Kiss My Assets

A rapid-fire portfolio update. Flagstaff's Route 66 keeps humming—cash flowing, zero evictions, major systems renewed—and graduates into our long-hold REIT. In Phoenix, 12th Place and 36th Street have stabilized with fixed-rate refis after meaningful debt paydowns, while 52nd's patio and unit upgrades are leasing above expectations. We close with Venture on Maryland: fully funded, ~$2M in targeted renovations, and a clear path to close the rent-to-market gap—plus quick hits on Country Club's fire-system approvals and steady performance at the I-17 townhomes.      

This week we tackle two big stories shaping Arizona real estate. First, the affordability gap in Phoenix — buyers now need $22,500 more just to qualify for a median home, with down payments outpacing annual salaries. What does that mean for renters, multifamily demand, and the future of homeownership in the Valley? Then we turn to Scottsdale Quarter's $645M sale and the planned $100M redevelopment aimed at transforming it into a luxury live-work-play hub. We unpack how these shifts reflect Arizona's growth, where investor money is flowing, and what it means for everyday residents.

In this episode, we dive into our newest acquisition — Venture on Maryland. Jason and Heather share why this vintage property stood out, the renovation strategy we're implementing, and how the neighborhood's strong fundamentals support our investment. We break down the financials, including our $10.7M purchase price compared to the previous owner's $17M, and discuss how thoughtful upgrades will reposition the property for long-term success. We also zoom out to explore bigger trends in Arizona real estate: why the state continues to attract first-time homebuyers, the shifting dynamics between renting and owning, and how major players like Jordan Peterson and institutional investors are making big bets in the Valley. Heather highlights the personal, boutique-style property management approach that sets Venture Residences apart, including the power of resident referrals and building long-term community ties. Whether you're a current investor or just curious about Arizona's multifamily landscape, this episode offers insights on why location, timing, and a hands-on approach make all the difference.

In this episode, the Neighborhood Ventures team takes you inside our newest multifamily acquisition, Venture on Maryland in Phoenix. We break down how the deal came together, the property's unique value-add potential, and why we believe it's well-positioned in today's market. Tune in to hear about the acquisition process, renovation strategy, projected returns, and what this means for our growing investor community.

Bart sits down with co-founder John Koborowski to rapid-fire update the portfolio—especially assets tied to Neighborhood Ventures' Opportunistic Fund: Asset #1 (acquired Jan ‘25): Occupancy jumped from 72% → 85%+ as tenant quality improved and maintenance was brought in-house; Google reviews surged from ~2.5★ to 5★ under on-site leadership. Venture on 52nd (closed mid-March): Now 94% occupied with 12 new leases and 15 renewals trending to market. Light CapEx (sound-dampening doors on Thomas-facing units, new semi-private patios) is boosting NOI and rental appeal. Venture on 12th Place: Strategic refinance converted $2M debt → $2M equity, locking in fixed financing and positioning a well-renovated, high-occupancy asset for a stronger hold. Venture on Maryland (under contract): 78 units in Central Phoenix at a compelling basis with lender-backed reno dollars; plan is staged interior upgrades and bringing ~$1,100 one-beds toward ~$1,500 market rents. Venture on Country Club: City-driven life-safety upgrades (sprinklers, egress, signage) slated to start September with tenants in place—stabilizing operations in a “buy-don't-sell” market. Clear takeaways: disciplined ops, targeted CapEx, and cycle-aware buying are driving occupancy, NOI, and long-term positioning across the NV portfolio.

On this episode of the Neighborhood Ventures Podcast, the team introduces Venture on Maryland, a 78-unit multifamily property in Central Phoenix acquired at a significant discount. Purchased for $10.7M (down from $17M in 2022), the property will undergo $2M in renovations to modernize units and boost rental demand in one of Phoenix's most desirable neighborhoods. Jason and Heidi walk through how NV sourced the deal, why the seller was motivated, and how strong lender alignment secured favorable loan terms—including 100% of renovation costs financed. They also share the renovation strategy, timeline, and exit plan, while explaining how this acquisition fits into the broader Opportunistic Fund alongside other distressed assets. For investors, it's a behind-the-scenes look at why now is the time to buy in Phoenix's multifamily market—and how NV executes its buy-renovate-stabilize strategy for long-term value.

