What Signals Say 2026 Could Outperform a Strong 2025 for Retail Real Estate?2026 might be the year retail real estate finally turns momentum into pricing power. Chris Ressa and Karly Iacono open with a confident call: next year will outperform an already-strong 2025, and the data is starting to line up behind it.Holiday sales climbed roughly 4 percent year-over-year, outpacing inflation and reinforcing a simple truth: consumers keep spending, even when sentiment wobbles. The conversation breaks down the “K-shaped” economy, where higher-income shoppers drive discretionary growth while value-focused and necessity-based retail remains resilient across every income bracket.The hosts point to sharper inventory discipline and steadier supply chains as quiet margin drivers, giving retailers more control over pricing and fewer forced discounts. On the real estate side, fewer major bankruptcies and limited space givebacks are tightening supply, setting the stage for a more landlord-driven market. The result: upward pressure on rents, stronger net operating income, and potential value gains as interest rates ease.They also look ahead to demand catalysts, from global sporting events and America's 250th anniversary to a new wave of store openings coming out of late-2025 leasing. While risks remain, from AI-driven job shifts to geopolitical uncertainty, the core bet is clear: tighter supply, resilient consumers, and disciplined operators could make 2026 a defining year for retail real estate.What You'll HearThe data points behind the call that 2026 tops a strong 2025Why consumer spending keeps winning over sentimentHow the K-shaped economy is reshaping value, necessity, and discretionary retailTighter supply, fewer bankruptcies, and what that means for landlord leverageInventory discipline and supply chains as quiet drivers of pricing powerNOI, rents, and value: how the real estate math is shiftingTraffic catalysts ahead, from global events to a new wave of store openingsThe key risks still in play, from AI disruption to geopolitical shocksChapters00:00 — The Bold Call for 2026Chris and Karly open with a confident prediction that 2026 will outperform a strong 2025 for retail real estate and explain why they're leading with the conclusion.01:20 — Holiday Sales vs. Consumer SentimentA breakdown of holiday spending growth and why real consumer behavior matters more than surveys and headlines.03:55 — The K-Shaped Economy in RetailHow higher-income and value-focused consumers are shaping different lanes of retail performance across categories.05:55 — Inventory, Pricing, and Margin ControlWhy better inventory discipline and steadier supply chains are giving retailers more leverage on pricing.08:20 — Tariffs, Supply Chains, and StabilityWhat's changed since early 2025 and why supply volatility feels less like a headline risk for 2026.09:45 — Bankruptcies, Space, and Expansion PressureHow fewer large retail failures are tightening available space and reshaping store rollout strategies.12:10 — The Landlord's Market and Rent...

More than 5,000 rent stabilized apartments are set to change hands after the Pinnacle Group, once one of New York City's largest landlords, entered bankruptcy and a judge approved the sale of its buildings. The case drew unusual attention when Mayor Zohran Mamdani made the bankruptcy proceedings one of his first public fights after taking office, arguing that the sale would leave tenants worse off. This episode traces how Pinnacle's business model unraveled, what this battle over the sale tells us about the limits of city power when big landlords unwind through bankruptcy.

One pub a day closed in 2025, as Labour clobbered the hospitality industry with higher business rates, a National Insurance and minimum wage hike, and an increase in alcohol duty.With The Telegraph's Save Our Pubs campaign calling on the Government to cease its assault on the Great British boozer, Camilla and Tim are in to Dorset to meet landlord Andy Lennox who is actively barring Labour MPs from his pubs.They also speak to celebrity chef, restauranteur and publican Tom Kerridge, who pleads with the government to drop VAT to 10% in order to help the hospitality industry survive.Read more about The Telegraph's Save Our Pubs campaignWe want to hear from you!

