Course Description
TITLE: Navigating the Shift: Investor Strategies Amid Long Beach’s Multifamily Sales Decline**
In this speech, we will explore the dynamics of Long Beach’s multifamily real estate market, focusing on the diverging trends between the 4-unit market and the 5+ unit market. We will delve into the rising multifamily inventory and examine the impact of increasing interest rates on market conditions. Key topics will include the decline in sales, stringent loan requirements, and substantial down payment needs to meet Debt Coverage Ratios (DCR). Additionally, we will address the implications of maturing loans, the rise in cap rates, and the consequent decrease in real estate values. A thorough analysis of rent projections and the influence of rent control policies in Long Beach will be provided. Furthermore, we will discuss the growing popularity of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and other significant trends shaping the market. This speech aims to equip investors with strategic insights to navigate the current challenges and opportunities in Long Beach’s multifamily sector.
