On this episode of Multifamily Mastery, John Casmon interviews Georgy Marrero. Georgy shares his journey from coding prodigy to Big Tech (Amazon/Meta) and why he pivoted into real estate after early single-family flips led him toward multifamily, development, and industrial deals across the U.S. and Dominican Republic. He breaks down his operator-first framework (operator → market → asset), emphasizes downside protection through conservative debt and buying at a discount, and explains his AI-driven 21-point market screen. Georgy also details how he uses AI to scale capital raising, compress underwriting from hours to minutes, and tighten asset/development oversight with computer-vision tools.

The world is swinging to the negative pole,Getting more dangerous all the time.It's not enough to take care of myself,When so many others are falling behind.☉ After recording the Pele Report I inevitably think of all the things I forgot to say! I have two major points today. One is, yes, I spoke about the boys/men but what about the girls/women? The thing is that the Scott Galloway podcast was about men but there is definitely a crisis also occurring with our young women. The attempts to look like the fashion queens on IG, FB, Tik Tok and elsewhere is causing tremendous stress and depression among many teens. There's so much more to say but suffice it to say that all our young people are deeply challenged these days. Secondly, there is another big problem and that is that much of our youth is not being taught how to deal with failure. They are taught how to win and how to succeed as if it was all that was going to happen. They are not being informed of the need for resilience or how to pick themselves up after a fall, a rejection, or a failure. “Too much parenting offline and too little parenting online,” is a quotable quote from Scott. Helicopter parents circling their children so as to protect them from any harm life may inflict can overprotect to the point of even denying their child did fail when he/she did! “It's OK honey, that test was stupid and you shouldn't pay any attention to the results.” Secondly, the kids can be told to be frightened of just about anything/everything to where they are completely afraid of the unknown, lose confidence in their ability to handle crises, and remain in limiting realities as a result. This week, and for a long time to come, let's all take some time and energy to serve our youth which is serving our future. Venus in Leo = love children!Trevor and Scott: https://youtu.be/_i11gj-iq1I?si=QHG7m...This week's song is by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, "Teach Your Children": https://youtu.be/KAu1T6syiD4?si=fRghr...⁠Come join me in the Dominican Republic next March! https://bit.ly/45gxeDfSo Much Love,Kaypacha☉

He began his legal career as a clerk to an Administrative Law Judge at the United States Department of Justice, Executive Office for Immigration Review. Crosstalk receives daily updates from the Department of Homeland Security listing the arrests of what they call: The worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens. Jim listed a number of recent offenders originating from South Korea, Colombia, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua and Laos. Supporting such individuals are governors and mayors who are "digging in their heels" and who apparently would rather sacrifice the safety and security of their residents than remove those individuals who are here illegally. In addressing this issue, Jim had Andrew comment on a wide variety of concerns. For example: The legitimacy of asylum claims and whether this is overwhelming the judicial system. What we can learn from the news story of the illegal alien who made a U-turn that took the lives of 3 people while driving an 18 wheeler in Florida. How the Biden administration's border policies had border patrol agents so overwhelmed, personnel were very limited in terms of what they could do to stop illegal drugs from crossing the border. The latest on Kilmar Abrego Garcia, obstruction attempts such as those to shut down "Alligator Alcatraz," unaccompanied alien children and much more.

Before she published her debut novel, Neruda on the Park, she spent 20 years in corporate America. She knew she needed to make a change, but it was life-changing grief that finally propelled her forward. Now with her second novel, The Grand Paloma Hotel, Cleyvis is rejecting the notion that compartmentalization is necessary for success. Set in the Dominican Republic, the writer's birthplace, with an anti-hero Latina protagonist who is climbing the corporate ladder, Cleyvis weaves together parts of her life that she once sought to keep separate. The result is a can't-put-it-down page turner that begs the question: what is the true cost of extreme luxury?

