Apartment Investing Challenges: Overcoming Rising Costs During Growing Rental Demand
Greg Frick and Jack Stephens discuss apartment investment the Portland metro area in 2025. They note the past challenges posed by COVID-19, higher interest rates, and a prolonged recovery. They compared the current situation to the 2008 recession, highlighting the slower institutional capital return and the impact of interest rate expectations. We have seen a shift in job growth to suburban areas like Clark County and discussed the city of Portland’s new government structure and its potential impact on apartment investment. The topic of rising insurance costs and the need for policy changes to encourage construction is explained. Still, despite the fact that recent sales volume of multifamily complexes has been below pre-2008 levels, they expect a gradual recovery driven by institutional capital and business and family succession planning.
