What if some of your best real estate opportunities aren't traditional leads—they're people with problems you can actually solve?In this solo episode, Chris shares how he went from making $25,000 a year in ministry to finding his first real estate deals by literally knocking on the doors of homeowners facing foreclosure. He explains how massive imperfect action helped him get started, why distressed properties became a foundation of his real estate business, and how agents can apply the same principles today.Chris breaks down two major sources of opportunity: building deep referral relationships with professionals like estate attorneys, financial planners, divorce attorneys, and CPAs, and using curated data to identify homeowners who may be more likely to need real estate help. He also explains why better lists, better tools, and consistent follow-up can dramatically improve the effectiveness of your prospecting.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why massive imperfect action can beat waiting until you know exactly what you're doing How distressed-property opportunities helped Chris build his real estate business How to build referral relationships with estate attorneys, financial planners, divorce attorneys, and CPAs How curated data can help you “hunt where the ducks are” instead of blindly cold callingHow to prioritize an existing database based on which contacts are most likely to sell The simple combination Chris recommends: referral partners + targeted data + working the list consistentlyConnect with Chris:Instagram: @craddrockFacebook: Chris Craddock BusinessRESOURCES:

To demonstrate how the modern bankruptcy system often feels prepackaged and inevitable, Brown Rudnick's Robert Stark compares the current state of Chapter 11 to a trip to the local bureaucracy: “We could do everything that is being done now by setting up bankruptcy at a DMV, go cut your deal in the back room, bring your $60 check, stand in line, and get a rubber stamp by the DMV.” Stark and Houlihan Lokey's Saul Burian join Bloomberg Intelligence analysts Negisa Balluku and Phil Brendel to explore the increasing friction in today's bankruptcy courts, including the consequences of judge-led mediation, the rise of aggressive DIP financing features like roll-ups and post-reorg equity packages, and the debate over the true neutrality of “independent” directors. The podcast concludes with a look at the restructuring outlook and a discussion about the surprising return of “dumb frauds” catching major Wall Street institutions off guard. Cases mentioned include First Brands Group, Multi-Color Corp., Del Monte, J&J, BlockFi, 3M and American Tire.

In this episode of Ask Mike Mondays, Paul and Michael discuss improving apartment fundamentals, lender-driven sales, distressed opportunities, and why today's reset in values could create an attractive buying window. They also introduce the Old Capital Accelerator Program and Michael shares three simple rules he's learned from decades of multifamily investing. Old Capital Accelerator Program Paul introduces the Old Capital Accelerator, a hands-on multifamily education program designed to help investors move from learning about apartments to evaluating and pursuing real opportunities. Participants work with actual deals, learn underwriting and financing, understand due diligence and operations, and gain access to experienced owners and industry professionals. The focus is real-world education and experience—not promoting a particular sponsor or investment. Learn more: oldcapitalaccelerator.com What's Happening in Multifamily? The market remains unpredictable. Many sellers still have yesterday's pricing expectations, while buyers are underwriting based on today's higher interest rates, expenses, and required returns. Meanwhile, lenders are increasingly influencing which properties come to market—sometimes pushing over-leveraged borrowers toward a sale or foreclosure. Some properties are now trading near values last seen years ago, creating what Michael describes as a potential "lost decade" in apartment values for certain owners. Are Fundamentals Improving? Despite negative headlines, Michael is seeing encouraging signs across SPI Advisory's portfolio: • DFW properties are now 90%+ occupied • Portfolio-wide occupancy is approximately 95% • Apartment absorption remains strong across DFW, Austin, and San Antonio • New construction is slowing • Concessions could decline as excess supply is absorbed The key point: apartment values have fallen significantly, but renter demand remains strong. Is This a Buying Opportunity? Investor sentiment remains cautious, but fundamentals are beginning to stabilize. Today's buyers may benefit from lower valuations, less competition, improving occupancy, slowing new supply, available debt capital, and significant tax benefits. Equity remains difficult to raise, which could create an advantage for experienced investors with capital and the ability to execute. Michael believes today's risk-adjusted opportunities—particularly in workforce housing—may be among the most attractive in years. Michael Becker's 3 Rules of Multifamily Investing Rule #1: Don't buy in the hood. A cheap property isn't necessarily a good investment. Rule #2: The business isn't always fair. Track record, credibility, and relationships matter. Rule #3: Don't be a jerk. Multifamily is a relationship business. Your reputation follows you—and compounds over time. Key Takeaway The multifamily market isn't suddenly easy again. Distressed properties can be complicated, equity remains challenging, and buyers and sellers still don't always agree on value. But values have reset, occupancy is improving, new supply is slowing, and debt capital is available. For disciplined investors, this could create one of the more interesting acquisition windows we've seen in years.   Old Capital Accelerator: oldcapitalaccelerator.com SPI Advisory: spiadvisory.com

