The Iowa Tax Story Nobody Is Talking About 🚨

Many Iowa multifamily owners may see property taxes jump significantly over the next two years.

At a time when rents are flat and interest rates remain elevated, every dollar matters.

If you own apartments in Iowa, this is something you need to be watching.

Rates jumped last quarter. Watch them carefully if you're refinancing.

FULL QUARTER REPORT LINK HERE: https://katalystteam.com/quarterly-report-q12026/

Interest rates moved up in Q1 due to international conflict. Some Fed officials are even calling for a rate increase.

If you're considering a refinance, watch rates carefully.

The rate reset is already beginning. Property taxes are in question. Insurance is high. Rent growth is flat.

This is the environment you're operating in.

Strong management skills and the ability to insulate net operating income will be crucial for anyone looking to hold or refinance.

Our Q1 2026 Quarterly Report breaks down the rate environment, the debt timeline, and what it means for your strategy.

Development is down 40%. Here's why that matters.

FULL QUARTER REPORT LINK HERE: https://katalystteam.com/quarterly-report-q12026/

Central Iowa has 1,904 multifamily units under construction right now.

That sounds like a lot — until you realize it's down 40% from last year.

Fewer units coming online means less supply pressure on rents in the near term. But it also signals that developers are pulling back as rates and costs climb.

Development is a leading indicator. When it slows, the market shifts.

Our Q1 2026 Quarterly Report tracks the development pipeline, the sales data, and the occupancy rates to give you a complete picture of where the market is headed.

Iowa's GDP grew 4.65%. Here's why that matters for multifamily.

FULL QUARTER REPORT LINK HERE: https://katalystteam.com/quarterly-report-q12026/

Over the last 6 months, Iowa's economy has been growing slightly — about 0.5% per year. GDP jumped from $265.8 billion by 4.65%.

But here's the signal: Iowa ranks 47th in out-migration.

That's important for multifamily investors because it means rental growth will be tepid. Less demand for housing from people moving in.

At the same time, I'm seeing listings surge almost 300% across Iowa in the last 6 months. More options for buyers, more competition for sellers.

The next 24–36 months will require strong operations and insulated net operating income to navigate.

Our Q1 2026 Quarterly Report tracks the Iowa economy, the multifamily market, and what it all means for your portfolio.
