Aaron invites Rich Balot to share his remarkable entrepreneurial journey—from starting a DJ business as a teenager with a $3,000 title loan to building a nationwide wireless retail empire, navigating a $13 million loss, rebuilding through mentorship and leadership, and eventually buying his company back for more than $1 billion.

This week's live session breaks down our government‑backed real estate playbook — the programs that lower down payments, guarantee rents, and make commercial deals possible for beginners.

Most residential investors assume commercial real estate is a huge leap — one that requires more money, more experience, or more sophistication than they have. In this training, we show why that barrier is mostly mental, and how the skills you already use in residential rentals transfer directly into commercial investing when you have the right mentorship beside you.You'll learn:The real differences between residential and commercialWhy the leap is far smaller than it appearsHow commercial deals are evaluated and structuredThe mindset shift that helps beginners move past fearWhy mentorship accelerates the transition into commercial real estateStudent Spotlight: You'll also hear from Bruce, who began as a residential investor with the same doubts most beginners have. Before he became a coach, he was a student himself — learning the principles, leaning on mentorship, and discovering that the biggest barrier was the one in his own mind. Today he helps beginners make the same transition he once feared, proving that regular people can cross into commercial real estate with the right support.Tuesdays with Peter LIVE!

No matter how much you underwrite, budget, plan, and strategize, nothing ever goes exactly to plan. On our biggest mobile home park investment yet (700+ lots), we thought we had accounted for every obstacle that could have been thrown our way—boy, were we wrong. But with the right team, tactics, and pivots, we turned what many would have given up on into a property with close to $3M in annual NOI—and even more room to grow. Welcome back to another case study episode, where I'm sharing real deals we've taken down at Sunrise Capital Investors, giving you an under-the-hood look at what went wrong, what went right, the real returns, and the money we spent.  This time, we're in Fort Wayne, Indiana, taking a look at Ridgebrook Hills mobile home park, a community of over 700 lots, hundreds of residents, and huge infrastructure. What was supposed to be a homerun from the start turned into a steady stream of challenges for multiple years, but ended up being a rock-solid property we're proud to own with huge upside.  I'm sharing all the challenges, budgets, and real return numbers in this episode so you can dodge some of the headwinds we hit along the journey.  Insights from today's episode: How we landed a massive mobile home park by being disciplined when others were on buying sprees The real NOI numbers from this hugely improved mobile home park investment  The upside and value-add potential you can unlock with mismanaged mobile home parks  The staffing disaster that almost brought this deal to a halt (on day three!) An expense many investors overlook (we did!) that can cost you six-figures per year  The one thing that saved this deal (every investor or investment team needs this) — Full Ridgebrook Hills MHP Case Study  Real Deals: A $10M Win by Taking on This “Complex” Parking Garage Deal | Ep. 985 Recommended Resources: Accredited Investors, you're invited to Join the Cash Flow Investor Club to learn how you can partner with Kevin Bupp on current and upcoming opportunities to create passive cash flow and build wealth.

In this powerful episode of Success Formula, host Shawn sits down with EJ, a franchise childcare entrepreneur who has built a multi-million dollar empire by doing one thing differently than his competitors: staying obsessively hands-on. Starting with zero experience in 2018, EJ purchased his first school for $6.45M using SBA financing and a strategic real estate play that most business owners completely miss. Today, he operates multiple locations generating hundreds of thousands in annual revenue while simultaneously benefiting from property appreciation.But here's what separates EJ from average operators: he's not chasing passive income. Instead, he's invested heavily in top-tier talent, created systems that scale, and maintained the kind of customer service and transparency that turns struggling schools into thriving institutions. In this conversation, we break down the financial mechanics of SBA loans, the dual-profit model of owning both the business and the real estate, why paying premium salaries for exceptional staff actually maximizes profit, and how state regulations impact your bottom line.We explore EJ's operational playbook for scaling from one location to multiple schools, including how to fill new facilities with families, what to look for when acquiring existing schools, and why the best operators are never truly passive. You'll discover the teacher-to-student ratios that matter, insurance considerations that have tripled in recent years, pricing strategies that work in competitive markets, and the real estate appreciation play happening underneath your business operations.Beyond childcare, EJ also opens up about his latest ventures: a luxury short-term rental property on four and a half acres in Galveston that sleeps 48 people comfortably, and an upcoming hotel acquisition outside of Round Top, Texas. Whether you're interested in the childcare industry, franchise models, commercial real estate investing, or just understanding how elite operators think, this episode delivers actionable intelligence you can apply immediately.If you're an aspiring entrepreneur, business owner looking to scale, or investor exploring franchise opportunities, hit that subscribe button and ring the bell for more deep-dive conversations on Success Formula.

