Alicia Miller joins PassivePockets to break down Qualified Opportunity Zones, why they matter for real estate investors, and how they can fit into an active-to-passive transition strategy. Chris and Alicia start with the basics: what a QOZ is, how the original program worked, and why investors with capital gains from selling real estate, a business, or other appreciated assets may want to understand this structure before making their next move. They walk through the key differences between QOZ investing and a 1031 exchange, including why QOZs only require investors to reinvest the capital gain, not the full sale proceeds, and why the money does not need to be held by a qualified intermediary. Alicia also explains the original QOZ timeline, the upcoming shift into QOZ 2.0, and how the new version creates a rolling five-year capital gains deferral with a 10% reduction, or 30% for qualifying rural investments. Chris and Alicia also dig into a timely QOZ 1.0 strategy: using a valuation study on a development project that has broken ground but is not yet cash flowing. Alicia explains how this could potentially create an upfront capital gains deduction before the original program sunsets, why the timing matters, and how investors should think about the trade-offs between tax benefits, development risk, and long-term hold periods. Key takeaways: What Qualified Opportunity Zones are and why they were created How QOZs can help landlords move from active ownership into passive investments Why QOZs differ from 1031 exchanges in timelines, reinvestment rules, and flexibility How QOZ 1.0 allowed investors to defer gains until the end of 2026 and potentially receive deductions based on hold period What changes under QOZ 2.0, including rolling five-year deferrals and new zone designations Why the 10-year hold remains the major long-term tax benefit for QOZ investors How valuation studies may create a unique window for certain QOZ 1.0 development investments Join a community of passive investors.

From energy's massive 43.71% year-to-date surge to gold hitting historic record highs above $4,400, they explore where market strength lies, how inflation is weighing heavily on consumer sentiment, and what to expect from upcoming Fed policy decisions.

Bitcoin got as high as roughly $81,300 overnight and still couldn't maintain $80K. The battle is getting clearer. ETF demand remains strong, with another $242 million entering U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs Thursday and roughly $3 billion arriving during nine consecutive positive sessions, but traders keep taking profits above $80K. The real breakout probably requires Bitcoin to turn $80K into support and then clear roughly $81K-$83K.The biggest macro catalyst today is Kevin Warsh at Jackson Hole. Treasury yields are still elevated, inflation remains uncomfortable, and markets are even considering whether the Fed may have to raise rates again. A hawkish Warsh could strengthen the dollar and yields and make Bitcoin's $80K problem worse. A more balanced Warsh could give ETF buyers another opportunity to push through.And then there's SanDisk, which may be one of the craziest stock stories of the AI boom. The stock is up more than 500% this year, but there is a real business transformation behind it: annual revenue rose 175%, data-center revenue surged 437%, Q4 gross margins reached nearly 85%, NAND prices exploded, and AI companies are consuming memory faster than manufacturers can supply it. The risk is that memory is still cyclical. SanDisk's run continues as long as AI demand and memory shortages remain stronger than new supply.Happy HODLing. Hosted on Acast.

In real estate, moving faster doesn't always mean getting ahead. Sometimes, the smartest thing you can do is slow down. In this episode, Gino Barbaro breaks down the idea of “slowing down to speed up” in real estate investing — a strategy built around creating clarity, making better decisions, and avoiding costly mistakes before they happen. From buying deals to operating properties and scaling a portfolio, Gino explains why rushing into opportunities can lead to years of problems — and why taking a few extra days to analyze the numbers, verify assumptions, and understand the market can save you years of pain. One of the key principles: No deal is better than a bad deal. When evaluating a property, don't simply trust the projections. Slow down and verify the rents, expenses, occupancy, market conditions, CapEx, and the actual condition of the property. A deal only becomes an opportunity when the numbers work at a realistic price. Gino also explains how this principle applies to operating multifamily properties. Before trying to fix a problem, slow down and diagnose what's actually causing it. He uses the Four Ps — People, Price, Product, and Promotion — as a framework for identifying what's really happening inside a property. And when it comes to scaling, the same principle applies. Adding more units isn't necessarily progress if your infrastructure can't support the growth. Before scaling, ask: • Do we have the right people? • Do we have clear processes? • Are we tracking the right KPIs? • Does everyone know what they're accountable for? • Can the business operate without everything going through the entrepreneur? If the answer is no, it may be time to slow down and build the infrastructure before adding more units. Gino also shares the “Stop Audit” — an exercise designed to help real estate investors identify the areas where they're constantly putting out fires and determine what can be systemized, delegated, or eliminated. The goal isn't to hesitate. It's to create clarity first, then move fast. Slow down. Analyze the numbers. Remove the emotion. Make the decision rationally. And once you know the deal works, that's when you speed up and execute. Because in real estate, moving fast on the wrong decision can cost you years. If you're a real estate investor, multifamily operator, or entrepreneur looking to make better decisions and build a scalable business, this episode is for you.

