John McNellis is a veteran real estate developer and founding partner of McNellis Partners, where he has spent more than four decades developing over 100 properties across Northern California, primarily supermarket anchored shopping centers. He started as a journalism major, went to law school, and practiced litigation for less than a year before shifting into real estate law, where he learned to structure large transactions and met the people who would fund his first deals. John built his first shopping center in 1983 alongside an older developer client and has worked with the same two partners, Beth Walter and Mike Powers, ever since. He is the author of Making It in Real Estate: Thriving as a Developer, now in its third edition, and writes a monthly column for the San Francisco Business Times and The Registry. ​​In this episode, John McNellis walks through 43 years of development, starting with a duplex he bought at 24 and ending with a firm that uses no outside capital at all. He explains how a law career gave him a shortcut into large deals, why he stopped raising money after his financial partners walked away during the early 1990s recession, and what he learned from losing a Sacramento shopping center in foreclosure. He also makes an argument most real estate podcasts avoid: keep your day job, because the failure rate in development is high and the cash flow takes years to arrive.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here.     Key Takeaways Learn large deal mechanics on someone else's payroll before risking your own capital Partner for the skills you lack, and accept that good partnerships can still end Weigh the control you surrender before accepting outside capital Owning 100% of a small deal can beat owning 1% of a large one Do not overpay, over leverage, or over develop     Topics From Journalism to Law to Development Practiced litigation for less than a year before moving to real estate law Legal work exposed him to eight figure deals, entity structures, and capital contacts Early Deals That Funded the Career Bought a duplex at 24 for $25,000 with roughly $1,500 down Traded up to a fourplex and turned $1,500 into $90,000 in about two years The First Shopping Center Partnered with a developer client who had construction expertise but could not sell John raised $1 million in equity at $25,000 per investor and handled the legal work Built in 1983, still owned today, mortgage paid off and renovated twice Why That Partnership Worked, and Why It Ended  The partnership ran 5 or 6 years, until neither needed the other  Beth Walter and Mike Powers joined in 1983 and remain his partners 43 years later The Developer as Conductor  John says he still knows nothing about construction after 80 odd buildings  Development requires an orchestra of partners, consultants, and contractors The Capital Ladder and Its Ceiling  Friends and family money is a booster rocket, useful until you run out of friends  Institutional capital costs more and carries total control over timing and exits What Non-Recourse Actually Means  Deregulation of savings and loans pushed money into commercial real estate in the 1980s  Financial partners walked away mid-project during the early 1990s recession  Non-recourse protects you from them and protects them from you Moving to Their Own Capital Only  John chose owning 100% of a small deal over a minority stake in a large one  The firm buys junk, fixes it, sells it as antiques, and funds the next deal Why He Tells Developers to Keep Their Day Job  Development can take three to six years before a property cash flows  John practiced law through his first ten years of investing  He cites a failure rate above 60% for development firms in their first decade

This Week In Startups is made possible by: YSecurity https://YSecurity.io/TWIST MongoDB https://MongoDB.com/ai Odoo https://Odoo.com/twist Today's show: AI models can solve PhD-level math equations and code an app in minutes… So why does everything they design look like identical slop? Thais Castello Branco, founder of Taste Labs, raised $18.5M in seed funding to teach frontier models about aesthetics and outputting quality content. She talks to Jason and Lon about why even frontier models regress to the mean on subjective tasks, how paid "TasteMakers" can improve output quality, and whether AI accelerates or destroys the half-life of "what's cool." PLUS Leopold Aschenbrenner's AI hedge fund liquidated its public stock portfolio, but it may be too soon to count this 25-year-old completely out. Google Earth adds AI generation and turns into a misinformation factory. LinkedIn and Substack join the AI slop crackdown. And why does every venture capitalist seem to have an opinion about the Ceuta border crisis?

Der Hedgefonds des 25-Jährigen Leopold Aschenbrenner, war vierfach gehebelt auf die KI-Rally gesetzt, lag im ersten Halbjahr 450 Prozent im Plus und musste dann innerhalb von Stunden fast alles verkaufen. Ken Griffins Citadel hat die Reste eingesammelt. Pip erklärt, wie Margin Calls funktionieren, warum so ein Blocktrade für den Käufer beinahe risikofreies Geld ist und welche drei Erklärungen es für Aschenbrenners Aufstieg gibt. Danach senkt OpenAI die Preise um bis zu 80 Prozent, was zu der Frage führt, ob es je eine Softwarekategorie gab, die so schnell billiger wurde. Es folgt die große Earnings-Runde mit Apple, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, Reddit und Robinhood, und die Beobachtung, dass zwei Konzerne für denselben Capex völlig unterschiedlich behandelt werden. In der Schmuddelecke will Josh Kushner Anteile an der Weltmeisterschaft kaufen, und Google Earth lässt jeden ein Atomkraftwerk in den Iran setzen.

