On this week's episode of Passive Income Playbook, Pascal Wagner interviews Jon Jasniak. Jon shares how he built a multimillion-dollar land business since 2017, completing over 30 subdivisions and selling more than 10,000 acres, often doubling investor capital in months. He explains why land—though overlooked compared to multifamily and storage—can deliver outsized returns through subdividing and seller financing, while also breaking down misconceptions around cash flow, liquidity, and risk. Jon also talks about his $1M+ experiment of buying a Texas town, lessons from defaults and note sales, and what LPs should look for when investing in land operators.

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchLUNES, 06 DE OCTUBREVALOR EN LUGARES INESPERADOSCristo era el dirigente de los hijos de Israel en sus peregrinaciones por el desierto. Él los dirigió y guio rodeados por la columna de nubes de día y la columna de fuego de noche. Los preservó de los peligros del desierto, los llevó a la tierra prometida, y a la vista de todas las naciones que no reconocían a Dios, estableció a Israel como su posesión escogida, la viña del Señor. A este pueblo le fueron confiados los oráculos de Dios. Se lo rodeó con el vallado de los preceptos de su ley, los principios eternos de verdad, justicia y pureza. La obediencia a esos principios había de ser su protección, pues los salvaría de la destrucción propia por las prácticas pecaminosas. Y, como la torre en la viña, Dios colocó en medio de la tierra su santo templo. Cristo era su instructor. Así como había estado con ellos en el desierto, había de continuar siendo su maestro y guía. En el tabernáculo y en el templo su gloria moraba en la santa shekinah encima del propiciatorio. En favor de ellos, manifestó constantemente las riquezas de su amor y paciencia. Dios quería hacer de su pueblo Israel una alabanza y una gloria. Se dio a ellos toda ventaja espiritual. Dios no les negó nada favorable a la formación del carácter que había de hacerlos sus representantes... Por su desobediencia a Dios, Adán y Eva habían perdido el Edén, y debido a su pecado toda la tierra quedó maldita. Pero si el pueblo de Dios seguía su instrucción, su tierra había de ser restaurada a la fertilidad y la belleza. Dios mismo les dio instrucciones en cuanto a la forma de cultivar el suelo, y ellos habían de cooperar con él en su restauración. De modo que toda la tierra, bajo el dominio de Dios, llegaría a ser una lección objetiva de verdad espiritual. Así como en obediencia a las leyes naturales de Dios, la tierra había de producir sus tesoros, así en obediencia a sus leyes morales el corazón de la gente había de reflejar los atributos del carácter de Dios. Aun los paganos reconocerían la superioridad de los que servían y adoraban al Dios viviente... Los hijos de Israel habían de ocupar todo el territorio que Dios les había señalado. Habían de ser desposeídas las naciones que rechazaran el culto y el servicio al verdadero Dios. Pero el propósito de Dios era que por la revelación de su carácter mediante Israel, los hombres fueran atraídos a él. A todo el mundo se le dio la invitación del Evangelio. Por medio de la enseñanza del sistema de sacrificios, Cristo había de ser levantado delante de las naciones, y habían de vivir todos los que lo miraran. Todos los que, como Rahab la cananea, y Rut la moabita, se volvieran de la idolatría al culto del verdadero Dios, habían de unirse con el pueblo escogido. A medida que aumentara el número de los israelitas, estos habían de ensanchar sus fronteras, hasta que su reino abarcara el mundo. Dios deseaba colocar todas las naciones bajo su gobierno misericordioso. Deseaba que la tierra se llenara de gozo y paz. Creó al hombre para la felicidad, y anhela llenar el corazón humano con la paz del cielo. Desea que las familias terrenales sean un símbolo de la gran familia celestial (Palabras de vida del gran Maestro, pp. 230-233).

