Podcasts about distressed

Craig and Mario talk about discounted Dubai properties that sound too good to be true. Not every distressed listing is genuine. We explain how fake listings, fabricated seller stories and advance deposit scams are targeting buyers, plus the essential checks every investor should complete before transferring money or making an offer in the Dubai property market. ► Patreon Connect: https://www.patreon.com/cw/u58318628 ► Have your say by recording a message:   https://www.speakpipe.com/realestateradio  ► Website https://dubaipropertypodcast.lovable.app/ ► Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/.../dubai.../id1662176569 ► Subscribe here to never miss an episode: https://dubaipropertypodcast.podbean.com ► INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/dubaipropertypodcast/?hl=en ► EMAIL: dubaipropertypodcast@gmail.com  Homes for sale, Real estate agents, Real estate listings, Real estate investing, Property management companies, Commercial real estate, Real estate market trends, Real estate market analysis, Real estate finance, Real estate development, Real estate law, Real estate technology, Real estate investing for beginners, Real estate negotiation skills, Real estate marketing #DubaiRealEstate #PropertyInvestment  #OffPlanDubai #DubaiMarketUpdate #RealEstateNews #InvestInDubai #GlobalPropertyMarket #UAEPropertyBoom #DubaiVillas #PropertyTrends2025 #dubaiproperty #dubai #dubairealestate  #VisaRenewal #ExpatDubai  #SharjahRealEstate #Masaar2 #DubaiVisa #UAEProperty #RealEstateTrends #DubaiLife #InstantVisa #DubaiServices"   #PropertyInvestment   #DubaiHousing #RealEstateInsights  #RealEstatePredictions  #MortgageRates #ForeignInvestment #UAEInvestors #YoungExpatsDubai #DubaiFirstHome #PropertyOwnershipUAE #DubaiSouthLiving #DubaiPropertyMarket #InvestInDubai #JVC #DubaiMarina #BusinessBay #PropertyInvestment #UAEProperty #RentalYields #DubaiApartments #UAERealEstate #DubaiSafety #SharjahLiving #GlobalInvesting  #DubaiDream #UAEInvestment #DubaiInvesting #DubaiPropertyMarket #DubaiVillas #ExpatLifeDubai #DubaiHomes #RealEstateTips #InvestInDubai #DubaiLife #PropertyAdvice #DubaiLiving #DubaiRealEstate #DubaiPropertyMarket #UAEProperty #DubaiInvesting #MiddleEastProperty #DubaiInvestors #PropertyMarketUpdate #UAERealEstate #DubaiInvestment #GlobalPropertyInvesting

Many investors, particularly those new to the asset class, equate private credit with direct lending. However, private credit encompasses a much broader space than just direct lending. This year, amid concerns over software exposure and rising credit stress in direct lending, we have seen increased interest in other strategies. In particular, distressed and special situations credit strategies, a large and established segment of the market, are gaining popularity. On today's episode, Aaron Mulvihill is joined by Brad Demong, Co-Chief Investment Officer of the Global Special Situations Group at J.P. Morgan Asset Management. They discuss why interest in distressed and special situations credit strategies has grown, how the private credit market has repriced following dislocations earlier this year and how the current private equity landscape is creating opportunities for distressed and special situations investors.  Resources: For more resources on Alternatives, visit our Guide to Alternatives and Principles of Alternatives Investing Listen to the audio version of the Alternative Realities podcast: Apple Podcasts | Spotify