De Europese Commissie heeft de aanbesteding geopend voor de bouw van maximaal zeven AI-gigafabrieken op Europees grondgebied. Dat zijn zeer grote datacenters, speciaal ontworpen om AI-modellen te trainen en te draaien. Brussel legt samen met deelnemende lidstaten 10 miljard euro in en hoopt nog zo'n 20 miljard euro aan particulier geld op te halen. Het doel is zo de groeiende achterstand op de Verenigde Staten en China te verkleinen. Rosanne Peters vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Consortia, techleveranciers, cloudaanbieders en overheden kunnen zich tot halverwege november aanmelden, waarna over een jaar de beslissing volgt. Met achttien maanden bouwtijd komt Europa in 2029 op in totaal 26 van deze gigantische datacenters. Het is een peuleschil vergeleken met de Amerikaanse concurrent. Het Nederlandse kabinet heeft al aangekondigd niet mee te doen, omdat hiervoor geen geld beschikbaar is. Google Earth krijgt AI-beeldgenerator Google Earth heeft er een AI-functie bij. Wie inzoomt op een plek, kan met de beeldgenerator Nano Banana 2 een nieuwe afbeelding van die locatie laten maken. Ook hoopt Google de functie een educatief randje te geven, door de mogelijkheid ergens een infographic van te maken met historische feitjes. Daar zit meteen de kanttekening bij dat informatie gegeven door een AI-model niet altijd voor waar moet worden aangenomen. Alles over het AI-gigafabriekeninitiatief van de Europese Commissie Brussel biedt 10 miljard euro voor zeven AI-gigafabrieken Frans consortium wil AI-gigafabriek van 10 miljard euro bouwen Waarom het kabinet niet meebetaalt aan de Europese gigafabrieken Google legt uit wat je met Nano Banana in Earth kunt Kritische blik op de nieuwe beeldfunctie in Google Earth Over de maker:Rosanne Peters is techredacteur en maakt De Grote Tech Show en De Technoloog. Sinds 2025 doet ze redactie- en productiewerk en is zij te horen in de Tech Update tijdens De Ochtend- en Avondspits. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With warm and lower water levels in many western rivers, there's no need to sit out those hoot owl regulations. Some of the reservoirs in the Rocky Mountains offer the same spectacular scenery as trout rivers, fewer people, and challenging fish that might get you into your backing. Orvis-Endorsed Guide of the Year Dustin White [36:42] shares his passion for carp fishing in Montana and gives us some solid tips for finding and catching them. In the Fly Box this week we have the following interesting questions and more: My cast keeps wrapping around my rod when doing the double haul. How can I fix this? What is the best way to approach a fly-fishing "personality" on the water? What should I do if I see someone violating fishing regulations? Is it ever appropriate to clear brush on a path to the river? What is the best way to evaluate a fly-fishing guide? Suggestions on a rod for fishing for sea bass. How should I approach a large pool with numerous fish rising. Should I work my way upstream or go to the biggest fish at the head of the pack? How can I find good redfish marshes using Google Earth? A listener suggests another instance of poor angling ethics—walking in front of an angler on the banks of a river.  A recommendation for a good rod for fishing for smaller bass.

It's a hot one at both microphones, as Elliot Williams and Kristina Panos wilt in the heat with ice lollies and freezer packs. But still, we persevered long enough to make a podcast. In Hackaday news, Supercon is on! It's going down in Pasadena, California, but the talks will be somewhere slightly larger, with a courtyard instead of an alley. Get your talk proposals in now! In other Hackaday news, we still have our Frikkin' Lasers Contest going on until Thursday, July 23rd. Interestingly enough, we got a comment on an older article from none other than [Michael J. Van de Graaff], whose grandfather invented the Van de Graff generator and was "quite upset" when plans for a DIY version appeared in Scientific American. And finally, Google Earth's desktop client is being discontinued, but you can still travel the globe on your phone, or in your PC's browser. Not only do we have another triple mailbag this week, we have another failed attempt at guessing the Sound by Kristina. However, [Alexander] knew that it was CD-ROM drive a-spinnin'. Speaking of What's That Sound, be sure to let us know your ideas for the new prize. That sounds like a lot of preamble, but we quickly get to a full slate of hacks, a couple of which are pretty retro in retrospect. Check out the links below if you want to follow along, and as always, tell us what you think about this episode in the comments!

