First Draft Live: Episode 13 - Debt Meets The Housing Crunch
National | Air Date: September 12 | 12:30 PM EDT
WELCOME TO FIRST DRAFT LIVE
THIS WEEK...
Billions of multifamily loans are maturing just as borrowing costs remain stubbornly high and lenders grow more selective.
At the same time, Washington is reshaping the backdrop: the looming privatization debate over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is casting uncertainty on GSE support, while sweeping reforms under the One Big Beautiful Bill are breathing new life into the LIHTC program.
Together, these shifts will determine how capital flows into a sector at the center of America’s housing shortage.
Sharon Karaffa, President of Multifamily Debt & Structured Finance at Newmark, joins First Draft Live to break down the challenges, opportunities and what 2025 means for multifamily investors and the country’s rental housing supply.