Jesus constantly says things to his disciples which challenge their attitudes and expectations – can we learn lessons ourselves from this? In today's 17th chapter of Matthew we see how “they were greatly distressed” [v.23] after “Jesus said to them, ‘The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him, and he will be raised on the third day.'”   Not long before, as we read yesterday, Jesus had rebuked Peter when Peter had said to him, “This shall never happen to you” [16 V.22]  The message of his impending death was now starting to sink in – their minds are unsuccessful in putting this into focus with his words about the glory that would follow – sitting “on twelve thrones” as we will read in ch. 19 v.28.  We read today of the three that witnessed his transfiguration, they “fell on their faces and were terrified.” [v.6] when they heard the voice of God speaking from a bright cloud saying, “'This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased' [v.5]Such is our human nature, we have great difficulty in coping with events outside the realm of past experience. What if there is a warning of such events? The women who accompanied Jesus were somewhat better in coping with his tragic death than any of the 12 – and they were the first to visit the tomb and accept that he was wondrously raised again and now had an immortal body.Our thoughts now go to what is to confront us in coming years, maybe even in coming months!  Will we be “greatly distressed” when, as we will soon read in ch, 24 v.27,29 “as the lightning from the east so will be the coming of the Son of Man … the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light and the stars will fall …”  Some prefer to give a spiritual interpretation to this – but Jesus is literally returning!  Are we confident we will not be like the disciples, but will have a strong and confident faith anticipating the moment “he will send out his angels and they will gather his elect …”? [v.31] – that will be literal.  We talk and study a lot about the glories that follow his return – and the disciples rejoiced in the promise of Jesus about their future, but that did not help them to cope with the tragedy that came first. May our constant prayer be “Lord increase our faith” as the disciples requested of him [Luke 17 v.5] – and deserve  the same commendation Paul gave to the Thessalonians in his 2nd letter to them, “We ought always to give thanks to God for you brothers (& sisters), as is right, because your faith is growing abundantly.”

To illustrate how uniquely challenging the restructuring experience is for the unacquainted, C Street Advisory Group founder and CEO Jon Henes recalled a client CEO's sentiment after complex, hardball restructuring negotiations: “Every time we walk into a room ... I feel like I'm in one big game of poker. Except you know what your cards are and you know what my cards are and you know what everybody in the room's cards are and so do they. The only person who doesn't know what anybody's cards are is me ... And I'm the CEO of the company.” Henes sits down with Bloomberg Intelligence analysts Negisa Balluku and Phil Brendel to explore boardroom dynamics (including a Wellman Chapter 11 retrospective) around those “most consequential moments,” managing fast-moving leaks by controlling the narrative, the intersection of Big Law and AI, and his outlook on LMEs and bankruptcies. The podcast concludes (1:24:00) with BI's Noel Hebert joining Negisa and Phil to discuss the latest developments in Incora, Serta, First Brands, Optimum Communications and DISH DBS. The State of Distressed Debt podcast is part of BI's FICC Focus series.

After years of refusing to lower prices, more and more home sellers are starting to throw in the towel, says housing analyst Nick Gerli of Reventure Consulting.And as more distressed inventory hits the market, we're starting to see "crash pricing" in certain markets.The trend is early, and prices will likely still fall further.But as Nick walks us through in this video, if you're scrappy and can negotiate well, your odds of buying a house today at 2019 prices are getting a lot better.For a very important housing market update, watch this video.WORRIED ABOUT THE STOCK MARKET?

There's a long history of exploitation in the denim supply chain, as our first guest this week, Bego Demir, can attest. He developed incurable silicosis in the 2000s as a result of his sandblasting job in a Turkish factory producing jeans for a famous American brand.These days Bego coordinates Clean Clothes Campaign Türkiye, and is supporting a creative new activist strategy to hold another brand to account, this time for making big claims about being "responsibly made", while workers in a supplier factory in Istanbul faced harsh consequences when they dared to organise for better conditions.Earlier this year, the Dutch office of the CCC network filed a groundbreaking lawsuit against denim giant Levi Strauss. Their core argument is that Levi's used misleading claims on the labour conditions in its supply chain when advertising its products to Dutch consumers. Four individual consumers, who purchased Levi's products believing they were buying from an ethical brand, have joined the lawsuit. One of then, Pam, is also on this week's show sharing her perspective.Too many brands fail to prevent worker exploitation in their supply chains, from union busting to denying workers' their basic rights, whether that's the right to organise, to strike, or to be paid a living wage. Could this latest CCC tactic - to use consumer law that protects shoppers from greenwashing - make a difference? Let's find out.Find links and further reading at thewardrobecrisis.comSupport the show on Substack - wardrobecrisis.substack.comTell us what you think.