This episode of Inside the Vault with Ash Cash features entrepreneur, coach, and salon suite mogul Patrice “Sway the Pro” McKinney.Throughout the conversation, Patrice shares her journey from working behind the chair to becoming a multi-millionaire by building salon suites — a business model she describes as being a landlord in the hair and beauty industry. She explains why the “sexy route” in entrepreneurship is often the least profitable and how quiet, strategic positioning creates long-term wealth.Listeners will hear candid stories about setbacks, resilience, belief, and mindset — including moments where everything went wrong but quitting was not an option. Patrice also breaks down the salon suite business model, how leasing commercial property works, how to fill suites, common mistakes to avoid, and when franchising makes sense.This episode focuses on money mindset, smart business strategy, and the power of belief — especially for first-generation wealth builders.⏱️ Timestamps / Chapters0:00 – “Cigarette money” & being warned against barbering 0:10 – Seeing barbers living well in Atlanta & New York 0:17 – Why the “sexy route” is often the least lucrative 0:24 – Breakthroughs always come with quit moments 0:30 – Signing the lease & immediate setbacks 0:36 – Architect runs off with the money 0:42 – Permits, pressure, and breaking down emotionally 0:48 – Unexpected help clears the way 0:54 – “Everybody got ‘owner' in their bio” 1:00 – Do you need to own property to build salon suites? 1:06 – Leasing vs owning explained 1:13 – What it takes to cross into millionaire status 1:19 – Do you have to be delusional to succeed? 1:24 – Legacy and long-term impact2:36 – Official show intro: Inside the Vault with Ash Cash 2:50 – Patrice's business model overview 3:04 – Turning 95 sq ft into $1,500/month 3:16 – Risking everything to build the first location 3:22 – Selling the first location & still collecting royalties4:10 – Patrice introduces herself in her own words 4:48 – Coaching & mentoring in the beauty industry 5:32 – Falling in love with salon suites 6:03 – Barber shop vs salon suite comparison 6:15 – Why salon suites are hands-off and scalable7:27 – Why calm money is better than flashy money 7:52 – Working smarter, not harder8:22 – Upbringing, popularity, and mindset 9:55 – Basketball career & full scholarship 10:45 – Why she didn't pursue the WNBA 11:20 – Pivoting into music and entertainment12:34 – Music industry gatekeeping & rejection 13:38 – Being told to change who she was 14:33 – God's redirection and bigger purpose15:09 – Resilience through repeated setbacks 16:37 – Growing up without role models 17:03 – Deciding to break the cycle17:36 – Moving the family from Michigan to Georgia 18:01 – Crashing the U-Haul 18:46 – Losing housing at the last minute 19:17 – Laptop stolen before the move 19:52 – Choosing not to turn back20:26 – Carrying the weight for the family 21:09 – “Make it a good decision by doing whatever it takes”21:38 – Being the first millionaire in the family 22:03 – Belief as the real barrier 22:20 – Optimistic delusion explained23:49 – Every breakthrough comes with resistance 24:22 – Buildout stress & no mentorship 25:09 – Racism, permitting delays, and anxiety 25:55 – Why mentorship matters27:38 – What salon suites actually are 28:14 – Why the model works long-term 29:01 – Comparing salon suites to real estate 30:03 – Students making six figures from one location 30:33 – Big brands doing $70M+ annually31:57 – Leasing vs owning explained again 32:22 – Why “ownership” is misunderstood 33:08 – Using other people's money ethically 34:07 – Tenant improvement allowances (TI) 34:55 – Landlords funding buildouts36:10 – How many suites to start with 36:46 – Medical office spaces as ideal properties38:02 – How to fill salon suites 38:25 – Social media as the #1 marketing tool 39:10 – SEO vs paid ads40:35 – Biggest mistakes new owners make 41:10 – Wasting square footage 41:49 – Not understanding commercial leases42:46 – Franchising: when it makes sense 43:34 – Systems, SOPs, and FDDs 44:24 – How franchising accelerates growth48:09 – Why she wrote Sweet Victory 49:12 – Showing the full journey, not just success50:01 – Defining legacy and impact 51:24 – The importance of support systems 52:17 – Support helps but isn't required53:50 – Handling visibility, blogs, and virality 55:23 – What's next: real estate, investing, speaking57:47 – How to connect with Patrice “Sway the Pro” 58:22 – Free training information 58:56 – Closing the Vault with Ash CashAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

