The Multifamily Tide is Turning — And Demand Is Leading the Way
Investing

The Multifamily Tide is Turning — And Demand Is Leading the Way

Over the past three years, investors have watched an unprecedented wave of multifamily development reshape the Sun Belt. The resulting surge in new supply has understandably raised concerns about rent growth, occupancy, and near-term returns. But there’s an important shift underway: the development cycle has already turned, and new construction is declining meaningfully from its peak. The more important story now isn’t what the market absorbed over the last few years. It’s what the data shows about where it’s headed next. And for investors, today’s market dislocation can create tomorrow’s upside. Renter Demand Has Proven Remarkably Resilient For the better part of the last three to four years, the U.S. multifamily market worked through one of the most significant supply cycles in modern history — nearly 600,000 units completed in 2024 alone. Despite the supply headwinds, renters kept showing up. And they still are. Nationwide, net absorption topped 250,000 units in the first half of 2026 alone — outpacing new supply by roughly 100,000 units (RealPage Market Analytics).

HALO: Why Hard Assets Win in the Age of AI

HALO: Why Hard Assets Win in the Age of AI

The artificial intelligence revolution has triggered a fundamental rethinking of what makes a business durable. As AI rewrites the rules of business overnight, investors are asking one simple question: What can’t be disrupted? NexMetro’s answer is HALO — Hard Assets, Low Obsolescence. At its core, HALO is becoming a broadly discussed investment framework that focuses on companies anchored by physical, tangible infrastructure rather than pure software or digital business models. The focus is on businesses that provide something the world will always need, regardless of what technology does next. The Core Premise Popularized by the rise of artificial intelligence, HALO refers to businesses that are difficult for software or AI to disrupt because they are essential. Unlike software, physical infrastructure cannot be replicated overnight. The world needs homes built, water moved, and power delivered, regardless of what happens in the digital landscape.

Investor Quarterly Update Q2-2026

Dear NexMetro Investors: As we move through the second half of 2026, we want to share an important update on where we stand, what we are navigating, and how we are positioning your investments for the expected realization of long-term value. MARKET ENVIRONMENT The first half of 2026 has been challenging. Rental growth remained lackluster; geopolitical uncertainty stemming from ongoing global conflicts weighed on capital markets broadly; and the legislative environment created additional headwinds amid prolonged uncertainty surrounding the ROAD to Housing Bill. We are pleased that the bill has now been resolved in a manner that validates and benefits purpose-built rental neighborhood platforms like ours. (Details below). This is a meaningful structural tailwind for our strategy.

The Partnership Advantage
Investing

The Partnership Advantage

Successful real estate investing is built on more than great locations and disciplined capital allocation. It’s built on trusted relationships. At NexMetro, our long-term partnerships with proven business partners are a competitive advantage. By working repeatedly with experienced architects, engineers, contractors, lenders, consultants, property managers, and strategic capital partners who understand our platform and share our commitment to excellence, we create greater consistency, efficiency, and accountability throughout every stage of development. These established relationships reduce execution risk, improve communication, streamline decision making, and help us deliver our cottage-style build-to-rent communities with greater predictability. As partners become increasingly familiar with our standards, processes, and expectations, they are better equipped to anticipate challenges, identify opportunities, and consistently execute at a high level.

Renting by Choice: The Rise of Baby Boomer Renters

Renting by Choice: The Rise of Baby Boomer Renters

While Millennials and Gen Z continue to drive household formation, an increasingly important and often overlooked trend is the growing number of older Americans choosing to rent. Homeownership has long been a hallmark of the American Dream – especially for many Baby Boomers, who have spent decades in the same home. But shifting priorities, lifestyle needs, and the realities of aging are driving a growing number of Boomers to trade their mortgages for the flexibility and modern amenities of rental communities. Today, about one in five Baby Boomer households rent their homes, and the number of renters age 65 and older has increased significantly over the past decade. This shift is not being driven solely by affordability challenges – it is increasingly a lifestyle choice.

