Summary

The multifamily and commercial real estate crash seems to be nearing its end, which means some incredible buying opportunities are on the way. Big apartment owners have been decimated after their occupancy rates dropped, interest rates shot up, and loans got called due. But when prices fall and the masses turn away from an asset, it’s usually time to buy, and 2025 could be one of those times for commercial real estate. But YOU don’t have to be the one to go out and find the deal yourself, do all the renovations, and deal with tenants—you can invest all while someone else does it for you. That’s exactly what today’s guests, Jim Pfeifer and Paul Shannon from the PassivePockets podcast, are on to talk about. They see coming opportunities to invest in multifamily real estate deals passively and will teach you exactly how to do it. Both Jim and Paul previously owned rental properties but moved over to real estate syndications, a passive real estate investment, as they grew. Now, they can have someone else do all the work for them while they reap the benefits. The best part? 2025 is looking like an opportune time to get in on investments like these, as many of the inexperienced syndicators have fled the market. Still, the veterans remain, ready to buy underpriced assets and pass the profits on to you! In This Episode We Cover: Why the historic commercial real estate crash could be close to over Real estate syndication investing 101 and how to invest without the stress of landlording Better, safer multifamily real estate deals that are coming to the market How to analyze a passive real estate investment AND the syndicator running it What to ask any syndicator before you invest in their deal (this is crucial) And So Much More!

0:00.0	Hey everyone, welcome to the Bigger Pockets podcast. I'm Dave Meyer. There has been, and I do not use
0:11.3	this word lightly, but there has been a legitimate crash in commercial real estate over the last
0:16.6	couple of years. We all know that office space is tanking, but this is happening in other asset
0:22.6	classes too, like multifamily. It's lost a lot of value since the pandemic, and it's generally
0:28.3	just been pretty hard out there. But real estate usually moves in cycles. Things go down,
0:34.2	they hit a bottom, and then they start to go back up again. And personally, I think we might see a really unique and pretty exciting buying opportunity in the coming years for multifamily and commercial real estate as a whole.
0:48.1	So today on the show, we're talking about how to potentially spot the bottom of the market so you're getting maximum value and how to take
0:54.9	advantage of these opportunities, even if you're not in a position to go buy a massive apartment

1:05.3	and Paul Shannon who hosts the Passive Pocket's podcast and are both hugely experienced
1:10.5	commercial real estate investors.
1:12.8	And just to clarify, before we jump in, I'm going to use the term commercial real estate
1:17.0	and multifamily real estate interchangeably throughout this episode.
1:21.7	Commercial real estate does actually refer to all sorts of things like retail space, industrial,
1:26.4	but because the bigger pockets
1:28.5	community in general is mostly interested in multifamily when it comes to commercial i'm going to be
1:34.2	using both of those terms interchangeably just a heads up let's jump into the show jim paul
1:41.1	welcome to the bigger pockets podcast thank you both for being here. Thanks for having us.
1:45.4	Excited to be here, Dave. Yeah, let's get our little Bigger Pockets Podcast host crossover event underway.

2:01.0	co-hosts of the podcast. And, you know, I got my start in investing in 2008. So I was an
