Brian Burke got into corrections in his early twenties, spent four years working inside the New York state prison system, and then spent twenty-nine years as a New York court officer — experiencing the full spectrum of what the American justice system looks like from the person responsible for maintaining order in the room where it all happens. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, he shares what four years in the New York state prison system taught him, what twenty-nine years as a court officer — the juries, the defendants, the prosecutors, the judges, and the heartbreaking and strangest moments the job produced — really looked like from the inside, and what his most significant professional experience actually involved: personally escorting Rex Heuermann — the Gilgo Beach serial killer — throughout his arrest, conviction, and sentencing, and what that specific proximity to one of the most disturbing criminal cases in recent New York history actually revealed about the person at the center of it. _____________________________________________ #officer #truecrimestories #court #newyork _____________________________________________ Thank you to CASH APP for sponsoring this episode: Download Cash App Today: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/6pao71et #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

You invested in a real estate syndication, fund, or partnership. Now, the operator is coming to you asking for more cash. Whether expenses went up, income went down, mortgage rates had to be refinanced, or a combination of all three, you're on the line—do you put more cash into the deal with hopes it saves your principal, or do you walk away, take a loss, and try again? This is what we do when the capital calls come our way. A “capital call” is exactly what it sounds like—an operator is calling for more capital to be invested in a deal. But, more often than you'd think, you don't have to say yes. Kathy recently told an operator “no” when they needed another sizable investment. Why? The money wasn't going to the right place, and it wouldn't have saved (or improved) the deal. So how do you know when you should put in more money? Today, we're talking all about capital calls—when to invest, when to walk away, what to ask for, when there's fraud, and the three rules we personally follow before putting another dollar into the deal. More capital calls are coming, and you'd better be prepared before they do. In This Episode We Cover Capital calls explained—when it's to improve a property vs. delay an inevitable loss Three rules Kathy and James follow before putting any money into a capital call When to (sternly) say “no” to an operator who's trying to pocket your extra investment Signs that it is worth it to invest more and your return will be saved (or increased) The four people who must look over the documents with you before you invest and during a capital call And So Much More!

The Dubas Cube 07/31/26 Per The Athletic's Josh Yohe, the Pittsburgh Penguins' 2026-2027 season holds the promise of … not much! PIT's GM, Kyle Dubas wasn't all that impressed with what he saw when he went free-agency-shopping, or the pieces he coveted were simply out of his league, for lack of a better turn of phrase. Jordan and Jeff talk Malkin, Kuzmenko, Murashov, Silovs, Chinakov, and… now wait JUST a minute… are the Penguins “Turning Russian” — more than a little like an Eastern European version of a racy early 80's pop song?

After a week away, the boys are back at it this week and we start off by diving in with a great team of the week - the 2010-11 Vancouver Canucks! They won the Presidents' Trophy in a landslide, had a prolific set of twins operating at their peak Sedinery, and they seemed destined to end Canada's Stanley Cup drought. From Bobby Lu between the pipes to a great young collection of players including Kesler, Burrows and Bieksa, this team had everything . . . except the final win, which the Boston Bruins took in a riotus affair.In the second period, it's all Jets baby as we break down the local squads offseason moves so far. Swedish Chef Viggo is confirmed to be cooking in North America this season, while Stuuuuuuu brings a great 'stache and some stability between the pipes. Plus, Mario Ferraro is finally a Jet, and our blue line is shaping up nicely! We ask what Chevy has left to do before training camp opens - and is a Helle big trade on the horizon?Then we Offer Sheet Madness! Sure, the Ducks and Mammoth matched on their young stars, but did Philly and the Devils just make offer sheets cool again? We tried to get Brian Burke on the phone, but he's still out punching walls...
We've officially reached the halfway point of 2026, and the housing market still feels…stuck. The economy is in limbo. Home prices haven't tanked. And we aren't seeing significant large multifamily distress...not yet at least. Is it just a matter of time before the other shoe finally drops, or is this market more resilient than we expected? Brian Burke is back to give his pulse check on the 2026 housing market. What has changed? Has anything changed? We're breaking down some of the predictions we made earlier in the year, the biggest surprises from the last six months, and how we're adjusting our expectations for 2027 and beyond. The truth is, this “boring” market is exactly the kind of environment that has made disciplined real estate investors very wealthy. Residential real estate values are holding steady, and commercial real estate could be set up for a 10-year bull run. So, is it a better time to buy than the headlines suggest—or will those holding out for a 2008-style housing crash be proven right? In This Episode We Cover Brian Burke's mid-year pulse check on the 2026 housing market The 10-year commercial real estate bull run that could kick off in 2028 How to create long-term wealth with “smart” portfolio construction Why we haven't seen significant large multifamily distress (yet) The three “types” of real estate syndication failure (and why they matter) And So Much More!

