According to Mark, nearly 60% of apartment sales during the first half of 2026 involved properties built before 1990\u2014evidence that workforce housing has moved to the center of the market.   \u201cI look at this as really the resolution phase of the market, so we\u2019re starting to resolve a lot of this distress,\u201d Mark explains. High-net-worth investors now represent many of the buyers pursuing these opportunistic acquisitions, replacing some of the traditional syndication groups that previously dominated bid sheets. For sellers, Mark says the most important consideration is no longer necessarily the highest offer: \u201cSurety of close is key in today\u2019s market. Not price\u2014surety of close.\u201d   Mark also describes two extraordinary transactions in which sellers are willing to pay buyers to assume loans and avoid agency foreclosures\u2014something he has never witnessed during his career. Although today\u2019s market remains challenging, he believes some properties are trading at values that could eventually produce exceptional returns as demand and rent growth recover. \u201cAt some point, they\u2019re going to look great,\u201d Mark says, predicting that certain properties could eventually trade for twice their current purchase prices.  \u201cIf you felt like you missed the opportunity 10 years ago, we\u2019re back\u2014same pricing, same opportunity.\u201d   His advice to sellers is to carefully investigate each buyer\u2019s transaction history and personally contact their references. His advice to buyers is equally direct: \u201cLocation is key,\u201d and investors entering difficult submarkets should have sufficient capital to withstand a potentially extended recovery. In today\u2019s market, Mark believes being overcapitalized is far wiser than being undercapitalized.   Paul also shares how the Old Capital Accelerator provides hands-on education, property tours, and practical experience for investors who want to grow into multifamily ownership.   Learn alongside experienced apartment owners, brokers, property managers, attorneys, and other industry professionals as we walk through the entire acquisition process\u2014from finding and underwriting deals to financing, due diligence, raising equity, and submitting an offer.
