Episode #183: Peter Linneman – Interest Rates, the Economy and Multifamily

Today we are joined, once again, by esteemed guest and friend of the show, Peter Linneman, to discuss his take on interest rates, the economy, and multifamily. In addition to being the Founding Principal of Linneman Associates, Peter is also a former Wharton professor, distinguished author, and co-creator of the highly regarded Real Estate Finance and Investment Certification Course by REFAI.

In today’s conversation, we take a look back at his predictions and see how they played out, before discussing the current state of the economy, interest rates, multifamily real estate, and his predictions for 2024 and beyond. Tune in to hear Peter’s eye-opening insights on The Federal Reserve’s biggest weaknesses, the data supporting an ongoing demand for multifamily real estate, why he doesn’t expect a recession any time soon, and much more!