Federal Housing Legislation Serves as a Catalyst for NexMetro’s Continued Expansion

We are pleased to share that the Road to Housing Act has passed both chambers of Congress and now awaits the President’s signature. The final bill expressly excludes Build-to-Rent (BTR) communities from restrictions on purchases by institutional investors, eliminating any uncertainty regarding the sector’s treatment under the legislation. This outcome confirms what we have long known: that NexMetro’s purpose-built, cottage-style BTR communities are an innovative housing solution that expands housing choice without reducing for-sale inventory for American homebuyers.

Buffet to BTR: The Power of Productive Ownership
Investing

Buffet to BTR: The Power of Productive Ownership

The quote above was made by Buffett in April 2022 to explain why he prefers to invest in income generating assets. The timing of the statement is meaningful. April 2022, as hindsight now tells us, was the peak of valuation for apartments. Does one of the greatest living investors have bad timing? I would argue he doesn’t rely on timing; he relies on time. Cash, for all its perceived safety, quietly loses value. Productive assets, by contrast, can adapt, grow, and compound over time. With Buffett’s recent step down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, closing out a remarkable 60-year run, it’s an appropriate moment to reflect on the durability of that thinking. Even at 95, his perspective continues to shape how many investors approach long-term wealth creation. And for those of us who have followed his career, the learning hasn’t stopped. At its core, Buffett’s philosophy is straightforward: Own businesses that produce goods and services people need – and hold them for the long term. Those businesses generate income, adjust pricing power over time, and ultimately provide a hedge against inflation. “Pieces of paper” like cash, or even passive holdings without underlying productivity, simply cannot do the same.

Investor Quarterly Update Q1-2026

Dear NexMetro Investors: The U.S. rental housing market is reaching a turning point. The largest construction wave in decades is winding down, demand is outpacing new supply for the first time since 2021, and capital markets are stabilizing. For NexMetro investors, the setup ahead is the strongest we have seen since the cycle began. Finally. As a recap of previous investor messages, the rental housing downturn is a convergence of rising interest rates and historic oversupply, resulting in negative rent growth and a 20–30% valuation reset from the 2022 peak.

Through our pioneering work in the build-to-rent sector, we have helped shape a new housing category that expands supply, enhances flexibility, and provides a more attainable, more appealing alternative to traditional homeownership or conventional multifamily living.

Real Estate: A Tax-Efficient Growth Opportunity for Clients
Investing

Real Estate: A Tax-Efficient Growth Opportunity for Clients

Real estate has long been recognized as one of the most tax-efficient asset classes, particularly when compared to traditional passive investments such as equities, fixed income, or private growth strategies. This advantage is not incidental. It is embedded directly in the U.S. tax code, providing clients with opportunities to enhance after-tax returns. Unlike stocks or bonds, real estate can generate income while simultaneously reducing taxable income through depreciation, a non-cash expense that can meaningfully offset cash flow. In many cases, investors receive distributions that are partially or fully sheltered from current taxation, improving after-tax yield relative to other income-producing investments.

America has a housing affordability crisis. Building houses for rent can help

About 7% of new single-family houses hitting the market are now for rent, not sale. More than 10 times as many "build-to-rent" homes were completed in the U.S. in 2024 as compared with a decade earlier. Many of these are being constructed by firms that specialize in build-to-rent housing, like NexMetro, which develops and owns single-family rental homes in the Sun Belt, a hot market for these properties. That's where populations are growing and there's plenty of land.

Expanding Housing Choice Without Competing with Homeownership

On January 20, President Trump signed an executive order outlining a new federal policy to limit institutional ownership of single-family homes that individual households could otherwise purchase. The broader conversation has put a spotlight on housing inventory and affordability, while singling out build-to-rent (BTR) as part of the solution, not the problem. By exempting BTR, the executive order underscores NexMetro’s mission-driven approach of expanding housing choice through purpose-built rental communities serving the missing middle between traditional apartments and homeownership.

