2025/08/31

On this episode of The Horizon, John discusses two big themes: a looming seniors housing supply gap and why multifamily still looks durable.

2025/08/24

On this episode of The Horizon, John discusses the July retail sales print—strong nominally but essentially flat after inflation—and why consumer capacity to spend (healthier debt-to-income ratios and rising savings) is at odds with willingness to spend as sentiment softens.

On this episode of Beyond Multifamily, Amanda Cruise and Ash Patel interview Ira Zlotowitz. Ira explains GPARENCY’s fixed-fee “mortgage assurance” model—$4,500 to shop your deal, create real competition among lenders, and hand you the best term sheet without taking a closing commission. He contrasts this with traditional brokers (exclusives, success fees, misaligned incentives), and shows how owners can use lender data (via GPARENCY’s G‑Placer) to find active banks for niche assets and markets.
