Is multifamily finally back after the market crash?
Today on the show, I have the pleasure of welcoming back a true mad scientist of multifamily, Neal Bawa. Neal is a technologist, data guru, process freak, outsourcing expert, and one of the most in-demand speakers in commercial real estate right now. He is widely known for his uncanny ability to spot trends before anyone else.
In this episode, Neal breaks down the state of the syndication industry after the deep market corrections of the last few years, why 2025 marked the bottom of the multifamily market, and what to expect in 2026 as supply tightens and rents start to grow again. We also explore the crazy world of data center land banking, AI-driven investing, and how Neal is finding massive opportunities in this new era of investing.