This week on The Art of SBA Lending, we explore the world of USDA Business & Industry (B&I) lending, often considered the "last frontier" of government-guaranteed small business finance. Host Ray Drew, who admits to knowing very little about the program, is joined by a panel of USDA experts—Steve Small, Jason Hoerr, and Charles Conoley—to demystify this often misunderstood loan program. The panel provides a deep dive into the B&I program, which is designed to stimulate economic activity and job creation in rural areas (populations of 50,000 or less). They reveal key advantages over the SBA 7(a), including larger loan amounts (up to $25 million), 30-year terms on real estate, and eligibility for investment real estate and non-profits. We tackle the common misconception that USDA loans take forever, clarifying that acquisitions can be approved in 2-4 weeks after bank approval. The panel explains why the USDA culture is fundamentally different from the SBA, acting more as a participant in a conventional loan rather than a strict insurer. Finally, we dive into the controversial question: Should the USDA B&I program be absorbed by the SBA?

Bugetul pe primele opt luni ale anului își menține deficitul bugetar înalt. Rectificarea care urmează va aduce datele bugetare la noua situație din economie, dar progresele în materie de reducere a deficitului nu vor fi spectaculoase. Despre datele bugetare pe primele șapte luni ale anului, scriam recent că au câteva semne încurajatoare. Era vorba despre tendința de scădere a deficitului bugetar calculat pentru fiecare lună și despre apropierea în iulie a.c. de un excedent primar. S-au menținut și în august a.c. aceste evoluții pozitive? Nu. Luna august se întoarce la un deficit bugetar mai mare (9,9 miliarde față de 6,7 miliarde, în iulie a.c., sau 5,5 miliarde de lei, în iunie a.c.). Ceea ce înseamnă că deficitul bugetar lunar a revenit în zona de creștere. De asemenea, nivelul lunar al deficitului s-a îndepărtat de excedentul primar și pentru că dobânzile plătite în contul datoriei publice au înregistrat un nivel scăzut, adică doar 1,4 miliarde lei. Cu alte cuvinte, luna iulie a.c. pare că a fost doar o conjunctură pozitivă, nu o tendință de durată. Luna august a.c. mai era interesantă dintr-un punct de vedere și anume trebuia văzut dacă în buget apar primele semne ale aplicării pachetului de măsuri, adică o creștere a încasărilor din TVA și o reducere a cheltuielilor de personal ca urmare a scăderii sporului pentru condiții grele de muncă. În ceea ce privește capitolul TVA, luna august a adus o creștere a veniturilor bugetare. În comparație cu anul precedent, creșterea pe primele opt luni a fost cu 7%. De asemenea, doar în luna august încasările nete au fost de 12,6 miliarde de lei, mai mult decât media lunară care a fost de aproximativ 10 miliarde de lei. Să mai facem o comparație. Anul trecut, în luna august, încasările nete din TVA au fost de 11 miliarde de lei, ceea ce înseamnă că în august 2025 veniturile nete au crescut cu 1,5 miliarde de lei. Nu putem pune încasările bugetare mai mari pe seama creșterii cotei de TVA de la 19% la 21%, pentru că datele sunt relative, în sensul că dincolo de veniturile bugetare obținute din TVA mai intervine un factor și anume rambursările. Ministerul Finanțelor precizează că anul acesta rambursările de TVA au fost mai mari cu două miliarde de lei decât în aceeași perioadă a anului 2024. În luna august a.c., cheltuielile de personal au fost sub media anuală, 13,6 față de 14 miliarde de lei, ceea ce ar putea însemna că apar efectele în buget ale reducerii sporului. Putem căuta „cu lupa” în buget primele semne ale pachetului de ajustare a deficitului. Nu sunt foarte