What if the greatest benefit of financial advice isn't simply what happens to your portfolio, but knowing your financial decisions reflect what matters most? New research from Kingdom Advisors and Pinkston Group suggests that when financial counsel aligns with a person's faith and values, the benefits can extend well beyond investment performance. Clients report deeper trust, reduced financial anxiety, and a broader definition of financial success. Sharon Epps, President of Kingdom Advisors, joined the show today to unpack what the findings reveal about values-aligned investing, long-term advisor relationships, generosity, and the future of Christian financial advice. The Gap Between Interest and Action One of the study's most striking findings involves values-based investing. While 81% of Certified Kingdom Advisors® offer values-based investment options, only 15% of their clients currently use them. Why the gap? Epps believes several factors may be involved. Some investors still assume that aligning their investments with their values necessarily means accepting lower returns. Others may simply be unaware that faith-aligned options are available because they've never brought it up with their advisor. There may also be a natural progression in a person's stewardship journey. Christians often begin by thinking about giving as the primary way their faith intersects with money. Only later do they begin considering whether their saving and investing decisions can also reflect their convictions. That makes education essential. Advisors can help clients understand how values-based screening works, compare investment options, and evaluate them as part of a disciplined and diversified strategy. For hesitant investors, Epps suggests starting with a smaller portion of a portfolio rather than changing everything at once. The larger principle is simple: stewardship begins by asking what matters to us before asking how our investments are performing. Why Peace May Grow Over Time The research also found that the benefits of working with a Certified Kingdom Advisor® appear to deepen over time. Among CKA® clients who had worked with their advisor for more than five years, 66% reported a reduction in financial anxiety, compared with 49% among those in shorter advisor relationships. That may be partly because trust is cumulative. Over time, an advisor gets to know not only a client's financial situation but also their family, priorities, goals, and convictions. The relationship becomes less transactional and more of a long-term partnership. A sound financial plan can also provide perspective during difficult markets. Rather than reacting to every rise and fall, investors can return to a strategy built around long-term goals. For Christians, there is an even deeper source of peace. Biblical financial counsel continually reminds us that God owns everything and that we are His stewards. That changes the central question from, “How do I protect everything I have?” to, “Lord, how would You have me manage what You have entrusted to me?” That perspective cannot eliminate financial uncertainty, but it can keep uncertainty from becoming the foundation of our decisions. More Than Finding the Lowest Fee Another revealing finding involved the way clients choose advisors. Only 20% of CKA® clients said fees were the primary factor in selecting an advisor. Epps emphasized that fees still matter. Wise stewardship means understanding what you are paying and ensuring those costs are reasonable and transparent.  But financial advice is about more than purchasing a commodity at the lowest possible price. When an advisor understands a client's values, the relationship can encompass far more than investment returns. It can include planning, accountability, generosity, family decisions, and a shared understanding of what money is ultimately for. That changes the scorecard. The question becomes not simply, “Did my investments outperform?” but also, “Am I becoming more faithful with what God has entrusted to me?” Younger Investors Want Their Money and Values to Tell the Same Story The study offered encouraging insight into the next generation as well. Among adults ages 18 to 41, 52% said shared values are extremely important when choosing financial advice. Epps sees that as an important shift. Younger Christians often want greater consistency between what they believe and the decisions they make in every area of life—including their finances. Rather than viewing money as a separate, purely financial category, many see it as another tool that should reflect their convictions. That creates both an opportunity and a responsibility for financial advisors. The next generation is likely to expect conversations about purpose, values, generosity, and stewardship rather than treating those subjects as unrelated to financial planning. For Christian advisors, that opens the door to something deeper than portfolio management: helping clients understand biblical wisdom and their role as stewards. A Bigger Definition of Success Perhaps one of the clearest differences the research reveals is how Certified Kingdom Advisors® think about success. Investment performance still matters. But the scorecard can be broader. Epps pointed to outcomes such as greater peace, increased generosity, and helping clients faithfully pursue the purposes God has placed before them. The research found, for example, that CKA® clients were twice as likely to report that their giving had “significantly increased” since beginning work with their advisor. That is particularly noteworthy because many financial advisors are compensated, in some way, based on the assets they manage. Encouraging clients to give generously may reduce those assets, yet a Kingdom-minded advisor can celebrate that generosity because the goal is not merely accumulation. The goal is faithful stewardship. What to Look for in a Financial Advisor If you are looking for financial counsel that incorporates your Christian faith, the first meeting can tell you a great deal. Notice whether the advisor is asking questions only about your numbers or also about your values. Do they want to understand what matters to you? Are they comfortable discussing how faith influences financial decisions? Can they explain how biblical wisdom shapes the counsel they provide? Epps also encourages believers to pray about the decision and seek the Lord's wisdom as they choose whom to trust with such an important relationship. Proverbs 19:20 says, “Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom in the future.” Financial advice at its best should help us do more than grow wealth. It should help us grow in wisdom, make thoughtful decisions, and faithfully steward everything God has placed in our hands.

