Now he buys only boring, stabilized commercial real estate.Stewart Heath is a CPA with more than 35 years of experience and a returning RealDealChat guest. Before 2008 he owned about 200 units across Nashville and Franklin, Tennessee, and he let his lenders' approval stand in for his own underwriting.

Discover how multifamily investors reduce their tax burden using three powerful moves the IRS fully allows. In this training, Peter breaks down the tax principles behind real estate ownership — including why income follows assets, why W‑2 earners pay the highest tax rates, and how multifamily properties unlock deductions a paycheck can never provide.You'll learn:How depreciation creates “paper losses” that reduce taxable incomeHow accelerated depreciation (cost segregation) increases deductionsHow 100% bonus depreciation can create massive first‑year tax savingsHow rental properties legally offset income, capital gains, and future taxesWhy owning assets — not earning more W‑2 income — is the path to keeping more of what you earnThis session simplifies complex tax concepts into clear, beginner‑friendly examples so you can understand exactly how multifamily investors pay less and build wealth faster.Student Spotlight: Chris spent 20+ years in a traditional W‑2 career before realizing it wasn't enough to secure his future. He purchased three off‑market six‑unit multifamily properties, all funded through his retirement accounts — and used cost segregation studies to erase his tax liability. Today, Chris is a full‑time multifamily investor whose tax savings, cash flow, and appreciation have completely transformed his financial life. His story shows how even small multifamily deals can unlock powerful tax advantages.Tuesdays with Peter LIVE!

Commercial real estate has moved from downturn to recovery, but the gains are uneven. Rich Hill of Principal Asset Management joins Michael Bull, CCIM to map where the opportunities are. Rich Hill is Senior Managing Director and Global Head of Real Estate Research and Strategy at Principal Asset Management, which manages roughly $110 billion of commercial real estate globally. He explains why US total returns have risen for about 8 consecutive quarters, why real estate cycles average around 16 years, and why net operating income growth will drive returns in a cycle with little room left for cap rate compression. Beneath muted headline returns, the top quartile of properties is performing well while the bottom quartile has failed to launch. Rich walks through the US housing mismatch and a selective view on Class A apartments, build-to-rent under the ROAD to Housing Act, senior housing demand from the growing 70+ population, and why power centers and unanchored retail look attractive. On office, 90% of vacancy sits in 30% of buildings and 40% of buildings have no vacancy at all. With the 10-year Treasury above 5%, Rich and Michael discuss why properties trading below replacement cost are holding back new supply, and why commercial real estate worked for decades with Treasury rates at 4% to 5%.

Only 29% of S&P 500 companies could put a number on what AI actually did for their business this earnings season, and most of those numbers were about cutting costs, not making more money. Bisnow's own reporting found 92% of CRE firms are running AI pilots right now, but just 5% say they've hit most of their goals.Reeves Davis, President of Technology Solutions at JLL, thinks the industry is asking the wrong question. At Dreamforce, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei argued that the real value ahead isn't new AI capability — it's getting the tools that already exist into wider use.Davis sees that playing out inside the brokerage business, too: as AI makes it cheap for clients to build their own tools, JLL is betting its edge is still the expertise and data behind those tools, not the tools themselves. His answer comes down to one idea: someone still has to be held personally accountable when the outcome doesn't hold up, no matter who built the tool.Davis joins First Draft Live this week to talk through where client self-service actually threatens the brokerage model, where it doesn't, and what JLL is willing to bet the difference is worth.

In this week's episode of WSJ's Take On the Week, co-hosts Telis Demos and Miriam Gottfried break down the conversation around AI safety and development, and how markets have reacted. Plus, OpenAI is now expected to have its initial public offering next year instead of this year. Will Anthropic follow suit? They also analyze the Federal Reserve's recent unanimous decision to hike interest rates, the mechanical impact of 10-year Treasury yields crossing 5%, and how these macroeconomic shifts are reshaping the bond market. Next, Jefferies equity analyst Jon Petersen joins the show to explain how rising interest rates and limited supply are impacting real estate investment trusts (REITs). They also discuss the impact of AI on the sector. Are companies like Digital Realty and Equinix poised to fare well in the data center buildout?