Maps quietly run the entire oil and gas world, you just never noticed. This one breaks down GIS without the jargon, from Google Earth doodles to the software that decides exactly where to drill. Richard Webb and Zach Harlan of Exprodat explain how mapping tech places wells, dodges the neighbor's boundary, and powers everything from Zillow to the military. Plus drilling on Mars, conspiracy toll roads, and why there are no dumb questions when the whole planet is your dataset.

As director of Keyhole, Dave Lorenzini delivered the 3D Earth zooms that ran on CNN during the 2003 Iraq War — netting five million users in a month. Sergey Brin was one of them. Google bought the company and poured in billions to build, fuel, and serve maps. As Google Earth, it forever changed how we relate to space.From there: pioneering work on Google Glass, AR platforms, and running an immersive XR lab in Europe for Draw & Code exploring the future of spaces, places, and faces. Today Dave directs Quantum Studio, building World Agent and 4D ID — the "DNS for real space," an addressing layer where every place, object, and moment gets a name AI systems can agree on. His thesis: the next decade of AI won't run on better maps. AI needs an operating system for reality. Not a map. Not a database. A living, queryable foundation where every place on Earth answers for itself.AI XR News: The OpenAI vs. Musk trial continued with damaging testimony from Mira Murati and Greg Brockman.

In MobileViews 614, Jon Westfall and I were joined by frequent guest panelists Sven Johansson, and Don Sorcinelli discuss the highlights from Apple's recent Worldwide Developer Conference—or, as it we call it: the "Apple AI Conference". We also discussed the branding shift as my Google One 2TB plan was officially rebranded to Google AI Plus, signaling a broader industry trend toward AI-centric subscriptions. Don shared his experience with the Dreambeans experiment from Google Labs, which acts as a "really good sketch artist" by creating eerily accurate daily comic strips of your life based on calendar data and search history. This led to a deeper debate on the privacy vs. utility trade-off, contrasting Apple's "private cloud compute" architecture with Google's data-heavy personalization. The conversation turned to the shifting economics of AI, which I've dubbed the "drug dealer model". Companies are moving away from subsidized usage toward granular credit systems; for instance, Microsoft Copilot now consumes credits for simple tasks like opening large files or syncing handwriting. Despite these costs, "vibe coding" remains a game-changer. I shared how I used Google AI Studio to build a custom tool that summarizes the Techmeme River news feed and reads it back to me using an AI-synthesized voice, a task that took less time than brushing my teeth. Jon and I also lamented the current state of Siri, wishing it could handle multiple commands simultaneously rather than the current "one-step-at-a-time" limitation. We closed out with a look at the hardware horizon and a bit of tech nostalgia. While rumors swirl about AirPods with built-in cameras to help the user "see" the world, I was disappointed by the lack of any hints regarding a desktop Mac Neo. Our parenting discussion highlighted the iPad as the gold standard for managed digital access for toddlers, with Don choosing a strict "kiosk mode" approach to build good habits early. Finally, we reminisced about the original Microsoft Barney doll and the early days of Microsoft Flight Simulator (in context of the new Flight Simulator in Google Earth).

Send us Fan MailMy guest today is Aimie K. Runyan, author of Mademoiselle Eiffel, listed in the Visual Arts category on Art In Fiction.View the video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/_JcFmRQ4PcQWhy Aimie chose to write about Claire Eiffel rather than her more famous father, and the surprising role Claire played in running Gustave's household, social life, and business from the age of 14.The wax figure of Claire at the top of the Eiffel Tower, alongside Gustave and Thomas Edison, and the historical meeting it commemorates.How clothing functions as armor and identity in the novel, particularly Claire's corset as a symbol of constraint reframed as protection in a world not built for ambitious women.The invisible female labor at the heart of the story, and what Claire sacrificed, including her art and her choice of husband, to secure her place at her father's side.The opposition to the Eiffel Tower from artists, architects, and Gustave's own friend Garnier, and what the contrast between the Opéra Garnier and the tower reveals about two competing visions of modernity.Aimie's research trips to Paris and the Musée d'Orsay archives, where the Eiffel family correspondence, party menus, and letters from admirers have been preserved since 1981.What Aimie gained by returning to the archives after the story was already written.The Panama Canal scandal, Gustave's complicated legacy, and why writing through Claire's adoring lens required Aimie to be deliberately even-handed with a man who was "no more of a villain than your average rich man used to getting his own way."The oldest daughter narrative and why Claire's story resonates today, including a frank conversation about the undervaluing of women's labor and the difference between "emotional labor" and plain old mental load.Aimie's advice to writers on research: travel if you can, use Google Earth if you can't, never hesitate to contact museum curators, and know that one good research trip can fuel three books.Reading from the scene in Portugal where 14-year-old Claire organizes a workers' dinner and earns her first public acknowledgment from her father.Read more about Aimie K.

