Episode 292. The Best Buying Opportunity Since 2009
Episode 292
Monday, 9 March, 2026

Is today the best buying opportunity since the Great Financial Crisis? After more than a decade of rising prices and easy money, the multifamily market has shifted. Prices are down, capital is tight, and lending has become more conservative. For many investors, that uncertainty has pushed them to the sidelines. But for disciplined operators, this is exactly when real opportunities appear. In this episode, Nico breaks down why the current multifamily cycle may present the best buying window since 2009. He explains how the rapid rise in interest rates reshaped the market, why deals must cash flow under today's conditions, and the two major obstacles investors face right now: raising capital and securing debt. If you can solve those two problems and stay patient, the next five years could be extremely rewarding. This episode also dives into the mindset required to invest during a downturn and why many of the best investors build their portfolios during difficult market cycles.
