One key metric could tell you immediately whether a multifamily real estate investment is worth buying—but most people ignore it. It's not cash flow, it's not cap rate, and it's probably something you've overlooked dozens of times. Joe Root helped grow his family's multifamily portfolio and manages over 100 properties using this metric. Joe left the glitz of a corporate Wall Street career when he realized his family's apartment portfolio was better than the big city life. Multifamily management quickly became his new obsession. During the Great Financial Crisis of 2008, Joe stepped in to manage (and buy) foreclosed properties that were barely staying afloat.  Through 20 years of multifamily experience, he's pinpointed the most overlooked markets in the country, how to dodge rent control and get your own city government to actively fight against it, and the #1 mistake you can make when screening tenants. He's sharing it all, plus his key multifamily metric, in this episode.  Insights from today's episode: The one screening metric Joe uses to determine if a multifamily investment is worth it What to do when one of your tenants turns your building into a rave venue  An underrated area of the country that multifamily investors shouldn't ignore  A sign that you're managing your portfolio inefficiently (and it could cost you) Why Joe's team is moving into new development for even greater returns    —   Connect with Joe on LinkedIn   East Superior Real Estate Partners   Are you a high-net-worth investor with capital to deploy in the next 12 months?

John Chang breaks down the latest economic and market signals after a week of meetings in New York City. He explains how the temporary government funding deal both alleviates short-term pressures and extends broader uncertainty—impacting GDP, consumer spending, and investor sentiment. John also unpacks capital flows, interest-rate volatility tied to upcoming Federal Reserve changes, and why debt availability is improving even as risk factors persist. He contrasts Sun Belt oversupply with strong performance in low-construction markets, and ultimately argues that today's elevated cap rates and stable debt costs may represent a rare “sweet spot” for long-term investors.

One of the best things about owning investment real estate is the tax advantages it offers. Especially self-storage. Let's discuss some of the benefits today. Given the high cost of construction and the current interest rates, a clear and well-understood tax strategy could be the difference between a go/no-go on certain deals. **Self-Storage Turnaround Playbook** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/episode-476-four-steps-i-use-to-revive-a-self-storage-facility-non-fb/ **Startup Checklist** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/episode-475-self-storage-startup-checklist-4-steps-owners-miss/ **Cap Rate, ROI & IRR Calculator** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/episode_472_cap-roi-irr-worksheet-2/ **The 4 Critical Metrics Download** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/episode-474-4-critical-metrics/ **Five Mistakes PDF* https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/episode-473-5-mistakes-new-owners-make-in-self-storage/ **Q1 2026 Virtual Self Storage Bootcamp Sign Up** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/2026-q1-live-virtual-bootcamp/ **December 6, 2025 Fast-Track Your Self-Storage Success — Free Live Webinar** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/2025-q4-webinar/ **Cap Rate, ROI & IRR Calculator** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/episode_472_cap-roi-irr-worksheet-2/ **Online Courses at The Quickstart Academy** https://TheQuickStartAcademy.com/ **Listen on Apple Podcasts** ** 5 KPIs we measure** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/top-5-kpi-ebook/ **My blog** Creating Wealth Through Self Storage **Facebook** https://www.facebook.com/markhelmselfstorage/ **Twitter** Tweets by MarkHelmSelfSt **The Storage World Analyzer** http://storageworldanalyzer.com/ **The QuickStart Academy Store** https://quick-start-academy.myshopify.com

Jamison and Lexy unpack a new survey suggesting cap rates may have peaked as Treasury yields stabilize—and explain, in plain English, what a cap rate is, why it moves inversely with values, and how rate cycles flow through underwriting. They connect the dots between the Fed's dual mandate, tariffs, and inflation risk; why a true rate-cut cycle would flip us from buyer's to seller's market; and how to think about timing with the classic “market clock” analogy. Then they dive into the numbers: apartment transactions up ~12% in Q2, pricing vs. 2015–2019, why renting is still far cheaper than buying, and why new supply is set to fall off a cliff—a setup for future rent growth. They close with Neighborhood Ventures' playbook: buy below replacement cost, prefer well-located distressed assets, and renovate (or not) where it pencils. What they cover: Cap rates 101 → cash flow ÷ value, and the inverse relationship to pricing Why stabilized Treasuries + expected rate cuts could mark the turn The Fed's inflation/employment balancing act—and what tariffs might do Q2 deal flow: multifamily transactions rising and confidence returning Rent vs. buy gap: why apartments still have room to run Supply outlook: deliveries slowing sharply → conditions for rent growth Strategy now: buy vs. build, replacement cost math, and timing the “7 o'clock” entry ⚠️ Disclaimer: This episode is for informational purposes only and is not tax, legal, or investment advice.