Dear NexMetro Investors: As someone who spends each day studying data across markets, I try not to get caught up in headlines and instead look at the underlying signals.

We’re witnessing a rare opportunity in market history. The S&P 500’s Shiller CAPE1 ratio is near 39–40. That’s second only to the dot-com peak and well above the historical average of 16, signaling muted or negative real returns. By contrast, multifamily investment offers entry points we haven’t seen in over a decade, with all signals flashing green.

Fed Rate Cuts Ease Path for Growth-Focused Projects
Investing

Fed Rate Cuts Ease Path for Growth-Focused Projects

Fed Rate Cuts Ease Path for Growth-Focused Projects The Federal Reserve cut interest rates last week by a quarter percentage point to a 4% – 4.25% range with indications of two more cuts this year. This opens the path to a more favorable financing environment for real estate with the lowest rate in nearly three years. This action eases borrowing conditions that have a direct impact on project performance. Short term interest rates influence almost every line in a financial model—from loan costs to exit pricing. This is particularly true for construction and bridge loans which are typically floating loans indexed to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). SOFR is highly correlated to the Fed rate and moves in near lock step with changes in the Fed rate. Simply put, when rates decrease, financing becomes cheaper and more available, and property values can increase improving returns.

Demographic Shifts Drive Rental Demand for BTR

You may have heard it said that demographics are destiny in real estate. This may sound a little dramatic, but it points to the fact that people’s composition, behaviors, and trends have a powerful and lasting influence on the demand, value, and viability of real estate. Without a doubt, demographic shifts in America are reshaping the housing landscape. Structural shifts — delayed homeownership, aging millennials, rising single-person households, and migration to Sunbelt metros — create sustained demand for high-quality rental housing. And investors are taking note, as build-to-rent (BTR) communities continue to emerge as a preferred housing solution that offers compelling risk-adjusted returns backed by durable occupancy and income growth trends.

One of the benefits of being the CEO of the largest private Build-to-Rent (BTR) developer in the United States is that I get invited to some pretty interesting meetings. Earlier this week, I was invited to an event hosted by Ron Terwilliger and Preston Butcher, two legends in real estate. Real estate economists each gave their view of the economy, and the first one started his presentation by saying, “I hope you weren’t expecting me to tell you how this is all going to work out…” I appreciated his honesty. Of course, no one knows exactly when or how the current tariff turbulence will work itself out, but it appears that it may be waning already. And when it does end, the multifamily real estate market should pick up where it left off at the end of the first quarter — on the rise.

Building Resilience: How Our Proactive Supply Chain Strategy Drives Sustainable Growth and Mitigates Risk

As a leading residential developer, NexMetro understands that a resilient supply chain is essential to delivering our luxury leased home Avilla projects efficiently, on schedule, and within budget. The real estate industry – and quite frankly all industries – experienced just how vital supply chain management truly is during the COVID pandemic that caused material shortages, shipment delays and labor constraints. As signals of new potential market disruptions began to surface in early 2024, we proactively initiated a comprehensive review and restructuring of our supply chain strategy. Integral to our strategy is sharing NexMetro’s robust pipeline with suppliers and business partners to secure long-term pricing, rebates and a shared vision of our future growth. This forward-thinking approach has positioned NexMetro ahead of recent industry-wide concerns related to tariffs, enhancing our operational stability, growth potential, and ultimately sustaining consistent returns for our investors.

Since 2018, the S&P 500 has returned an approximate average annual return of 11.9%, assuming all dividends were reinvested. NexMetro, by comparison, has achieved an average gross return of 23.5% during the same period, resulting in an average net return to investors of 21.2%. In short, NexMetro investments have meaningfully outperformed large-cap securities even through a distressed real estate market in the last 24 months.