In this episode, Axel sits down with Zach Hoereth — real estate investor, operator of Midwest Storage, and one of the more entertaining (and polarizing) voices on real estate Instagram — for a genuinely unfiltered conversation about what actually works in this business.He brings a uniquely blunt, been-there perspective on direct-to-seller acquisitions, the limits of AI and technology in a relationship-driven business, and why chasing unit count and AUM is one of the most overrated status games in real estate investing.This episode is essential listening for any investor who wants a no-BS look at what it actually takes to source deals, build a lean operation, and avoid the traps that sideline so many people who get into this business.Join us as we dive into:Zach's path from a college leasing hustle to buying his first $20–30K house in Indianapolis in 2018, and how that snowballed into today's business.How Zach's operation is structured: direct-to-seller mail feeding wholesaling and flipping, which funds acquisitions of small multifamily, single-family rentals, and self-storage — all without outside equity to date.Why "just buying rentals" isn't a wealth strategy — cash flow keeps you in the game, but equity and capital events are what actually move the needle.Why AI and chatbots can't fix a bad reputation or replace the human-to-human trust that wins deals, retains tenants, and keeps LPs engaged.The "70 dudes who partnered on a fourplex" problem — why unit count and AUM get wildly overrated as status symbols, and why doing a few deals solo teaches more than riding shotgun on a syndication.The three things you actually need to start doing direct-to-seller deals: a CRM, a targeted list (tools like PropStream and Reonomy), and a mail houseHow to make aggressive offers respectfully, and why "running toward the confrontation" beats avoiding it.The three Ds of distress — death, divorce, and drama — and how to quickly identify which sellers are actually motivated versus wasting your time.Why a seller's real pain point is often bigger (and weirder) than investors assume, and why being present when they decide to sell matters more than trying to convince them.Connect with Zach Hoereth:Follow him on InstagramAre you looking to invest in real estate, but don't want to deal with the hassle of finding great deals, signing on debt, and managing tenants?

Capital Group economist Darrell Spence, who has covered the U.S. economy for more than three decades, separates AI hype from the evidence, explaining how much growth the current capital-spending boom is actually buying, where productivity gains are most likely to show up, and who benefits when they do. He also looks to earlier investment cycles for a sense of how long this one will last. The spending is real, but Spence makes the case that enthusiasm and economic resilience are not the same thing — a distinction that matters more as consumer spending softens, inflation persists, and tariffs push up costs.