California's AB 2819 (CCP Section 1161.2) was marketed as a way to protect "innocent tenants," but the reality for mom-and-pop landlords has been a nightmare of "serial evictors" and "blind-spot" screening. In this seminar, we break down how the automatic and permanent sealing of eviction records has fundamentally shifted the risk landscape for property owners. We explore the operational and financial consequences of a law that masks the history of non-paying tenants, leaving landlords vulnerable to professional evictors who move from one property to the next with a "clean" background check. Key Topics Covered: The 60-Day Trap: Why requiring a trial win within 60 days to keep a record public is an impossible standard that rewards delay tactics. The Death of Predictive Screening: How traditional background checks have been degraded, forcing landlords to fly blind during the application process. The "Serial Eviction" Loophole: How tenants use settlements to keep their records sealed, allowing them to repeat the cycle of non-payment with unsuspecting new landlords. Loss of Leverage: Why the threat of a public record was a vital tool for recovering back-rent and how its removal has increased litigation costs. Defensive Landlording: New strategies for vetting tenants, including extensive financial audits and stricter co-signer requirements to hedge against untraceable risks. The administrative burden of "unmasking" a record is exhausting, and the financial stakes have never been higher. Join us as we discuss the survival of small-scale housing providers in the face of California's increasingly restrictive legislative environment.

Single women are consistently outpacing single men in homeownership, accounting for 19% of homes sold nationwide last year. What’s Lou’s advice for single-woman homeowners? Do not let the boyfriend move in. If you do let him stay over, do not give him a key. Do not let him forward his mail and bills to your address. Do not let him make any improvements to the home or fix anything. And under no circumstances, do not allow him to pay any utility bills — except if it’s in cash. It seems young singles don’t know how to date these days; for starters, women do not like splitting the bill. If a man asks a woman out, he should pay the bill and NOT go Dutch. For a single woman, there are no such things as relationships with men. Instead, men should be classed as either acquaintances, fiancés or husbands.

Is rent control destroying the housing market? In this seminar, we dive deep into why the current "CPI-based" rent increase formulas are a mathematical failure for income property owners. While policymakers use the Consumer Price Index (CPI) because it sounds "fair," it completely ignores the skyrocketing reality of operating rental housing in today's economy. We break down the "Perfect Storm" facing landlords:   The Insurance Crisis: Major carriers like State Farm and Farmers are canceling policies, leaving owners with premium jumps of 50% or more. The Utility Gap: Water, sewer, and trash rates are rising by 10–20% while rent increases are capped at a fraction of that. The Construction Spike: Why it now costs 30–40% more to replace a roof, repair a foundation, or upgrade electrical systems for safety. Hidden Taxes: Local parcel taxes, RSO fees, and business license costs that CPI never captures. What You'll Learn: The Birkenfeld Legacy: How a 1976 landmark case established rent control but also guaranteed a "just and reasonable return"—a promise currently being broken. CPI vs. Reality: Why a "basket of goods" like bread and clothing doesn't reflect the cost of copper piping, HVAC labor, and property taxes. A New Formula: We propose a shift toward Cost-Based Rent Adjustments to ensure the long-term survival of our housing stock. #RealEstateInvesting #RentControl #LandlordRights #PropertyManagement #HousingCrisis #CPI #InsuranceCrisis #CaliforniaRealEstate #IncomeProperty

If you want a stronger cash flow this year, don't start by buying another property — start by increasing the income potential of the properties you already own. In this episode, I'm sharing three simple but powerful ways landlords can increase their income in 2026, including: • adjusting your rental strategy to higher-income models like mid-term rentals, short-term rentals, or co-living • adding revenue-producing units such as ADUs, basements, or garage conversions • reducing vacancy — the silent income killer that drains landlords every year • and the small administrative tweaks (like cutting unused subscriptions) that add up big over time These strategies help your rentals perform better without taking on more debt or adding extra stress.