Landlord insurance has slowly become a major cost for many operators. After 2020, insurance prices began to rise rapidly, and making a claim became even harder when disaster struck. For many operators, it feels like throwing tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars, into the furnace every year, for a benefit you'll rarely use. And who stands to profit from it? Insurance companies. But an overlooked insurance structure is becoming increasingly common among operators, saving them 20% on their premium costs and sometimes even making them a profit on insuring their properties.  Nicolas Lares, CEO of Insur3Tech, worked as an insurance agent for years before ever hearing of "captive insurance” or “risk pooling.” When the small businesses he was tasked with insuring were being priced out so badly they could barely operate, he began building alternative structures, all federally backstopped, but without the middlemen.  Now, Nicolas's clients are profiting from their insurance investment, getting premiums on average 20% lower, and getting claims paid out in a matter of days, not weeks.  How would your NOI improve if one of your greatest costs became a profit driver? Insights from today's episode: The “risk pooling” insurance model that drops your insurance cost significantly  How to get paid to pay your premium (the insurance company actually pays Nicolas's clients) Who can (and should) opt for "captive insurance” instead of the traditional route   The real reason why your landlord insurance premium is so high (it's making insurance companies billions) How do these alternative providers make money without baking in a profit margin?  — Connect with Nicolas on LinkedIn Insur3Tech Recommended Resources: Accredited Investors, you're invited to Join the Cash Flow Investor Club to learn how you can partner with Kevin Bupp on current and upcoming opportunities to create passive cash flow and build wealth.

What do the 2000 dot-com crash, the 2008 Great Financial Crisis, and the 2022 interest rate shock have in common? They wiped many multifamily operators out. Dwight Dunton survived all three. As founder and CEO of Bonaventure, Dwight and his team are responsible for $2.8 billion in assets under management (AUM). But Dwight didn't start a fund, raise capital, and figure it out as he went. He learned to grow and protect his own money first. At just 25 years old, while his peers chased flashy internet stocks, Dwight acquired a 378-unit apartment community. He was stepping into a struggling asset that demanded sizable improvements and millions in repairs, but this experience provided a crash course in operations, value-add investing, and asset management. Dwight says to become an old, rich investor, you've got to 1. get old and 2. not get wiped out along the way. So, he focuses on “asymmetric” investing opportunities that have capped downside but plenty of upside for good operators. Then, he further de-risks these assets by insourcing the things most operators would outsource.   In today's conversation, we discuss all of this—the power of vertical integration, protecting assets and capital through downturns, and why long-term, buy-and-hold investing remains the surest path to generational wealth. Insights from today's episode: - How Dwight protects his assets and capital with “anti-wipeout” investing - The keys to building a business that can survive any “Black Swan” event - Acquiring and managing a 378-unit apartment community at 25 years old - How to dramatically improve revenue with vertical integration - Why supply constraint, not job growth, is the surprising main driver of multifamily success — Connect with Dwight on LinkedIn   Bonaventure   Internet Subway   Vest Residential Recommended Resources: - Accredited Investors, you're invited to Join the Cash Flow Investor Club to learn how you can partner with Kevin Bupp on current and upcoming opportunities to create passive cash flow and build wealth.

