JF3848: Tariff Impact Analysis, Institutional Capital Return, & Market Cycle Positioning in Commercial Real Estate

On this episode of The Horizon, John Chang of Marcus & Millichap and Ben Leybovich discuss how recent economic shifts are creating unique investment opportunities in commercial real estate. They analyze how stock market volatility and new tariff policies are alienating international investors while prompting wealthy Americans to seek alternative investment vehicles. John shares insights from institutional players who are beginning to deploy capital into multifamily properties despite negative leverage, betting on future rent growth rather than immediate interest rate cuts. The conversation highlights why periods of elevated cap rates have historically proven to be excellent entry points for investors, and why commercial real estate remains attractive in uncertain times. Ben also discusses his innovative garage condo development project that's already 60% pre-sold, demonstrating how targeting affluent consumers with specialized real estate products can yield substantial returns even in challenging economic climates.