Matt Aitchison spent years flipping and wholesaling hundreds of houses, building the kind of active income most residential investors chase. But it wasn't until he made a deliberate breakthrough into commercial real estate that his portfolio, and his life, changed at an entirely different scale. Matt is the founder of Imagos Capital and Imagos Group, where he now owns and operates a diverse commercial portfolio spanning retail shopping centers, medical office plazas, mobile home parks, and boutique hotels. He's also the host of the Millionaire Mindcast, a top-rated investing podcast, and has spent over a decade coaching entrepreneurs and investors on how to scale. In this episode, Matt breaks down exactly what changed when he made the leap from residential to commercial, why the skills that make you successful flipping houses don't automatically translate to commercial deals, and what it actually took to build the systems, relationships, and capital structure to compete at a bigger level. We get into how he evaluates commercial assets across completely different property types, why diversifying into hospitality added a new dimension to his portfolio, and the mindset shifts that had to happen before the numbers ever could. We also get into something bigger than the deals: what it actually means to build a life and a business you love, not just one that looks successful from the outside. Matt shares his own reflections on pursuing happiness alongside ambition, and why staying connected to purpose has mattered just as much to him as scaling the portfolio. If you've hit a ceiling in residential real estate and wondered what it would take to break through to the next level, this conversation is the roadmap. In this episode:Matt's transition from flipping hundreds of houses to commercial real estateWhat actually changed once he broke into shopping centers, medical plazas, and hotelsHow to evaluate and scale across multiple commercial asset classesBuilding the systems and capital relationships commercial deals requireWhy he expanded into boutique hospitality as part of his portfolioA candid conversation on pursuing happiness, purpose, and loving what you do Download our new AI Rental Property Calculator Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCESGet business funding - Revenued.com/juice

The Color of Money | Transformative Conversations for Wealth Building
Commercial real estate can feel like a game reserved for people with deep pockets, decades of experience, and the right connections. In this episode, we sit down with Rafik Moore to break down why that belief keeps too many of us on the sidelines.We explore how to recognize a real commercial opportunity, why problem properties can become profitable deals, and how relationships can matter more than having our own capital. Rafik also walks us through a real-world deal where a newer investor brought hustle and local knowledge while an experienced partner supplied capital and expertise.We also examine ownership as a tool for strengthening communities. When neighborhoods improve, the people who live there should have the opportunity to participate in the wealth being created.The message is simple: learn the game, find solvable problems, bring value to the right relationships, and start playing.We Talk About:[00:00] Breaking Into Commercial Real Estate[05:33] Turning Barriers Into Opportunity[8:05] Your First Move in Commercial Real Estate[11:27] What Makes a Deal Worth Doing[14:08] Train Your Deal Brain[21:35] Relationships Are the Real Currency[26:47] Building Wealth and Stronger Communities[48:07] The One Thing to Take With YouResources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyLearn more about Value Add NetworkFind Rafik Moore on InstagramRafik Moore on YouTubeBecome a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayBo MenkitiInstagram: @bomenkitiFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

