J.P. Morgan just put $750B behind American housing through 2035. 1M affordable units. 500K homebuyers. A 40% jump over the prior decade. I broke down what it actually means, and where I think the money does real work. Kaufman & Company is proud to be part of this one. medium.com/@danielkaufm...
2019: we bought a century old brick factory in Jacksonville's Springfield district, plus the lot across the street. 2026: the building gets 3 new stories. The lot gets modular workforce housing with Oldivai. One block, two solutions. What anchors the ground floor?

Zillow just named Providence, RI the #1 hottest rental market in America for 2026. Not NYC. Not SF. Providence. +5% rent growth. 12.9% concession rate — lowest in the top 10. NYC inventory down 7% YoY. We’ve been building here for years. Full piece 👇 medium.com/@danielkaufm...
The Sun Belt was on every magazine cover in 2022. Now Austin is down, Fort Myers is at 5.3% concessions, and SF is posting 8.2% rent growth. The apartment market isn’t cooling — it’s splitting. Full May 2026 analysis: danielkaufmanreal.estate/2026/05/15/t...
KeyCrew Journal ran a piece this week on how we read markets at Kaufman & Company before the crowd catches up. Florida exit. Bentonville early. Burlington, VT. The data was always there. keycrew.co/journal/most... What’s the leading indicator you watch that your peers ignore?
San Francisco rents just hit a 20-year high. 7.7% YoY. SOMA up 19.2%. Mission Bay up 15.8%. Vacancy near decade lows. The “SF is dead” crowd was always trading narrative over fundamentals. Full breakdown: medium.com/@danielkaufm...
We exited Florida. Deliberately. But South Florida cities are now handing land to developers for free to build affordable housing — and the model is worth understanding. We’re watching. Here’s why you should be too. medium.com/@danielkaufm... #RealEstate #AffordableHousing #HousingPolicy
The Senate’s housing bill was supposed to create homes. It’s doing the opposite. A 7-year forced-sale provision has already frozen $3.4B in BTR investment and killed 10,000 units. Conflating BTR with institutional SFR acquisition is a policy error. A costly one. medium.com/@danielkaufm...
Michigan was always the answer. Several years of saying it. $16B just confirmed it. Oracle. Blackstone. 1GW. Saline Township. Largest investment in state history. The fundamentals were never the question. medium.com/@danielkaufm... #DataCenters #Michigan #AI
Two years ago we made a contrarian bet on SF, Chicago, and Atlanta when everyone else was running. The data is catching up. AI has taken SF office from 2M → 8.75M SF. Atlanta just flipped positive. Chicago is still the buy. Latest Kaufman & Company Report 👇 medium.com/@danielkaufm...

Office isn’t dead. It’s splitting in two AI firms = 20% of major U.S. leases. SF alone projected 15M SF in 4 years Meanwhile commodity office faces demolition, conversion, and rising costs Two different asset classes. Same name. Very different outcomes Full breakdown ↔️ medium.com/@danielkaufm...

Everyone told me San Francisco was dead. I kept buying. I kept building. March data: #1 apartment rent growth in the US. 6.8%. Vacancy at a 10-year low. Mission Bay up 14%+. Broken supply pipelines aren't a warning. They're the thesis. danielkaufmanreal.estate/2026/04/09/i...