This Episode Chris breaks down one of the biggest questions active real estate investors face as their portfolios mature: should you keep, refinance, or sell your rental properties? Drawing from his own shift from active landlord to passive investor, Chris explains why many investors get stuck evaluating properties based on their original investment instead of their current equity. A rental that looks like an “infinite return” on paper may actually be producing weak cash flow on equity or underperforming compared to simpler, more passive alternatives. The episode walks through a practical framework for re-underwriting each asset in your portfolio every year. Chris explains how to evaluate whether a property still aligns with your cash flow goals, lifestyle goals, and “do not want” list, especially if you are trying to reduce management headaches, increase income, or transition into more passive investments. Chris also compares several real-world paths: keeping and optimizing a rental, doing a cash-out refinance and reinvesting the proceeds, selling and paying taxes, using a traditional 1031 exchange, or using a “lazy 1031” strategy where depreciation from a new investment may help offset taxes. The goal is not to prescribe one right answer, but to challenge the assumption that holding forever or avoiding taxes at all costs is always the best move. Key takeaways: Why original cash-on-cash return can be misleading once a property has built significant equity How to calculate cash flow on equity and return on equity Why your portfolio decisions should start with cash flow and lifestyle goals How to use the keep, refi, or sell framework for each rental property When a cash-out refinance can increase cash flow without selling the asset Why paying taxes may still make sense if the remaining capital can be redeployed into better-performing investments How “lazy 1031” strategies, depreciation, DSTs, 721 exchanges, and other tools can help active investors transition toward passive ownership Join a community of passive investors.

Radisson Mining CEO Matt Manson discusses Agnico Eagle's C$57 million strategic investment in the company and what it means for the advancement of the O'Brien Gold Project. Manson explains how the financing allows Radisson to launch an advanced underground exploration program while continuing its fully funded 140,000-metre surface drill campaign with eight rigs. The conversation covers the importance of testing mineralization continuity and ground conditions from underground, Radisson's ambitions to grow O'Brien toward 3–4 million ounces, and why the company believes deeper ounces can have value given the surrounding Abitibi infrastructure. Manson also shares his perspective on how record cash generation among major gold producers could drive a renewed focus on growth, pipelines and strategic investments across the sector.

B2B marketer confidence jumped this year.

AI can be an incredible tool for organizing your thoughts—but can it replace an experienced real estate attorney? Richard Crouch, a commercial real estate attorney with more than two decades of experience, explains why experience still matters when navigating complex real estate transactions. AI can help review information and suggest language, but it doesn't have the real-world experience of seeing deals go wrong, understanding the practical consequences of contract language, or recognizing the nuances that can create problems later. In commercial real estate, a provision that looks perfectly clear on paper can have very different consequences in practice. That's why having an experienced attorney who understands the business—not just the legal language—can make a major difference. For real estate investors and sponsors, the goal isn't to avoid technology. It's to know where technology can help—and where experience, judgment, and expertise are still essential. Watch the full conversation for more insights on commercial real estate, syndications, investing, legal strategy, and what successful investors need to know before putting capital into a deal. 00:05 - Welcome and introduction of guest Richard Crouch 00:35 - Teasing Richard about attorneys killing deals; asking why he became a lawyer 00:51 - Richard's path to becoming an attorney and entering commercial real estate 01:42 - What Richard loves about commercial real estate compared to litigation 02:20 - Discussing the difficult aspects and fast pace of commercial real estate 04:13 - Discussing AI/ChatGPT, its limits, and the value of a seasoned attorney 06:05 - The evolution of syndications from 2001 to today 08:00 - Impact of capital raisers and market cycles on pricing and valuations 09:01 - Challenges of exiting the market or finding replacement assets 10:05 - Common habits, skills, and disciplines of successful long-term investors 13:16 - Discussion on asset classes (industrial, medical office, multifamily) 14:35 - Current investor pain points, interest rate impacts, and loan covenants 17:30 - Advice for passive investors: warning signs, red flags, and performance metrics 21:14 - Importance of sponsors having skin in the game 22:06 - Value of having an attorney review deal documents before investing 24:10 - Essential legal documents for investors (PPM, Subscription Agreement, Operating Agreement) 25:59 - The three-step framework for passive investors (Jockey, Saddle, Horse) 27:56 - Common misconceptions about legal fees and the complexity of CRE transactions 30:34 - Differences in financing (local bank vs. CMBS loans) and reading the fine print 31:46 - Case study: A deal saved through creative structuring and seller financing

That you need the perfect idea. That becoming a billionaire is either impossible or reserved for the lucky. Here's the truth: the only thing between you and the wealth you want is believing you need something you don't have.

You'll hear the exact mindset shifts and systems we've used (and taught thousands of women) to turn a scattered rental portfolio into a streamlined, profitable business.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent made a rare move to calm a bond market rattled by surging long-term interest rates and a national debt that has climbed past $40 trillion. But did the intervention steady the ship, or shine a spotlight on even deeper concerns facing investors?