Today's conversation is with Ewan Dudding.Ewan is a property investor, mortgage broker, and one of the most active figures in Scotland's investor community but his journey didn't start with capital, contacts, or confidence. It started in Lochgilphead, with a grounded money mindset, long hospital shifts while studying, and a willingness to figure things out earlier than most.We go right back to Ewan's upbringing and early relationship with money, how he balanced university with work, and the influences that first pulled him towards property. He shares the reality of buying his first property as a student, how he approached getting a mortgage at that stage of life, and what it was actually like managing and renting out a property while living in it himself.From there, we unpack how his portfolio grew step by step, why he initially trained as an independent financial adviser, and what ultimately gave him the confidence to leave that path and move fully into mortgage broking. Ewan explains the natural overlap between mortgage broking and property investing in Scotland, how he built a team to manage deals end-to-end, and what it really takes to scale beyond the first few properties.We also get into the realities of leverage - including borrowing over £15m in bridging finance, how that experience has sharpened his advice to investors, and why cash flow pressure is often the hidden cost of growth. Along the way, we discuss Stirling as his chosen city, the importance of community through networking and project tours, and where he sees the biggest opportunities in UK property right now.This episode is a grounded, honest look at building a serious property portfolio without shortcuts — and what success might look like heading towards 2030.Invest with Fink using CAMBRO - https://fink.money/academy/ Get my LinkedIn Guide - https://click.convertkit-mail2.com/qdux4r4dq8u7h4dxgxvalh89p0rkkb4h86ng9/08hwh9h22xp4z6tl/aHR0cHM6Ly9jb2xjYW1icm8ua2l0LmNvbS9wcm9kdWN0cy9saW5rZWQtaW4tcGVyc29uYWwtYnJhbmQtZm9yLXNlbGxpbmc=Shop Notox Skincare using COL15 - https://www.notoxskincare.co/ Get 20 lessons from 330 CamBro Conversations - https://colcambro.kit.com/60ed1b527b Connect with Ewan:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ewan-dudding-aa5791177/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ewanduddingpropertyfinance/ Connect with Col:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/col.cambro/Email List: https://colcambro.kit.com/30bde23b0cPatreon: www.patreon.com/ColCampbell

Constitution to Collectivism: Mamdani and the Road to Venezuela traces the slow, deliberate transformation of the United States from a constitutional republic built on individual liberty into a society increasingly shaped by collectivist ideology. Beginning with the New Deal era, the episode examines how emergency powers, federal expansion, and welfare-state policies permanently altered the relationship between citizens and the government. What was once sold as temporary relief became a permanent structure. Over decades, dependency replaced self-reliance, bureaucracy replaced local authority, and central planning crept quietly into everyday life. The podcast then turns to the present moment, where a new generation of political figures and activists no longer conceal their ideological goals. Through public statements, policy positions, and ideological alignment, the episode argues that figures like Zohran Mamdani and Katie Wilson represent an open embrace of democratic socialism as the next phase of this long march. Finally, the episode draws a cautionary comparison to Venezuela, not as a rhetorical scare tactic, but as a documented case study of how collectivist policies dismantle free markets, collapse economies, and consolidate power in the state. The warning is clear: nations do not fall all at once. They decline by degrees, by good intentions, and by the steady normalization of government control.Email: thefacthunter@mail.comWebsite: thefacthunter.comFact Hunter Radio is now available on the App Store for iPhoneShow Notes:We can arrest a foreign leader over him allegedly owning guns. https://x.com/barnes_law/status/2007507184662278313?s=46&t=ytitK_qmWZMvJd0lLKbt- Brilliant from jamiekaler!

Stop losing money and risking lawsuits! In this seminar, "7 Myths That Bankrupt Landlords," we debunk the most dangerous misconceptions in property management. Believing these myths can lead to lost eviction actions, thousands in attorney fees, months of lost rent, and heavy civil penalties. Whether you are a new investor or a seasoned pro, setting the record straight on these seven points is essential for protecting your assets: Myth #1: Relying On Your Instincts. Why your "gut feeling" is worthless and why you need a standardized, written Rental Leasing Requirement form. Myth #2: The "Self-Help" Shortcut. The legal dangers of changing locks or turning off utilities. Myth #3: Electronic Payments & Evictions. What happens when a tenant sends a Zelle payment or direct deposit during an eviction?  Myth #4: The Month-to-Month Misconception. Why a 30-day notice or a lease expiration doesn't always mean a tenant must vacate. Myth #5: The Security Deposit "Payday." Understanding "normal wear and tear" and the strict 21-day rule for itemized receipts. Myth #6: The "Lease is King" Fallacy. Why you cannot "contract away" a tenant's legal rights, even if they signed the agreement. Myth #7: New Ownership Rights. What actually happens to a lease when a building is sold or a landlord passes away. Don't let a simple mistake bankrupt your business. Watch now to learn the rules, the reality, and how to stay compliant with the law. Disclaimer: This video is for educational purposes and does not constitute legal advice.