Now is the time to clean up my act,And get it all together.Roll up my sleeves and get down on my knees,If I have to to make it all better.☉Come join me in the Dominican Republic next March! Alright, can't say it's looking like an easy weekend this weekend! Beside the Sun, Pluto, Saturn, and Neptune yod that is effective pretty much all week, we also have the Sun square Uranus and Venus square Chiron. All of these astrological aspects point to the need for us to GO ALTERNATIVE in everything we say, do, investigate, create, believe, and love, the list is endless. These alternative approaches may not come easy, in fact, the more we resist and try doing things in the same old same old way, the more we may be blocked, stopped, or challenged.So, if someone is telling you not to do things that way, it might be best to try and listen rather than tell them to go away. In fact, Mars in Libra favors co-creation. If someone wants to contribute, help you out, and chip in, even though they do things a little differently than you, again, it may be good to enlist their support rather than trying to go it alone all the time.As I mentioned in the report, it can be humbling to ask for help. Our Virgo desire for control (so nobody else messes it up) and perfection will benefit from some flexibility and experimentation. We always have the choices and this week is about choosing teamwork over going solo, humility over “I can do it better,” patience and forgiveness over “Get out of my way,and giving over taking. To bring in this age of Aquarius which has a focus on community and friendships, we will all need to break some of the competitive programming we've received since whenever. This is a good week to go for perfection in your own unique way, not comparing or competing with anyone but encouraging them to contribute their unique gifts also. The more the merrier! Enjoy the process, it's all there is!This week's song is "Whip it!" by Devo! https://youtu.be/j_QLzthSkfM?si=fTZPDNiMm1EYEjnD☉⚡ ⁠Join The New Paradigm School of Astrology⁠

Vernon Oakes interviews Ginger Rumph, Executive Director of the Douglass Community Land Trust (Douglass CLT), and Silvia Inéz Salazar, Co-president of the 1417 N Street, NW Cooperative. Together, they explore the collaboration between their organizations and share insights into their ongoing initiatives. Ginger Rumph is the founding Executive Director of the Douglass CLT, a nonprofit dedicated to racial and economic equity through community-led land ownership and permanently affordable housing. While establishing Douglass CLT, she also led City First Homes, overseeing over 200 affordable units and implementing strong stewardship systems.

She mobilized residents against displacement and gentrification, building partnerships with legal, government, and community organizations. Silvia collaborated with the Latino Economic Development Center to produce The Demise of Condo-Zilla, a bilingual children's play that brought media attention to their struggle. She also led a partnership with the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian to showcase Mayan art by tenants. Legal efforts secured $500,000 in pro bono support, ultimately helping residents purchase the building and form a cooperative.

Born in 1850, Sarah Loguen found her calling as a child, when she helped her parents and Harriet Tubman bandage the leg of an injured person escaping slavery. When the Civil War ended and Reconstruction opened up opportunities for African Americans, Loguen became one of the first Black women to earn a medical license. But quickly, racist Jim Crow laws prevailed. At the urging of family friend Frederick Douglass, Loguen married and, with her new husband, set sail for the Dominican Republic where more was possible for a person of color. This is her story.This Best Of episode, which first aired in September 2023, is also available in a Spanish adaptation, narrated by Laura Gómez.

While there are different kinds of pressure,Physical, emotional, mental and more,They all perform a similar function,Of forcing me to open and go through the door.☉Join me in the Dominican Republic! With Mercury still opposite Pluto, both square Lilith in Scorpio, and Mars still opposite Saturn, we're feeling some pressure! There is both internal pressure that we put on ourselves and external pressure that comes from outside ourselves, but let's make no mistake about it, both Pressure increases and increases until it is so uncomfortable that we are forced to look at things and in directions that we had heretofore avoided in order to both explain the pressure and release or escape it. Truth emerges from the depths as our feelings of comfort are disturbed. Yes, it's annoying, frustrating, and can be depressing and anger producing.However, there are two very important and exciting results that can happen through processing pressure. The first is that we get grounded in reality, have to cut the BS and face the truth. Sometimes this is humbling and embarrassing as we have to admit our limits, need for help, and sensitivities. A secondary result of this is deeper intimacy with whoever reflected these truths back to you.Secondly, we have to be creative!!! It's so intense and uncomfortable that enough pressure will bring us to the point of changing things that we otherwise would not (just to ease the pressure). This often requires us to brainstorm new solutions and take new approaches to people and situations in our lives that we have either been hesitant to take, refusing to take, or unaware of before the pressure. So let's use this time to go deep and get to the truth so we can re-emerge next year with mind blowing new creations!Under Pressure! https://youtu.be/fCP2-Bfhy04?si=i6-c7P_HvP50ETWYSo Much Love, Kaypacha ☉⚡ Join The New Paradigm School of Astrology

His track record has made him one of the most respected operators in the door-to-door industry.Jeff reflects on his early life in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, sharing how his father's bold conversion story and a childhood shaped by grit and cultural pride gave him a lasting sense of identity.
