Recession-Proof Properties

Get Strategies at Maximize

By Lee Ann Stiff on Sep 10, 2019 in Events, News

As we head into uncertain economic times, is your multifamily portfolio recession proof? Now more than ever, you need data you can trust and a smart revenue management strategy to set competitive rental prices, maximize occupancy and spend marketing dollars wisely. And, with the arrival of artificial intelligence and machine learning to inform business intelligence, computers understand what is happening in the market before people do.

In a July 2019 Forbes article, “Three Ways to Recession-Proof Multifamily Properties,” the author stated “Just as ‘all politics is local,’ so is real estate. In their Beige Book, the Federal Reserve governors said real estate activity is declining in some regions even as others pick up the pace. Much of that activity centers on multifamily real estate: 319,000 apartments are due for completion this year nationwide, which the Wall Street Journal determined is the most new units in about three decades. Local conditions should dictate new multifamily purchases and impact investors’ efforts to recession-proof already-owned properties.”