In this episode of Coffee & Cap Rates, Shimon Shkury, President and Founder of Ariel Property Advisors, speaks with Sean R. Kelly, Partner at Ariel Property Advisors, about Brooklyn's commercial real estate market in the first half of 2026.The conversation covers the borough's strong development activity, rising land values, the impact of zoning and tax incentives, and growing distress in the rent-stabilized multifamily market.Key topics include:Development: Transaction volume reached approximately $1 billion, up 60% year over year, driven in part by zoning changes and the 485X tax abatement. Rent-Stabilized Multifamily: Rising operating costs, regulatory pressures, and 0% rent increases are prompting more long-term and generational owners to consider selling. Market Outlook: Sean and Shimon discuss continued activity across development, free-market multifamily, and rent-stabilized assets during the second half of 2026. More information is available in Ariel Property Advisors' Brooklyn 2026 Mid-Year Commercial Real Estate Trends report.
Derek Evans managed a $6 billion REIT lending portfolio at Wells Fargo and structured a $3.5 billion bridge loan before joining Realberry as CFO. Now he’s helping guide the Realberry investment strategy through a move from $300 million to over $1 billion in annual deals. Chris Lopez sits down with Derek in studio to unpack how one of Colorado’s most established real estate firms actually decides what to build, what to buy, and what to walk away from. Derek spent 22 years at Wells Fargo before Chad McWhinney recruited him during COVID. His job now is to institutionalize the firm behind Union Station, Dairy Block, and Centerra without losing what made it work in the first place. The Realberry investment strategy is built on conservative leverage and a layered capital stack. Each investor tier fits a different kind of deal, and the firm is opening up a new digital channel to reach accredited investors for the first time. Derek walks through how those pieces fit together. From there, the conversation turns to the investment committee that decides what moves forward. Eight members, one meeting a week, and a voting rule that has ended more Denver metro deals than most investors would guess. Water rights, business climate, and market fundamentals across Colorado, Austin, and Phoenix all shape what gets a green light. Derek closes with where he sees capital moving next: luxury hospitality driven by K-shaped wealth trends, mixed-use in Loveland and Baseline, the firm’s first 55+ for-rent community, and a downtown Denver thesis that still hinges on getting employees back in office seats. In This Episode We Cover: Why Realberry targets 60 to 65% leverage and puts in 5 to 10% GP capital How ultra-high net worth, family office, and institutional capital each fit different deals The two no vote rule that kills any deal at investment committee Why the firm is actively bidding on multifamily in Colorado, Austin, and Phoenix What Derek looks for in luxury hospitality and 55+ for-rent product Why water rights have killed multiple Denver metro deals in the last five years The Realberry investment strategy behind downtown Denver, office-to-resi, and hotel conversions This episode wraps our three-part Realberry series. If you missed the earlier conversations with Chad McWhinney and Taylor Hazlett, go back and start there for the full picture of how the firm thinks about capital, deals, and Colorado.

Japanese investors now own about 6% of the US home-construction market, according to the Wall Street Journal,, and Japan-linked investors have purchased at least $2.1B worth of NYC real estate since 2024. What's clear is that amidst geopolitical volatility and shifting global economic dynamics, cross-border capital flows are changing. Cross-border real estate investment into the United States from Europe and Canada is slowing, while Asian capital activity—particularly from Japan—is increasing. So what does that mean for other investors in US commercial real estate? In this episode of the AFIRE Podcast, host Gunnar Branson checks in with two experts on Asian capital from Cushman & Wakefield: Gordon Marsden, the firm's head of global capital, APAC & EMEA, and Marc Royer, the firm's managing director, global capital advisory. Together, they explore the key drivers behind Asian capital deployment in US property markets. They discuss some of the attributes that differentiate Japanese investment strategies relative to those of other countries. And they describe how Japanese investors navigate currency volatility and structural changes, as well as the evolving sophistication of Asia-Pacific institutional investors.

Commercial real estate has repriced, but the opportunity isn't the same across every property type or market. What should investors weigh before adding it to a long-term portfolio? In this episode, Robert Curtiss speaks with Andrew Garten, Alternative Investment Specialist at PGIM, about the case for private commercial real estate after the 2022 to 2024 market reset. They cover where PGIM sees demand across housing, senior living, medical offices, logistics, and necessity-based retail. Andrew explains how core real estate may combine income, growth, tax deferral, and lower correlation with stocks and bonds. They also address liquidity, allocation ranges, manager selection, and why local supply and demand can shape results. Andrew discusses: Why the 2022 to 2024 market reset may have improved pricing across selected commercial real estate sectors How senior housing, student housing, medical offices, and logistics reflect essential demand and limited supply How core real estate may combine income and growth while behaving differently from public stocks and bonds Why depreciation may defer part of private REIT income and affect an investor's cost basis over time How liquidity needs, retirement timing, and portfolio goals can influence an appropriate real estate allocation And more!

Have questions? Send me a text hereWelcome to my 150th episode! Thanks to all my listeners wherever you happen to be. I'm looking forward to what the future brings us! Today's topic is a little different but a very important and growing occurrence- Bad Instructions!Have you tried setting up a new account on a new platform or website lately? Have you noticed the instructions were mostly useless? There seems to be a growing backlash against AI and at the same time a growing dependency and utilization of AI. We've gotten ourselves into a bit of a pickle. Here's what is happening. We use AI more and more every day and we complain about it more and more every day. So what's the problem and how does it affect our business and our financial momentum? It's not the AI technology itself that's a problem. It's the results that we allow it to produce and the results that we accept apparently without any oversight. Useless instructions are a prime example of a direct or indirect result of using, or maybe overusing AI. I would love to hear from you.