As director of Keyhole, Dave Lorenzini delivered the 3D Earth zooms that ran on CNN during the 2003 Iraq War — netting five million users in a month. Sergey Brin was one of them. Google bought the company and poured in billions to build, fuel, and serve maps. As Google Earth, it forever changed how we relate to space.From there: pioneering work on Google Glass, AR platforms, and running an immersive XR lab in Europe for Draw & Code exploring the future of spaces, places, and faces. Today Dave directs Quantum Studio, building World Agent and 4D ID — the "DNS for real space," an addressing layer where every place, object, and moment gets a name AI systems can agree on. His thesis: the next decade of AI won't run on better maps. AI needs an operating system for reality. Not a map. Not a database. A living, queryable foundation where every place on Earth answers for itself.AI XR News: The OpenAI vs. Musk trial continued with damaging testimony from Mira Murati and Greg Brockman.

There's a face carved in the earth that you were never meant to see. Visit https://themetaphysical.tv for uncensored After Hours episodes, exclusive content, and access to a library of 1,000+ mind-expanding videos on hidden history, forbidden knowledge, and otherworldly topics! What if one of the most mysterious, ancient images on the planet was never known to most people because it wasn't meant to be seen from the ground? Hidden in the Badlands near Medicine Hat in Alberta, Canada, there's something you can't find by hiking, driving, or exploring on foot. You can only see it from the sky. In 2005 while exploring Google Earth, a 53-year-old woman stumbled across something that stopped her in her tracks: a clearly defined human face etched into the clay rock landscape, a Native person with distinct features and what appears to be a feathered headdress. Today, it's known as the Badlands Guardian. And here's where it gets unsettling. If this image is truly ancient, as it's believed to be, then it shouldn't exist. The Blackfoot tribe historically living in the area had no known technology capable of carving something this massive, this precise, and this three-dimensional. It's not Mt. Rushmore in the side of a mountain. It's far older and more subtle, visible only from above. How did it get there? Is the Badlands Guardian a natural formation (pareidolia), or was it deliberately created? If it was created, then who made it and who was it meant to be seen by? Most importantly, why does it resemble a human figure so clearly that some say it borders on the impossible? This may be one of the most interesting cases of human pattern recognition ever recorded, something between incredible evidence of lost knowledge, ancient wisdom, and something spiritual all in one. Today on Metaphysical, take this mystery further than anyone else ever has. Dive in with investigative researcher Rob Counts and professional remote viewer John Vivanco for a show that's out of this world.

