  John Randall of Grandbridge Real Estate Capital talks about the capital available in the commercial real estate market. The risk-adjusted returns available in CML [capital market line] debt capital markets is superior to that offered by alternative investment classes, he says. “Until we see any meaningful steepener on the curve or significant disruption, there’s really no end in sight to the liquidity in both debt and equity flowing into commercial real estate.” This breeds fierce competition, but there has not been any meaningful slippage in risk terms or how lenders are underwriting assets. As far as the multifamily sector goes, Randall sees no end to the growing demand from renters. “As a country, we are underhoused to the tune of 3 million to 4 million units… and we’re running at an annual deficit in excess of 350,000 units,” he notes. Watch the interview to hear Randall’s insights on multifamily, as well as Grandbridge’s plans following the merger of BB&T with SunTrust to form Truist. (Grandbridge is a subsidiary of BB&T, now Truist.)   This video is posted as part of REBusinessOnline’s Finance Insight series, covering MBA CREF 2020.

ATLANTA — “Irksome” geopolitical factors such as Middle East flare-ups affecting oil production and capacity, kinks in the trade deal with China, post-Brexit uncertainty and the coronavirus, can all throw curveballs at 2020 economic growth prospects, says Rajeev Dhawan, director of the Economic Forecasting Center at Georgia State University’s Robinson College of Business. Dhawan says he worries most about the coronavirus due to the unknown nature of how long it will affect the world market. The biggest economic problem now, says Dhawan, is that Chinese factory workers are stuck at home due to the virus. “Unlike a finite event, such as a hurricane or earthquake, the coronavirus is still playing out, making it hard to assess economic impact,” explains Dhawan. “China is a vital part of the world’s supply chain for goods ranging from toys to iPhones. For an economic impact to happen, this disruption would need to last awhile, say until mid-April. When inventories run out, what will Amazon sell here? What will Apple and Samsung do?” Dhawan released his economic forecast Wednesday, Feb. 26 during his Forecast of the Nation, held at GSU’s Robinson College of Business in downtown Atlanta.