If you've been watching real estate content online lately, you've probably heard a lot of people telling you rates are about to come down. In this video, I'll walk through why the data says otherwise, and what it means for the deals in front of you. Here's the question everyone's asking: how high will interest rates go, and how long will they stay there? The latest data gave us a clear signal. Headline inflation came in at 4.2% against an expected 3.8%. Core inflation sits at 2.9%. The 10-year Treasury jumped another 20 basis points. And with the Iran conflict keeping energy costs elevated, inflation is proving stickier than the market wants to admit. Kevin Warsh has signaled it will follow the data, and if inflation stays sticky, that could mean rates move up, not down. We've said it for two years: this is higher for longer, a new normal, and it's not reversing anytime soon. So what does that mean for you and me? It means a lot of investors who bought last year betting on an 18-to-24-month drop in rates are going to feel it. And it means the rest of us have to be more discriminating, factoring higher rates into every deal we look at over the next two to three years. But here's what's also true: the opportunity is real. Distressed deals are coming into the market at a basis where the cash-on-cash return actually works. And single-family residential - far less rate-sensitive than commercial - is softening in ways that are opening real windows. Real estate isn't out of favor. It just rewards the investor willing to dig deeper and underwrite with a clear, discriminating eye. This video breaks down how to think through all of it.

He outlines how Transom identifies businesses with strong underlying industry potential but significant operational challenges, then applies a disciplined value-creation model to improve performance.The discussion covers Transom's six core operational transformations: salesforce effectiveness, new product innovation, digital transformation, supply-chain improvement, cost reduction, and talent and culture.Russ also shares how the firm structures its operations team, why former portfolio-company CEOs and CFOs can become highly effective operating partners, and how Transom is deploying AI across back-office and commercial functions.Key TakeawaysWhy operational and situational complexity can create attractive entry points.How Transom approaches carve-outs as an opportunity rather than simply additional risk.The importance of building repeatable operational capabilities instead of attempting every possible transformation.Why operating teams should be involved from underwriting through execution.How supply-chain improvements have generated substantial gross-margin expansion.Where AI is currently delivering value across accounts payable, receivables, customer service, forecasting and sales.Why portfolio companies need internal AI champions to drive adoption.How leaders can stay informed without overpowering portfolio-company management teams.Timestamps00:00 Introduction to Russ Roenick and Transom Capital00:30 Moving from McKinsey into Private Equity01:26 Transom's value-oriented investment strategy01:55 Distressed investing versus operational value investing03:16 Using operational and situational complexity04:14 Carve-outs, lender situations and tail-end funds05:14 Launching Transom during the global financial crisis07:04 The importance of adapting while maintaining investment discipline08:29 Why Transom specialised in carve-outs and special situations10:58 Why many firms view carve-outs as excessive risk12:54 Transom's six operational transformation strategies13:23 Salesforce transformation14:17 New product innovation14:45 Digital transformation and AI implementation15:15 Supply-chain and gross-margin improvement16:13 Cost reduction, talent and culture17:37 Structuring the portfolio operations team18:05 Recruiting former portfolio-company CEOs and CFOs19:59 Transom's approach to AI adoption20:57 Applying AI across back-office functions21:49 Creating internal AI champions22:48 Common AI use cases across the portfolio24:10 How Russ stays informed25:31 Leadership, decision-making and knowing when to step back25:57 How to contact RussRaw Selection partners with Private Equity firms and their portfolio companies to secure exceptional executive talent.

