Commercial real estate investment professionals must make informed decisions, yet we’re often inundated with meaningless and contradictory information that masquerades as “data.” This program, taught by real estate economist and data expert Jeff Adler, vice president of Yardi Matrix, will equip you with the tools to develop an integrated real estate investment perspective that enables action—and more important, yields better results.

New and experienced real estate investors will learn to use technology (including a cutting-edge AI tool), proprietary data and a proven framework to develop a cohesive strategy, enhance decision-making and optimize investment outcomes. Participants will explore real deals closed in the tricky contemporary financing environment and be challenged to apply AI-powered insights to their own projects.

  • Inflation: The sources of inflation (money supply growth, U.S. federal government deficits, the disruption of transportation, goods, labor, food, and energy markets), the resulting Federal Reserve interest rate response, and the interaction of short- and long-term interest rates in eventual inflation control. And the interaction with real estate income and valuation.
  • Policy: The Trump administration’s policy mix, along with remaining impacts of the CHIPS Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, re-industrialization, and domestic growth markets. We’ll examine the trajectory of the administration’s policies and assess their impact in fostering re-industrialization in previously overlooked markets. 
  • Housing Affordability: The varied public policy responses to housing affordability concerns, from those embracing market-driven development to enabling rent control and the impact on local markets, including the effect of the New York City mayoral race on the market.
