Season 2 of The Kansas City Market Pulse kicks off with a focused, data-driven conversation on one of the most important themes shaping commercial real estate today: multifamily distress.

In this episode, host Logan Freeman sits down with Reid Bennett, National Council Chair of Multifamily Properties, to break down where distress is beginning to surface, how to properly qualify it, and what investors, owners, and brokers should be preparing for as we move deeper into 2026.

This conversation cuts through the noise and focuses on real signals, not headlines.

• What true multifamily distress actually looks like

• Early warning signs owners and investors should be watching

• How debt structure, loan maturities, and operations intersect

• Where distress is emerging first — and where it isn’t

• How to properly qualify distressed opportunities

• What the multifamily landscape may look like through 2026

• Who is best positioned to navigate — and capitalize on — the next phase of the cycle

Whether you’re a multifamily investor, owner, lender, or broker, this episode provides practical insight into navigating a market that is becoming increasingly selective, disciplined, and data-driven.
