Podcasts about commercial real estate

On this episode of the Deal Farm®, Kevin and Ken sit down with Brad Johnson to trace his journey from logistics consulting and casual weekend investing to building a mobile home park portfolio and ultimately closing over $3.3 billion in commercial real estate. Brad shares how spotting unusually high yields and low default rates in manufactured housing data led him to a niche most investors were completely ignoring in 2013, and how seller financing on his very first Kansas City park set the tone for how he approached deals. He breaks down the operational realities of running mobile home parks that most investors underestimate, and why boots-on-the-ground management is non-negotiable in value-add deals. If you're looking to understand how to find alpha in overlooked asset classes and scale a real estate business the right way, this episode is a masterclass.

Despite short-term volatility, institutional buying continues to drive strength across major tech earnings, while regulatory milestones like the Crypto Clarity Act set the stage for massive institutional adoption, particularly for assets like Ethereum.Beyond the stock and crypto markets, smart money is rotating back into commercial real estate as transaction volumes rebound 26 percent year-over-year. As retail investors exit struggling syndications, well-capitalized funds are deploying dry powder to acquire distressed assets, signaling a powerful wealth-building opportunity for operators ready to capitalize on market capitulation and emerging value plays.KEY TOPICS DISCUSSEDGeopolitical impacts on market volatility and oil pricesS&P 500 earnings season expectations for major tech companiesSpaceX valuation drops and the future of trillion-dollar IPOsThe Crypto Clarity Act and the push for digital asset regulationInstitutional capital flowing into Ethereum over BitcoinCommercial real estate transaction volumes rebounding 26 percentSmart money acquiring distressed retail syndication assetsThe rise of educational finance influencers in modern mediaKEY TAKEAWAYSStaying fully invested during volatile periods is critical, as missing just a few of the best trading days can severely diminish long-term portfolio returns.The Crypto Clarity Act will likely flush out thousands of useless meme coins while funneling institutional trillions into established utility networks like Ethereum.Real estate investors must transition from a buy-and-hold mindset into an operator mindset to drive income and reduce expenses in a higher-rate environment.Commercial real estate is seeing a 26 percent increase in transactional volume as frustrated retail investors capitulate and smart money steps in to buy at market value.Wealth generation requires holding equity in real assets or businesses, as it is becoming mathematically impossible to out-earn inflation by simply selling your time.CONNECT & TAKE ACTIONImagos Income Fund: Text "INCOME" or "DEALS" to 844-447-1555 to learn more about Matty A's private debt fund targeting 10% fixed returns paid out monthly.

Most people never choose a career in commercial real estate because they never realize it is an option.They do not grow up around brokers, developers, investors, or property managers. They do not know the language, the career paths, or the people who can open the first door.Daynon Kirby is working to change that.In this episode of Commercially Speaking, Daynon returns to introduce the Black Foundation, a commercial real estate-focused private foundation built around access, education, investment, and attainable housing.The organization helps minorities, veterans, students, and aspiring professionals discover the many career paths available throughout commercial real estate while creating practical pathways into the industry.Daynon also explains why the foundation is building its own investment arm rather than depending entirely on donations. Its model combines people and profits, using commercial real estate, private equity, and other investments to create a mission that can sustain and expand itself.We also get extremely practical about what someone should do when they want to enter commercial real estate but have no family connections or industry experience.In this conversation:How to break into commercial real estate with no connections• Why CRE offers far more careers than brokerage• How to identify the strongest firms in your local market• What young professionals can offer a brokerage immediately• How AI can help you research firms and create real value• Why joining a collaborative team may be better than starting alone• How to approach experienced professionals without asking to “pick their brain”• The power of CCIM education, scholarships, and relationships• How veterans can transition into commercial real estate• Why attainable housing is a central part of the Black Foundation's mission• How the foundation combines philanthropy with investments• Why a hand up can create more lasting change than a handoutThis episode is for students, veterans, career changers, young professionals, and anyone who senses that commercial real estate could change their future but has no idea where to begin.Learn more about Daynon and the Black Foundation:The Black Foundation: theblackfoundationinc.comLinkedIn: Search “The Black Foundation” and Daynon KirbyCCIM resources and education: ccim.comFind a local CCIM professional: findaccim.comThanks To Our Sponsors

