In today's episode, Willy welcomes Richard Baker. Baker is currently the governor, CEO, and executive chairman of Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC), and is also the owner of National Realty and Development Corp (NRDC). In 2006, he acquired Lord & Taylor for $1.2 billion and served as its Chairman. He purchased Hudson’s Bay in 2006 and took the company public in 2012, getting it listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The show starts with Richard emphasizing that “We’re all born with what we’re born with,” pointing out his innate ability to see things differently from a young age and his drive to go a different route. He believes that we need to maximize our strengths to build our self-confidence. Having studied hospitality at Cornell University, he thinks hospitality applies to all fields. As a natural people-pleaser, he aimed to change how real estate developers do business by focusing on customer service. Although his plans to acquire Toys R’ Us fell through, he created NRDC. Being in the game got him the Lord & Taylor acquisition. “If you’re always hanging out by the hoop and playing the game, then you’ll make your share of baskets,” he says. He states that “We’re not investors, we’re value creators,” using intellectual leverage as a tool. The financial crisis only led him to pivot and maneuver in the right direction. Richard spotted an opportunity in Canada to turn it into a credit landscape, buying Hudson’s Bay despite initial detractors. Richard believes that great companies have a great culture steeped into their DNA. The only way for large-scale businesses to function is to create a culture, nourish an existing one, or replace a bad one. Success means that everyone in the organization understands the big plan. With the popularity of online retail, Richard believes that brick-and-mortar stores will only go broke if they don’t play their cards right. He has always focused on delivering spectacular products, treating associates with respect, teaching them how to be promising entrepreneurs, and nourishing their partners. For the next two years, he foresees more consumers spending more money, especially on on-sale items. He aims to continue to find out how to manage his assets and marketing to acquire more market share.

In today's episode, Willy welcomes Kris Mikkelsen, Ivy Zelman, and Aaron Appel. Kris Mikkelsen is the Executive Vice President of Walker & Dunlop Investment Sales and is responsible for the origination and execution of investment sales and equity capital raise for multifamily assets focusing on the Southeastern markets. Ivy Zelman is the Executive Vice President of Walker & Dunlop Research and Securities. She is also the CEO of Zelman & Associates, a leading housing research and investment banking firm acquired by Walker & Dunlop in 2021. Aaron Appel is the Senior Managing Director of Capital Markets at Walker & Dunlop. He focuses on sourcing and structuring financing for all commercial real estate asset classes nationally. The episode starts with Ivy stating that the overall underwriting has significantly changed in terms of stringency and more conservative rent assumptions due to the uncertainty of capital cost. Kris explains that negative sentiment shows across the board because of the low supply index. A hawkish stance remains unless employment figures hike up. Core plus value-add multifamily assets have liquidity but cost more, according to Aaron. If borrowing costs increase substantially, less is needed to pay for the asset. Talking about his recent bridge loan, Aaron mentioned a good spread for the lender in loan value versus loan amount. Ivy adds that overall rent growth is holding up at levels of renewal basis; however, renewals will be stickier. Her forecast for rent growth is above 4.5% and moderation to 2%. The data is much more optimistic compared to new move-in rates. She also describes how more competition, such as in the supply from build-for-rent (BFR) operators or investors selling single-family rentals (SFR), is expected in 2023 and puts more pressure on decelerating rents. Affordability is also a factor for for-sale builders to turn to the rental market and sell units on a scattered basis.

