From a teenage boy in the fields alone with the sheep to a king in the palace, David's life knew trouble … trouble he made for himself, trouble from others, and a lot of trouble with his kids.Despite his issues, David constantly showed us how to turn to the Lord with anything and everything.Listen to Psalm 18:1-6 …I love you, Lord; you are my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.  I called on the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and he saved me from my enemies. The ropes of death entangled me; floods of destruction swept over me. The grave wrapped its ropes around me; death laid a trap in my path. But in my distress I cried out to the Lord; yes, I prayed to my God for help. He heard me from his sanctuary; my cry to him reached his ears. (NLT) If you were to composed a psalm of your own, what would you say to God? What would you say about God?You know what enemies, threats, floods, and distress feel like, don't you? Do you know the other side David speaks about? To allow God to rescue you? To cry out to Him for help?Listen to part of this passage again in The New Life Bible … I love You, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, and my safe place, and the One Who takes me out of trouble. My God is my rock, in Whom I am safe. He is my safe-covering, my saving strength, and my strong tower. I call to the Lord, Who has the right to be praised. And I am saved from those who hate me. The ropes of death were all around me. The floods of death make me afraid. The ropes of the grave were all around me. The traps of death were set for me. I called to the Lord in my trouble. I cried to God for help. He heard my voice from His holy house. My cry for help came into His ears.Let's take a few moments to list some of the major troubles you have experienced … maybe something you are walking through right now?Now list what God has done or what You want to see Him do?Listing, even writing out your prayers is a great exercise … one you might try doing with your kids too.Let's pray together: “Heavenly Father, You are my strength, my Rock, my Safe Place, my Covering, my Strong Tower. Thank You for hearing me when I cry out to You. Thank You for answering, not always on my time, but on Yours. As above, so below.”

But it is not.  It does require you to understand and articulate your value.  It is not time and task based, rather it is based on outcomes.  Listing agents must learn how to educate the sellers about commission negotiations. Buyer agents need to adapt their strategies in this new environment.  This is not anti-buyer agent.

Thurston County is considering a new ordinance that would require homeowners to obtain an energy score before listing their homes for sale. This proposal is raising concerns about additional costs and potential burdens on homeowners. Critics argue that the mandate could negatively impact housing prices and create unnecessary hurdles for sellers. This move is part of a broader trend towards energy efficiency regulations, but its impact on the Thurston County housing market remains to be seen. Stay tuned as we delve into the details of this controversial proposal and its potential consequences for homeowners in the region.

Valereum PLC (AQSE:VLRM, FRA:6TJ, OTCQB:VLRMF) CEO Gary Cottle talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's decision to begin cross-trading on the OTCQB market in the United States, describing it as an important step toward a potential major US exchange listing. Cottle explained that expanding access to US investors is part of the company's broader strategy as it builds toward a possible Nasdaq or NYSE listing. The move gives Valereum greater visibility with American investors while the business continues to develop the scale and revenue base needed for a larger listing. During the interview, Cottle outlined the key milestones Valereum is working toward before pursuing a US exchange listing. These include completing the company's audit process, launching major new products, and ensuring the business generates sustainable revenues. A central focus is the development of V Gold, a gold-backed token being developed alongside strategic partner QGP, which operates in the commodities royalty and streaming sector. The initiative aims to tokenise the gold value chain, linking exploration, reserves and production with digital assets. Cottle highlighted the company's disciplined approach to growth and long-term listing ambitions, stating: “We always said that in order to get on Nasdaq or NYSE and stay there, you've got to have a sustainable business and that equals revenues.” The company is also working toward creating a liquid bond structure and expanding token-related revenue streams, which Cottle said could generate significant recurring income. Watch the full interview to hear Gary Cottle discuss Valereum's US expansion strategy, the upcoming V Gold token, and the roadmap toward a potential Nasdaq or NYSE listing.