Welcome back to The Buck Stops Here! In this special episode, Kirk is joined by regular guest and Long Island native Robert Dobek to step away from baseball and tackle the gridiron and the ice.First, Kirk breaks down some breaking news and "shady" optics surrounding the 2026 Hockey Hall of Fame class and Brian Burke's induction.

Finally, Kirk teases a massive new grassroots project to redo the Baseball Hall of Fame starting in 1909, ensuring Negro League legends are honored in real-time.If you love deep-dive sports debates, Hall of Fame arguments, and unfiltered takes, you're in the right place!

Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill are joined by Brian Burke for a conversation on the future of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Burke shares his thoughts on Auston Matthews and why he believes the Leafs captain still wants to stay in Toronto. He also weighs in on the draft lottery and what landing the No. 1 pick could mean for the franchise —calling it a complete game changer.

Additionally, Burke discusses Craig Berube's future behind the Leafs bench, outlines his biggest offseason priorities for the organization, and reveals that if Toronto ultimately keeps the top pick, he believes the selection should be Gavin McKenna.

Tee Time For Pittsburgh 05/06/26 The Pittsburgh Penguins' 2025-26 campaign has come to an end. Eliminated in an overtime, Game 6 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, the Pens overachieved and bowed out early. No harm, no foul. We all got extra hockey, the organization generated some playoff revenue from tickets, concessions, and merch, and after a slow start, we were all treated to some thrilling hockey in Games three through six. Jeff and Jordan recap the season that was, discussing - among other things - Evgeni Malkin's future with the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Game Six: Balboa Penguins Force Philly Return 04/29/26 No one saw any of this coming, so each shift we behold - with Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Kris Letang together in the Stanley Cup Playoffs - is a gift to Penguins fans around the world. And yet we find ourselves riveted by the drama, as number eighty-seven and his scrappy, resilient team pushes through the reedy swamp of the most unlikely of comebacks. The Flyers, after jumping out to a three games to none lead, have stumbled while the Pens have surged. Former Calder Cup MVP and Penguins net minder Arturs Silovs stood tall in games four and five, and heretofore absent elements to the Penguins' postseason game: Depth scoring, Superstars getting going, just to name a couple, have arrived at either just the right moment …or a little bit too late. Either way, we're being treated to a classic. A Keystone State Battle to write home about. Tonight the Penguins visit Philadelphia for what will either be their storybook season's final tilt or, as some die-hard Penguins fans assert and hope: one more salvo in the name of a reverse sweep. Make no mistake: The Flyers faithful are sweating this game. Enjoy the podcast - Jeff and Jordan are back with you for some spirited Penguins hockey talk. Also, special thanks to Hunter and Jacob, a couple of newly minted hockey fans who came in through the ‘Heated Rivalry' side-entrance. Jeff met them at a local coffee shop, spotting them in some crisp, new Rakell / Crosby jerseys and simply had to ask them for a quick chat.

“X” Men 04/12/26 The Pittsburgh Penguins are going back to the Stanley Cup Playoffs!! Needless to say, Jordan and Jeff are beside themselves with unadulterated joy, personified by the sign-offs you'll hear at the conclusion of today's episode. Sidney, Kris, Evgeni, Erik, Bryan, and Ben all sat and rested their weary bones for yesterday's 6-3 loss to Ovechkin and the visiting Washington Capitals, but the big boys will PLAY today as the Caps make their final regular season home-ice appearance.