When new technology emerges, the biggest winners aren't the headline watchers or the reluctant investors. Rather, it's those who already control the infrastructure when that technology becomes mainstream who profit most. The next major infrastructure wave? Advanced air mobility. It's not a matter of if, but when private aircraft become the next popular mode of travel in the United States, and Lisa Wright, founder of Landings, will be waiting at the runway when it arrives. With decades of experience as a commercial real estate architect, Lisa is asking the question most people aren't thinking of just yet: where will these aircraft actually land? As an early adopter, Lisa's company is currently in a race to develop over 2,000 vertiport sites over the next five years. With little more than angel investments and bootstrapping, her team has already secured two-year land lease options throughout many rural communities where these amenities are likely to appear. In today's conversation, Lisa shares the strategy that has helped her stay fluid without major capital raises, her long-term vision for building out a coast-to-coast vertiport network, and the revenue-share model that gives landowners an almost irresistible investing opportunity. Insights from today's episode: Lisa's five-year plan for developing a 2,000-site vertiport network How early adopters of advanced air mobility stand to profit in the years ahead Why private aviation is poised to become the new frontier of transportation The revenue-share model that gives rural landowners unique investing opportunities Creating multiple revenue streams with low-cost, low-maintenance landing sites — Connect with Lisa on LinkedIn   Landings Recommended Resources: Accredited Investors, you're invited to Join the Cash Flow Investor Club to learn how you can partner with Kevin Bupp on current and upcoming opportunities to create passive cash flow and build wealth.

Many investors talk about financial freedom, but few ever scale to the point where they can leave their W-2 jobs and live off the cash flow from their real estate investments. Jason Kenney did it. Completely burned out after two decades of climbing the corporate ladder, Jason and his wife started allocating their W-2 income to real estate assets with the goal of buying back their time. Within only a few years, Jason was able to quit his W-2 job and replace his income with cash-flowing investments. Now, as the founder of Novo Capital Management, Jason focuses exclusively on multifamily apartments, with a 1,200-unit portfolio spanning several markets. Having been on both sides of syndications, Jason offers a rare, dual perspective on operations and the process of vetting sponsors. Using his “SMART” framework, investors can do their own due diligence on general partners, syndication deals, and even active investments. In this conversation, Jason shares about some of his recent acquisitions, candid lessons from deals that didn't pencil, and what investors need to do to truly stand out in today's high-interest-rate environment. Insights from today's episode: How Jason traded corporate burnout for financial freedom with real estate The “SMART” investor's framework for analyzing real estate deals How to properly vet sponsors and syndication deals before committing capital Why so many secondary markets are ripe with multifamily investing opportunities How operators can stand out in today's high-interest-rate environment — Novo Capital Management   Connect with Jason on LinkedIn Recommended Resources: Accredited Investors, you're invited to Join the Cash Flow Investor Club to learn how you can partner with Kevin Bupp on current and upcoming opportunities to create passive cash flow and build wealth.

This single property created more than $10M in value, but it was the most complex real estate deal we've ever done. We had to put a million dollars at risk to even start the transaction—and it was non-refundable. Multiple buyers, a cross-collateralized property in receivership with a parking lot, a hotel, and office space. This wasn't going to be easy, but it definitely paid off.  Today, I'm peeling back the curtain, showing you the full numbers and story of this commercial real estate case study that proves if you put in the work, the reward is there—and it could be an eight-figure payoff.  I'll walk through how we got this off-market, underpriced property sent to us, how we found buyers to take over the parts of the property we had no interest in, the substantial non-refundable earnest money we had to put down to close, and the hiccup at the eleventh hour that almost completely killed the deal. Plus, I'll share exactly what we did to take this parking garage investment from $31M to $35M to now being worth north of $40 million. This is how we did it.