Episode 442 | The First 10 Minutes (How Martial Arts Schools Win or Lose New Families) Podcast Description In this episode of School Owner Talk, Duane Brumitt and Shihan Allie Alberigo break down a growth lever that most school owners underestimate: the intro experience. A lot of schools assume they have a marketing problem. However, Duane and Allie argue that in many cases it's not marketing — it's what happens after someone clicks, fills out a form, and schedules their first class. Because you only get one shot to make a first impression, and families are deciding fast whether they trust you. They frame the “first 10 minutes” as a three-phase process: The digital first impression (what families experience online) The pre-visit first impression (texts/emails/calls before they arrive) The in-studio first impression (the first few minutes inside your school) Key Takeaways Simple doesn't mean easy. One small mistake early can create big problems downstream. Your first impression usually happens online. Your website, form, confirmation texts, and follow-ups are part of the intro experience. Congruency matters. Your words, photos, colors, and vibe should match what families will experience in your school. Don't cast a “wide net” with fake promises. Listing styles you don't teach (just to catch traffic) makes people click off fast. Pre-visit communication reduces anxiety. Clear directions, parking info, and “here's what to expect” messaging prevents confusion and no-shows. The in-person greeting is make-or-break. Allie shares how she's walked into schools and sat for 15–20 minutes without being greeted — and how one school owner impressed her by greeting immediately and professionally. The goal isn't to “sell” them on day one. The goal is to help families feel known, safe, and confident they chose the right place. Use names to create connection. Duane shares the “three times rule” — use the parent/child's name multiple times to build familiarity. A tour should be an experience, not a checklist. Tie everything you show to a benefit the family cares about. Guidelines beat rigid scripts. Scripts can make staff robotic; guidelines create consistency while letting people sound natural. Questions at enrollment are feedback. If families still have basic questions at the close, it's a sign you need to address those earlier in the process. Action Steps for School Owners Audit your intro experience in three phases. Digital (website, ads, Google listing, forms) Pre-visit (texts, emails, calls, reminders) In-studio (greeting, tour, first class, next steps) Make your online presence congruent.Ensure your photos, language, colors, and promises match what you actually deliver. Stop trying to be everything to everyone.If you're a Taekwondo school, be a Taekwondo school — don't list Kenpo, Kung Fu, Karate, Jiu Jitsu, etc. if you don't teach them. Build a pre-visit “confidence package.”Reduce friction before they arrive: Where to park Where to enter What to wear What will happen when they arrive Train your team to greet fast and warmly.Don't let families stand at the counter feeling invisible. A quick “Hey, I see you — I'll be right with you” changes everything. Turn your dojo tour into a story.Don't just point at things. Connect each part of the tour to benefits: Safety (mats, layout) Community (lobby culture) Trust (standards, structure, professionalism) Use guidelines, not robotic scripts.Give staff a step-by-step structure, but allow them to speak naturally and adapt to the family. Systematize the process with ownership.Decide who owns each part: Who responds to leads Who greets Who tours Who teaches the first class Who closes Roleplay and pressure-test your process.Practice curveballs (price shock, shy kids, skeptical parents) so staff stays confident. Use enrollment questions as “upstream” feedback.If families keep asking the same questions at the close, add those answers earlier (videos, texts, emails, handouts). Additional Resources Mentioned Three-phase intro experience: digital → pre-visit → in-studio Congruency principle: your online presence should match your real school experience The “three times rule” (use names to build connection) Guidelines vs. scripts for staff consistency Mystery shopper idea to test your intro experience Book reference: Upstream (prevent problems before they happen)

