Survival Kit:
The Outlook for the Southeast Apartments Market We are in unprecedented times. The state of the market 12 months ago seems like a bygone era. Last year, the Southeast was responsible for the majority of national job growth. In 2020, we are faced with a global pandemic, social unrest, and massive unemployment. And yet, reopenings are in full swing across the region. Developers are itching to get their pipelines restarted, while investors sit on the sidelines with piles of cash waiting to see how things will play out. How are these factors impacting the apartment industry across the Southeast?

New Reality:
Capital Markets for Multifamily Deals in the SoutheastIn the spring, the pandemic has derailed most deals, with only the most motivated of sellers proceeding to close. Meanwhile, equity sources largely pulled back waiting to see how the pandemic, unemployment, and reopenings will affect rent payments, rent levels, and occupancy rates, among other key metrics. Now that we’ve seen that rent collections are much better than feared, buyers are re-entering the market, driving new deals forward, some at discounts, and some at or above pre-COVID prices. Lenders as well are starting to re-engage at acceptable LTVs. What’s next for multifamily capital markets, and will there be special opportunities created by the pandemic? Join this special online panel to learn more about the state of capital markets, both debt and equity for multifamily deals across the Southeast.

Next Stage:
Multifamily Development, Construction & Design across the SoutheastThe COVID crisis has laid bare some structural issues and newfound risks, such as dependence upon China for materials, dependence upon immigrants in construction jobs, as well as the hazards of viral infection as a newly emerged construction safety issue. While the pandemic may have caused delays, it doesn’t appear to have helped an industry where costs were already soaring in recent years. How are developers, designers, and construction executives changing how they do their work today?

Everything Has Changed:
Adapting Value-Add Strategies to Today’s SituationClass C properties have been hit hardest by unemployment and non-payment of rent, while Class A properties have thus far been unscathed, although a prolonged period of economic depression could change that. The typical Value-Add strategy involves buying up B and C properties and upgrading them, if not to Class A, at least to a higher quality product that attracts higher-paying tenants. How has the pandemic changed all that, and what is the outlook for the value-add rehab model?