vizibile, dar nici nu pot fi ignorate. Dar, dincolo de analizele la nivel de lună, situația deficitului bugetar pentru perioada ianuarie-august 2025 nu arată un progres substanțial. Astfel, procentual, deficitul scade față de anul trecut, 4,54% față de 4,59% din PIB, dar nominal crește cu aproximativ 5 miliarde de lei. Să privim, însă, spre următoarele luni ale anului. Înțelegerea cu Comisia Europeană referitoare la un deficit bugetar de 8,4% din PIB în 2025 este suficient de relaxată pentru ca obiectivul să fie atins. Chiar și în aceste condiții, rectificarea bugetară este importantă pentru că readuce bugetul la realitatea economică de azi. Creșterea economică a încetinit, inflația a crescut, iar noile alocări vor asigura plata salariilor bugetare în instituțiile în care în acest moment lipsesc fondurile din buget. În ultimii ani, programul Anghel Saligny a fost în centrul dezbaterilor politice. Programul a fost la un pas să fie oprit (premierul a dorit blocarea finanțării), dar protestele primarilor au dus la o schimbare de abordare. Mai exact, premierul a anunțat recent că la rectificare programul de dezvoltare locală va mai primi două miliarde de lei pentru a se putea plăti facturile pe întregul an. De asemenea, conform declarațiilor premierului Ilie Bolojan sumele alocate pentru investiții continuă să crească în comparație cu anul trecut. În concluzie, datele bugetare din perioada ianuarie-august arată că 2025 este un an de tranziție către o consolidare fiscală mai amplă în anul următor.
My guest today is Ryan Severino, Chief Economist & Head of Research at private equity real estate shop, BGO ($89 billion of AUM), who cuts through the macro noise with a practical roadmap for real estate sponsors and their investors. Driving Thesis: A new administration: slower immigration, volatile trade policy, and accelerating AI. These three forces are reshaping growth, hiring, space demand, and cap rates. If you're waiting for “inflation down → all clear,” you'll miss the real drivers. Why it matters: The biggest hit was capital-markets math. If the Fed guides toward neutral (where the Fed's actions neither stimulate nor restrains economic growth) and the long end eases (10/30 year treasury yields come down), origination, transactions, and pricing can recover faster than fundamentals. Durable investment returns still come down to labor, not inflation headlines. Five questions Ryan answers: Today's savvy investors should be looking at what? What is the cleanest macro signal for CRE? Tariffs vs. uncertainty; what's worse? Rate cuts: boon or “sugar rush”? Where will AI hit property first? Takeaways for sponsors & LPs: Underwrite to jobs, not CPI (inflation) chatter. Get hyper-local; this is a geography-led cycle. Favor durable demand pools (workforce housing). Expect a capital-markets thaw before a fundamental boom. Treat uncertainty as baseline; build flexibility into debt and expand equity capital sources. If you're separating signal from noise, this episode re-anchors the playbook: watch payrolls, heed forward guidance, underwrite locally, own real demand. According to ChatGPT's analysis of Ryan's historical predictions, he has ‘called the cycle's shape better than most; no overreaction to inflation, no premature recession warnings, and consistent recognition of labor market strength and capital flow dynamics. That's a rare track record, especially in a market where even top-tier macro shops have missed big turns.' Ryan's the real deal – hardly any wonder he's Chief Economist at an $89 billion AUM shop. *** In this series, I cut through the noise to examine how shifting macroeconomic forces and rising geopolitical risk are reshaping real estate investing.