For many real estate investors, development is the next level of property investing. Instead of renovating, you're building from the ground up, turning dirt into something hundreds or even thousands of people will use daily. But how do you start, get in good graces with the local government, and build projects you can be truly proud of? Kristi Kandel went from zero development experience to running her own office in a year, with undeniable success. She built 30 Family Dollar locations in one of the hardest markets in America—California. But that's not all—she even took on extraordinarily complex projects like building hydrogen fueling stations, something most developers wouldn't even dare to entertain. She's done some of the hardest development jobs and is sharing exactly how you can get your foot in the door, from planning what to build based on your market, to getting the local government on your side, who should be developing, and the mistake that almost cost her millions.  Plus, Kristi shares details on the $140M passion project she's building with public-private partnerships—the kind of legacy project every investor dreams of.  Insights from today's episode: How to get into real estate development, even if you have no experience  The first thing to check before you plan on developing any piece of land  The one person you must get in contact with to get the city's approval One big utility mistake that could have cost Kristi's team millions of dollars How locals can develop in their own communities and stop outside builders from taking over  The one project Kristi says was impossible to finish—and swears she'll never do again — Connect with Kristi on LinkedIn Follow Kristi on Instagram  Recommended Resources: Accredited Investors, you're invited to Join the Cash Flow Investor Club to learn how you can partner with Kevin Bupp on current and upcoming opportunities to create passive cash flow and build wealth.

Discover four reasons beginners should skip single-family investing and start with commercial real estate from day one.

Senior living investments are at a critical inflection point. Demand is sharply rising as the Baby Boomer generation ages, but supply hasn't kept pace. The “silver tsunami” is starting to send waves our way, and skilled operators are already taking advantage. Value-add senior living investments, like the example shared by today's guest, are seeing values multiply—and diligent operators have huge opportunities not only to make sizable returns but also to provide better lives for their residents. Lynn Jerath, founder of Citrine Investment Group, has a battle-tested background in REIT investing, hospitality, multifamily, and real estate private equity. She's pivoted to senior housing investments not only because of the profit potential, but also because of the purpose behind them. And she's not just buying managerially distressed assets, flipping the operator, and walking away. Lynn's team is delivering significant value add and, as a result, increasing the facility's value by 2x–3x on their total investment. She says demand is still growing while supply is constrained—and this trend could accelerate.  Between independent living, assisted living, memory care, and active adult investments, Lynn proves (with real numbers) that this space is far from saturated as the silver surge begins to wash ashore.  Insights from today's episode: Real return numbers on senior living investments as Lynn operates heavy value-add improvements  Why senior living has a long road ahead as demand grows and supply stagnates  Thinking of going from multifamily to senior living?

Mobile home parks are often labeled “recession-proof,” and it's largely true. They were some of the most resilient assets throughout the Great Financial Crisis, when single-family homes, multifamily apartments, and most other asset classes saw deep distress. But what is it about mobile home parks that make them seemingly “safe,” and is there a catch? Jack Martin, co-founder and CIO of 52TEN, was investing in real estate before, during, and after the 2008 housing market crash, and the fallout caused him to reconsider where he wanted to invest for the next 10, 20, or 30 years. In this episode, he shares exactly why he pivoted from multifamily apartments to “safer,” more recession-resistant mobile home parks, and delivers crucial advice on gauging market demand, “conservative” underwriting, and scaling your investments in today's market. The truth is, mobile home parks are strong investments, but only with good operators. Those who understand the asset, market, and tenant dynamics usually stay profitable—even in a worst-case scenario. But those who underwrite mobile home parks just like they would any other real estate asset are in for a rude awakening.

Over the last few years, many real estate investors learned a painful lesson: a polished pitch deck and impressive projections don't guarantee a “safe” investment. Deals went south, capital got stuck, and naturally, passive investors are now far more cautious about where they deploy their hard-earned money. Sarah Miskelly, founder of Hylee Capital, has witnessed this shift firsthand. Today, smart limited partners are no longer chasing flashy pro formas. They want risk-mitigated, institutional-grade opportunities that once felt out of reach for everyday investors. At the same time, there's been a growing shift toward debt investments, many of which Sarah believes aren't nearly as safe as they appear. Sarah shares how she evaluates sponsors and syndication deals through both the “hard” and “soft” sides of due diligence, along with the red flags she watches for—mistakes that have burned countless LPs in the past. She also breaks down the return metrics that matter most to hands-off investors and highlights the most compelling opportunities emerging in today's housing market—from multifamily apartments to mobile home parks. Insights from today's episode: Sarah's step-by-step process for vetting operators and syndication deals The return metrics that matter most to passive investors in today's market Why many LPs are moving toward debt investments (that aren't as safe as advertised) How to build a resilient portfolio by blending high-IRR deals and steady cash flow How building multiple cash flow streams can lead to greater lifestyle freedom — Connect with Sarah on LinkedIn Hylee Capital Recommended Resources: Accredited Investors, you're invited to Join the Cashflow Investor Club to learn how you can partner with Kevin Bupp on current and upcoming opportunities to create passive cash flow and build wealth.

