About this episode

Cory and Matt discuss multifamily investing with expert Marianne DeCotiis, exploring its unique characteristics and stable returns.

Disclaimer: This podcast was originally recorded and aired February 2022 Ever wonder which commercial asset class has the lowest cap rate but offers the most stable returns? This week, Cory and Matt welcome Marianne DeCotiis, a multifamily specialist with William Wright Commercial’s Fraser Valley office. Tune in as Marianne breaks down the multifamily asset class, sharing how it’s funded, how the leases are government regulated, and plenty more! Marianne also walks through why demand for this asset class has been so consistent and how cap rates have hit historical lows, yet demand continues to grow. Multifamily operates a lot differently than most commercial asset classes and Marianne unpacks why that is.