In today's episode, Willy welcomes Dr. Peter Linneman. He is the principal of Linneman Associates, KL, Realty, and American Land Fund. He is cited as one of the 25 Most Influential People in Real Estate by Realtor Magazine and one of the 100 Most Powerful People in New York Real estate by the New York Observer. He is a highly sought-after speaker and author with his quarterly research, The Linneman Letter. Willy begins by citing a quote from The Linneman Letter, “​​The increases in interest rates to date will enhance economic growth, not cause a recession.” Dr. Linneman says, “of course.” He mentions that valuable things shouldn’t have zero price if the goal is maximizing resource efficiency. Interest rates going up to a certain point give a better signal of where money should flow. And that will enhance economic output. It is not where interest rates are; it’s the journey. He compares the journey to a Thanksgiving visit at Grandma’s, “It’s not perfect. There’s tension, but it’s generally pleasant.” Tune in to this new episode of the Walker Webcast — The Most Insightful Hour In CRE with Dr. Peter Linneman, Leading Economist, Professor Emeritus, The Wharton School of Business. ▶️ Key Points In The Webcast: 01:27 Willy revisits last year’s economic situation 04:58 Dr. Linneman’s insights on where it’s headed 11:48 Why markets are pessimistic 14:22 Misconceptions about the current GDP 17:49 Fear triggering a recession 19:47 Single-family housing and inflation 26:23 Multifamily cap rates 29:14 The future of capital and why sell multifamily 32:12 Avoiding shiny objects 37:31 Opportunities for lenders and why people are building 40:58 Returning to the office and the illusion of productivity 48:37 Earnings vs technology 46:32 Fuel prices and senior housing 56:05 Being optimistic about where we stand 59:55 Hiring in today’s world GET NOTIFIED about upcoming shows: » Subscribe to our YouTube channel here: / @walkerdunlop » See upcoming guests on the #WalkerWebcast here: https://www.walkerdunlop.com/webcasts/ Related webcasts: Tune in on Wednesdays for fresh perspectives about leadership, business, the economy, commercial real estate, and more! #WillyWalker hosts a diverse network of leaders as they share the wisdom that cuts across industry lines.

In today's episode, Willy Walker, Chairman, and CEO of Walker & Dunlop, gives the opening remarks at the Walker & Dunlop Summer Conference 2022 in Sun Valley, Idaho. The presentation starts with Willy thanking his team for successfully organizing this yearly event. He opens with a disclaimer, informing the audience that he will share opinions about politics. He compares the current state of the world to a "three-headed animal," with inflation rates, the war in Ukraine, and a massive political divide filling in news headlines. He says it is worth remembering that we are in a better place than we were two years ago. The US economy has improved, which Willy calls on for resolving supply chain issues and controlling rising rates. He states that cable television and the money behind it is what's driving the political divide. Les Moonves once said, "Trump may not be good for the United States, but he is good for CBS." He cites the significance of former governor Bill Haslam's insights on looking for solutions in governance: "Getting to the right answer is more important than our answer." With hordes of angry commentators and extreme supporters, Willy believes that more complex and nuanced solutions are what we truly need to solve issues. He retells his experience responding to a tweet about the Supreme Court's decision regarding the Brett Kavanaugh case, arguing that the ones who never contemplated their votes are the real problem, not the individuals who struggled with their decision made a hard call. He says that the middle is the place where we have to be to be able to "pull everyone together and start to find solutions." He fears that the divisiveness of US politics will only get worse.

In today’s episode, Willy welcomes Peter Linneman. He is the principal of Linneman Associates, KL, Realty, and American Land Fund. Having been a member of the Wharton School of Business’s faculty at the University of Pennsylvania for 32 years, he is the Albert Sussman Emeritus Professor of Real Estate, Finance, and Business Public Policy and is the co-founding editor of The Wharton Real Estate Review, publishing 80 articles. He is cited as one of the 25 Most Influential People in Real Estate by Realtor Magazine and one of the 100 Most Powerful People in New York Real estate by the New York Observer. He is a highly sought-after speaker and author, with his quarterly research, The Linneman Letter, the most respected publication in real estate for the past 11 years. The Walker Webcast begins with Peter emphasizing inflation is transitory with supply lagging demand due to 23% of the workforce collecting unemployment insurance. Also, industrial output is only 3% in Q1. Expanding output would be profitable, but most companies are not following through. Oil prices would normalize when production increases. The US remains the largest producer of oil in the world, and the situation of $260 a barrel is unlikely because supply is predicted to adjust. Besides, the US exports weapons and food, which Southeast Asian countries will highly favor due to tensions with China. Peter advises giving the supply 3-4 years of adjustment. The Federal Reserve System would not have control over long-term interest rates as $5 trillion in cash is set aside. He describes how debt should not be the main concern but “getting your money’s worth” and continues to say how federal debt is largely misunderstood. The higher the debt is, the bigger the political problems are because debt is owed by US citizens individually, not the state.