Aaron sits down with Glen Kunofsky, Founder and CEO of SURMOUNT, for a wide-ranging conversation on growing up in a middle-class New York household, buying his first investment property at 19, and spending three years in brokerage without a meaningful paycheck before finally cracking the code on net lease. Glen shares how a chance connection with Carol's Corp unlocked a career-defining pivot away from hotels, how his wife's KPMG salary kept the lights on during the lean years, and why relationships over transactions isn't just a hat on the wall — it's the operating system behind a firm that grew from 35 to 130 people in three years. From assuming mortgages at 13% interest to pioneering the private market for sale-leasebacks, this episode is packed with unfiltered lessons from one of the most unconventional paths to the top of commercial real estate.Key Takeaways:• The best operators build their book before they need it — relationships compound long before transactions do• 18 months of no closings isn't failure — it's the cost of entry for anyone without a playbook• Pivoting from hotels to net lease didn't happen by strategy; it happened by curiosity and a family phone call• Paying junior brokers a base salary — not just splits — is how you build loyalty, not just production• The smallest client today can be your largest referral source in 10 years• Scaling from 35 to 130 people in three years is a byproduct of culture, not a growth strategyKey Timestamps:(00:00:00) – Growing Up in Queens, New York: Teachers, Carpool, and Middle-Class Roots(00:02:09) – Undiagnosed ADHD, Learning by Listening, and Getting A's When It Mattered(00:03:40) – Paper Routes, Snow Shoveling, and Always Having a Work Project(00:04:30) – First Foray Into Real Estate: Construction Labor at 13(00:08:30) – First Investment Property at 19: Closing With $2,000 Down on a House(00:09:31) – Still in School: Acquiring 19 Houses Within a Mile of ASU(00:13:55) – Meeting His Wife — and His First Tenant — on Day Two in Arizona(00:18:30) – 18 Months Without a Closing — Then a Pivot That Changed Everything(00:20:30) – The Phone Call That Launched a Net Lease Career: Carol's Corp and the Burger King Listing(00:26:00) – How Glen Built His Team: Base Salaries, Long Tenures, and No Training Your Competition(00:31:00) – The Culture Behind the Growth: Open Brokerage, Relationships Over Transactions(00:33:35) – Biggest Curveball: Surviving Three Years Without Real Income(00:36:15) – Advice for Young Brokers: Start With the Guy Who Has One Property, Not a Hundred(00:38:36) – What Surmount Actually Does: Four Business Lines, Billions Under Management(00:44:04) – The Legacy Question: What Glen Wants the Story to SayKey Topics Discussed:Commercial Real Estate Podcast, Private Equity Podcast, Commercial Real Estate Investing, Net Lease Brokerage, Sale-Leaseback Strategy, Real Estate Private Equity, Franchise Real Estate, QSR Net Lease, Single Tenant Net Lease, Investment Real Estate, Breaking Into Commercial Real Estate, Brokerage Mentorship, Building a Brokerage Team, Mentor Mentee Relationships, Multi-Family Investing, Arizona Real Estate, Assumable Mortgages, Hotel Brokerage, Pivoting in Real Estate, Real Estate Culture, Relationships Over Transactions, Commercial Property Management, Team Building in Brokerage, Real Estate Portfolio, Early Real Estate Investing, Wealth Building Through Real Estate, CEO Interview Podcast, Limitless, Aaron Zucker, Glen Kunofsky, Surmount, Marcus and Millichap, Carol's Corp, Burger King Net Lease, Arby's Net Lease, Panera Bread, Institutional Brokerage, Private Capital, Advisory Real Estate, Construction Management, Balance Sheet Investing, Family Office Real Estate, NNN Properties, Freestanding Retail, Limitless Podcast, Aaron ZuckerMentions:Glen's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/glen-kunofsky-55633216/More of Limitless:Web: zuckerinvestmentgroup.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-zucker-zig/IG: @zuckerinvestmentgroupX: @ZIG_CRE