Florida Men 04/02/26 Nothing says ice hockey like FLORIDA, as for the past two NHL seasons no hockey club has been more successful than the FLORIDA Panthers. And if it's Florida hockey yinz want, then you're in luck - the Penguins tonight kick off a three-game stint versus the Lightning and Panthers. Tonight's game versus the Bolts will be played in Tampa, with the Cats curling up in Pittsburgh for a back-to-back residency at PPG Paints Arena on Saturday and Sunday. The Tampa team looks pretty darned dangerous and it's never wise to count out a reigning Stanley Cup champ, regardless of (the Panthers' mounting) ongoing injuries. Here's a link to Luke Temple's "Florida," a favorite song of mine. - Jeff Taylorhttps://music.apple.com/us/album/florida/677360515?i=677360696 Very special thanks to Espresso A Mano, Pittsburgh's finest coffee roasters and cafe, for partnering with Fly Penguins Fly podcast.

Few investors have gotten the real estate market as right as Brian Burke. He bought heavily discounted deals after 2008, sold at the post-2020 peak, waited years to buy, and finally just made his next big move—taking down a profitable, large investment property for 50%+ off. If he's finally getting back into the market, should you, too? Brian has owned thousands of rental units across dozens of apartment complexes, bought and sold 500+ single-family homes, and seems to innately know the time to buy, the time to sell, and, as he puts it, the time to sit on the beach. Brian is seeing seller pressure start to peak across a specific type of investment property—loans are coming due, and banks are forcing owners' hands. This is the opportunity we've all been waiting for. In today's episode, Brian explains how to get in front of these deals before other investors, the sector seeing the biggest discounts (50%+ off), and what small, single-family investors should do now to capitalize on the growing opportunity everyone seems to be ignoring. Heaven in 2027 for investors? Brian's been saying it for years—looks like he's about to be proven right. In This Episode We Cover Are short sales back?

Lords Of The Shootout 03/27/26 As we've been saying for YEARS, the Pittsburgh Penguins are the Lords Of The Shootout, striking fear into the hearts of any opposing team's goaltender.. etc, etc. We kid, we kid. Back-to-back shootout victories for your Pittsburgh Penguins are of course unheard of and downright unexpected - but the Steel City's flagship hockey club managed the feat nonetheless, besting ace goaler, Linus Ullmark for a massive 2-point party in the capital of Canada. As of today's posting (Fri March 27, 2026) the Penguins are in sole possession of 2nd place in the Metropolitan division. The podcast you're listening to was recorded the day before said game, on the heels of two epic home losses to the NHL's top teams, Carolina and Colorado.

Although prices on multifamily have come down from their peak more than at any other time in recent history, they still have more to go before they present a good buying opportunity. Rents have not risen, interest rates have not been lowered as anticipated, and oversupply persists in many markets. Yet prices are not reflecting these headwinds. Senior living facilities, on the other hand, are generating 8% yield year one with significant upside. Brian Burke, President and CEO of Praxis Capital, has been a multifamily operator for decades and has expanded into senior living facilities over the past year with tremendous success.

This week, Candice and Malessa sit down with Brian Burke, President and CEO of Praxis Capital and author of The Hands-Off Investor. After more than 30 years in real estate, Brian shares how he scaled from flipping single-family homes to managing over $500 million in multifamily assets, and why syndications became the key to growing while reducing day-to-day involvement. He breaks down what makes a deal trustworthy, how to evaluate sponsors, and the mindset required to invest through multiple market cycles. Plus, the hosts unpack a bold move shaking the commercial market: SL Green's $730 million office acquisition. Is this the signal that the office sector has bottomed out, or just an early bet on New York's recovery? They explore what renewed institutional confidence could mean for financing, pricing, and the future of commercial real estate.

