From chiropractor to running a billion dollar portfolio, Dan Handford joins hosts Paul Shannon and Chris Lopez to unpack how he scaled across multifamily, storage, car washes, hotels, and private debt. He shares why he invested as an LP in 80 plus deals to sharpen his GP playbook, how he allocates for durable returns, and where he is leaning today. You will hear candid lessons from floating rate pain, capital calls, investor communication, and why debt strategies and selective distress are front of mind. Key Takeaways: LP lens: transparency, steady updates, and tackling problems head on Allocation: prioritize consistency over stretch returns, diversify across operators and asset types Where he is leaning: private debt funds with liquidity and a coming Reg A option for smaller checks Risk lessons: floating rate vs fixed rate, large reserves, when a capital call protects value Outlook: bid ask spread, lender pressure, and a likely uptick in distress over the next year Disclaimer The content of this podcast is for informational purposes only.

Property Llama just achieved their sixth consecutive record-breaking month while most real estate funds face distribution pauses and capital calls. This 2025 Property Llama shareholder update shows how Chris Lopez and Richard McGirr went from survival mode to consistent growth with a debt fund tracking nearly 24% annualized returns.
How do serious LPs sharpen due diligence, avoid shiny objects, and stay liquid enough to pounce? In this PassivePockets Pulse Check kickoff, Jim Pfeifer and Paul Shannon welcome new co-host Chris Lopez to go behind the scenes on community-powered due diligence, share their written investing theses, and walk through real deals they've funded, across equity and debt, plus the wins, misses, and lessons that are guiding allocations right now. You'll hear why sponsors and deals must be vetted on separate tracks, how to post in the forums to actually get useful feedback (do the work first), and what a one-page annual plan looks like when timing is uncertain. Paul breaks down his barbell strategy, favoring newer assets with day-one cash flow, fixed-rate debt, and positive leverage, while Chris lays out “Don't bet against America,” lots of small checks for diversification, and building both an equity ladder and a debt ladder to solve liquidity timing. We also cover why Class A, Build-to-Rent, and select development fit today's supply picture, plus portfolio updates: debt funds, self-storage development, A-class multifamily, BTR in Ohio, Colorado development, and a distressed multifamily buy in Omaha. Finally, we unpack hard lessons from deals gone wrong- GP infighting, alleged commingling/investigations, and a multi-layer ATM Ponzi - and the practical guardrails we're using now (limit per sponsor, avoid overly broad operators and multi-layer structures, and lean on the community). We close with a sentiment check: more LOIs, hard earnest money returning, and early buyout interest on BTR - why we're cautiously optimistic (call it a yellow light) and still keeping cash optionality. Key Takeaways: How to use the community for real due diligence (and the posting format that gets responses) The separation between sponsor vetting and deal analysis and why both matter A simple one-page annual investing plan for capital, asset classes, and operator targets Paul's “all-weather” barbell: newer assets, day-one cash flow, fixed-rate/positive leverage Chris's “Don't bet against America,” many small checks, and building equity + debt ladders Why Class A, Build-to-Rent, and select development can shine as new supply falls off Recent allocations: debt funds, self-storage development, A-class MF, BTR Ohio, CO development, distressed MF Omaha Pain points & lessons: GP disputes, alleged commingling/FBI actions, and a multi-layer ATM Ponzi Risk controls that help: limit exposure per sponsor, start with small first checks, consider fund diversification Market pulse: more LOIs, hard money back on the table, early PE interest, why it's still a yellow light for now Disclaimer The content of this podcast is for informational purposes only.

Want passive income? We mean truly passive—no tenant phone calls, no toilets, no evictions—just checks sent to your account. This is the dream of every real estate investor, and today's guest, Chris Lopez, actually achieved it. He did what we preach on every single episode—bought single-family rentals and small multifamily buildings and ran them right—but at some point, he realized the cash flow was too low, and the headaches were too high. So he switched, finding a type of real estate that is truly passive. At one point, Chris's rental property portfolio was only making him a meager $20 per hour. Doesn't sound like financial freedom, does it? He dipped his toe into passive investing, invested a little more, then a little more. Now, he's heavily on the passive side. Chris is on today to show you how to do the same. Got a lot of equity but low cash flow? Turn that rental into bigger, better, and more passive income. Tired of dealing with tenants but still want financial freedom? You can exchange your rentals for a passive income stream. We're talking about debt funds, value-add syndications, and other passive investments that enable investors to earn more while doing less. Join Chris's 5-week cohort to learn how to transition from active landlord to passive investor (while multiplying your cash flow). In This Episode We Cover Real estate investments that make double-digit returns (without the work) The one (easy) calculation every investor must perform annually How to vet a passive investment (and the person running it) before you invest Significant economic risks to be aware of before you start passive investing Keep, refinance, or sell? How to know your rental is past its useful period And So Much More!

