This week, Candice and Malessa sit down with Cathey Kuo, a commercial real estate broker, investor, and principal at Elite Commercial Real Estate in Las Vegas. Cathey shares how she got her start analyzing deals alongside her mother in high school, what it takes to transition from residential into commercial investing, and how she evaluates risk and opportunity in a market still navigating high office vacancy rates and shifting demand post-COVID. She also breaks down the power of 1031 exchanges as a tool for repositioning portfolios and preserving generational wealth through tax-efficient strategy.  Plus, the hosts explore the lock-in effect and how golden-era mortgage rates are keeping the housing market frozen. With a large share of homeowners holding sub-4 percent mortgages, sellers aren't listing, inventory is tight, and first-time buyers are running out of room. They dig into what it might take to finally break the gridlock.  Filmed as part of the Mastery of Real Estate (MORE) Network, powered by Brown Harris Stevens.

This week, Candice and Malessa sit down with Jude Bernard, a NYC-based real estate investor, broker, and general contractor who built a significant portfolio of brownstones and rental properties across Brooklyn and Harlem. Jude shares how combining construction, brokerage, and investing gives him control over the full lifecycle of a deal, the risks and realities of operating short-term rentals in one of the most regulated cities in the country, and how value-add strategy has been central to growing his portfolio. He also opens up about the mission behind The Brooklyn Bank, his financial literacy and real estate education platform focused on helping underserved communities close the racial wealth gap through property ownership. Plus, the hosts unpack one of the biggest forces keeping housing inventory frozen: the lock-in effect. With nearly 60 percent of American homeowners holding mortgage rates under 4 percent, sellers aren't selling — and the ripple effects are pricing out first-time buyers and stalling the market.

Most investors are leaving capital on the table — not because it isn't there, but because their loan officer doesn't know how to get it out.In this episode, we sit down with Ben Stef, founder of Funding Freedom and mortgage loan advisor through Nexa Mortgage. Ben specializes in the creative financing tools most traditional lenders won't touch: DSCR loans, second-position rental equity lines, and programs that let investors keep scaling without refinancing, without waiting, and without giving up the low rates they locked in. He grew from $40K to over $250K a year — largely through YouTube — and built his entire brand around making complicated financing accessible to everyday investors.In this interview, you'll learn:•        What a DSCR loan is and why it's the ultimate tool for scaling an investment portfolio•        How second-position equity lines close in 1-2 weeks on LLC-held properties (where traditional banks won't go)•        The defense-first framework for qualifying: credit, assets, and reserves before you invest•        Why Rocket, Guaranteed Rate, and other big lenders don't offer these programs — and what that means for investors•        How to vet a loan officer: the one question that reveals if they've actually done the deal•        The right-now money vs. next-year money framework for agents and lenders building their brand•        How Ben went from $40-50K to $250K+ per year by posting YouTube videos nobody watched for two years"Can you work in the dark without anyone cheering you on? That's the question that determines whether you actually build something."Find Ben Stef: Search "Ben Stef Funding Freedom" on YouTube or visit his Substack for weekly creative financing breakdowns.

On the latest episode of the FutureSox Podcast Ian Eskridge and James Fox welcomed From the 108's Beefloaf on to discuss White Sox Org business.

They moved on to the recent rumored candidates for manager of the White Sox in 2025. Who is the play? All three sound off on what the positives and negatives are for the candidates and who they ultimately think will end up in the dugout. Will they be able to grab multiple candidates to fill the vacancies in the dugout and coaching staff or will they let their manager choose his coaching staff? They came down the stretch of the show answering the questions: what does a successful 2025 look like for the organization and what is the expected timeline and events for the 2025 offseason? Beefloaf runs through his thoughts on the topics from several different viewpoints to give some answers.

Should you hold on to that long-time rental or trade it in for something else? Many people say you should hold forever, but is that always the best way to go? In this episode, you'll hear when it might make sense to break that rule for the sake of better cash flow or better appreciation. We call this process “portfolio rebalancing.” Among the topics we discuss are property performance reviews, portfolio diversification and risk management, the 1031 exchange, investing at different life stages, and when it might be best to sell or to hold on to your investment properties for the long-term. Joining me to discuss your options are two of our experienced and long-time RealWealth investment counselors, Joe Torre and Aristotle Kumpis. They are active investors who have been advising RealWealth investors for many years. Joe began investing in real estate in 2004 and has a track record of success in both up and down markets. Before he came on board with RealWealth he worked as a data analyst for tech companies in Silicon Valley and served in the U.S. Marine Corps. He has an MBA in Finance from Columbia University Business School in New York. He enjoys helping people create generational wealth. Aristotle got his real estate license in 2007 and has been helping investors find cash-flowing rental properties since then. He was inspired by his parents who owned rental properties in St. Louis, where he grew up. He attended the University of Missouri in Saint Louis and moved to Southern California in 2002. He also likes to write music and spend time outdoors, especially with his family. During the interview, we mentioned a recent webinar on real estate lending with Richard Advani of Guaranteed Rate.