In this podcast, Shimon Shkury, President and Founder of Ariel Property Advisors, and his guests Barbara Blair, President of the Garment District Alliance, and Howard Raber, a Director in Investment Sales at Ariel, unpack the recently approved Midtown South Mixed-Use (MSMX) Plan, which replaces outdated manufacturing zoning with residential use. The Midtown South rezoning spans 42 blocks across four distinct quadrants—roughly between 23rd and 41st Streets and Fifth and Eighth Avenues—and is expected to create nearly 10,000 new homes, of which close to 3,000 will be permanently affordable.Raber said that owners and developers are tremendously optimistic about the Midtown South rezoning plan because it will allow both office-to-residential conversions and ground-up residential developments. Blair noted that adding housing to the Garment District, when combined with the 54 existing hotels, will create a 24/7 live/work environment that will bring in better amenities and retail to the neighborhood.
En la vida social de nuestro tiempo cada vez es más frecuente la proliferación del extremismo y la violencia política, y especialmente el fenómeno de la desinformación se ha convertido en uno de los principales desafíos para el funcionamiento de las democracias. Si bien la manipulación informativa no es un fenómeno nuevo, su impacto y proliferación se ha intensificado en las últimas décadas debido a la expansión de las redes sociales y la fragmentación de los espacios de debate público. La complejidad de la desinformación no se limita a la difusión de noticias falsas, sino que involucra también la tergiversación de datos ciertos, el uso selectivo de la información y la amplificación de narrativas polarizantes que erosionan la confianza ciudadana en las instituciones.Y es en ese contexto social, en el que la información que alimenta el debate público se contamina por noticias engañosas. Los ciudadanos enfrentan serias dificultades para evaluar opciones políticas, formarse un criterio propio y participar con confianza en la vida pública. Y es que la desinformación condiciona la acción colectiva, debilita los consensos básicos y lamentablemente fomenta la radicalización ideológica, como lo hemos evaluado en episodios anteriores. Considerando además, que las redes sociales han sido diseñadas para maximizar el tiempo de uso, terminan favoreciendo la propagación de mensajes sensacionalistas o polarizantes por encima de contenidos verificados y contrastados. Creándose consigo un ambiente comunicacional en el que las emociones y las percepciones tienden a imponerse sobre los hechos, favoreciendo la creación de burbujas informativas en las que los usuarios quedan expuestos principalmente a aquello que refuerza sus creencias previas. Fomentando consigo una mayor fragmentación social y restringiéndose la posibilidad de establecer un debate democrático abierto, plural y constructivo.Para examinar cuáles pudieran ser las mejores prácticas para navegar esta desinformación, nos acompañó en este episodio Raisa Urribarri. Periodista e investigadora venezolana en el CIEPS, cofundadora del capítulo local de Internet Society. Con su apoyo analítico, intentaremos entender los orígenes y alcances de este fenómeno social y en especial como fortalecer la educación digital de los ciudadanos y construir espacios de deliberación democrática.Analistas:Manuel Alcántara SáezMaría Puerta RieraInvitada especial:Raisa UrribarriEdición y Conducción:Xavier Rodríguez Franco
On this week's episode of Multifamily Mastery, John Casmon interviews David Hrizak. With nearly three decades of experience across asset classes, David shares his evolution from Chicago broker to vertically integrated developer and investor. He recounts the pivotal $4M townhome project during the Great Recession, the sudden loss of his partner, and how relationships with community banks helped him pivot, survive, and ultimately thrive. David explains why he shifted from multifamily to commercial—highlighting the stability of long-term leases, the value of tenant credit, and how to structure triple-net leases that pass expenses through to tenants. He also stresses the importance of asking sponsors about their worst deals, vetting relationships, and learning from experienced partners before diving into commercial real estate.