Your home equity could be the secret sauce to earlier retirement. With so many homeowners and rental property investors across the nation sitting on hundreds of thousands in home equity, one asks, “what if you used this trapped equity to build wealth?” And although most homeowners won't want to sell their primary residences, refinance into higher mortgage rates, or risk taking out a high-priced HELOC, rental property owners are in the perfect position to use their massive equity positions to upgrade to bigger, better investments. We brought on Chris Lopez, Denver-based investor and agent, to explain.Chris has been able to build a sizable real estate portfolio quite quickly, but even he admits to starting a little later. After working most of his career as an internet marketer turned day trader, Chris gave it all up to go head-first into real estate as an investor-friendly agent and investor. And, as a Denver investor, he's seen homes he bought just a few years ago EXPLODE in value, and many other investors feel the same. So, if you're in Austin, Boise, Raleigh, Phoenix, or any other real estate boom markets, it can seem as if you're sitting on a pile of wealth that can't be touched. But you'd be wrong.In this episode, Chris walks through how homeowners and real estate investors can unlock the “trapped” equity in their homes. He goes through when to buy, sell, or refi and how to use the BiggerPockets Rental Property Calculatorto decide the best move. Chris knows that not every property is worth selling/upgrading, but if you trade a few lackluster properties for cash-flowing ones, you could reach your retirement goals YEARS faster, with more money coming in and less stress. So, want to unlock your home's equity and speed up your path to early retirement? Stick around!In This Episode We CoverHome equity explained and how to use it to build wealth even faster When to buy, sell, or refinance and how to calculate the best option for youCap rates and using this simple metric to decide whether a rental property is worth keepingHELOCs (home equity lines of credit) and which banks will offer them on rental propertiesChris' five-step framework to reassess and upgrade your rental portfolioWhen to cash-out refinance and whether or not doing so makes sense with today's high interest rates And So Much More!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets Money Facebook GroupBiggerPockets ForumsFinance Review Guest OnboardingScott's InstagramMindy's TwitterListen to All Your Favorite BiggerPockets Podcasts in One PlaceApply to Be a Guest on The Money ShowPodcast Talent Search!Subscribe to The “On The Market” YouTube ChannelListen to The “On The Market” Podcast: Spotify, Apple Podcasts, BiggerPocketsCheck Out Mindy's 2022 Live Spending Tracker and BudgetFinance Friday: Living Paycheck-to-Paycheck with 9 Rental PropertiesChris Lopez ProfileClick here to check the full show notes: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/money-385Interested in learning more about today's sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself?

Cash flow—the two words every rookie real estate investor loves to hear. It's always about cash flow. “If the property doesn't bring in a healthy amount of pure profit every month, there's no point in buying it!” This sentiment could cost you hundreds of thousands, if not millions over the lifetime of your real estate investing career. Don't get us wrong, cash flow is important, but focusing on this metric alone may lead to your downfall.Chris Lopez hopped off the “buy only for cash flow” bandwagon long ago, and he's much richer for doing so. Chris has become successful quickly in the real estate game, which is doubly impressive if you look at his past business history. He didn't start in real estate sales, investing, or anything of that nature—he was more interested in building content for other businesses he was pursuing. After realizing that rental property investing was the way to go, Chris took a hard pivot, repurposing the same skills he used in his businesses to work in real estate.Now, he's got eight units of his own, passive investments he doesn't need to worry about, and a successful real estate brokerage situated in the real estate mecca of Denver, Colorado. He's become the foremost expert on Denver real estate not because he's done thousands of deals, but because he knows the area well enough to teach those who don't. Chris talks about business building, mentorship, and a much better calculation than cash flow in this episode.In This Episode We Cover:Building a real estate business that not only makes you active but passive incomeSEO, content marketing, and using “lead magnets” to drastically increase your deal flowThe wrong way to find a mentor and four simple steps to take to get the attention of top investorsThe world's best business card and how it turns you from a novice into an expertHow to reevaluate your real estate portfolio to ensure it's making the most money possibleAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets Youtube ChannelBiggerPockets ForumsBiggerPockets Pro MembershipBiggerPockets BookstoreBiggerPockets BootcampsBiggerPockets PodcastGet Your Ticket for BPCon 2022Listen to All Your Favorite BiggerPockets Podcasts in One PlaceLearn About Real Estate, The Housing Market, and Money Management with The BiggerPockets PodcastsGet More Deals Done with The BiggerPockets Investing ToolsFind a BiggerPockets Real Estate Meetup in Your AreaDavid's BiggerPockets ProfileDavid's InstagramRob's BiggerPockets ProfileRob's YoutubeRob's InstagramRob's TikTokRob's TwitterBiggerPockets Podcast 278BiggerPockets Podcast 558Watch Chris' “House Hackerz” Series on YouTube9 Simple Steps to Finding the Best Real Estate MentorBooks Mentioned in the Show:Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert KiyosakiBRRRR by David GreeneHow to Sell Your House for Top Dollar, Faster by Faby GonzalezGood to Great by Jim CollinsWho Not How by Dan SullivanConnect with Chris:Chris' websiteClick here to check the full show notes: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/real-estate-662Interested in learning more about today's sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself?