The World Cup summer is now a fading memory, but with the Premier League back, Cloud 9fin's Distressed Diaries keeps football in focus while shining a light on the sector's financial difficulties. Football clubs were traditionally bankrolled by wealthy men. Successful businessmen channelled their buccaneering instincts into their favourite sport, splurging wealth they made elsewhere. The latest in this long line, Jeff Bezos, Amazon's founder, is set to buy a stake in Liverpool as part of a consortium led by British-Indian millionaire businessman Amit Bhatia.But rising costs, including eye-watering player salaries and transfer fees, has meant that one man's opulence, however fabulous, is not enough to save a struggling business. Not least in an industry as money-guzzling as professional football.As a result, clubs resorted to borrowed money and a great many have struggled to pay that money back.In this episode of Distressed Diaries, host and senior reporter Bianca Boorer and distressed debt reporter Aditya Anand Kumar speak with Owen Ormond, restructuring partner at Ward Hadaway about the rise of distress in football clubs in Europe, the extent to which regulation can control club owners' profligacy and the role of alternative types of credit.

Senior housing investing is drawing capital as demographics tighten the supply of beds. Rod Khleif hosts Lifetime Cashflow Through Real Estate Investing, and his coaching students own more than 305,000 multifamily units. He joins Alternative Investing Advantage host Alex Perny to explain why he has moved part of his focus into assisted living and memory care.Key Points:- Roughly 10,000 people a day turn 80 in this country, and Rod says construction is running at about 4 percent of projected need. The gap is the thesis.- Distressed multifamily is trading below replacement cost. Operators who bought in 2021 through 2023 on adjustable or bridge debt now face maturities they cannot refinance or sell into.- Debt service coverage is the constraint lenders care about. With sales down sharply and rates elevated, many owners are caught between refinancing they cannot qualify for and a sale they do not want.- Assisted living underwrites differently than apartments. Payroll, food, and management costs scale with resident count and level of care, which makes the pro forma more complex than a unit-based model.- The operator determines the outcome. Rod does the real estate and partners on care, and he screens for track record, complaint history, systems, and staff culture.Chapters:00:00 Introduction: senior housing and commercial real estate01:09 How Rod Khleif got into real estate and what 2008 taught him04:57 Why multifamily is in distress right now07:50 Finding distressed deals and raising capital11:37 Debt service coverage and the lending environment14:20 The demographic case for assisted living18:00 Independent living, assisted living, and memory care22:31 How to evaluate a senior housing property26:57 Vetting operators and common mistakes31:19 Where operational failures create opportunity33:56 How to connect with Rod KhleifSubscribe to our YouTube channel and join our growing community for new videos every week.If you are interested in being a podcast guest speaker or have questions, contact us at Podcast@AdvantaIRA.com.Learn more about our guest, Rod Khleif: https://rodkhleif.com/Learn more about Advanta IRA: https://www.AdvantaIRA.com/ https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/advanta-ira https://www.linkedin.com/company/Advanta-IRA/ https://twitter.com/AdvantaIRA https://www.facebook.com/AdvantaIRA/ https://www.instagram.com/AdvantaIRA/#SeniorHousing #CommercialRealEstate #AssistedLiving