The AI trade is reshaping markets and CRE is riding shotgun.A surge of capital into chips and data centers has turned AI into the backbone of U.S. growth — pushing tech spending to dot-com-era highs and doubling data center pipelines.But will it pay off? Alarm bells are ringing that adoption may not match optimism. That could quickly mean swathes of massive data centers sitting vacant.Michael Pearce, deputy chief U.S. economist at Oxford Economics, sees the opposite problem. On this week's episode, he said adoption curves are running much closer to forecasts.His concern: CRE can't keep up.“All the limits are on the supply side,” he said. “On the demand side it feels limitless.”

On this week's episode of Passive Income Playbook, Pascal Wagner interviews Judd Dunning. In this primer on triple-net sale-leasebacks, Judd breaks down gross vs. modified-gross vs. NNN/absolute NNN, why operating companies sell their real estate and lease it back, and how tenant credit and location drive risk and return. He compares NNN to self-storage, multifamily, office and retail, then outlines how industrial logistics and on-shoring are shaping today's cap rates, spreads, and refinance outlook. You'll also hear where LPs go wrong (sponsor vetting, re-lease assumptions) and how bonus depreciation can juice after-tax results on industrial deals with meaningful equipment bases.

David Kotter is CEO and President of both the Hybrid Debt Fund and Integrity Capital, LLC, managing over $2 billion in funding in the commercial finance space. With a background spanning the secondary debt markets and commercial origination, Kotter is known for his innovative “hybrid debt” structure—blending lender security with investor upside—while helping clients bridge funding gaps in today's challenging CRE market. David's path from entrepreneurial hustles (medical kits, landscaping) to launching Integrity Capital while still in college, focusing on commercial debt origination and now running a fund that holds and manages private credit paper itself. The difference between primary market (origination/lending directly to developers) and secondary market (buying distressed or performing debt from other lenders); why Kotter migrated his focus to origination for deeper client relationships and resilience across market cycles. How the Hybrid Debt Fund works: funding up to 85–90% of a project, then participating in 30–35% of profits, offering speed and flexibility to developers, while providing “debt with equity-like upside” to investors. Why commercial lending is a field for those with tenacity and resilience; how internships and analytical roles are a strong entry point, and why success is a blend of sales grit, analytical rigor, and networking at the highest levels. Honest discussion of market cycles: post-2022 “fog mode” in CRE, what signals the sector is thawing as of late 2025, and why office, older multifamily, and hospitality have the most distress—but no “tsunami” of deals or crash expected. Breaking into commercial finance requires hands-on exposure, industry mentors, and a willingness to plow through long, complex, often uncertain deals—those who persist can earn $300K+ within several years. The debt+equity hybrid model gives developers flexibility and investors returns otherwise unavailable from traditional lenders—a timely solution as banks retrench and equity gets expensive. Commercial real estate is about to regain momentum after a period of stasis; the best operators are adapting, not waiting for “vulture” moments or a 2008-style crash. “Smart capital structure = survival. In 2008, great projects died because capital disappeared. In 2025, Hybrid Debt Fund is bridging the gap banks left behind.” “We provide operators with fast, flexible capital and offer investors security with upside—solving real market friction.” “Tenacity and relationship-building are essential; CRE brokering success comes to those who can solve complex problems and persist through slow, challenging cycles.” integrity-capital.com ✖️✖️✖️✖️
From Pharmacy to a Million Square Feet: Commercial Real Estate with Tanh Truong!
Erica Groshen knows what's behind the numbers. She served as the 14th Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics and a Vice President at the New York Fed. The BLS is rarely in the headlines but political assaults on its independence have suddenly made its work front-page news. At stake: whether the data that guide trillions in investment and policy decisions can still be trusted. In our conversation, Erica and I explored five questions that matter not just for CRE professionals, but for anyone trying to make sense of today's economy: What happens to markets when political leaders undermine trust in official statistics? How would a politicized Fed and BLS reshape the cost of capital and risk across the economy? How is the nation's labor data actually gathered? Why does the BLS's data matter so much for the business and CRE cycle? How does the Fed use labor data to set interest rates? This isn't an abstract debate. For commercial real estate, cap rates, borrowing costs, and deal structures all trace back to the business cycle - and that cycle is measured first and foremost by BLS data. If you want to look beyond today's headlines and hear why institutional trust translates directly into your cost of capital — this is the episode to listen to. *** In this series, I cut through the noise to examine how shifting macroeconomic forces and rising geopolitical risk are reshaping real estate investing.

Greg MacKinnon is Director of Research at the Pension Real Estate Association (PREA), where he updates the world's largest institutional investors on portfolio construction, risk, and strategy. His is a vantage point most sponsors never get to hear directly. In this conversation, Greg and I revisited our conversation from two weeks ago to drill deeper into the housing market. His thesis is simple but surprising: the capital flows and risk assessments at the very top of the pyramid are being reshaped by renter bifurcation and the economics of affordability. Here are five questions Greg answered that every serious CRE professional should consider: Why does the 10-year Treasury matter more than the Fed's 25 bps rate cut last week? How fragile is today's economy, and what does that mean for institutional portfolio construction? How can understanding the “barbell” of renter demand help you make better investment decisions? Why has naturally affordable multifamily historically outperformed luxury on a risk-adjusted basis? Where are institutions actually deploying capital today and why? Greg's insights are drawn from the institutional world, where the stakes are measured in billions and the lens is long-term risk management. For sponsors and operators, listening in offers a rare chance to see how these investors are evaluating markets - and to align your own strategies accordingly. *** In this series, I cut through the noise to examine how shifting macroeconomic forces and rising geopolitical risk are reshaping real estate investing.

