Taylor welcomes Neal Bawa back to dive into the state of the economy, inflation, interest rates, and how the banking crisis is affecting real estate now and in the future. Neal believes that the banking crisis will have extraordinary repercussions for the world and that it has acted as a catalyst for everyone to shine a floodlight on what else in the economy could go wrong. However, he notes that multifamily has the lowest exposure to mid-size banks of all real estate asset classes, making it less vulnerable to this crisis. One key takeaway from this conversation is that data insights are vital to figuring out what's next in hacking real estate.
