In this episode, Dave Dubeau welcomes Tiffany Mittal, founder of Utility Ranger and a seasoned multifamily investor, to uncover how small landlords can reclaim lost profits by turning utilities into a revenue stream.

Karl walks through real examples: a shoe company that raised $1.3M by turning customers into investors through a Reg CF campaign, a construction-tech firm that replaced a stalled convertible note with a discount-plus-equity structure, and a workforce-housing concept that pre-sold units to local employers to de-risk development. You'll learn why who you talk to can matter more than how you pitch, how to work backward from the end state (tenants and buyers) to make projects bankable, and simple ways to reframe ROI so investors see value they control.   - Get Interviewed on the Show! - ================================== Are you a real estate investor with some 'tales from the trenches' you'd like to share with our audience?

Frederick Hubler Jr., an independent financial advisor and Forbes contributor, pulls back the curtain on how major endowments and foundations invest, and how everyday accredited investors (including active real estate folks) can borrow that playbook. He explains how DSTs can help a seller complete a 1031 exchange into fractional ownership of large, stabilized, income-producing properties—think Amazon distribution centers, senior housing, student housing—without taking on new management duties. We cover who qualifies, why DSTs can be a powerful “get the seller off the fence” tool, what typical cash flow ranges look like, how leverage and depreciation carry over, and the three exit paths when a DST “lands.” Frederick also shares real-world examples, trade-offs (like 5–8 year hold periods), and why some investors use DSTs to reset basis and keep swapping to defer taxes over time.   - Get Interviewed on the Show! - ================================== Are you a real estate investor with some 'tales from the trenches' you'd like to share with our audience?

Adrian shares how his team scaled to 515+ doors through joint ventures, why Ontario's tenant landscape pushed him to reconsider heavy value-add plays, and how CMHC's up to 95% loan-to-cost and 50-year amortization on new construction changed the math. He walks us through a typical project on a 60' x 200' lot: demolish a bungalow, pour slab-on-grade, wood-frame 3-storey / 10-unit (all 2-bed/2-bath ~900 sq ft), above-ground parking, and no elevators—to keep timelines tight and avoid site plan approval where possible. We dig into timelines (about 4–4.5 months to permits; ~18 months build), MLI energy efficiency + affordability point targets, tranche funding with a quantity surveyor, 5- vs 10-year terms, and why Adrian still prefers 5-year to give JV partners flexibility at refi or disposition.   - Get Interviewed on the Show! - ================================== Are you a real estate investor with some 'tales from the trenches' you'd like to share with our audience?

He opens up about the lessons learned from wins and losses, the importance of transparency with investors, and how to navigate today's challenging market.

Dave sits down with investor and WREN (Women's Real Estate Network) founder Deborah Razo to unpack her path from chasing passive income to mastering highly active flips, value-add projects, and larger multifamily as a co-GP. Deborah explains why California flips make sense (but buy-and-holds often don't), how she built systems and teams, and the real day-to-day of solving problems across markets like Arizona, Texas, and Puerto Rico. She also tells the origin story of WREN—born from a brunch, built on community—and how seeing women do the thing helps more women do the thing. What You'll Learn How Deborah used flips to fund buy-and-hold rentals (and why Memphis cash flowed when L.A. didn't) The realities of L.A. development and why she paused new builds in today's market The difference between “passive” goals and very active flipping income Building systems, teams, and “trust but verify” checks with contractors and property managers   - Get Interviewed on the Show! - ================================== Are you a real estate investor with some 'tales from the trenches' you'd like to share with our audience?

Christina started investing young, learned some hard lessons in 2008–09, and now blends hands-on real estate experience with a deep focus on mindset. She explains why “discernment vs. judgment” matters for every financial decision, how to pick assets that match your desired day-to-day life, and what it looks like to quarterback a plan from investor profile to team, deal flow, and execution. She also shares how she diversifies across direct ownership (Indy SFRs and Tulsa multifamily), hard-money lending, LP positions, and stocks—plus why mid-sized “mom & pop” multifamily can be a sweet spot. What You'll Learn How to define your Investor Profile (where you are, where you're going, and how you'll get there) Why lifestyle goals should shape your strategy (active vs. passive, job vs. freedom) “Discernment vs. judgment”: a simple mental model for better choices under pressure A practical approach to portfolio analysis and realignment to your “North Star” Where smaller multifamily fits today and why market selection matters The value of diversification across direct ownership, LP stakes, lending, and equities   - Get Interviewed on the Show! - ================================== Are you a real estate investor with some 'tales from the trenches' you'd like to share with our audience?