He argues that every investment carries uncertainty, that roughly half will go wrong, and that the investors who do well are the ones who take profits early, separate hunches from hopes, and refuse to fall in love with what they own. He also makes the case for thinking independently and moving on quickly when a position does not work.

In this Multifamily Minutes episode, Axel breaks down why revenue management deserves far more attention than most multifamily operators give it. Using a simple 10-unit example, he shows how a single percentage point of recovered revenue — whether from reduced vacancy or lower delinquency — can boost net free cash flow by 5% or more, a magnified effect similar to how leverage amplifies returns. He also shares how his own portfolio tracks collections throughout the month, why vacancy is the lever operators actually control while rent is dictated by the market, and the practical steps his team is taking — from tenant screening to new collections technology — to keep squeezing out those last few points of revenue.Join us as we dive into:Why revenue assumptions (vacancy and delinquency) vary wildly across A, B, C, and D class deals.The leverage analogy: how small revenue changes create outsized swings in net free cash flow.What happens at the extreme: a 3% revenue increase driving 15–16%+ additional cash flow.Why this effect becomes easier to see and more important at scale, across larger portfolios or buildings.How Axel's team tracks collections by day of the month (1st–5th, 5th–12th, 12th–30th) and what "normalized" collections look like for stabilized C-class buildings.The tech and process changes being used to push collections rates higher, including third-party payment plan platforms for past-due tenants.Are you looking to invest in real estate, but don't want to deal with the hassle of finding great deals, signing on debt, and managing tenants?

In this Episode of the Secure Your Retirement Podcast, Radon and Murs discuss one of the biggest sources of investment risk hiding in plain sight for people nearing retirement: a portfolio that has grown large thanks to a handful of Magnificent 7 stocks, and what that means once a paycheck is no longer coming in. They walk through a real conversation with a new client whose accounts had grown substantially through stocks like Nvidia stock, Tesla, and Amazon, and why the retirement investment strategy that builds wealth is not the same one that should carry you through spending it. If you've ever wondered whether your risky investments have quietly become too large a piece of your retirement portfolio, this episode breaks down how to think it through without giving up the gains you've earned. Listen in to learn about the numbers behind the Magnificent 7 run-up and the very real stock market risk that comes with it, including the 2022 pullback most investors have already forgotten. Radon and Murs unpack sequence of returns risk, why retirement risk management looks completely different once withdrawals begin, and how their three bucket strategy is built to protect retirement savings while still allowing room for growth. Whether you're actively planning retirement, working through a retirement checklist, or simply thinking about how to retire comfortably without one bad year undoing decades of work, this conversation lays out a retirement income strategy built for exactly that moment. In this episode, find out: Why the Magnificent 7 stocks grew so dramatically since 2020, and the specific 2022 declines (Tesla, Meta, Nvidia, Amazon, Alphabet, and Microsoft) that most investors have already forgotten about The math behind why a 50% loss requires a 100% gain just to break even, and why that matters so much more once you're living off your retirement portfolio How the accumulation phase and the retirement phase call for two completely different approaches to risk, and why what worked to build your wealth can work against you once you retire A breakdown of the three bucket strategy, including how the cash, growth, and safety and income buckets work together for real retirement portfolio diversification Why you don't have to sell your winning stocks to build a secure retirement financial plan, and how to keep a piece of the growth you're proud of while protecting the rest Tweetable Quotes: "What gets you up the mountain won't get you down. It's a different type of physicality that we need to be able to deal with." — Radon Stancil "There's ways to invest when you're growing your assets, and then there's ways to invest when you're trying to have your assets generate and preserve them." — Murs Tariq Resources: If you are in or nearing retirement and you want to gain clarity on what questions you should be asking, learn what the biggest retirement myths are, and identify what you can do to achieve peace of mind for your retirement, get started today by requesting our complimentary video course, Four Steps to Secure Your Retirement!

Are the days of "go bigger, faster" in real estate over? In this episode of the Jake & Gino Podcast, Jake Stenziano and Gino Barbaro sit down with commercial real estate investor and host of Invest Beyond Multifamily, Ash Patel. Together, they pull back the curtain on why syndicators are losing tens of millions of dollars in the current market cycle, the danger of overpaying for deals based on speculative pro formas, and why cash-on-cash return—not IRR—is the ultimate metric for long-term wealth.