In this episode of the Neighborhood Ventures Podcast, the team dives into two major developments shaping Arizona's future. First, they unpack Toyota's decision to build a $50 million testing facility in Whitman — why the location makes sense, what it means for high-skill jobs, and how it cements Arizona as a hub for automotive and mobility innovation. Then, the conversation shifts to Phoenix's new $60 million Shade Plan, aiming to plant 27,000 trees and build 550 shade structures to combat extreme heat and improve “tree equity” in underserved neighborhoods. Together, these stories highlight Arizona's unique mix of affordability, innovation, and climate adaptation — and what it all means for residents, investors, and the multifamily housing market.

In this episode of the Neighborhood Ventures Podcast, Lexi moderates a discussion with Bart and Heidi on three major stories shaping Arizona's market. First, Dutch Bros is moving its headquarters to Tempe — bringing jobs, culture, and long-term growth potential. Next, they unpack why multifamily absorption is outpacing supply and what that means for rent growth, concessions, and investors. Finally, they explore the rise of millionaire renters in Phoenix, why high-net-worth individuals are choosing luxury apartments over ownership, and how this shift impacts both lifestyle and economics. Whether you're an investor, renter, or simply curious about Arizona's booming real estate market, this episode dives deep into what these trends mean for the Valley.

Bart sits down with CEO Jason Manwaring to break down Neighborhood Ventures' latest moves amid a frozen resale market and higher interest rates. They cover why NV launched the Arizona Multifamily Opportunistic Fund, how it scooped up Venture on Colter and Venture on 52nd Street at 30–35% discounts, and why Venture on 12th Place was added after solving a tough refinance gap—now sitting on permanent debt with recent appraisals around ~$9M. They also update the NV REIT (MBE)—currently paying a 5% monthly dividend with stabilized, cash-flowing assets in Phoenix and Flagstaff—and preview new acquisitions in the pipeline. Property spotlights include Venture on 36th Street (fully occupied; moving to permanent financing) and Venture on 17th (stabilized with rents trending up).

Trump's unexpected 125% tariff on China has rattled markets and sparked volatility far beyond what most anticipated—especially considering tariffs weren't a major part of his campaign. In this episode, Jamison unpacks how these developments are impacting construction costs, investor confidence, and multifamily real estate.   We dive into why stock traders may be cheering, but builders are bracing for impact. As new developments slow, existing multifamily properties look more appealing than ever.

We have seen positive changes in the eyes of the market but we know there are always two sides to every story. We cover Trumps promises and where we think real estate fits into his plans.

We explore how rent caps affect the multifamily market, the ongoing supply-demand dilemma, and whether a national rent cap is even possible. Can landlords and residents both win? Then, we dive into why multifamily construction is taking a nosedive. In 2024 alone, 168,000 more units have been completed than started—what's going on?

In this episode of Kiss My Assets - Jamison Manwaring interviews special guest, Kimberly Taynton, who is the Vice President and Senior Underwriting for BWE (Bellwether Enterprise). The two delve into various facets of commercial real estate lending, with a primary focus on HUD (Housing and Urban Development) loans, property sizes, and career guidance. The conversation dives into the applicability of HUD loans across different property sizes. However, it's also noted that processing small apartment buildings with HUD can be quite labor-intensive. Despite this, lenders typically prefer larger loans, typically ranging from one to two million dollars or more, due to the effort involved.   The discussion proceeds to shed light on the average loan sizes within the HUD program. Kimberly mentions that her company's primary focus lies in loans of $25 million and above, with some even exceeding the $50 million mark. Interestingly, these loans are sized at 80% loan-to-cost or occasionally as high as 85%, despite facing higher interest rates. The conversation takes a turn towards offering career advice, especially for young college students. Kimberly suggests pursuing a degree in Real Estate Finance or obtaining an MBA with a finance background. She highlights the importance of gaining practical experience through internships to ascertain whether the field aligns with one's interests and ambitions. However, she also cautions that despite the intriguing nature of the real estate industry, it involves meticulous detail work and extensive writing.    Kimberly emphasizes the critical factor of finding a career that complements one's interests and strengths, whether that lies in underwriting, origination, or other aspects of real estate. Moreover, she shares her own career journey, noting how she transitioned to client-facing roles alongside her underwriting responsibilities, adding depth to her career experience.   To watch the episode pieces on YouTube, check out the links below.