If you're stepping into 2026 determined to improve your cash flow, protect your rentals, and scale smarter, this episode is for you. We're kicking off the year by talking about the real opportunities available for landlords in 2026 — and the roadblocks that keep so many people stuck. Before you make another move, you need clarity on what's holding your portfolio back and how to break through it this year. Inside this episode, I'm sharing three simple but powerful ways to cut your expenses as a landlord — strategies most investors overlook, even though they can save hundreds (and sometimes thousands) each year: • How smart thermostats and routine HVAC servicing prevent expensive repairs • Why an annual insurance review is non-negotiable — and how raising your deductible can reduce premiums • How disciplined landlords can manage property taxes through a high-yield savings account • why hiring a real-estate-friendly CPA is one of the most profitable decisions you can make in 2026 These changes aren't flashy — but they are transformative. This is how you protect your cash flow, strengthen your rentals, and scale with confidence this year.

Feeling stuck in your real estate investing journey? Want to scale your rental portfolio but not sure where to start? In this episode, I'm breaking down the three proven strategies that successful landlords use to make more money and grow their portfolios faster. If you're tired of spinning your wheels and ready to make real progress this year, these strategies will transform how you approach your real estate investing business.

A bipartisan coalition of state attorneys general recently secured a $7 million multistate settlement with Greystar — the nation's largest landlord — in ongoing antitrust actions tied to the use of RealPage's algorithmic pricing software, requiring Greystar to curb use of tools that leverage nonpublic data to recommend rents and cooperate with continued litigation against other landlords while the states press forward in parallel actions. For legal, compliance, and marketing teams, this highlights heightened state antitrust scrutiny of algorithmic pricing and data-driven competitive practices across industries, reinforcing that enforcement can continue even after related federal or class action resolutions.

Trey Morgan and Derek Copeland of Sentinel Grove Partners pull back the curtain on the high-stakes world of restaurant real estate and private equity. The trio explores the critical importance of the landlord-tenant relationship, viewing it as a long-term partnership rather than a mere transaction, and discusses the shift toward a "landlord's market" in high-growth regions like the Sunbelt. Beyond the numbers, Trey and Derek emphasize that successful investing is about "betting the jockey, not the horse," highlighting how exceptional leadership, staff retention, and clear succession planning are the true indicators of a concept's longevity in an unpredictable economy.10 Key Takeaways Interview Your Landlord: A lease is only as good as the people behind it. Talk to existing tenants to see how the landlord handles crises before signing. Bet the Jockey, Not the Horse: A great concept (the horse) will fail with a poor operator, but a great operator (the jockey) can pivot and save a concept during a "black swan" event like COVID-19. The "Disproportionate" Equity Model: A popular funding structure involves paying investors back 100% of their capital first; once de-risked, the profit split shifts in favor of the operator. Staff Longevity as a Metric: High retention (e.g., staff staying 20+ years) is the ultimate green flag for investors, signaling a healthy culture and operational stability. The "Landlord's Market": In high-growth areas like the Southeast, low vacancy and high demand mean rents are spiking, requiring operators to be faster and more prepared during negotiations. Banking is still Face-to-Face: Despite digital trends, walking into a branch and looking a lender in the eye is still the best way to secure capital for a restaurant. The Rule of Three Banks: Operators should maintain 2–3 banking relationships, as individual banks may lose their "appetite" for the restaurant sector depending on the economic cycle. Inflation Beyond Rent: It's not just the base rent; skyrocketing "Triple Net" (NNN) costs—taxes, insurance, and maintenance—are the biggest current headwinds for operators. Succession Planning is Mandatory: Investors need to know what happens if the founder "gets hit by a bus." A business that can't run without its owner is a risky investment. Tenant Mix Matters: Successful real estate development requires a balance; too many restaurants in one center creates parking "cannibalization," hurting everyone's sales.

