The Flight to Stability: Why Commercial Real Estate Is Back in the Spotlight

Plus: Our new partnership with Equity Trust makes it easier than ever to invest using your retirement account.

We’re starting to see it again: confidence returning to the commercial real estate (CRE) market.

After several quarters of volatility and caution, many investors—both institutional and individual—are shifting toward cash-flowing, lower-risk real estate assets in secondary and tertiary markets. Why? Because CRE is proving its resilience—especially when paired with smart, long-term capital.

📊 Market Momentum in 2025

The most recent CBRE 2025 U.S. Real Estate Market Outlook highlights a clear trend toward stability across sectors:

🏢 Multifamily: Vacancy rates are projected to decline to 4.9% in 2025, down from 5.3% in Q3 2024, with rents expected to increase an average of 2.6%.
🛍️ Retail: A lack of new construction is keeping availability rates at historic lows, driving up asking rents in many markets.

In their words:

“Private capital is expected to be the most active buyer segment in 2025, with an increasing preference for low-leverage, stabilized assets in growth markets.”

We’re seeing it too. At Missional Capital Group, we’ve built our entire investment thesis around low-leverage, stabilized multifamily and retail properties in high-demand areas.

🏦 Big News: You Can Now Invest Using Your IRA

Introducing Our Partnership with Equity Trust

We’re proud to announce a new partnership with Equity Trust, one of the largest custodians of Self-Directed IRAs (SDIRAs) in the country.

If you’ve ever wanted to use your retirement funds to invest in real estate—without paying taxes on gains—this is your chance.

Why investors love SDIRAs:

✅ Diversification away from Wall Street

✅ Tax-deferred or tax-free growth, depending on account type

✅ Control over what you invest in

🔁 How It Works (3 Easy Steps):

Open an SDIRA with Equity Trust
Transfer or roll over funds from an existing IRA or 401(k)
Invest in one of our upcoming CRE opportunities

We’ll help guide you through it, step-by-step.

🧱 Missional Capital Update

We remain focused on stabilized, income-producing assets with long-term upside. Our most recent acquisitions have continued to perform, and we’re preparing for our next investor opportunity soon.

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to deploy capital—or looking for a smarter use of your retirement funds—this could be your window.

Final Thought:

Some of the world’s wealthiest families hold large portions of their wealth in private real estate—and for good reason. It’s durable. It’s tax-advantaged. And when the public markets zig, real estate often zags.

Now you can tap into the same opportunities—with your IRA.

Let’s build something meaningful together.
