Incredibly, at least for anyone who has lived through previous economic cycles, the current upcycle is now pivoting into its eighth year. And though there have been some concerns and a few negatives in the past year—sandbags on the exuberance, if you will—the overall outlook, especially for commercial real estate, and within that rarified group, property management, points to 2018 as a net positive. We had some moments of pause, of course, many of which took some of the wind out of the sails of investment. As an industry, we entered 2017 with question marks about the Brexit controversy, and we followed that up with the more homegrown unknowns of a new administration and the return of interest rate increases.
