Hold off buying due to possible recession/very low cap rates?

Professional · Member since 2015 · 14 posts · 8 votes

I syndicate multi family properties. Newer in the game. Some of my investors are hesitant because they think we are on the brink of a recession, which I don't disagree with. In fact, I've noticed many folks have been selling off their portfolios due to the insane prices.

If we are going into a recession, does that make it an unadvisable time to start acquiring apartment buildings? Especially with prices being so high and cap rates low.

Should I wait until prices start creeping down or dive in and just expect lower cap rates like we are seeing these day?

Thanks.

    I am new to multi family, but I have been investing for a while. There is two things that I rely on when investing

    1. Trust your instincts you can feel when something is wrong do not force a deal

    2. Numbers/data do not lie again do not force a deal

    With that said I'm always looking for a deal no matter what people saying about the market.
