This is going to change so wildly per person that it will be very difficult to say. I'm pretty sure I've called multifamily boring before on this site, as a multifamily guy myself, but I wouldn't confuse general employee (me) bitching with an entire product type's excitement level. There are ways to make any product type interesting. Much of my frustration stems from my personal inability to create certain items of interest in my current projects due to company dynamics. That's not "multifamily's" fault.
I wouldn't be so sure. I was taking a smoke break the other day and overheard that the entire asset class was out to make sure CRE 's life was absolutely miserable.
It's always personal.
I fucking knew it!
I know a lot of people who would say that hotels are the most exciting/interesting asset type, though most of these people work in hotel RE. It's certainly one of the riskiest asset types, since the guests are essentially on nightly leases and hotels are so operationally intensive. Hotels will also take a massive hit if the economy falters, since they are so dependent on peoples' disposable income.
I personally find the retail space to be super intriguing right now. Malls have obviously taken a huge hit from E-commerce, and you're seeing this rise in creative, experience-based retail in response.
Hotels.
Multifamily, you’re seeing coliving, microunits, and hoteliers straddling multi and hotel (Guild, WhyHotel, Sounder, etc) now coming into play. Affordability will only continue to be an issue, and legislation around creation of affordable housing will have to change if major markets are going to adopt. AirBnB has given many apartment renters the opportunity to profit from taking a vacation. The amenity race continues to push developers to innovate while Smarthome technology and modular construction are becoming more relevant by the day. I find it exciting because it’s a product type that I’m longest on going forward, but also one that will experience tremendous change as well.
