We sit down with John “Dr. Doom” Drachman for a revealing look at how the multifamily market has evolved since the turbulence of 2022 and what passive investors can do now. John unpacks the factors that led to trouble (“overheated” markets, aggressive loan structures, and short-term flips), why true distress hasn’t fully materialized, and how today’s environment calls for more “boring,” long-term investing strategies. Tune in to learn why survival in 2022 doesn’t necessarily mean smooth sailing ahead, and discover the indicators John is watching to guide his next move in multifamily. Today’s Episode Takeaways: - The story behind the “Dr. Doom” nickname and John’s early warnings in 2022 - Why the feared “tidal wave” of multifamily distress never fully hit—and what might still be ahead - Key lessons for passive investors: avoiding speculative bridge debt, focusing on strong operators, and thinking long-term - How “local knowledge” and regulatory nuances can drastically alter returns—especially in red vs. blue states - Why John is bullish on “boring” approaches like workforce housing and fixed-rate debt in uncertain times Don’t forget to subscribe and leave a review so you never miss out on future episodes covering the latest passive investing strategies, market insights, and more!