In this powerful episode, Brad May returns for Part 2 of a raw and honest conversation about leadership, resilience, identity, and what it truly takes to win at the highest level.Brad reflects on being traded multiple times during his NHL career, adapting to new teams, and learning how to integrate into different locker rooms without disrupting culture. He shares the emotional journey of winning the Stanley Cup with the Anaheim Ducks — and why celebrating that moment with his family meant more than the trophy itself.The conversation expands beyond hockey into business leadership. Brad breaks down why coaches are “salesmen,” why clarity of vision is essential, and why delegation without interference builds trust. He unpacks the difference between playing not to lose versus playing to win — and why excuses quietly erode culture.At its core, this episode is about ownership. Ownership of performance. Ownership of mistakes. Ownership of mindset.As Brad says, there is no “try.” You either do or you don't.Episode Highlights:0:00 - Mindset over body: eliminating "try" and taking ownership0:34 - Welcome and introduction to part two of the episode1:31 - Adapting to seven different NHL teams and building new relationships6:00 - Winning the 2007 Stanley Cup with Anaheim after 16-year career7:50 - Scott Niedermeyer's perspective on being lucky to share the Cup with family11:04 - What makes a good coach: selling a system and getting buy-in13:49 - Comparing coaching styles: Mark Crawford vs Ted Nolan vs Randy Carlisle15:30 - Ted Nolan's simple advice: "Just play left wing" analogy17:31 - Randy Carlisle's relentless work ethic and pursuit of excellence21:28 - Why some players leave the game bitter and unfulfilled25:08 - Identity after hockey: from "I used to be" to "I am a hockey player"30:28 - Eliminating excuses: "You either do or you don't"33:28 - Leadership lesson from Brian Burke: delegating responsibility to coaches55:38 - Playing to win vs playing not to lose: the power of identifying your goal58:38 - The bar speech that united the team and families to win togetherKey Takeaways:Leaders must communicate crystal-clear goals (short, medium, and long term).Identity loss can derail high performers after retirement or career shifts.Playing to “not lose” creates hesitation; playing to win creates momentum.Ownership beats excuses — every time.Leaders must reflect on whether failure was execution or lack of resources.Energy, clarity, and consistency win over time.You must declare what you want — silence guarantees nothing.Resources Mentioned: The Secret (law of attraction concept)Tony Robbins – mindset principle referencedNIL (Name, Image, Likeness) era in NCAA athleticsCold plunge discipline practiceBillions (TV show reference for executive coaching concept)Notable Quotes: “Your mind is in charge. Doesn't matter what your body feels, just do it.” - Brad May“It's okay if you're not successful, but own it and learn from it and let's go. Let's keep moving.” - Brad May“The moment that a coach compromises his values, he's not the same guy and he's probably not as good.” - Brad May“A coach is just a salesman. He needs 25 guys to buy in.” - Brad May“You gotta enjoy the small wins.” - Dwayne Kerrigan“There's just some people, some leaders, who are just not having the hard enough conversations.” - Dwayne Kerrigan“You also have to have people around you that are willing to say - hey, you're being either too easy or too hard. Like you just, you have to have a team around you to help you identify as a leader.” - Dwayne KerriganGuest Bio: Brad May is a former NHL forward whose 19-year career spanned more than 1,000 regular-season games across the league. He is a Stanley Cup champion, winning with the Anaheim Ducks in 2007, and remains a recognizable figure in hockey history for his 1993 overtime playoff goal against Boston, remembered by fans as the iconic “May Day” moment.Following his retirement from professional hockey in 2010, May transitioned into broadcasting, working as an NHL analyst with CBC, Rogers Sportsnet, and AT&T SportsNet, where his candid, player-first perspective made him a natural presence on air. In 2024, May entered a new chapter off the ice, joining NFP as a Client Executive, where he works with businesses and individuals on insurance and risk management.Guest Social Links: Instagram: www.instagram.com/maydayhockey LinkedIn: ca.linkedin.com/in/brad-may-24228662Connect with Dwayne Kerrigan:FacebookInstagramLinkedInWebsiteDisclaimer: The views, information, or opinions expressed by guests during The Dwayne Kerrigan Podcast are solely those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily represent those of Dwayne Kerrigan and his affiliates.

Matt Faircloth interviews Brian Burke, reflecting on the prolonged multifamily downturn and why 2025 failed to deliver the recovery many investors expected. Brian explains how elevated construction deliveries, negative rent growth, and mispriced cap rates have kept deal fundamentals from penciling, especially for assets acquired with high leverage. The conversation dives deep into the dangers of bridge debt, emphasizing that loan maturity risk, not floating interest rates, is what ultimately puts lenders in control. Brian also shares why he has shifted capital into assisted living, citing demographic tailwinds, improving fundamentals, and a supply-demand imbalance that contrasts sharply with multifamily.

