The Federal Reserve has officially shifted gears — cutting rates by 25 bps, ending quantitative tightening, and admitting it’s partially “data blind.”

In this episode of Commercial Real Estate Now, Karly Iacono breaks down what the Fed’s October pivot means for investors — and outlines five actionable strategies to navigate this new environment.

1️⃣ Re-engineer your financing before the market does it for you

2️⃣ Evaluate tenant “margin shock” risk

3️⃣ Build a liquidity cushion while everyone else relaxes

4️⃣ Re-price equity and partnerships before valuations catch up

5️⃣ Anticipate a behavioral slowdown — not a market collapse

🎯 This is a window where smart capital acts before consensus forms.