Au sud-ouest de l'océan Pacifique, entre l'Australie et la Nouvelle-Calédonie, une île a longtemps défié la logique. Son nom : Sandy Island. Le problème ? Elle n'existe pas.Pendant plus d'un siècle, cette île apparaît sur des cartes maritimes, puis sur des atlas modernes, et même sur des outils numériques comme Google Earth au début des années 2010. Une masse noire, bien dessinée, parfaitement localisée. Pourtant, personne ne l'a jamais vue.L'histoire commence au XIXe siècle. En 1876, le navire britannique Velocity signale la présence d'une île dans cette zone. À l'époque, les cartes sont encore approximatives, les instruments de navigation limités, et les erreurs fréquentes. L'information est néanmoins prise au sérieux et intégrée progressivement dans les relevés cartographiques.Au fil des décennies, Sandy Island s'installe dans les esprits… et surtout sur les cartes. Les atlas la reprennent sans vérifier. Les navigateurs l'évitent. Elle devient une évidence géographique, une vérité acceptée.Mais au XXIe siècle, quelque chose cloche. Les satellites n'observent rien à cet endroit. Une zone vide. De l'eau, uniquement de l'eau.En 2012, une équipe de scientifiques australiens décide d'aller vérifier. À bord du navire de recherche Southern Surveyor, ils mettent le cap vers les coordonnées exactes de l'île. À leur arrivée, surprise : aucun morceau de terre à l'horizon. Pire encore, leurs instruments indiquent une profondeur de plus de 1 400 mètres. Impossible qu'une île ait pu exister là récemment.Le mystère est enfin levé : Sandy Island est une “île fantôme”, une erreur cartographique transmise de génération en génération.Mais comment une telle erreur a-t-elle pu survivre aussi longtemps ? Plusieurs hypothèses existent. La plus probable est une confusion initiale : peut-être un amas de roches flottantes, de la pierre ponce issue d'une éruption volcanique, ou tout simplement une erreur de positionnement du navire au XIXe siècle.Ensuite, le phénomène classique de “copie sans vérification” a fait le reste. Une carte en inspire une autre, puis une autre encore. Et peu à peu, l'erreur devient une vérité.Ce cas fascinant rappelle une chose essentielle : même les connaissances que l'on croit solides peuvent reposer sur des bases fragiles. Pendant plus de cent ans, une île inexistante a occupé une place bien réelle dans notre représentation du monde.Sandy Island n'a jamais existé. Et pourtant, elle a été, pendant longtemps, parfaitement réelle… sur le papier. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Two different discoveries shed light on Earth's hidden past. One began with an ordinary Google Maps search that revealed a strange circular structure in Quebec - possibly a long-lost impact crater. The other centers on an ancient geological scar that may predate the continents themselves, offering clues to the violent forces that shaped the early planet. Both cases show how much of Earth's history is still buried in plain sight or hidden deep beneath its surface. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today we learn what happens to your body when you're struck by lightning, why some people don't feel anything, and why many victims believe they are human lightning rods. We find out about the one Minnesota town that is not on Google Earth, the reason they don't want to be included, and why we think they're hypocrites. We find out why some sick people who defy their terminal prognosis are mad when they continue to live. We find out what "microcheating" is and debate whether it's fair to get mad if your partner "likes" another person's pics on Instagram or sends flirty texts. We discuss an article that argued there is no such thing as psychopaths, and why we're pretty sure it was written by a psychopath.Join Susie and Sarah for The Brain Candy Podcast's 1000th episode celebration: https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/brain-candy-1000th-episode-event/00:00 - From Laryngitis to Lacrosse Vegas: Wild Parent Night Stories07:01 - Prepping for Pittsburgh & Our 1000th Episode Celebration11:35 - The Physical & Psychological Impact of Lightning Strikes27:58 - The Minnesota Town That Doesn't Want to Be on Google Earth36:53 - When Outliving a Terminal Prognosis Becomes a Problem51:07 - Is Liking Instagram Photos Considered Microcheating?1:00:12 - Debunking Psychopaths and Body Shaming Hitler (Allegedly)Brain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Go to https://thrivecausemetics.com/braincandy for an exclusive offer of 20% off your first order.Get $10 off your first month's subscription and free shipping when you visit https://nutrafol.com and enter promo code BRAINCANDYTDM-RESERVATION: 1.

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Molly Roberts, Tyler McBrien, and Renée DiResta to talk through the week's big national security news stories, including:“The Meta-verse of Madness.” On Tuesday, a New Mexico jury reached a $375 million verdict against Meta after a seven-week trial that focused on whether the social media company knowingly harmed children's mental health and facilitated child sexual exploitation through its algorithms. And just before recording, another verdict came down in a jury trial in California about whether Facebook and YouTube are too addictive in a way that harms an individual plaintiff in that case. Several other similar civil cases are set to go to trial in the coming months. What do we make of these verdicts, and do they signal a turning tide against social media companies for the algorithms that make them both profitable and (potentially) addictive?“SAVE-ing Face.” President Trump and Republican congressional leaders went back and forth this week over a deal that would put forward a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security, or at least less controversial parts of it, despite Trump's threats not to sign any pieces of legislation until Congress passes his SAVE America Act. Trump views the SAVE America Act as vindication for his criticisms of the 2020 Election, but Republicans in the Senate have hedged and resisted his calls to blow up the filibuster in order to pass it. Instead, they now appear to have a deal in place that will allow less controversial parts of the funding for DHS to go forward—and for the funding for the most controversial parts, particularly ICE and removal operations, to go forward through reconciliation on what is likely to be a party line vote, along with select chunks of that SAVE America Act. Why is Trump so determined to pass the SAVE America Act? And what does the compromise he now appears to have reached with Senate Republicans mean for its future?“Poly Wants a Crack-up.” Flight monitors, pizza place trackers, and Google Earth—the past few years have brought open source intelligence, better known as “OSINT,” into vogue. Accounts on X have racked up millions of followers by “monitoring the situation” for news events spanning from Russia's invasion of Ukraine to natural disasters. But this explosion of OSINT accounts has brought a wave of disinformation, and coincides with the growth of online prediction markets, such as Polymarket and Kalshi, whose bettors use OSINT to gain an advantage — and, at times, to manipulate the results. How has OSINT contributed to the online media landscape? And how has it hurt it?In object lessons, Tyler engages in some classic log-rolling with a recommendation of the new podcast, “Who Blew Up the Guidestones?” Molly digs even deeper into her collection of curiosities to find her vintage “Nuke ‘Em 'Til They Glow” hat. Scott expertly sidesteps sports gambling issues by distracting us with delicious baked good from Seylou. And Renée survives a demanding travel schedule by drinking a brandy Old Fashioned and brushing up on her knowledge of K-pop.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

