Rental housing economist Jay Parsons provides an Election Day look at the rental housing platforms of Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, commentating on the potential impacts for rental housing investors and renters should either be elected. Later in the program, former Freddie Mac CEO David Brickman joins the show to preview his upcoming paper on the success story of multifamily — and looking at what other countries could learn from the U.S. model that has resulted in more housing availability for renters. David and Jay also talk about upcoming challenges facing the U.S. rental market, including the aging stock of tax credit and naturally occurring affordable housing, and what solutions might address that issue. David also opines on whether Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac should be allowed to provide construction financing to further spur new supply. Additionally, Jay breaks down headlines on California's Prop 33 and the potential impact of SROs (so-called "adult dorms.") And Jay also tees up a special Election Day edition of Rental Housing Trivia.======================0:00 - Introduction1:47 - Presidential candidates on housing11:31 - Rental housing trivia12:25 - In the news19:49 - Good question21:06 - Companies department23:59 - Rental housing trivia25:05 - David Brickman intro25:47 - Paper on the success story of multifamily31:08 - Historical analysis34:10 - Construction financing37:50 - Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac41:35 - Rental market concerns46:07 - Solutions50:45 - Outro
