticipate sales activity in the last quarter of the year to be enough to surpass last year’s grand total of $160.6 billion in trade volume. As a follow up to the cover article “Coming Back Down to Earth” from the September issue of Southeast Real Estate Business, we caught up with Darron Kattan, managing director of Franklin Street’s Tampa office, to get his take on the U.S. multifamily market.

by Katie Sloan October 31, 2017

Always on the lookout for new yield-producing products, commercial property investors have turned affordable housing into the latest hot alternative real estate asset. Backed by government subsidies and incentives, affordable housing investments provide the relative safety and income of a high-yield Treasury bond or net-lease investment, which is hard to pass up in the crowded field that has driven up conventional property prices. “A lot of cash buyers and funds have come into the affordable housing market. They see it as a stable asset class,” says Heidi Burkhart, founder and president of New York-based Dane Real Estate, an affordable housing brokerage that has closed some $1.5 billion in transactions since 2008. “It’s a cool time to be in affordable housing; it’s a hot topic.” It’s going to get hotter. Economic and cultural trends portend a shortage of the product for years to come as college debt, unpredictable job creation, high home prices, rising rents and other variables are blocking home ownership and weighing down renters, according to observers and Affordable Housing: Emerging Asset Class, Global Investment Possibilities, a report issued by CBRE in July. In New York City, some 54 percent of renters in 2015 were “cost-burdened,” paying more than …