Hi, I'm Connor with Honor - message me here!Data drives real estate. If you are working off outdated numbers, you do not understand the market you are actually standing in. Here are today's real Santa Clarita Valley numbers, pulled straight from the CRMLS feed plugged into SantaClaritaOpenHouses.com.TODAY'S SCV NUMBERS, AUGUST 12 2026• 825 active listings, covering single family residences, condos, and townhomes• 176 properties currently in escrow• 39 closed sales in the last 7 days• Roughly 30% of current escrows will fall out, and that is normal, not a crisis• Distressed property (short sales, foreclosures, bank owned) is only 1 to 2% of this marketWHAT ELSE IS IN THIS EPISODECondo or townhome, the difference people always ask about. A condominium is typically a single level, no upstairs or downstairs, usually sharing walls and ceilings with neighboring units. A townhome is typically multiple stories. Ground floor is easier if stairs are a problem. Top floor means nobody walking above you, but you are carrying groceries up. On both, check the parking configuration carefully. Some units have direct garage access into the home, some open onto a common pathway, and some Vista del Canyon units in Canyon Country have a private yard between the garage and your door. Diamond Head in Stevenson Ranch is another layout worth walking before you decide.Why about 30% of escrows fall out. People hear that number and assume the market is in trouble. It is not. Buyers get cold feet. Somebody hears something on the news. A relative intervenes. It is spread across the board rather than concentrated in property condition, and it is a normal feature of this market rather than a warning sign.Everybody becomes an expert. The moment you start thinking about buying or selling, every person in your life turns into a real estate genius. Your coworker practically stole his house. Your relative knows a guy. My actual advice is do not dismiss them and do not obey them either. Take it to your agent and ask. If Stan at work bought a short sale under market three years ago, ask what the market was doing then and whether that play still exists today. Usually it does not, because distressed inventory is 1 to 2% and most of it gets handled before it ever reaches the open market.The warning nobody else gives you. If you use the big online portals to find out what your home is worth, understand the trade you are making. Whatever information you hand those systems gets sold to the highest bidder, and the buyers are mostly agents and lenders who want your personal private information.SEE THE DATA YOURSELF, FREEI put 11 years of sold data on my site so you do not have to guess:https://santaclaritaopenhouses.comWATCH THE VIDEOhttps://youtu.be/WBr3jrlJHgoTHINKING ABOUT SELLING?I work sellers-only, full-service representation.

If you've been watching real estate content lately, you've probably heard a fresh wave of people telling you rates are finally about to come down. In this video, I'll walk through why I'm reading it differently, and what it means for the deals in front of you. Here's what happened. Headline inflation cooled to 3.5%, below the 3.8% forecast, and core eased to 2.6%. Energy prices fell as the Iran ceasefire took the pressure off, and the market immediately started pricing in cuts. On the surface, it looks like the all-clear. But I've said the same thing for two years: higher for longer. One soft, energy-driven month doesn't undo the structural picture, and the Fed meets this week still expected to hold. Warsh has signaled he'll follow the data - and if energy flares back up, as it nearly did again this month, that clear path to cuts narrows fast. So what does that mean for you and me? It means a lot of investors are about to underwrite their next deal on a cut that isn't promised. And it means the rest of us have to stay discriminating, factoring today's rates - not tomorrow's hopes - 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 still coming into the market at a basis where the cash-on-cash return actually works. And single-family residential, which tends to be 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.

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.

In this episode of The Private Equity Podcast, Alex Rawlings speaks with Russ Roenick, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Transom Capital, about building a differentiated middle-market investment strategy around carve-outs, special situations and operational complexity.Russ explains how launching Transom shortly before the global financial crisis shaped the firm's highly hands-on approach. 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.

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?