Chris Whalen is back for The Wrap after his fishing trip in Maine, where he caught a 21-inch smallmouth bass! He's very positive on Kevin Warsh's "less is more" approach at the Fed—no forward guidance, likely removing the dot plot, and refocusing on letting the numbers speak for themselves rather than trying to control expectations through communication. Whalen argues the bond market has already delivered a rate hike on its own, and if he were Warsh, he'd wait and see how the Iran peace deal holds before making more moves, given that war inflation is transitory and external to Fed policy. He reveals the definition of inflation will likely be narrowed to minimize rate hikes and avoid tanking the economy, and he's watching a massive rebalancing from equities to bonds at record allocation levels. Whalen sold most of his AI stocks and locked in serious gains, but he's holding SpaceX as a long-term play given Elon's monopolies on space launch and global internet. He warns the AI bubble is going south with Mike Saylor and Bitcoin spiraling, sees gold and silver as a great entry point after being beaten down, and is adding to positions. He explains silver's manufacturing and technology demand while copper faces supply constraints. On Iran, Whalen argues the MOU doesn't solve underlying inflation drivers—diesel, fertilizer, energy ripple through the economy—so double-digit inflation is locked in with no Fed rate cuts coming. He's concerned about private credit festering with two-and-twenty fees still common, distressed debt exchanges now over 70% of defaults since 2022, and he likes Annaly as a mortgage REIT with government-insured assets and mortgage servicing rights providing protection. Whalen notes precious metals could still rise despite rate hikes because central banks will keep accumulating gold as reserve assets. Links:    The Institutional Risk Analyst: https://www.theinstitutionalriskanalyst.com/  The Wrap: https://www.theinstitutionalriskanalyst.com/post/theira858Inflated book (2nd edition): https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/inflated-r-christopher-whalen/1146303673Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/rcwhalen    Use the code TheWrap2026 for 25% off your first year of The Institutional Risk Analyst https://www.theinstitutionalriskanalyst.com/plans-pricingTimestamps:0:00 Intro and welcome back Chris Whalen1:47 Warsh sets different tone - No forward guidance, likely no dot plots3:33 Less is more approach - Fed was communicating too much5:43 Bond market has already done the rate hike6:50 War inflation is transitory - External factor Fed can't control7:19 Definition of inflation will be adjusted/narrowed9:10 Bond market doing tightening, not Fed funds rate10:34 Rebalancing from equities to bonds at record levels11:50 Sold most AI stocks, took profits, holding SpaceX12:07 SpaceX monopoly on space/internet - Long term play13:57 AI trade, Bitcoin15:57 Gold/silver beaten up but good entry, adding positions17:02 Silver manufacturing and technology demand17:49 Copper supply/demand - Not enough copper globally19:32 Iran MOU doesn't solve underlying issues21:45 Double-digit inflation locked in - Diesel, fertilizer ripple22:34 Fed can't fix war-driven inflation23:52 No rate cuts coming - Business banking on cuts won't get them24:48 Private credit festering problem - Two and twenty fees26:16 Distressed debt exchanges over 70% of defaults29:27 Annaly - Mortgage REIT with government insured assets30:00 Precious metals could rise despite rate hikes - Central banks buying31:43 Precious metals dollar strength question32:07 Next week

We lead with the possible IPOs from OpenAI, Anthropic and SpaceX, and the much bigger question behind them: where is all that money supposed to come from? The capital markets seem to believe the answer is labor. If AI valuations are going to make any sense, then the bet is not simply that AI companies will sell more software. The bet is that AI will absorb, replace or reorganize a massive piece of the payroll line. Joe believes marketers need to prepare for a labor reckoning sooner rather than later. Robert is more skeptical. As usual, the truth may be somewhere in the middle. Then the boys break down Bending Spoons and its rollup of old internet and media brands, including AOL, Vimeo, Evernote and others. The lesson for marketers? Distressed media assets inside your industry may be one of the biggest opportunities nobody is talking about. In a world where building audience from scratch is harder than ever, the cheapest audience may be the one someone else forgot they owned. In Winners and Losers, Joe's winner is FIFA, which reminded every marketer that rented land is always rented land, even when your name is on the stadium. Robert's loser is Turner Classic Movies. In Rants and Raves, Joe raves about Pat McAfee's new media model and what happens when an expert builds the audience, owns the IP and lets big media rent access. Robert has commentary on MrBeast's claim that he could build a faceless YouTube channel to 20 million subscribers in six months, and what that says about formats, systems and the future of creator media.

“If there's kind of a squeamishness about forum shopping in the US, there's a little...it's just overseas, there's none at all,” observed Harvard Law Professor Jared Ellias. “There's a great deal of pride and interest in building...an insolvency system that is equal and in some ways more useful than what they have in the United States.” Ellias sat down with Bloomberg Intelligence analysts Negisa Balluku and Phil Brendel to discuss his new paper, “The Global Law of Debt,” co-authored with Narine Lalafaryan. Ellias traces how the historical entanglement of the New York and London debt markets has evolved into a highly competitive, globalized ecosystem where borrowers now forum-shop across borders to maximize flexibility and bypass traditional constraints like Chapter 11's absolute-priority rule. The conversation dives into the export of aggressive liability management exercises (LMEs), the implementation of hybrid “Frankenstein” debt documents and how foreign-court systems relish taking market share from the US. The podcast concludes (1:05:40) with BI's Noel Hebert joining Negisa and Phil to discuss the latest developments in First Brands Group, Optimum Communications, QVC Group and Trinseo.