Every now and then, one can find an existing self-storage facility with a lot of potential upside and be able to negotiate a price that allows you to realize it. But you need to be able to see it when it is there and know what your upside can be to negotiate it correctly. You also need a plan, a step-by-step process to harvest the upside.

Why are institutions pouring billions into an asset class others are doubting?In this episode of What's In Store, Chris Ressa and Karly Iacono break down one of the most resilient yet often misunderstood corners of commercial real estate: net lease. While headlines focus on retail closures or shifting tenant dynamics, the reality is that net lease portfolios are performing at an extraordinary level, with occupancy rates consistently between 98 and 99 percent. This asset class is attracting serious institutional capital, and its structure creates predictable long-term income streams, and replacement costs and tenant “stickiness” make these properties so durable.They also tackle misconceptions—explaining why recent cap rate movements and financing challenges haven't diminished the underlying value of well-located, freestanding real estate. With creative financing and strategic positioning, today's market offers investors a rare window to buy below replacement cost while securing stable returns. Whether you're an active investor, a retail real estate professional, or simply curious about how “mailbox money” really works, this episode delivers a clear-eyed look at why net lease is a powerful and timely opportunity.What you'll hear: Why net lease portfolios are maintaining 98–99% occupancyHow long-term leases provide durability and predictable incomeThe role of replacement cost in strengthening asset valueWhy tenant “stickiness” adds security to investmentsThe growing appetite from institutional investorsHow rising cap rates and high financing costs create opportunityStrategies for investors navigating today's marketChapters00:00 Introduction to Net Lease Opportunities03:01 Understanding Occupancy Rates in Net Lease REITs05:55 The Durability of Income in Net Lease Investments08:47 Institutional Interest in Net Lease Properties12:09 Market Trends and Future Predictions for Net Lease14:59 Investment Strategies in Net Lease Real Estate

On this week's episode of The Horizon, John discusses why inflation is rising in a slow “trickle,” with food prices leading the gains, and how this feeds into rising odds of Fed rate cuts and a ~4% 10-year treasury. He explains why today's financing window—around 5% for agency multifamily—creates rare positive leverage and is already sparking activity. With construction starts falling and labor/material costs high, John outlines a favorable long-term setup: tighter future supply, elevated cap rates, and improving fundamentals. He also maps the risks (recession, weaker jobs data) and where to focus: Class A/B multifamily, necessity retail, medical office, and storage—while flagging trade-exposed West Coast industrial and some discretionary retail, and noting office as a potential “dark horse” on rising RTO pressure.

There are four basic metrics I think every self-storage owner should be tracking. I track more than these four, but these four, I think, set an owner up to win at owning self-storage. If you are not currently always tracking these to the point you know them off the top of your head, or at least get to them fast, I promise you, there is gold to mine in your facility. Let's explore them together, and there is a download if you want it. **The 4 Critical Metrics Download** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/episode-474-4-critical-metrics/ **Five Mistakes PDF* https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/episode-473-5-mistakes-new-owners-make-in-self-storage/ **Q1 2026 Virtual Self Storage Bootcamp Sign Up** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/2026-q1-live-virtual-bootcamp/ **December 6, 2025 Fast-Track Your Self-Storage Success — Free Live Webinar** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/2025-q4-webinar/ **Cap Rate, ROI & IRR Calculator** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/episode_472_cap-roi-irr-worksheet-2/ **Online Courses at The Quickstart Academy** https://TheQuickStartAcademy.com/ **Listen on Apple Podcasts** ** 5 KPIs we measure** https://creatingwealththroughselfstorage.lpages.co/top-5-kpi-ebook/ **My blog** Creating Wealth Through Self Storage **Facebook** https://www.facebook.com/markhelmselfstorage/ **Twitter** Tweets by MarkHelmSelfSt **The Storage World Analyzer** http://storageworldanalyzer.com/ **The QuickStart Academy Store** https://quick-start-academy.myshopify.com

On this episode of The Horizon, John discusses second quarter commercial real estate sales trends, with a deep dive into multifamily and retail activity. He explains why transaction velocity—rather than dollar volume—is a more reliable market indicator, especially in a period with large portfolio deals like Blackstone's Air Communities acquisition. John also breaks down cap rate trends using both average and hedonic metrics, noting that while some asset classes show downward cap rate pressure, much of it may stem from deal quality shifts. He wraps with a forward-looking view, expressing optimism for 2025 as a strong entry point for investors, citing steady interest rates, more deal flow, and favorable long-term tax policies.

On this episode of The Horizon, John discusses a potential game-changing executive order from President Trump that could allow U.S. retirement accounts like 401(k)s to invest in private market assets, including commercial real estate. He explores how this influx of capital could significantly reshape cap rates—not because of interest rates, but due to shifts in capital flows. Using historical data, John challenges the commonly held belief that cap rates track closely with interest rates, demonstrating instead that transaction volume and investor demand play a much stronger role. He concludes by urging investors to consider positioning themselves ahead of a possible capital wave that could drive property values higher.