Mike Brewer welcomes back Jonathan Buckelew and Topher Stephenson, co-founders of CRE AI Studio (https://creaistudio.com/), for a concrete look at where AI actually pays off in commercial real estate. Jonathan is a multifamily asset manager and AI educator who has run portfolios of ten to twenty properties for over a decade and now oversees seventy-four. Topher is an AI strategist and educator focused on helping CRE professionals automate repetitive work and build systems that produce measurable value. The theme Mike sets for the episode is simple: show me the ROI, from hours to minutes.Jonathan walks through the workflow that once defined his second week of every month. Reviewing actuals versus budget across a large portfolio, flagging any line over 5% and 5,000 dollars, and reconstructing the reason for each variance by hand from the general ledger, prior notes, and past reports. At seventy-four properties, that work stretched into weeks. Now he points a Claude skill at his AppFolio actual-versus-budget report, and in minutes it reads every property, checks the ledger, compares prior report versions, and produces a per-property PDF explaining each variance and prompting the property manager to respond. Ten to fifteen minutes later, he has a finished product he can bring straight to his weekly management call.Topher widens the lens to the document-heavy nature of commercial real estate, where so much time disappears into moving information from one document into the place it needs to live. He describes pairing AI with automation so a lease, a purchase-and-sale agreement, or a new lead gets filed, extracted, and dropped into the CRM or transaction database automatically, with a summary email flagging anything worth a second look. The payoff, in his words, is bandwidth. Smart people freed to do the higher-level thinking they were hired for.The back half tackles the buy-versus-build question every firm is wrestling with right now. Topher argues it is rarely one or the other. Custom builds win when a task is specific, and the stakes are high, and off-the-shelf platforms win on speed, team adoption, and keeping pace with a field that changes daily. Jonathan shares his own arc from vibe coding everything to learning where the line sits. Build the specific, high-stakes tool with a partner who understands security and tech stacks, and keep buying the property-management and investment-management platforms you will never replicate on a weekend.

The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act just became the most significant federal housing legislation in decades — and it became law without President Donald Trump's signature. This week on First Draft Live, Bisnow Editor-in-Chief Mark F. Bonner sits down with Sharon Wilson Géno, President of the National Multifamily Housing Council, who was literally on her way to the signing ceremony when Trump pulled out at the last minute. They dig into what almost got stripped from the bill, whether the law's headline provision has any real teeth and what NMHC is fighting for on Capitol Hill this week as implementation questions pile up at the U.S. Treasury Department.

Recruitment is one of the most important tasks facing commercial real estate principals who want to grow their business, but the challenge of getting it done may not be due to a lack of talent.  In episode 278 of Commercial Real Estate Leadership, Darren Krakowiak explains why many business owners struggle to hire quality people and how a simple but important shift in mindset can dramatically improve hiring outcomes. Rather than treating recruitment as an urgent task when a role needs to be filled, Darren argues it should be approached the same way successful agents approach prospecting: consistently, strategically, and long before a hire is needed. In this episode, we cover:

Commercial real estate may be entering one of its most important buying windows in years. In this episode of Keeping It Real Estate, Dan Brisse explains why falling commercial property prices are creating new opportunities for disciplined investors. Using recent market data, he breaks down how higher interest rates are forcing sellers to adjust their expectations—and why that's beginning to create attractive entry points for buyers. Dan discusses the gap between buyers and sellers, why today's market looks very different from 2021, and how patience, strong underwriting, and disciplined investing can position investors for long-term success. He also shares why great opportunities rarely appear when everyone feels comfortable, but instead emerge when uncertainty is still high. If you're looking to better understand today's commercial real estate market and why experienced investors are paying close attention, this episode is for you.