In multifamily real estate, each property has unique aspects, no two properties are exactly alike. This lends itself to market inefficiency and opportunity.  That's why it's possible to achieve alpha returns in any environment if you look hard enough. Bo Diamond, Co-founder of Caisson Capital Partners, identifies properties with value-add opportunities that make it possible to achieve outsize returns for his investors. Over the past few months, lenders have started to dispose of properties at highly discounted prices that reflect the current distress in the market.

Sponsors Bain and Cinven are confident creditors will approve the A&E deal for Arxada, despite opposition from its senior unsecured bondholders. But is that confidence based on sunny optimism?9fin sources say negotiations are ongoing with the SUNs in the background as the deadline to sign up for the deal is today (28 May). The company may look to extend by a day, Cinven partner Christopher Anderson, said on a Q1 26 earnings call yesterday (27 May).The company received over 90% support from its secured creditors last week, Anderson said. However, he did not give an update on the SUN consent threshold, which was a meagre 20% at the deal launch on 13 May.The company needs 75% from each class of creditors to implement the deal through an English scheme of arrangement, which it filed for on 26 May.In this episode of Distressed Diaries, host and senior reporter Bianca Boorer speaks with distressed credit analyst Yusuf Sule and senior legal consultant Luke Viner about the A&E deal, creditor sentiment, what could happen if it goes to court, and how the company might handle the unconsenting SUNs.

“There's such an informational asymmetry between incumbent investors — the direct lenders who are in the deal and the sponsor — and new parties that it can be harder to bridge that bid-ask,” said Ensis Partners Co-Founder Richard Shinder, “Price transparency acts as a signal... and if you don't have that price signal, that can be a deterrent to getting things done.” Shinder shared valuable insights into the rapidly evolving middle-market and private credit restructuring landscape in his conversation with Bloomberg Intelligence's Phil Brendel at the Beard Group Distressed Investing Media Night in New York City on May 19. The discussion delves into asset-liability mismatches, the rising impact of AI and obsolescence risk on technology workouts, pricing transparency challenges and what a “higher-for-longer” interest rate environment means for shifting systemic risks.

In this episode, Michelle Tack interviews Bill Bymel, a seasoned real estate investor and founder of First Lien Capital, about his decades of experience in distressed debt, loan workouts, and market cycles. Bill shares how he entered the distressed mortgage space during the 2008 financial crisis and built a business around acquiring non-performing loans at a discount, restructuring debt, and helping borrowers exit with dignity. He also discusses market cycles, current dislocations in commercial real estate, and how his firm combines institutional knowledge, strong networks, and AI to manage risk and create value across residential and commercial assets.   Professional Real Estate Investors - How we can help you: Investor Fuel Mastermind:  Learn more about the Investor Fuel Mastermind, including 100% deal financing, massive discounts from vendors and sponsors you're already using, our world class community of over 150 members, and SO much more here: http://www.investorfuel.com/apply   Investor Machine Marketing Partnership:  Are you looking for consistent, high quality lead generation?

“I've been shocked by the attention the issue as far as my mediating cases that are before me has gotten because in my view it's just a label,” US Bankruptcy Judge Michael Kaplan said, addressing the scrutiny surrounding his role as a mediator in cases pending before him. Bankruptcy judges “have always brought parties into chambers in an effort to settle matters when it's consensual.” In a conversation with Bloomberg Intelligence's Negisa Balluku at the Beard Group's Distressed Investing Media Night on May 19, Judge Kaplan framed bankruptcy judges as trial-level problem solvers, discussed his Multi-Color venue opinion, and raised concerns about the speed and cost of Chapter 11, as well as the weakening effect that liability management exercises can have on future debtors.

Episode -195: How Scott Carson Makes Millions Buying Distressed Mortgage Notes What if you could buy distressed mortgage debt at a discount, help homeowners stay in their homes, and generate strong cash flow without dealing with tenants or major rehab projects? In this episode of Eat, Sleep, Invest, Brian Driscoll talks with note investing expert Scott Carson about how buying performing and non-performing mortgage notes has become one of the most overlooked strategies in real estate investing. Scott shares his journey from mortgage broker to becoming widely known as "The Note Guy," with experience in buying billions in distressed debt. Scott breaks down how note investing works, how investors acquire mortgage debt directly from banks at deep discounts, and why many borrowers are able to remain in their homes through loan modifications and structured payment plans. He also shares insights from his first note deal, how he raises capital using self-directed IRAs, and common mistakes new investors make when entering the space. The conversation also explores foreclosure timelines, due diligence, tax considerations, first-position vs second-position notes, and why note investing can generate strong returns without owning physical property.