On this week's episode of Horizon Podcast, John Chang breaks down the Fed's latest rate cut, why he thinks it's driven more by confidence and political pressure than liquidity, and what the dot plot implies for the next few years. He explains how lower rates could briefly unjam CRE deal flow, then pivots to retail where inflation-adjusted sales are still rising and household leverage looks manageable relative to income. John also maps out how a mild, tariff- and labor-constraint-driven slowdown could create winners and losers by market, highlighting durability, policy orientation, industry mix, and overdevelopment risk as key filters. He closes with a demographic tailwind for consumption as millennials move deeper into peak earning years.

The starting gun has gone off: The Federal Reserve lowered interest rates 25 basis points. Now CRE can be off to the races.At least that's the narrative.In practice, CRE cares more about long-term debt, and the 10-year Treasury ran counter to expectations and actually rose 10 bps, Jim Costello, MSCI's director of real estate economics, said on this week's show. Besides, the industry's problems go far beyond interest rates, and 25 bps isn't large enough to make much difference.“If you want to be successful in CRE, it's not about that home run of capital market forces lifting the value tremendously,” Costello said. “It's going to be a lot of singles and doubles.”That means a focus on proper leasing, getting the right broker, careful analysis of tenants and focusing on operating expenses.How about all that money waiting on the sidelines — will that finally loosen up with the drop in rates?“Here's the thing about dry powder: When you get a little wind, it can blow it away,” Costello said.“If you don't have a situation where managers can place money effectively and hit their IRRs, that dry powder will dissipate.”

Since 2022, commercial real estate (CRE) investors have endured one of the toughest stretches in decades. Surging inflation drove mortgage rates higher, cap rates expanded, and property values sank. The mantra became clear: “survive until 2025.” Now, with inflation cooling, rates easing, and capital returning, the tide may finally be turning. In this episode, I sit down with Ben Miller, CEO of Fundrise, who shares why he's more optimistic about CRE's future—and why the next three years could be far better than the last. Invest In CRE In A Diversified Way If you're looking to gain exposure to commercial real estate, take a look at Fundrise. Founded in 2012, Fundrise now manages over $3 billion for 380,000+ investors. Their focus is on residential-oriented commercial real estate in lower-cost markets - assets that tend to be more resilient than office or retail. Throughout the downturn, Fundrise continued deploying capital to capture opportunities at lower valuations. Now, as the CRE cycle turns, they're well-positioned to benefit from the rebound. The minimum investment is just $10, making it easy to dollar-cost average over time. I've personally invested six figures into Fundrise's CRE offerings, and I appreciate that their long-term approach aligns with my own. Fundrise has also been a long-time sponsor of Financial Samurai, which speaks to our shared investment philosophy.

Logan breaks down how he defines and tracks “meaningful conversations” (about 100 per month) to focus only on activities that move deals forward. He explains his Kansas City strategy, why creative structures beat chasing yesterday's cap rates, and how he blends AI with CRE fundamentals to deliver same-day portfolio and market analyses clients love. Key Topics Meaningful conversations → measurable pipeline: How Logan defines, tracks, and protects time for high-value chats with owners, investors, vendors, and tenants. “Land squatting” for flex industrial: Adapting Neil Bawa's idea—option raw land, drive entitlements/rezoning, line up build-to-suit users, and package “paper lots” or fully approved sites. AI as an edge (with verification): Using frameworks, proprietary data, and tools to create 10–12 page portfolio audits in ~35 minutes—then spot-checking outputs before client delivery. Why Kansas City works: Affordability, logistics (rail and 2-day truck reach to ~80% of the U.S.), supply-constrained multifamily, and surging data-center development. - Get Interviewed on the Show! - ================================== Are you a real estate investor with some 'tales from the trenches' you'd like to share with our audience?

On this week's episode of Best Ever CRE Show, John Casmon interviews fellow Best Ever host, Ash Patel. Ash breaks down why he shifted from multifamily to non-residential CRE, citing shrinking returns, intense competition and far greater room for creativity in retail, office, industrial and mixed-use. He shares case studies including a Louisville office portfolio bought for pennies on the dollar with a split-and-sell strategy, and an 80,000-square-foot Canton office deal that breaks even with one floor leased. They compare underwriting, leasing risk, and management intensity, with Ash arguing commercial can deliver higher NOI with fewer headaches when you play defense and buy creatively.
