Interview Question - if you could borrow at 1% full recourse, how would you invest?

Interesting one....curious what you guys think..cheap enough to make most deals work...but could be a double-edged sword

I said ground-up Class A MF with my reasoning but curious what you guys would do

I'm sure this type of financing is also commonly available to HNW and FOs

Multifamily buildings in a core market with 100% project based section 8 coverage.  Just arbitrage the spread between my 1% and interest and the guaranteed 4% cash on cash I get from my government-backed rent roll.

Is given basically free cost of capital but with full recourse and you say ground up development....Kind of defeats the purpose of all the low cost capital you were given.

Really what you want to do is arbitrage it. Buy a huge fucking stabilized MF or multi tenant industrial portfolio. One that theoretically would have very little chance of cashflowing under 1% yield and take the vig.

Any asset class I would borrow $1 billion at 1% and buy UST's at 1.5%.

I'm sure this type of financing is also commonly available to HNW and FOs

Why do you think this? UST's are yielding higher than 1% and are fully recourse to the US Goverment. Also the whole point of "investment grade" real estate is that debt is typically non-recourse (at worst partially recourse for shit like suburban office).