“You have a refinancing problem; that's the dynamic that we're in today. With the covenant-lite nature of the loan market, most of these better-quality businesses can orchestrate an extension one time,” said Jason Mudrick, founder and chief investment officer of Mudrick Capital Management. “The problem is when you get to that new post-LME maturity wall, it's going to be much more challenging if we did our jobs right to do another LME.” Bloomberg Intelligence's Phil Brendel and Negisa Balluku sat down with Mudrick at the Beard Group Distressed Investing Media Night on May 19 to discuss the evolving landscape for liability management exercises (LMEs). Mudrick shared his perspective on navigating complex restructurings, the strategic role of litigation and how changing legal loopholes and market dynamics are shifting tactics for distressed investors. He also reflects on high-profile past cases like AMC Entertainment and Party City, detailing how “irrationally high” market caps and management relationships affect investment outcomes.

In the latest episode of the TMA Chicago/Midwest Podcast, host and Katten Restructuring Partner Paul Musser sits down with Harold Israel and Jack O'Connor, partners in the Financial Services and Restructuring group at Levenfeld-Pearlstein, LLC. Together, they discuss the evolution of "bankruptcy" to "restructuring" law practices, the decision-making process for distressed companies facing the question of whether "to file or not to file" for bankruptcy, the potential non-bankruptcy alternative solutions at their disposal, and the potential for pre-packaged cases or Subchapter V as solutions for middle-market companies looking to reorganize in bankruptcy. They also share insights on the importance of becoming involved in professional organizations such as the TMA, as well as Harold and Jack's experiences as past TMA chapter presidents.

On this episode of the Old Capital Real Estate Investing Podcast, Paul Peebles and James Eng, take a deep dive into the dramatic shift happening across the multifamily housing market—and why today's uncertainty may create tomorrow's buying opportunities. After years of rapid appreciation, easy debt, and aggressive investor competition, the apartment market is experiencing a major reset. The discussion explores how the market evolved from the steady growth years of 2015–2020 into the buying frenzy of 2021–2022, when historically low interest rates and abundant capital drove prices to unsustainable levels. Properties routinely received dozens of tours and competing offers, pushing values to record highs. Now, with higher interest rates and tighter lending standards, the landscape has changed dramatically. Multifamily values in many markets have fallen 20–30%, refinancing has become increasingly difficult, and lenders are beginning to repossess properties that can no longer support their debt structures. Many listings entering the market today are lender-controlled or distressed assets—signs that the market may be approaching a bottoming phase. The episode also compares today's environment to previous real estate downturns, including the late 1980s savings-and-loan crisis and the 2008 financial collapse. One recurring lesson remains clear: excessive leverage, overbuilding, and risky loan structures eventually lead to painful corrections. But with disruption comes opportunity. Paul & James- discuss why experienced investors are preparing for a significant wave of multifamily buying opportunities in the coming years. Rather than focusing solely on today's cash flow metrics, investors may soon have the chance to acquire quality real estate at discounted "price-per-pound" valuations. The conversation also highlights common investor mistakes during market transitions: Moving too quickly without proper due diligence Investing purely for tax benefits Waiting endlessly for the "perfect" deal and missing opportunities altogether To help investors prepare for the next cycle, the episode introduces the Old Capital Accelerator Program—a hands-on educational and networking platform designed to bridge the gap between learning about apartment investing and actually closing deals. Topics Covered: Why multifamily prices are resetting The impact of rising interest rates on apartment owners Distressed assets and lender-owned opportunities Historical real estate cycles and lessons learned Investor psychology during downturns Building a disciplined acquisition strategy Why the next buying wave may reward prepared investors About the Old Capital Accelerator Program The Accelerator Program is designed for serious multifamily investors looking to transition from education into execution. Participants will experience: Interactive cohort-based learning Real property tours and deal analysis Weekly Zoom sessions with experienced operators Discussions on acquisitions, asset management, capital raising, and dispositions Access to seasoned GPs, LPs, and Old Capital professionals Practical underwriting experience and live deal feedback The program is intended for accredited investors and experienced professionals who are financially prepared to actively pursue apartment investments. Final Takeaway This episode is ultimately about preparation. Market dislocation often creates extraordinary buying opportunities—but only for investors who are educated, disciplined, and ready to act when the timing is right. The next multifamily cycle may already be forming. The question is: will you be ready when the opportunities arrive?

