Michael Ware, with Institutional Property Advisors in Dallas, shares critical information in making smart apartment investing decisions. Michael believes that Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) remains a top-performing multifamily market due to strong population and job growth. DFW multifamily trade volume has rebounded from $5 billion in 2023 to an expected $8–10 billion in 2024, to even higher in 2025 thus signaling recovery. Institutional capital is re-entering the market, focusing on Class A properties. Some of the challenges he saw were operational headwinds including oversupply, elevated concessions, and difficulties raising equity for deals over $10 million and workforce housing facing higher delinquency rates and vacancy issues, compounded by tenant-friendly eviction policies. Today, opportunities for institutional buyers are with Class A properties in prime locations, while B and C properties are offering better yields for private investors. Rent growth is expected to accelerate in 2025–2026 due to undersupply and affordability challenges in single-family housing. He offered advice to buyers: Smaller operators should focus on organization, transparency, and demonstrating financial readiness to compete with larger institutions, and well-located 1980s workforce housing offers strong potential for yield and long-term growth.

John Griggs shares his journey from practicing law to building Presidium, a company that has developed and managed over 20,000 apartment units. John transitioned from law to real estate in 2003, starting with small apartment buildings in Phoenix. He co-founded Presidium in 2005, expanding into Texas and other states, focusing on value-add and development projects. John comments on 1) Multifamily values have dropped 20-40%, presenting buying opportunities below replacement costs, 2) Equity investors are demanding higher returns, making underwriting more challenging, and 3) Development projects face hurdles like local politics, affordability requirements, and rising costs. John shares a couple of important lessons learned during this last cycle.