In multifamily real estate, it used to be that “a rising tide lifts all boats.” In this market cycle, that's no longer the case. Apartment deals aren't profitable by luck. They're run by disciplined operators who understand the difference between surface-level updates and deep, value-add strategies that drive tenant retention, rent growth, and higher returns. After starting his career as an architect, Mark Shuler transitioned into ownership and development, and today, he leads a private equity firm that delivers sizable returns to passive investors through value-add multifamily properties. Mark has overseen thousands of apartment units and over $600 million in assets under management, so he understands, better than most, what actually moves the needle on NOI. When interest rates rose and cap rates followed suit, multifamily valuations tanked. Will there be more turbulence in 2026, or should operators and limited partners prepare for some of the best buying opportunities we've seen in years? Mark provides insights on the industry “reset” that's taking shape, addresses the red flags that too many investors overlook when analyzing deals, and even shares about his latest real estate-adjacent venture—a pure cash flow play that complements his long-term multifamily investments. Insights from today's episode: High-ROI property upgrades that actually move the needle for multifamily investors Common deal “killers” that operators often miss during due diligence The biggest risks and opportunities that multifamily investors face in 2026 Why strong multifamily operators are thriving amid an industry “reset” Regulatory pressure that is forcing operators out of certain markets Lessons from managing thousands of apartments and $600 million in assets — Connect with Mark on LinkedIn Email Mark at: mark@shulerarchitecture.com or mark@sgreinvestments.com Recommended Resources: Accredited Investors, you're invited to Join the Cashflow Investor Club to learn how you can partner with Kevin Bupp on current and upcoming opportunities to create passive cash flow and build wealth.

Commercial real estate feels like the next level—but most investors don't know how to get there. Paul Thompson from Real Estate 101 breaks down what actually changes when you move beyond single family, why bigger deals can be easier to manage, and how to structure them without relying on banks or needing millions upfront. He also reveals the hidden opportunity with “mom and pop” properties and how to scale faster by focusing on deal structure instead of capital.   KEY TALKING POINTS: 0:00 - Intro 0:22 - The Monopoly Lesson 1:49 - The 3 Ways To Make Money 3:58 - Paul's First Deal & The Struggle 5:35 - The Breakthrough & The Hidden Opportunity 9:27 - Bankless Deal Architecture 11:44 - Biggest Concerns 14:03 - The Game Is Still Yours To Win 14:47 - Outro   LINKS: Instagram: Paul Thompson https://www.instagram.com/pauldavidthompson/   Website: Commercial Real Estate 101 https://www.skool.com/commercial-real-estate-101/   Instagram: David Lecko https://www.instagram.com/dlecko   Website: DealMachine https://www.dealmachine.com/pod   Instagram: Ryan Haywood https://www.instagram.com/heritage_home_investments   Website: Heritage Home Investments https://www.heritagehomeinvestments.com/

Imagine replacing an entire rental property portfolio with just one “small” commercial asset. You can either manage 80+ rental units or just one building, with a fraction of the tenants, turnover, and headaches. Saul Zenkevicius did just that. He netted $250,000/year in cash flow from one small bay industrial real estate deal which quickly replaced the entire cash flow from a rental property portfolio he'd built over the years.  These small bay properties still have strong demand in most markets, with limited supply, and durable cash flow potential that institutional investors are finally starting to recognize. Saul made the leap and is now investing heavily in the small bay sector. He shares his exact buy box, the demographic signs of a strong market, and the biggest mistakes beginners can make in small bay warehouses.  Saul's contrarian thinking doesn't stop at small bay. We get his profitable take on why malls may be the most underrated investing play around. He's got real numbers to back it up—malls aren't dead; instead, they can be converted into cash flow machines.  Insights from today's episode: How Saul replaced an 86-unit rental portfolio with just one small bay investment  Still undersupplied?