In this episode of the Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast, I'm hanging out with someone who's been in the trenches in some of the toughest rental markets and came out retired on a Florida beach — Ron Faraci. Ron has owned and managed several hundred low-income rentals, transformed ugly, problem portfolios into highly profitable ones, and ran CT REIA, the fifth-largest real estate investors association in the country. He's also the author of Confessions of a Landlord and creator of the now-famous 31-page "Bulletproof Lease."     We unpack how Ron quit his job, cashed out his 401(k), and went all-in on class C/D "ghetto-adjacent" properties, why he cares more about terms than price, and how he used forced appreciation and systems to retire in his mid-40s. He shares real-world landlording tactics—no garbage disposals, painted "magic handles," orange-coated copper, even canine-unit letters to chase off drug dealers—plus why he runs his business with "no mercy, no quarter" and a lease tenants initial 80+ times.   If you're a landlord, property manager, or aspiring buy-and-hold investor who wants cash flow, control, and fewer headaches, this conversation is a masterclass in how to make tough rentals profitable without losing your mind.   Key Talking Points of the Episode   00:00 Introduction 01:03 Who is Ron Faraci?  02:30 Semi-retired in St. Augustine, FL (and why the beach isn't "enough") 03:13 Blue-collar beginnings, LA sales job, and a fear of losing it all 04:34 Quitting the job, cashing in his 401K and burning the boats 05:05 Discovering creative financing early in his real estate career 06:02 Finding his tribe in CT REIA and buying it 07:11 Selling CT REIA and realizing that there's no finish line 08:45 Why joining your local REIA is key to getting started 10:20 Macro curveballs & building your "pivot muscle" 11:16 The pivot during COVID: Zoom meetings & over-delivering value 12:44 The money in tough, low-income areas 13:30 The million-dollar "worst two-family" example 14:02 No mercy, no quarter: If you want a friend, buy a puppy 15:16 The importance of knowing your fastball and letting someone else run your business 19:17 Appreciation vs. forcing NOI with cap rates as multipliers 20:38 What doesn't belong in low-income units 22:24 Magic handles, dirty copper & fly-free trash cans 25:30 Clearing out drug dealers with a single letter 27:57 The story behind The Bulletproof Lease 28:31 Where to find a copy of the Bulletproof Lease   Quotables   "You grow up with no money, you're stressed about having no money.

In this episode of the Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast, I'm finally pulling back the curtain on how we insure our own portfolio. For about 12 years, my family and I have insured all of our non-owner-occupied, investment properties through National Real Estate Insurance Group (NREIG), whether it's buy-and-hold rentals, multifamily, or creative subject-to deals.   I'm joined by Seth Markum, Executive VP of Sales at NREIG, with 20+ years in property and casualty insurance and a background in building one of the first national online commercial P&C agencies. We break down landlord insurance vs. homeowners insurance, why rental properties are treated as commercial exposure, and how NREIG structures real estate investor insurance across single-family, multifamily, short-term rentals, mobile homes, land, and creative strategies even if you're using multiple LLCs in multiple states.   Seth also walks you through their monthly reporting program, how one flexible policy can follow a property from occupied to vacant to renovation without gaps in coverage, and how they handle subject-to insurance the right way.   If you've ever wondered how to properly insure your rental properties and real estate investments, this episode will show you exactly what to ask for and how to get a proposal from NREIG.   Key Talking Points of the Episode: 00:00 Introduction 01:11 Who is Seth Markum? 03:19 Landlord vs. homeowner policies (and why homeowners "never works") 04:18 One company vs. multiple niches: why customization matters 05:08 No one-size-fits-all: mix forms, deductibles & locations 06:21 What makes NREIG different from other insurance companies 08:19 Why you don't want "agent Bob on the corner" for creative deals 09:01 Making insurance simple for real estate investors 10:02 Dealing with vacancies and fix and flips with NREIG 11:21 How to get a proposal from NREIG 13:10 The importance of understanding the kind of insurance you have   Quotables   "If you're not getting a customized policy… that may not be the scenario that you want to entertain."    "All phases of occupancy are contemplated on our single policy form."   "If you just want something that's going to be all encompassing, no matter what your strategy is, this is going to be the best solution for you."   Links   NREIG https://nreig.com/ sales@nreig.com   QLS 4.0 - Use coupon code for 50% off https://smartrealestatecoach.com/qls Coupon code: pod   Apprentice Program https://3paydaysapprentice.com Coupon code: Podcast   Masterclass https://smartrealestatecoach.com/masterspodcast   3 Paydays Books https://3paydaysbooks.com/podcast   Strategy Session https://smartrealestatecoach.com/actionpodcast   Partners https://smartrealestatecoach.com/podcastresources