What does it take to go from spending 18 months chasing your first commercial real estate deal to raising more than $12 million in private capital and participating in over 40 syndications? In this episode, Trevor Thompson shares the lessons behind his seven-and-a-half-year journey from passive investor to active sponsor and Vice President of Investor Engagement at Massive Capital. Trevor reveals how he raised $380,000 in just five days on his first capital raise, why commercial real estate is a team sport, and how focusing on his strengths in relationships and investor engagement helped accelerate his growth. He also discusses losing $75,000 on his first GP deal, the importance of choosing the right sponsors and partners, why investors must know, like, and trust you before they invest, and the critical shift from raising capital to attracting capital. Whether you're working toward your first deal or looking to grow your investor network, this episode delivers practical lessons on relationships, resilience, credibility, and building lasting success in commercial real estate.5 Key Takeaways1. Commercial Real Estate Is a Team Sport Trevor explains why investors and entrepreneurs don't need to master every aspect of commercial real estate themselves. Identifying your strengths, finding experienced partners, and becoming part of the right community can help you move forward without trying to do everything alone.2. Focus on Attracting Capital, Not Chasing It One of Trevor's biggest mindset shifts was moving from “raising capital” to “attracting capital.” He explains why desperation can push investors away and why consistently educating, helping, and building relationships creates stronger opportunities over time.3. Investors Must Know, Like, and Trust You First Trevor shares examples of investors who took anywhere from 10 minutes to three years before investing. His experiences demonstrate why every investor requires a different approach and why long-term relationships, education, referrals, and consistent follow-up matter.4. Failure Can Become Valuable Experience After losing $75,000 on his first GP deal and later walking away from another deal after losing $68,000, Trevor explains how setbacks can provide critical lessons, strengthen credibility, and help investors and operators make better decisions in the future.5. Take Action, But Choose Your Partners Carefully Trevor encourages investors to say yes to opportunities, keep learning, and continue moving forward—but not out of desperation. He emphasizes the importance of understanding who you're doing business with, evaluating sponsors carefully, and surrounding yourself with experienced people before committing to a deal.About Tim MaiTim Mai is a real estate investor, fund manager, mentor, and founder of HERO Mastermind for REI coaches.He has helped many real estate investors and coaches become millionaires.

AI in commercial real estate isn't about robots replacing brokers, it's about clearing the administrative grind so humans can do the relationship-driven work only they can do.Choon Lee, CEO of Abstra and Abstra Point, joins Karly Iacono to break down 15 years of building AI for lease abstraction and site tracking, why CRE has lagged the AI adoption curve, and his three-part framework for where AI actually delivers value today.

Most investors think market crashes are what destroy wealth. They're wrong. The fastest way to lose money in real estate is much simpler: • Underestimating your expenses. • Overestimating your rental income. • Buying without a clear exit strategy. In today's market, disciplined underwriting matters more than ever. Rising insurance costs, increasing property taxes, higher interest rates, and slowing rent growth have changed the rules of investing. If you're still using yesterday's assumptions, you could be setting yourself up for costly mistakes. In this episode, Gino Barbaro explains the three numbers every real estate investor should analyze before purchasing any investment property: ✅ Know your true operating expenses. ✅ Be realistic about income and occupancy. ✅ Always have a defined exit strategy. Whether you're investing in multifamily apartments, commercial real estate, or your first rental property, these principles can help you avoid expensive mistakes and build long-term wealth. If you're serious about becoming a better investor, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

If you're exploring accessible ways to invest in commercial real estate, this week's session breaks down one of the most overlooked options: Mobile Home Parks and RV Parks.We compare both models, explain how their operations differ, and help you decide which aligns with your goals.

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!

