    Ep. 38 - SOFR, Supply, and Distress: What Multifamily Investors Need to Know Going into 2026

    As 2025 comes to a close, multifamily investors are facing a market defined by shifting interest rates, slowing construction, and emerging distress—especially across the Sun Belt. In this episode of Kiss My Assets, Kyle Macdonald and Neighborhood Ventures CEO Jason Manwaring break down what's happening beneath the surface of the Phoenix multifamily market. They discuss SOFR versus the 10-year Treasury, why rate cuts haven't translated to lower long-term borrowing costs, and how government debt is influencing the bond market. The conversation also examines two notable Phoenix deals—a high-profile office-to-multifamily conversion at Central and Camelback and a $100M ground-up development breaking ground despite a sharp drop in permits. Finally, they explore why short-term softness in Sun Belt markets may be creating long-term opportunity for disciplined investors heading into 2026.

    Ep. 37 - Historic Absorption, Rent Growth Signals, and Deep Discounts: What 2026 Means for Multifamily Investors

    In this episode of the Kiss My Assets Podcast, Kyle Macdonald and Neighborhood Ventures CEO Jamison Manwaring break down one of the most surprising storylines in U.S. real estate: the historic 2025 multifamily absorption boom that stunned analysts nationwide. We unpack why over 725,000 units were absorbed in just two quarters—surpassing all of 2024—and what's driving renters away from homeownership and into newly built apartments across the country. Jamison also dives into how Phoenix compares to challenged markets like Austin, why institutional forecasters missed the mark, and why long-term investors should care about the "lock-in effect" reshaping housing supply. The episode then shifts to projected rent growth in 2026, why many operators are preparing for a rebound, and what savvy investors should watch for as the national supply pipeline normalizes. Finally, Kyle and Jamison discuss one of Arizona's most eye-opening recent transactions: Next Wave Investors acquiring The Avi in Tempe for $40M—a 40% discount from its 2022 peak price. They break down how distressed deals are emerging, why 2022 buyers are struggling, and how Neighborhood Ventures is navigating this moment with disciplined acquisitions. A data-backed, candid conversation for anyone tracking the future of multifamily investing.

    Ep. 35 - Jamison Manwaring on Today's Phoenix Multifamily Opportunity with AZREIA

    Jamison Manwaring joins The AzREIA Show for a special crossover episode to talk all things Arizona multifamily, crowdfunding, and why he's more excited about deals today than he was at the peak of the market. In this conversation, Jamison walks through: How Neighborhood Ventures structures dual offerings (Reg D for accredited investors + Arizona intrastate crowdfunding for non-accredited locals) The nuts and bolts of Arizona's intrastate crowdfunding law and how everyday Arizona investors can start with as little as $5,000 Why he believes now—in the "stress, not distress" phase of the cycle—is a rare window to buy Phoenix multifamily at 40% discounts from 2022 pricing Real examples of taking over underperforming properties, working with lenders on forced sales, and creating value through operations-first ownership The evolution from small $5K checks to high-net-worth and fund-to-fund capital, and what new investors should know before writing their first check If you're an Arizona investor wondering where the opportunities are in today's choppy market—or you've heard about crowdfunding but never really understood how it works—this episode is a masterclass in buying right, structuring right, and investing close to home.

    Ep. 33 - Phoenix CRE by the Numbers with Connor Devereux of CoStar Group

    Tune in as Jamison Manwaring sits down with Connor Devereux of CoStar (the data engine behind Apartments.com, LoopNet, and Homes.com) to break down what the numbers are really saying about Phoenix commercial real estate. We cover the supply wave in multifamily and why demand can be "strong" while rents are negative, industrial's barbell dynamic and West Valley momentum, retail's quiet outperformance after a decade of under-building, and how office is finding a floor with selective strength in prime assets. Connor explains how CoStar's research team aggregates occupancy, rents, construction pipelines, and cap rates—and how operators can use that transparency to make better decisions. Arizona roots, submarket nuance, and a clear view of what could turn in 2026–2028 all included.
