When does it make sense to begin raising equity capital in a fund structure versus one deal at a time?

There are three reasons why investors are continuing to buy CRE with negative leverage.

Hefty rent increases and lofty valuations are becoming very scary.

Buying a CRE asset at a sub-5% cap rate is like buying a tech stock at a 100-price earnings ratio.

In this tumultuous environment, there are several concerns that investors should reevaluate to assure a successful investment.

Some examples include best-in-class management programs, revenue-enhancing capital improvements or financial engineering.

I see cap rates rising to an average of about 6.5% in 2022 and this will be good for CRE investors and developers.

The culture embedded in the firm dictates its business model, growth, hiring, management policies, operational strategy, and real estate program.