Where is commercial real estate headed in 2026? Is the market crashing, recovering, or simply resetting? In this episode, Gino Barbaro breaks down the latest multifamily market data and explains why the answer depends entirely on where you're investing. Using current market trends, rent growth statistics, supply and demand dynamics, construction data, and transaction volume, Gino explains what investors should be paying attention to right now. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why national rent growth remains historically weak • Which markets are outperforming due to low supply • Why high-supply markets continue to struggle • What falling construction starts mean for future investors • Why transaction volume remains muted • The importance of understanding market cycles • How to analyze occupancy and concessions • Why "no deal is better than a bad deal" Some of the markets discussed include: ✔ New York ✔ Chicago ✔ Detroit ✔ Kansas City ✔ Phoenix ✔ Denver ✔ Austin ✔ Orlando ✔ Dallas ✔ East Tennessee One of the biggest mistakes investors make is assuming every market behaves the same way. As Gino explains, understanding your market's supply, demand, occupancy, concessions, and development pipeline can mean the difference between buying a great deal and buying a disaster. Key takeaways from this episode:

In this training, you'll discover a step‑by‑step framework for using mid‑term rentals to raise a property's income and value— without adding a single new unit. This model is designed to help you:▪️Increase monthly revenue▪️Lift NOI and force appreciation▪️Identify when mid‑term rentals outperform long‑term leases▪️Convert only the units that make strategic sense▪️Read market demand so you know when not to convertThis is a clear, numbers‑driven strategy session for multifamily owners who want to engineer value, not wait for the market to do it.

Commercial real estate prices are finally adjusting—and for disciplined investors, that could create one of the best buying opportunities we've seen in years. In this episode of Keeping It Real Estate, Dan Brisse breaks down why higher interest rates are forcing commercial property values to reset and how the gap between buyers and sellers is finally beginning to close. He explains why today's market is fundamentally different from the peak of 2021 and why patient investors are starting to see opportunities that simply didn't exist a few years ago. Dan also discusses the importance of buying based on market fundamentals—not emotions—and why strong cash flow, conservative underwriting, and disciplined investing matter more than ever. He shares how Granite Towers is approaching today's market and why some of the best investment opportunities often emerge before confidence returns. If you want to understand what today's commercial real estate market is signaling—and why experienced investors are paying close attention—this episode breaks it all down.

Does the Federal Reserve holding interest rates steady actually change the outlook for your investments? In this solo episode, Amy Sylvis breaks down one of the biggest questions investors are asking after the Federal Reserve's latest decision to hold interest rates steady. While headlines often focus on whether the Fed raises or cuts rates, Amy explains why those decisions don't always have the impact people expect—especially in commercial real estate. She walks through the relationship between the Federal Funds Rate, the 10-year Treasury, and commercial real estate financing, explaining why successful investing is less about predicting interest rates and more about controlling the variables that actually matter. From conservative underwriting and fixed-rate debt to purchasing at the right price and maintaining healthy reserves, Amy shares the principles she uses to evaluate opportunities regardless of the economic environment. If you've ever wondered whether today's interest rates should keep you from investing, this episode offers a practical framework for thinking beyond the headlines.

Have questions? Send me a text hereAlmost any transaction that takes place will require some amount of due diligence, aka detective work. If you don't believe me, next time you catch yourself reading the ingredient list on a bag of chips or a can of soup think back to that statement I just made and you will understand what I mean. And yet there are people out there who will exercise less due diligence when buying real estate, or a business, or a piece of equipment for their business than they do when buying food.  It sounds like a boring topic but simple acts of due diligence can save you hundreds of thousands of dollars when it comes to investing in real estate or buying a business.  It can mean the difference between incredible success and total failure.I would love to hear from you.

Affinius Capital closed a $3.4B take-private of Veris Residential last month, one of the largest multifamily transactions in years.The deal  represents a change in thesis for Affinius and perhaps for the industry, Affinius partner Ryan Krauch said on this week's episode of First Draft Live.In the cycle of zero interest rates and constant rate compression, multifamily investment had moved away from “what it is supposed to be,” he said.“[Housing] is not meant to be tactical, opportunistic, high-yielding plays,” Krauch said. “Multifamily, from its origins, has really been more about income producing, downside protection, diversified income, inflation hedge, all the traditional things. So for us, when we looked at Veris, this was a great opportunity to really reset that framework.”