Building wealth through mobile home park investing is much less about timing the market or finding the “perfect” deal and far more about operating with precision, discipline, and a long-term vision. Too often, solid acquisitions are undermined by a series of avoidable missteps, not because the opportunity was flawed, but because operations were. Few understand this better than Brad Johnson, co-founder of Vintage Capital, who has closed more than $3 billion in acquisitions to date. Across 20-plus years of commercial real estate investing experience, Brad has had to wear several hats. Today, he primarily focuses on curating portfolios of cash-flowing assets and compounding investor capital, but he's also been a hands-on operator. In this episode, he shares insights on creating systems from the ground up, building a 30-person property management team, and working tirelessly to improve net operating income (NOI). For those who can master operations (or partner with reliable operators), Brad believes there will always be money to be made in mobile home parks. With artificial intelligence disrupting the job market and the affordable housing crisis continuing to affect millions of Americans, it remains perhaps the “most exciting” asset class, not just over the next few years but for decades to come. Insights from today's episode: The number one reason why mobile home park investments fail Small, silent “killers” that erode a mobile home park's cash flow Operational insights on building out a large property management team Why the mobile home park industry has been slow to “consolidate” Why mobile home parks are the “most exciting” commercial asset right now Checks and balances that prevent you from overpaying for park deals — Connect with Brad on LinkedIn Invest with Brad and Vintage Capital Recommended Resources: Accredited Investors, you're invited to Join the Cashflow Investor Club to learn how you can partner with Kevin Bupp on current and upcoming opportunities to create passive cash flow and build wealth.

Most people have never met anyone who invests in parking lots, let alone considered buying one themselves. Are investors looking past one of the most misunderstood opportunities of 2026?  Yes. Today, I'm making the case for why parking lots deserve a serious look from every real estate investor. Imagine this: day-one cash flow, appreciation in the country's best locations, dynamic pricing that can maximize revenue minute-by-minute, limited supply, growing demand. That's the formula that every investor would gladly pull the trigger on. But most investors overlook the opportunity directly in front of them—parking lots. Don't believe me? Today, I'll share multiple case studies on how Sunrise Capital Investors generated over $10M in value from this overlooked asset, how we acquire parking facilities with cash flow the second we close, and three reasons why parking garage investments are poised to deliver phenomenal returns not only in the next few years but for decades. We're acquiring facilities with day-one cash flow—click here to learn more and get access to Fund 5.

Two overlooked “levers” helped Kent Ritter scale past 1,000 multifamily units—and most operators have never even thought of them. One helps you keep tenant turnover low, slashes your CapEx costs by 30%, and keeps your cash flow flowing. The other allows you to build properties for cheaper, do less capital raising, and get on the local government's good side. Even if you've heard of these tactics, you probably haven't tried them. Today, Kent Ritter from Hudson Investing discusses two strategies most operators overlook: in-house property management and public-private partnerships (P3s). First, Kent gives one of the best arguments for self-managing your assets: it keeps tenants for longer, creates more durable cash flow, and has massively lowered his expenses. Plus, he shares a new AI tool that is speeding up leasing and keeping his staff costs near rock-bottom. Next, the $2,000,000+ benefit Kent's team is receiving from public-private partnerships (P3). These P3 partnerships allow him to build with less pushback, raise capital faster (and easier), and bring positive change to the cities he's investing in, further pushing up his property values. Insights from today's episode: The true cost of an average property manager and why Kent switched to in-house Receiving millions in incentives from local governments with public-private partnerships How to save 30%+ on your CapEx costs by simply putting your own people in place  Why your property isn't performing as well as you thought it would (you can fix this) Property management tech to use (and avoid) and a new AI tool Kent highly recommends  How to pinpoint the best public-private partnerships and which towns want you to build  — Connect with Kent on LinkedIn Invest with Hudson Investing Follow Kent on Instagram Ritter on Real Estate Podcast  EliseAI Recommended Resources: Accredited Investors, you're invited to Join the Cashflow Investor Club to learn how you can partner with Kevin Bupp on current and upcoming opportunities to create passive cash flow and build wealth.