In today’s episode, Willy welcomes Lotfi Karoui. Lotfi joined Goldman Sachs in 2007 and was promoted to managing director in 2015. Currently, he is the Chief Credit Strategist and head of the Credit Research Group at Goldman Sachs, one of the world’s leading investment banking, securities, and management firms. His research covers a wide span of topics, including income markets, interest rate models, and macro-finance. His work is published in various academic journals, including the Journal of Financial Economics, Management Science, the Journal of Derivatives, and the Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control. To start, Willy asks Lotfi about Paul Tudor Jones’ opinion in a recent CNBC interview, in which he stated, “You don’t want to be in bonds or stocks right now. I can’t think of a worse macro-environment….” Lotfi points out the paradigm shift of the newfound ability for investors to park their cash, decreasing the urgency of putting money in bonds and stocks. The built-up risk premium also becomes a factor, citing widened corporate bond spreads as an example. Lotfi continues to explain that “anything that has a little bit of duration risk has probably its worst start ever,” encompassing investment-grade and treasury bonds. The terminal value of the fed funds rate is set to peak at 3%, which coincides with Goldman Sachs view of the ideal target to dip one’s toes into bonds. Lotfi noticed a significant trend in the past five economic declines: The slope of the yield curve has done a fantastic job at predicting future recessions. However, he enumerates two caveats – correlation is not entirely causation, and the current cycle has proven to be more nuanced since the onset of the Great Moderation in the early eighties. He also emphasizes the imbalance in the labor market, with the federal government slowing down the economy without pressuring businesses to lay off employees. He presents his definition of a soft landing in terms of the ongoing inflation and status of the employment market and rates – the slowing down of the economy below potential while avoiding recession that causes companies to overreact. He states that the odds of a recession happening over the next two years are 35%.

Power is in the hands of the ones with cash – that’s the general prediction of the corporate real estate market moving forward post-pandemic. With multi-family companies throwing money at more rental housing and inflation numbers at an all-time high, the future is uncertain as consumers struggle to afford a place to live. Research and Securities Executive VP Ivy Zelman, Investment and Sales Executive VP Kris Mikkelsen, Capital Markets Senior Managing Director Aaron Appel join Willy Walker on this week’s Walker Webcast as they dissect the current condition of the corporate real estate industry, why money is king, the probability of a soft landing versus a hard landing, and their thoughts on the best areas to invest in right now. Ivy Zelman sheds light on how rentals are unsustainable as more capital is flowing into the space, and a backlog of properties without leases exists. She also points out the disconnect between buyers’ willingness to pay and sellers’ expectations. Kris Mikkelsen lays out where he would put on his dollars – capital assets where rates can be reset and capital in markets with strong growth fundamentals and low risk. He emphasizes a lower leverage point and the ever-changing cost of homeownership in the past three months. Aaron Appel believes the future of CRE isn’t completely bleak, as time and time again, we’ve witnessed the market adjusting when there’s enough distress. But with the country’s escalating debt, inflation comes as a result of working to overcome it.

There’s never been a better time for women leaders than now. That’s what Mary Callahan Erdoes believes as the opportunity for remote and online work has provided the flexibility for family time and career growth. As the CEO of J.P. Morgan’s Asset and Wealth Management, she has brought one of the largest and most reliable investment banks to $4 trillion in client assets. Philanthropy is also close to her heart as she serves as a board member of New York City’s Robin Hood Foundation. Mary Callahan Erdoes joins Willy Walker on this week’s Walker Webcast as she gives her two cents on the unpredictability of the global market, her advice on investing in cryptocurrency, how more competition keeps the economy booming, and her close working ties with CEO Jamie Dimon. She emphasizes appreciating and recognizing both one’s milestones and empty tombstones – as any downturn is a chance to reevaluate methods and strategies. This optimistic outlook has set J.P. Morgan to be ready in handling any catastrophic situation. “Our job is to always prepare for the worst and hope for the best,” she adds. “If you do it the other way around, you’re going to get yourself in big trouble. That’s how we’re wired.” Diversity and inclusion have always been a priority for Mary Callahan Erdoes. J.P. Morgan’s efforts in investing in low-income housing and more poverty-stricken areas and opening doors to recruiting a wide slate of talent prove their stance on making a bigger difference in today’s work culture and society.