Forrest shares how he scaled from small multifamily into licensed rooming houses across Greater Boston and southern New Hampshire—ranging from 11 rooms to a 76-unit, dorm-style building with commercial kitchens and daily-cleaned common areas. He explains why he buys existing, properly licensed assets (instead of cutting up apartments), how tenant demand is driven by affordability, and why management intensity and collections risk are the price of higher margins. We also talk sober living, mixed-use sites (including a laundromat), compliance basics in Massachusetts, and how his property management company supports other owners entering the space.   - Get Interviewed on the Show! - ================================== Are you a real estate investor with some 'tales from the trenches' you'd like to share with our audience?

Logan breaks down how he defines and tracks “meaningful conversations” (about 100 per month) to focus only on activities that move deals forward. He explains his Kansas City strategy, why creative structures beat chasing yesterday's cap rates, and how he blends AI with CRE fundamentals to deliver same-day portfolio and market analyses clients love. Key Topics Meaningful conversations → measurable pipeline: How Logan defines, tracks, and protects time for high-value chats with owners, investors, vendors, and tenants. “Land squatting” for flex industrial: Adapting Neil Bawa's idea—option raw land, drive entitlements/rezoning, line up build-to-suit users, and package “paper lots” or fully approved sites. AI as an edge (with verification): Using frameworks, proprietary data, and tools to create 10–12 page portfolio audits in ~35 minutes—then spot-checking outputs before client delivery. Why Kansas City works: Affordability, logistics (rail and 2-day truck reach to ~80% of the U.S.), supply-constrained multifamily, and surging data-center development.   - Get Interviewed on the Show! - ================================== Are you a real estate investor with some 'tales from the trenches' you'd like to share with our audience?

In this episode of the Property Profits Podcast, host Dave Dubeau sits down with Jonathan Twombly, a seasoned real estate investor who made the leap from multifamily housing to boutique hotels. Broadcasting from New York City, Jonathan shares the story behind his shift into the hospitality space and breaks down how he's generating returns by reviving tired, underutilized hotel assets in prime locations. From spotting rundown roadside inns to managing major renovations, Jonathan walks us through the numbers and the strategy behind his most exciting deal — including how he bought a 37-key property for under $2M, spent $1.5M on renovations, and saw a broker opinion of value come in at $6M post-reno. You'll hear: Why location trumps branding when it comes to boutique hotels How operational inefficiencies in mom-and-pop hotels create opportunity The pros and cons of hospitality vs. multifamily investing A boots-on-the-ground look at managing hotel renovations, on-site crews, and seasonal cycles How Jonathan uses direct-to-seller strategies to uncover his next big project   - Get Interviewed on the Show! - ================================== Are you a real estate investor with some 'tales from the trenches' you'd like to share with our audience?

John breaks down the two “jobs” of multifamily—acquisitions and execution—and why asset management wins in today's market. He explains why he favors Midwest markets for steadier rent growth, how local supply/demand and job bases drive performance, and why newer “boom” markets can be whiplash-prone. John also walks through a recent Louisville deal—from spotting a mismarketed opportunity on LoopNet to boosting income with simple operational plays (think pet amenities, fee optimization, and insurance compliance partnerships). On raising capital, he shares how expectations have shifted, why education and service-first relationships matter more than ever, and practical ways to expand your reach without “selling.”   - Get Interviewed on the Show! - ================================== Are you a real estate investor with some 'tales from the trenches' you'd like to share with our audience?

In this conversation, Wayne breaks down his 80/20 approach: 80% stabilized, cash-flowing multifamily (100–150 units, 1980s+), and 20% entrepreneurial projects like 20×50 storage, build-to-rent, and a mixed-use development in Bryan, Texas. He explains how conservative underwriting, loan assumptions, and fixed-rate financing have helped him sidestep recent industry turbulence—and even buy a San Antonio asset ~$3M below last year's price. We dig into the business case for large-format storage (think concrete, steel, low expenses, sticky business tenants), the realities of lease-up and operations, and why Wayne keeps these projects in the “innovation lab” while doubling down on bread-and-butter multifamily. Wayne also outlines his capital stack, how he combined 506(b) and 506(c) to include both known non-accredited and accredited investors, and the investor experience he aims to deliver: consistent communication, realistic cash flow, and education first.   - Get Interviewed on the Show! - ================================== Are you a real estate investor with some 'tales from the trenches' you'd like to share with our audience?