Higher interest rates have made financing more expensive, but Steffany Boldrini believes the discount available on commercial real estate can more than make up for it. With cap rates rising and properties taking longer to sell, she says buyers finally have more time to look at deals. Steffany focuses mainly on self storage. She has completed storage syndications as well as a condo conversion and an industrial deal with partners. Her long term preference is simple: buy and hold. She believes flipping can still have a place when it creates cash to fund more properties. Her current goal is to acquire about four self storage facilities each year, holding two and flipping two. She also talks about the difficult period self storage went through after 2022. Steffany says people across her storage mastermind felt the downturn, and some operators left the business. Her own deals remained intact, and she says rents have slowly started improving. When looking for value, Steffany pays attention to facilities that may be missing basic revenue and operating tools. Some properties have no website or tenant insurance. Others may have management costs that can be reduced. Extra land can also create an expansion opportunity. Key Topics and Takeaways Why Steffany believes higher cap rates are creating buying opportunities Why she prefers self storage in Sun Belt markets Why buy and hold remains her main strategy How selected flips can help fund future acquisitions Ways underperforming facilities can increase revenue or lower costs Why she has become cautious about syndications Her typical focus on facilities around 20,000 to 50,000 square feet Guest Information Steffany Boldrini is a real estate investor focused mainly on self storage. She is interested in connecting with people in the self storage industry and potentially passive investors who like storage. Email: steff@montecarlorei.com Steffany explained that the Monte Carlo name comes from the Monte Carlo Ranch in Brazil, where she grew up. She chose the name in honor of her family and her mother, who raised the family largely on her own. Call to Action To connect with Steffany about self storage, email: steff@montecarlorei.com
What if commercial real estate is already in a period of serious distress, but most investors cannot see the full extent of it yet? When a market turns, people expect the evidence to be obvious. They expect public defaults, collapsing prices, and clear signs that the cycle has changed. But this downturn is unfolding differently. Distressed assets are changing hands privately, lenders and institutional owners are limiting what becomes public, and significant capital remains on the sidelines because investors still do not know how to price rates, risk, and future values with confidence. In this episode, I sit down with John Azar to examine what is actually happening inside the commercial real estate market, why this cycle is not simply another version of 2008, how hidden distress is creating opportunities for investors who preserved capital, and why the operators who showed discipline during the euphoric years may be the ones best prepared to act now. What You'll Discover In This Episode Why commercial real estate can be in distress before the broader market acknowledges it How private sales and nondisclosure agreements can conceal the real level of pain Why this cycle looks fundamentally different from the 2008 financial crisis How the excesses of 2021 through 2023 created many of today's distressed assets Why the behavior of an operator during the last cycle matters when evaluating them today How patience and preserved liquidity can become an advantage in a repricing market Why uncertainty around rates and values is freezing capital despite abundant liquidity What investors should examine before allocating money to a distressed real estate opportunity About the Guest John Azar is an entrepreneur, adventurer, executive coach, and the Founder and Managing Partner of Peak 15 Capital.

Is IRR really the gold standard for evaluating a real estate investment? John McNellis, veteran real estate developer, investor, author, and educator, has a very different take. In this episode from the Jake & Gino Podcast, John challenges the way investors use Internal Rate of Return (IRR) to evaluate real estate deals. His argument? IRR relies heavily on assumptions about future cash flows, exit values, and—most importantly—what the property's cap rate will be years down the road. As John points out, predicting a property's cap rate ten years from now can feel a lot like predicting the weather ten years from now: you simply don't know what will happen. The conversation dives into: • Why IRR can be misleading in real estate • How future exit assumptions affect projected returns • The relationship between IRR and cap rates • Why investors should question optimistic projections • The difference between theoretical returns and actual cash flow • How experienced real estate investors evaluate deals John also shares decades of experience in commercial real estate and explains why he believes investors need to be careful about relying too heavily on numbers that depend on assumptions about the future. What do you think—Is IRR a useful investment metric, or is it too easy to manipulate?