Dr. Jordan Romano is an Ivy League–trained physician who has built a strong real estate portfolio not by chasing headlines or spreadsheets—but by going extremely hyper-local, staying curious, and learning to see what others overlook. Jordan shares how he uses on-the-ground observation, municipal GIS tools, zoning knowledge, and simple pattern recognition to uncover opportunities that don't show up in a typical MLS search. One of his most creative wins: realizing a single-family home sat on nearly an acre of land, then successfully subdividing it into three buildable lots. This episode dives into how he thinks, how he evaluates properties, and how he adapts in a shifting market. We cover: Why hyper-local knowledge beats long-distance spreadsheets The power of curiosity: constantly asking, "What am I missing?" How municipal maps, zoning meetings, and Google Earth reveal hidden value A step-by-step look at his subdivision deal How he leveled up from a condo to a three-unit via a clean 1031 exchange Why he sticks to B-class rentals for resilience in all market cycles A tough lesson learned about rejecting pet-owning tenants Why he only invests in one small region—and how that protects him How he uses AI for negotiation, deal clarity, and even diagnosing a broken toilet This is a practical, detailed, and refreshingly honest look at what happens when you invest deeply in one market and understand it at street level.

What if your best real estate deal finder isn't Zillow—but your town's planning board meeting? In this episode of the Massive Passive Cash Flow Podcast, Gary Wilson sits down with Dr. Jordan Romano—physician, investor, and hyperlocal real estate strategist. Jordan shares how he built a multi-property portfolio in New Hampshire by studying zoning meetings, analyzing parcel maps with Google Earth, and understanding seasonal buying patterns in a college and medical town. Instead of chasing trends, Jordan focused on gaining an information advantage: buying discounted properties in the off-season, sourcing deals through FSBO listings, and targeting B-class rentals that stay resilient across market cycles. He also explains why understanding local tenant laws, planning board decisions, and major employers like hospitals and universities can dramatically improve your investment strategy. Key Takeaways: Why hyperlocal research can uncover deals others miss How planning board meetings and zoning data reveal future development Why B-class rentals can be the most stable investment lane How renting to medical professionals and stable industries protects cash flow Why the best strategy isn't chasing markets—it's mastering one market deeply If you're looking to build long-term wealth through buy-and-hold real estate, this episode is packed with practical strategies you can start applying today.

In Part 2 with Curtis Copeland (GIS manager, cartographer, and co-host of Ozark Folk Chronicles) we dive deep into the hidden power behind maps. From OnX hunting layers and lidar data to property boundaries and Google Earth, this episode unpacks how digital mapping influences how we hunt, fish, build, conserve, and even define the Ozarks themselves. If you use trail cams, depth finders, AllTrails, or drop pins before a public land hunt, this conversation will completely change how you see the world. Curtis explains why maps are interpretive, not neutral, how data is gathered (from aerial lidar to crowdsourcing), and why companies like OnX depend on massive public and private datasets. We talk about mental maps, the Age of Discovery, political boundaries, bathymetry from fishing electronics, and how GIS can either expose fragile swimming holes or protect entire watersheds. This episode is about stewardship as much as technology, how better data can lead to better conservation in the Ozarks, if we use it wisely.

In the Ozarks, people have always lived in rhythm with the natural world. Hunting, fishing, and living off the land, aren't just things we do, it's who we are. And though our lives are inextricably linked to the land we live on, we've never been more disconnected from it. So join us, as we travel across the region to bring you the voices of the Ozarks to deepen your connection with the land, sharpen your skills in the outdoors, and help you learn what it means to be an Ozarker.