What if the best way to build wealth in real estate wasn't through piling on debt, but through a simple, steady strategy that builds lasting security? In this episode of The Property Profits Podcast, host Dave Dubeau sits down with Dustin Heiner from Master Passive Income. Dustin is “successfully unemployed” thanks to his 30+ single-family homes and apartment complexes. But unlike many gurus, Dustin took a contrarian path—paying down properties, reducing risk, and creating a business that funds his life and his legacy. You'll hear how Dustin: Built a portfolio of 30+ single-family homes starting with little knowledge and money Balanced leverage with his wife's comfort level by aggressively paying down mortgages Used the “snowball method” to pay off properties and free up more cash flow Teaches his own kids to buy rental properties—even his 16-year-old daughter already owns one!

In this episode, Dave chats with Cincinnati-based investor Evan Polaski about balancing a full-time investor relations role with personal investing. Evan breaks down how Axia Partners shifted from a broad mix (self-storage, RV parks, multifamily, and a 230,000-sq-ft industrial development) toward heavier emphasis on RV parks and value-add multifamily in Middle America—and why today's pricing has them patient on new multifamily acquisitions. He explains how fixed-rate debt and conservative underwriting have kept their 2021 multifamily deals cash-flowing (with strong NOI growth) even as exit timelines stretch. On the capital-raising front, Evan shares what's actually moving the needle now: nailing execution for current investors, nurturing referral networks, and participating in the right mastermind communities long before you need to raise. For newer capital raisers, Evan's advice is simple and powerful: know your deals inside and out, never “wing” answers, give straight talk (with proper disclaimers), and recognize that not every investor is the right fit—protect your future sanity and reputation by trusting your gut.   - Get Interviewed on the Show! - ================================== Are you a real estate investor with some 'tales from the trenches' you'd like to share with our audience?

Dave digs into Brett's contrarian take on 1031s and the risks of “equal or greater value/debt” replacement during tight deadlines. Brett breaks down how a properly structured installment sale with a dedicated trust (under IRC 453) can defer capital gains, allow flexible reinvestment (real estate equity or debt, diversified portfolios, even new ventures), and help investors “sell high, buy low.” He shares real client examples, common objections (legality, trustee control, fees), practical timelines, and how interest vs. principal payouts are taxed.     - Get Interviewed on the Show! - ================================== Are you a real estate investor with some 'tales from the trenches' you'd like to share with our audience?

In this episode of The Property Profits Podcast with Dave Dubeau, Bruce shares his unique approach to “distressed situation acquisitions” in the multifamily space. From properties with major operational or physical issues to today's wave of financial distress caused by risky financing structures, Bruce explains why he sees these challenges as a clear path to profit.

Whitney shares her path from early house hacking to building a diverse portfolio across asset classes and layers of the capital stack. She explains why express car washes (not gas-station automatics or high-labor full-service models) can be a high-margin, subscription-friendly business—when you buy right, operate at scale, and choose the right corner. We dig into seasonality, water-use rules, equipment choices, and competition, plus how her team centralized third-party management across 30 locations in ~15 communities to gain purchasing power and in-house tech talent. Whitney also lays out how passive investors can evaluate these deals, target a healthy mix of subscription vs. single-pay customers, and balance cash flow today with equity plays when market cycles turn. Key Takeaways Express car wash ≠ automated gas-station bay. It's a long, smart tunnel with minimal staff and strong unit economics. Subscriptions smooth revenue. Targets around 75–80% recurring, while keeping single-pay volume for new-customer flow. Location is everything. Right submarket, right side of the road, and strong daily traffic (convenience wins). Scale matters. Centralized ops, in-house techs, and bulk contracts can lift margins beyond mom-and-pop levels. Risk & fit for LPs. Understand seasonality, local water policy, equipment vintage, and whether you're taking development risk. Portfolio strategy. Diversify across asset classes and up/down the capital stack to ride different market cycles.   - Get Interviewed on the Show! - ================================== Are you a real estate investor with some 'tales from the trenches' you'd like to share with our audience?

Victorious came into real estate as a flipper/wholesaler in 2017, closing ~150 deals across Georgia and South Carolina. When COVID froze bank lending, he learned to raise private capital, shifted toward debt over equity to stay nimble, and built a relationship-driven machine that now fuels his investing and brokerage teams (he's with eXp).
