Some folks want a seat at the table and real control, while others prefer to be passive.. letting the sponsor do the heavy lifting.From what I read in The Economist, some markets (like Phoenix) are experiencing fresh pockets of growth in multifamily, so it’s definitely worth exploring if you’re eyeing future expansion.
