    #107: NMHC 2026 Debrief: Who’s Lending, Who’s Buying & Why Distress Isn’t Here

    At NMHC 2026, the surprise wasn’t distress — it was the surge of debt capital flowing back into multifamily. Instead of forced sales, abundant liquidity is recapitalizing assets and keeping deal flow thin. In this episode, we break down what’s really happening in the market and how we’re positioning for 2026. You’ll learn: • Who’s lending — and on what terms • Why distress hasn’t materialized • Where real risk may surface • Why deal flow remains tight • How renter dynamics are shifting • How we’re structuring acquisitions and debt moving forward If you’re an operator or investor looking for clarity in today’s multifamily market, this episode is for you. 📩 Want to invest with us?

    Is it ‘Go Time’ for Multifamily? 3 Signals Why 2026 Looks Investable

    Is 2026 the year multifamily real estate finally breaks wide open? While mainstream headlines preach caution, the smart money is already moving.

What you’ll learn: ✔ The Sentiment Shift: Why investor surveys and capital availability suggest it’s officially "Go Time" for Q1 and Q2. ✔ The "Extend & Pretend" Reality: Why the predicted wave of foreclosures hasn't hit and how to find distressed deals that actually pencil. ✔ Market Selection Secrets: Why we are targeting secondary and tertiary markets with "space and defense" driven economies. ✔ The 2026 Underwriting Blueprint: Why we’re sticking to fixed-rate debt and "Day 1" cash flow to navigate a softening job market. ✔ The 28-Day Transformation: Our aggressive 90-day NOI lift path to capture post-renovation market rents. 📩 Want to invest with us?

  5. How to Turn Company Values Into Behaviors That Drive Results

    How to Turn Company Values Into Behaviors That Drive Results

    Company values don’t fail — execution does. As teams scale, values often turn into vague slogans while day-to-day behaviors drift. The result? Missed handoffs, slow response times, and an inconsistent investor and resident experience. In this episode, John Makarewicz breaks down a practical, proven system for turning company values into clear, observable behaviors that actually drive results. Inspired by Culture by Design, this is the exact playbook Ferris Capital Partners uses to operationalize culture and scale execution—without adding complexity. This is how you move values off the wall and into the calendar. You'll learn: ✔ Why values alone don’t change outcomes—and what does ✔ The difference between values (the why) and fundamentals (the how) ✔ How to define observable, coachable behaviors any team can follow ✔ Real examples of fundamentals used across operations, asset management, and investor relations ✔ How to roll out fundamentals in 90 days and reinforce them through meetings, hiring, and reviews ✔ The common culture mistakes growing companies make—and how to avoid them If you’re a multifamily operator, business owner, or investor-led organization looking to scale without losing alignment, this episode gives you a simple, repeatable system to turn culture into a competitive advantage. 📩 Want to invest with us?

    How to Set Goals That Actually Get Results– GPS Goal Setting

    Most business plans don’t fail because they’re bad ideas — they fail because execution breaks down. Teams chase too many priorities, no one owns outcomes, and weekly work drifts away from the real goal. In this episode, John Makarewicz breaks down the GPS Framework (Goals, Priorities, Strategies) — a simple, one-page system high-performing teams use to turn plans into execution. He explains how to set one clear goal, define the few priorities that actually matter, and build measurable strategies with ownership and weekly rhythms that drive results. What You’ll Learn: ✔ Why most business plans die in slide decks ✔ How to set one clear, measurable annual goal ✔ How to identify the 3 priorities that actually move the needle ✔ How to build SMART strategies with clear ownership ✔ Why fewer goals lead to better execution ✔ How weekly rhythms and scorecards keep teams aligned Whether you’re leading a real estate firm, operating a growing business, or managing multiple teams, this framework will help you execute with focus and discipline. 📩 Want to learn more about how we operate at Faris Capital Partners?