What happens to property value when cap rates and NOI start moving in opposite directions—and how should investors prepare for that?   In this episode, Angel Williams speaks with Rich Neuharth and Moses Lucero about the realities of underwriting in multifamily investing. They break down cap rates, NOI (Net Operating Income), and the complex relationship between market forces and property performance. Rich walks through examples that clarify how small shifts in cap rates can drastically affect valuations and explains why mindset and transparency matter in underwriting. Angel challenges the assumptions with sharp questions, leading to a clear discussion of how to stress-test deals, factor in risk, and use underwriting tools responsibly.     [00:01 - 04:30] Cap Rates in Action How a $1M NOI changes value depending on cap rate shifts Why cap rate compression inflates property value—and vice versa The importance of separating property-level performance from market dynamics   [04:31 - 08:15] Mindset and Learning Through Repetition How mindset impacts willingness to ask questions and learn Why repeating and reframing concepts leads to deeper understanding The need for more open conversations about not understanding financial concepts   [08:16 - 12:30] Market Cap vs. Purchase Cap What the significance of market cap rate is during appraisals How to handle disconnects between deal-level and market expectations Why accurate comps and broker input guide realistic underwriting assumptions   [12:31 - 16:00] The Push-Pull of NOI and Cap Rate in Valuation How to analyze proportional changes in cap rate and NOI Why understanding opposing forces is key to modeling The importance of building performance scenarios and exit plans   [16:01 - 19:48] Stress Testing and Long-Term Thinking How to structure deals to withstand market fluctuations Why historical cap rate trends matter when forecasting The need to balance investor expectations with conservative assumptions       Connect with Rich:   https://www.linkedin.com/in/realmindsetrich   Connect with Moses:   https://www.linkedin.com/in/moses-lucero-9026b220b/     Key Quotes:   “The market cap only affects your sale or refinance.

Are you staring at spreadsheets without really knowing what they're telling you? In this episode, I break down the most important return metrics in multifamily real estate—from cash-on-cash and IRR to DSCR and equity multiple. I explain what they actually mean, why they matter, and how to use them to make smart investment decisions. We're not just guessing here. These numbers tell a story—and if you know how to read them, you'll stop overpaying, start protecting your capital, and finally start growing real wealth. Whether you're an LP trying to spot BS in a pitch deck or an operator building your summary page, this one is for you.

What's the real connection between mindset and underwriting, and why should both matter to passive and active investors alike? In this episode, Rich Neuharth and Moses Lucero of Aviana Capital Group explore the surprising overlap between mindset and underwriting in multifamily real estate. They talk through how relationships, trust, and mindset influence underwriting quality, and how both GPs and LPs can better evaluate deals. The conversation also covers the importance of involving family in real estate, how projections can mislead passive investors, and why conservative underwriting is a necessity, not an option. Whether you're diving into spreadsheets or just want to know how to avoid a bad deal, this episode breaks down real lessons with real numbers and real experiences.   [00:01 - 04:45] Mindset Meets the Math How Moses and Rich's friendship evolved into a business partnership Why mindset is a key factor in approaching underwriting The importance of alignment in personal relationships when pursuing real estate   [04:46 - 08:25] Underwriting: A Learnable Skill Rich's perspective on whether analytical thinking is innate or learned Moses's journey from confusion to confidence in underwriting Why loving the process matters more than being naturally inclined   [08:26 - 12:45] What Every Investor Should Understand Why all partners—active or passive—should grasp basic underwriting The importance of vetting your team, not just the deal How equity multiple and IRR are interpreted differently by different investors   [12:47 - 17:30] Getting Burned and Learning From It Angel shares a personal story of a deal gone wrong How emotional signals and missed cues affected her trust What passive investors can do to protect themselves from poor projections   [17:31 - 22:28] Cap Rates and Exit Strategy Breakdown What exit cap rate assumptions mean and why they matter How unrealistic assumptions mislead investors Why conservative underwriting is critical in a volatile market     Connect with Rich:   https://www.linkedin.com/in/realmindsetrich   Connect with Moses:   https://www.linkedin.com/in/moses-lucero-9026b220b/     Key Quotes: “If you separate family and business, you're always juggling both.

On this episode of The Horizon, John discusses the rising risk of higher interest rates and their impact on commercial real estate. He breaks down recent shifts in FedWatch predictions, explains why inflation fears are growing despite current readings, and explores how political uncertainty—especially around tariffs and the stalled federal budget—is pushing markets into volatility. John also examines cap rate trends and evaluates whether investors and sellers should act now or wait, with a strong argument for deploying capital soon if there's a path to positive leverage. He wraps up by highlighting the CRE sectors he believes are best positioned for growth, including multifamily housing, well-located retail, infill industrial, and medical office.
