What’s Next for Multifamily? Mark Shuler on Market Cycles, Recovery Signs, Global Economic Uncertainty
In this power-packed episode, Matty A. sits down with Mark Shuler, founder of Shuler Architecture and SGRE Investments, to break down the current state and future of the multifamily real estate market. With a portfolio of 4,000+ units and 30+ years of experience in architecture and development, Mark offers a unique, data-driven lens on navigating different political climates, underwriting conservatively, mastering operations, and identifying value-add opportunities during uncertain times.
He dives deep into why he left over-regulated markets like Seattle for the pro-development environment of Houston, how he reduces renovation costs dramatically, and what macroeconomic signals he's watching—including bond yields and the looming threat of a black swan event.
Whether you're a passive or active investor, this episode is filled with hard-earned wisdom, actionable strategies, and market foresight you won't want to miss.
