The Best Ever CRE Show ·

2025/08/31

On this episode of The Horizon, John discusses two big themes: a looming seniors housing supply gap and why multifamily still looks durable. He explains that the 80+ population is set to surge while construction lags far behind NIC MAP’s estimated needs, pushing occupancies up and rents higher—though labor shortages remain a risk. He then pivots to apartments, noting record absorption, a historically wide cost gap between owning and renting, and a steep drop in new starts—all of which should keep

On this episode of Next Leve CRE, Matt Faircloth interviews Robert Martinez. Robert walks through building Rockstar Capital from post-recession Class B/C roots to a Houston-centric portfolio, why he now underwrites conservatively (e.g., ~65% LTV, stress-tested exits), and how inflation, insurance spikes, and rates forced operators to sharpen fundamentals. He shares his “make them stay” playbook—prioritizing AC/boilers and quality turns, adding Amazon-style lockers and in-unit laundry, converting

On this episode of the Passive Income Playbook, Pascal Wagner interviews Chris Reece about lending against cannabis-licensed real estate and why he underwrites properties to an alternative (non-cannabis) use to de-risk senior mortgages on stabilized assets. They dig into MJ REIT’s evergreen, 506(c) structure—monthly subscriptions/redemptions, no lockup, a $25k minimum—and its goal of double-digit annualized distributions (11.27% net since inception) paid monthly. Chris contrasts construction lending

On this episode of Beyond Multifamily, Ash Patel interviews Logan Freeman (“Mr. Kansas City”), an investor–developer–broker who’s bullish on select office and small-bay industrial.

On this episode of Best Ever CRE, Joe Cornwell interviews Dani Beit-Or about his “get-rich-slow” approach to long-distance rental investing and how he started with a sight-unseen Phoenix purchase in 2002 before moving to the U.S. in 2004. He shares cycle-tested lessons from the 2008 crash, why boring, bread-and-butter single-family and small multis still win, and how to pick metros using fundamentals (jobs, demographics, landlord-friendly laws) instead of herd advice. Dani explains current plays to

The Best Ever CRE Show ·

2025/08/24

On this episode of The Horizon, John discusses the July retail sales print—strong nominally but essentially flat after inflation—and why consumer capacity to spend (healthier debt-to-income ratios and rising savings) is at odds with willingness to spend as sentiment softens. He explains how tariffs are likely to shift more costs from businesses to consumers in coming months, potentially weighing on Q4 sales and nudging inflation higher. Translating this to CRE, John expects more pressure on West

On this episode of Next Leve CRE, Matt Faircloth interviews Chris Zona. Chris explains how litigation can be used offensively to acquire properties—leveraging non-performing loans (NPLs), credit bids at auction, and receivership—to turn “conflict into capital.” They break down practical playbooks for both quick exits and long-term holds, including borrower workouts and covenant rewrites, plus where smaller and mid-market investors can realistically start. Chris also outlines risks, jurisdictional

On this episode of Beyond Multifamily, Amanda Cruise and Ash Patel interview Ira Zlotowitz. Ira explains GPARENCY’s fixed-fee “mortgage assurance” model—$4,500 to shop your deal, create real competition among lenders, and hand you the best term sheet without taking a closing commission. He contrasts this with traditional brokers (exclusives, success fees, misaligned incentives), and shows how owners can use lender data (via GPARENCY’s G‑Placer) to find active banks for niche assets and markets.
