We’re hearing a lot in the media about impending doom in the commercial real estate market. Should we be bracing ourselves for a repeat of 2008 and 2009? You might have seen Paul Moore’s recent BiggerPockets article titled "What’s Really Behind the Slew of Recent Commercial Failures", in which he urges us not to overgeneralize the term ‘commercial real estate’, and instead recognize that there are many asset classes in many locations, and many of them will be just fine. I’ve invited Paul back to the show to share his perspective on whether we should be bracing ourselves for a commercial real estate crash, and what he’s hearing from his network on where the distress really exists. Paul is the founder and managing partner of Wellings Capital, and a best-selling author on multifamily and self-storage.