Leading Economist and former Wharton Professor Dr. Peter Linneman is optimistic about the U.S. economy, although not every moment. With a divided Congress, the war in Ukraine, rising interest rates, and skyrocketing oil prices amid an ongoing pandemic, Dr. Linneman shares his quarterly predictions and provides insights to help you understand what's to come. Dr. Linneman presents the most prescient analysis, and he cites that before things got so hard, nobody could have guessed in February 2020 that the GDP could still grow by 3.5%. He considers it staggering and the main point. Dr. Linneman mentions that a devastating variant of the virus can change anything, but the biggest wildcard he considers would stop the left to right upward kind of recovery is price controls. The leading economist adds that looking at the real factors matter. Over two years, real GDP, a crude measure of demand in the economy, has been up 3.5%. Industrial output, a crude measure of industrial goods capacity, is down 1% and employment, a crude measure of service sector supply down 1%, and demand's up 3.5%. Willy and Dr. Linneman cover how to bridge the gap as new government policies create an imbalance between the carbon economy and a green economy, pushing into renewables when there is still the demand for fossil fuels while exploration and refining companies are not investing anymore. Tune in to this new episode of the Walker Webcast — The Best Hour in CRE with Dr. Peter Linneman ▶️ Key Points In The Webcast: 00:00 Introduction 00:22 Willy welcomes Dr. Peter Linneman to the Walker Webcast. 03:20 Happy 55th birthday, Willy! He is optimistic about reaching his 110th, inspired by Dr. Peter Linneman's book The Great Age Reboot, coming out in September. 09:24 Linneman reports that real GDP is 3.5% higher than in February 2020, when the economy was going through the "trials of Job." 11:41 Linneman explains why a year from now, he is hopeful that interest rates will be about where they were in 2019. 17:07 Discover how to take cues from Deutsche Bank research and forecast growth in the next three years. 25:42 Linneman cites that the biggest risks to the recovery are not interest rates, it's not inflation - it's wage and price controls. 26:20 Real factors by the numbers. Over two years, real GDP has been up 3.5%. Industrial output is down 1%. And employment was down by 1%, and demand was up by 3.5%. 27:47 Willy asks Dr. Linneman to explain his point why he would never trade out 1% of GDP growth for 2% inflation. 31:02 Hear about the supply-demand imbalance with exploration companies and the call for renewable energy. 38:35 Why the baseball season and home games per city are going to have a big impact on revitalization. 45:37 See household affordability and projections. Dr. Peter Linneman is known for his unique blend of scholarly rigor and practical business insight that has earned him accolades from around the world. He has studied under multiple Nobel Prize winners, holds both a Master's and Doctorate in Economics after a distinguished academic career at both The University of Chicago and the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania, and was a leading member of Wharton's faculty, serving as the Albert Sussman Professor of Real Estate, Finance, and Public Policy for 35 years.

How do you get the sales you need in today's ever-evolving landscape? Dr. Frank Cespedes graces the Walker Webcast to drop the essential strategies and techniques that you need to maintain a thriving and game-changing enterprise. Frank's vast experience spans his work with many companies on go-to-market and strategy issues, and he has been a Board member at consumer goods, industrial products, and services firms. He teaches at Harvard Business School while serving as Managing Partner at a professional services firm for 12 years. He is the author of six books, including Aligning Strategy and Sales, which was cited as "the best sales book of the year" (Strategy & Business), "a must-read" (Gartner), and "perhaps the best sales book ever" (Forbes). His newest book is Sales Management That Works: How to Sell in a World That Never Stops Changing. Willy opens the discussion on how the book covers the lessons on how Jack Welch, considered the greatest leader of his era who took GE from a billion dollars to 10 billion a year of yearly profits, had a horse race to decide his successor. Today finding sales talent is still the hard part for companies. The conversation leads to why Frank emphasizes how CEOs should not only set the foundational conditions for business development in their company but never lose their connection with customers. "Once they become CEOs, the rest of the organization conspires to "protect" them against customers. As a result, they're often making decisions based on an obsolete vision of what's really going on out there. And that's been Frank’s experience that when companies fail in terms of tens and hundreds of billions in shareholder value, you just can't point to one person to take the blame. It's a variety of other factors."
