When interest rates rise fast and inflation doesn’t cool off… Most people just hope it ends soon. But savvy investors? They prepare for stagflation. That’s why I sat down with Jake Clopton of Clopton Capital, who’s been in the trenches since the 2008 financial crisis, to talk through what stagflation could mean for multifamily assets. Jake isn’t just making predictions—he’s a lender, insurance agency owner, and 1031 intermediary with direct access to the trends most operators aren’t paying attention to. And in this episode, he drops truth bombs you won’t hear anywhere else… In this conversation, we cover: Why the Fed cutting rates could actually raise mortgage rates How today’s cap rate projections are ignoring key bond market signals Why insurance premiums are exploding (even in low-risk markets) The hidden risk in relying on outdated lending strategies And the reason Jake believes the next 12 months will divide winners and losers If you’re holding multifamily—or plan to—this episode is required listening.