What if the biggest risk right now isn’t a bad deal - but doing nothing? While most buyers wait for the AI dust to settle, the ones who understand what’s happening are quietly buying assets at discounts that won’t exist a year from now. The shift isn’t theoretical. Digital Trends lost 90% of its Google traffic - from 8.5M clicks to 65K. HubSpot lost nearly half its organic traffic in two months. Atlassian dropped 35% as enterprise usage declined. Salesforce fell 28%. And Monday.com replaced a 24-person sales team with AI in minutes. This has already happened. So the real question isn’t if AI is reshaping the market - it’s whether you know which businesses are still worth buying, how to price the risk, and when to walk away. In this episode, Jaryd breaks down how to spot hidden value in “declining” assets, why some SaaS models are collapsing, and how AI risk can be used as leverage - not fear. Because the buyers winning right now aren’t panicking or waiting. They’re moving with a strategy.

As the demand for Class B office space plummets, the prices for these assets decline with it. These properties are often in Class A neighborhood locations in cities people love to live in with limited residential supply. Randy Kenna, Managing Director of Stanton Park Investors, is converting a 1986 Class B office building into 30 condominiums in Alexandria, Virginia, an 18th century enclave right outside of Washington D.C. Randy specializes in converting obsolete buildings into modern housing in the D.C metro. These conversions are complex and require institutional expertise in financing, operations and execution.

In this episode of The Wrap, Chris Whalen breaks down what he calls one of the most significant weeks in Fed history — Powell's final press conference as chairman, his decision to stay on as a Fed governor to block Trump from a second appointment, and what it means for Kevin Warsh walking into a hostile committee with the most dissenting votes since 1992. Chris explains why the Fed has been "the key engine of progressive socialism in Washington" since 1935, what a Warsh-led Fed actually looks like in practice, and why the Trump White House missed a political layup by not hanging "the burning tire of home price affordability" around Powell's neck. Plus: why sulfur — not oil — is the one word that sums up the biggest threat to the global economy right now, what China's sulfuric acid export ban means for copper, silver, and inflation, and why distressed real estate is "the next trade."Thank you to our partners at Goldco.

Neal Bawa is here today to discuss the investing intersection of real estate with ai science. Neil explains how he transitioned from a tech career into real estate by applying data science to identify high-performing markets, emphasizing that factors like job growth, population growth, income growth, home price trends, and crime reduction can significantly improve investment outcomes. He outlines how his team uses advanced analytics and AI tools to rank cities, analyze deals, and uncover insights that humans often miss, while also integrating AI deeply into company operations through structured systems like EOS. He highlights selective opportunities in distressed multifamily assets and emerging areas like senior housing, while cautioning that single-family and industrial assets remain expensive. We discuss...  Neil Bawa transitioned from tech to real estate, using it as a tax-efficient path to build long-term wealth. Key drivers of real estate performance include job growth, population growth, income growth, home price trends, and crime reduction. He developed a data-driven system to rank U.S. cities and identify high-performing markets like Madera, California. AI is deeply integrated into his company, with employees required to use it daily and contribute to building internal tools. AI improves efficiency and insight generation, even if it occasionally makes calculation errors. He expects modest interest rate declines in 2026, with mortgage rates around 6–6.3%. Home prices are likely to remain flat or grow slightly (1–2%) due to improving supply and demand dynamics. The "lock-in effect" from ultra-low pandemic-era mortgages has constrained housing supply and prevented price declines. As rates ease, more sellers and buyers are expected to re-enter the market, balancing prices. Multifamily real estate saw price declines with rising rates, unlike the single-family market. Distressed multifamily deals present niche opportunities, especially in overleveraged markets. The office sector is likely near a bottom, with gradual recovery driven by return-to-office trends and limited new supply. Private credit is growing but carries elevated risk, requiring careful selection of managers. Real estate overall is in a transitional phase after several challenging years, particularly for commercial sectors.