After 600 episodes and nine years of interviewing Colorado’s most successful real estate investors, podcast host Chris Lopez shares the five most important Colorado real estate investing lessons he’s learned—lessons that fundamentally changed how he builds portfolios, navigates market cycles, and adapts investment strategy. Since launching July 7, 2017, Chris has interviewed hundreds of Colorado investors: deca-millionaires who built massive portfolios, investors who survived the 2008 crash and rebuilt stronger, and specialists in lending, insurance, and property management who understand market mechanics better than anyone. This milestone episode distills nearly a decade of accumulated Colorado real estate investing lessons into actionable insights for investors at any experience level. The biggest revelation? Real estate moves far slower than most investors anticipate. Chris shares why he called the 2022 market top correctly, sold multiple residential properties, and shifted capital into multifamily and private lending—but still underestimated how long market corrections take to play out. He reveals why “I’d rather be a day late than a day early” became his investing mantra and what Brian Burke’s quote about “time to sit on the beach” taught him about patience. Chris also addresses the Colorado-specific challenges reshaping local investing: property insurance costs now rank second-highest in the nation (behind only Florida), legislative headwinds continue reducing investor demand, and the growth wave from 2012-2023 has definitively ended. These trends require completely different strategies than what worked five years ago, making these Colorado real estate investing lessons more relevant than ever. In This Episode We Cover: Why consistency over 15-20 years beats trying to time perfect market entry How market cycles never repeat exactly—multifamily crashed while residential held in 2022-2025 The five-step framework for adapting strategy when both markets and personal life change Why looking at 50-year interest rate trends reveals patterns 10-year data misses How Chris’s portfolio strategy evolved from single investor to family man with three daughters What diversifying across asset classes and capital stack positions protected during volatility Why Colorado insurance and legislative trends now require different underwriting than 2019 Whether you started listening in 2017 or discovered the podcast recently, this episode offers perspective you can’t get anywhere else: the accumulated wisdom of 600 conversations with the people who’ve actually built wealth through Colorado real estate. Chris shares not just what worked, but what he got wrong and how he adapted—delivering Colorado real estate investing lessons that only come from nine years of interviews and real market experience.

Chris Lopez and Paul Shannon welcome investor and author Brian Burke to look back at 2025 and set the table for 2026. Brian recaps his “end the dive in 25” thesis, explains why his pivot to senior housing has outperformed, and shares what actually surprised him this year. The group digs into supply, sentiment, and rates, plus the difference between perfect and imperfect markets and why small multifamily and true needs-based real estate may offer the best risk-adjusted plays right now. Key Takeaways 2025 recap: senior housing led commercial performance while multifamily price declines slowed but did not fully reverse Surprise of the year: new construction deliveries in multifamily stayed elevated longer than expected, keeping pressure on rents and occupancy Portfolio moves: Brian co-invested in his senior housing fund, added selectively to individual stocks on pullbacks, explored biotech, and is eyeing Bitcoin on deeper dips 2026 watchlist: investor sentiment in multifamily, supply tapering, and the rate story split between short-term SOFR and the stubborn 10-year Strategy notes: in a higher-for-longer world, appreciation must come from income growth more than cap rate compression For LPs: prioritize needs-based real estate like senior housing, medical office, and data centers; consider contrarian but expert-led office plays and inefficient small-multifamily opportunities Disclaimer The content of this podcast is for informational purposes only.

He was right in 2000, 2008, and 2020—now he's saying it's time to buy. Brian Burke is one of the most revered minds in real estate investing. Almost nobody has done what he has—purchased over $1 billion in real estate without ever losing investor money. He played it safe, made moves 99% of investors couldn't believe (including selling 75% of his portfolio at the peak in 2022), and came out on top time and time again. Now, he's saying it's time to get back into the housing market, but for specific properties. Brian thinks now is the time to make moves and that this “stall” in pricing could last years and is a massive boon to real estate investors. Brian has historically purchased in these often-ignored lull periods, and even small deals he bought back then are now paying for his retirement and oceanfront Hawaii property. He stresses that you should buy these manageable, small, and powerful properties right now, too, so you can reach financial freedom faster like he did. What are the properties Brian says investors should be scooping up right now? We're sharing in this episode. In This Episode We Cover Why Brian believes that these “stalled” home prices could last a while The perfect rental property for small investors that will pay for your early retirement Looking for “problem” properties that have huge upside potential A repeat of the mid-1990s? Why we're following the same slow, steady trend Pay off your rentals faster! What Brian did to speed up his financial freedom timeline And So Much More!