A demanding W‑2 job on one side. Passive revenue and control of your time on the other. This week's training shows how ordinary working people make that switch through commercial real estate — starting with the resources they already have and the mindset that makes the transition possible.You'll learn:▪️How to begin with what you already have (HELOC, retirement, home equity)▪️Why waiting until you “feel ready” quietly costs years▪️The three mindset shifts that separate investors from lifelong employees▪️How to protect what you've built while creating new passive income▪️Why age, background, and experience matter far less than you thinkStudent Spotlight:You'll also hear from Dave, a former truck driver who worked sixty‑plus hour weeks before making the switch in his mid‑fifties. He used a HELOC to fund his start, built a multifamily portfolio, and reclaimed his time. His story proves that regular working people — with families, responsibilities, and no Wall Street background — can make this transition with the right guidance.

Hessam Nadji, President and CEO of Marcus & Millichap, joins Brandon Sedloff to share his remarkable journey from immigrating to the United States from Iran to leading one of the largest commercial real estate brokerage firms in the country. Hessam reflects on the formative experiences that shaped his career, how an entry-level data entry role at Grubb & Ellis sparked a lifelong passion for research and analytics, and why he believed early on that commercial real estate would evolve from a relationship-driven business into a consultative, data-informed profession. The conversation explores Marcus & Millichap's growth, the firm's enduring focus on serving private clients, and how technology, AI, and changing market dynamics are reshaping the future of commercial real estate. They discuss: • Hessam's immigration story, family entrepreneurship roots, and unconventional path into commercial real estate • How research, analytics, and consultative selling transformed brokerage and created new opportunities for advisors • The evolution of Marcus & Millichap's private client and institutional businesses, including the creation of Institutional Property Advisors (IPA) • How AI is changing brokerage, data analysis, client service, and the future role of commercial real estate professionals • Why current market uncertainty may be creating attractive opportunities across commercial real estate asset classes • The long-term outlook for supply, capital allocation, and wealth creation through commercial real estate investing Topics: (00:00:00) - Intro (00:02:19) - Hessam's background and career (00:22:01) - The journey to becoming CEO of Marcus & Millichap (00:36:38) - The state of the firm in 2026 (00:47:05) - The structural changes happening in the market (00:52:28) - Shallow buyer supply (00:54:18) - Most misunderstood concepts about CRE as an asset class Links: Hessam on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/hessam-nadji/ Marcus & Millichap - https://www.marcusmillichap.com/ Juniper Square - ⁠https://www.junipersquare.com/⁠ Brandon on LinkedIn - ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandonsedloff/⁠

Looking to escape the 9-to-5 grind and build true wealth? In this episode of the Jake & Gino Podcast, we sit down with Jens Nielsen, who immigrated from Denmark in 1996 and successfully transitioned from a 25+ year IT career to full-time real estate investing and high-performance coaching. Today, Jens is a direct owner or General Partner in over 2,000+ apartment units and 100,000+ square feet of industrial assets valued at over $250M. Discover how Jens started with a single $117,000 fourplex in Albuquerque, ran out of his own money, and used creative financing, joint ventures, and syndication to scale a massive commercial real estate portfolio. He also breaks down his recent pivot into industrial real estate, explaining the massive benefits of Triple Net (NNN) leases and small-bay flex spaces. As a Certified High Performance Coach, Jens also dives deep into the 5 pillars of success (Clarity, Energy, Courage, Productivity, and Influence) and shares how a near-fatal mountain bike crash completely shifted his perspective on taking immediate action in life. If you want to decouple your time from your income, master your entrepreneurial mindset, and learn how to navigate today's shifting real estate market, this episode is a must-watch!