Picture Perfect Listings: Why Professional Photography Matters More Than Ever In today's real estate market, buyers don't start their home search at an open house they start online. On a recent episode of Talk Real Estate Roundtable, the team at Boston Connect Real Estate discussed why professional photography isn't just a “nice extra” it's one of the most important investments when listing your home for sale. Let's break down why. First Impressions Happen in Seconds Buyers are scrolling. Fast. Whether they're reviewing MLS alerts from their agent, browsing homes on BostonConnect.com, or scrolling through social media, listings are judged in seconds. Before a buyer reads a single word of the description, they've already formed an emotional reaction based on the photos. That means: Dark, blurry, or poorly framed photos create doubt. Bright, balanced, thoughtfully composed images communicate care and value. Professional photos act as your home's digital curb appeal. In today's market, attention is currency. If your home doesn't capture attention immediately, buyers may scroll right past it. Professional Photography = More Exposure More clicks lead to: More showings More competition Stronger offers Listings with professional photography consistently generate: Higher engagement on MLS Better traction on social media Increased open house traffic Reduced days on market And when buyers see high activity? They act decisively. As we like to say there's a buyer for every home. Our job is to get as many eyes on your property as possible to find the right one. Why Cell Phone Photos Aren't Enough We are in the digital age. Presentation matters. Professional photographers understand: Proper camera height and perspective How to enhance space without distorting it Bracketing exposures for balanced interior and exterior lighting Timing for optimal natural light Editing for true color accuracy Even something as simple as formatting matters. MLS platforms require specific image sizing and improperly sized phone photos stand out immediately (not in a good way). There's a clear difference between a snapshot and a strategic marketing image. Staging & Preparation Matter Too Photography starts before the camera comes out. Decluttering, adjusting décor, and sometimes even swapping out window treatments can dramatically improve how a home presents online. The goal isn't to remove personality it's to create a space where buyers can imagine themselves living. Simple adjustments can make a big impact: Removing personal photos Clearing countertops Letting in natural light Minimizing visual distractions Showcasing architectural features Less is often more. Drone Photography, Floor Plans & Storytelling Professional marketing today goes beyond interior photos. At Boston Connect Real Estate, we often include: Drone photography for aerial perspective Drone video (when permitted) Floor plans Exterior lifestyle images Aerial imagery is especially powerful when a property offers land, neighborhood context, or proximity to features like ponds, beaches, or city views. Marketing isn't just about taking pictures it's about telling the story of the home. The Financial Impact: It Affects Your Bottom Line Here's what many sellers don't realize: Professional photography is not an expense it's an investment. Skipping professional photography can lead to: Fewer showings Longer days on market Reduced perceived value Potential price reductions Buyers often equate presentation with condition. If the photos look careless, they may assume the home has been poorly maintained even if that's not the case. Strong presentation protects your pricing power. What If the House Will “Sell Anyway”? We hear it sometimes: “Can't we just use a phone?” “My cousin has a nice camera.” “The house will sell anyway.” Maybe it will. But your home is likely your largest financial asset. Why wouldn't you showcase it in the best possible light? Professional marketing maximizes exposure and maximizing exposure maximizes your net proceeds. Real Estate Is Competitive, Your Listing Should Be Too You are competing with every other home online in your price range. The difference between a stagnant listing and a successful one often comes down to presentation. At Boston Connect Real Estate, we believe: Every listing deserves professional photography regardless of price point. Marketing should be consistent, polished, and brand-aligned. Sellers deserve a strategic plan, not just a sign in the yard. Because every move should be a moving experience. Thinking About Selling? If you're considering putting your home on the market and want to understand how professional marketing can impact your sale, we'd love to talk.

Originally intended to point out what a Crisis looks like, in the futile hope that maybe people in the USA would recognize when they were making them. Alas, this was not the case, and so we have a real peak Crisis happening.        Can we tell the start of a Fourth Turning by noticing the frequency and intensity of nation-level unforced errors? A look at the Soviet Union during the 1980s, when in retrospect the nation was clearly falling apart, and the unforced errors during that decade that might have been good indicators of what was happening.     https://www.airspacemag.com/history-of-flight/the-notorious-flight-of-mathias-rust-7101888/ "At about this time, Soviet investigators would later tell Rust, radar controllers realized something was terribly wrong, but it was too late for them to act."   In the 1980s, the Reagan administration released a publication called "Soviet Military Power" which was frankly intended to make the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics look more powerful than it was. In 1989, someone FINALLY put out a response to it, called Soviet Military Power, Annotated" which pointed out that it was frankly a propaganda document. Unfortunately, the annotations were also frankly propaganda. At one point it alludes to Rust's flight as having a lot of lucky coincidences that just happened to embarrass the Soviet Union on Border Guard day. It implies, that is, that Mathias Rust's flight sure looked like an intentional propaganda stunt that must have had direct help from someone who wanted to embarrass the USSR> Anyway, if it was the case that this was anything else, I'm rather confident that Rust would have been "disappeared" a while ago.     Googling us intelligence tracking Mathias Rust leads to a "Secrets of Signals Intelligence During the Cold War" - nothing there, really, that I used here, but it was interesting reading. (Okay, it no longer seems to lead there, but you can search for it directly, and there are some links that are evidently to the book itself.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall_of_the_Berlin_Wall https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Solidarity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_Round_Table_Agreement   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severomorsk_Disaster https://www.nytimes.com/1984/07/11/world/soviet-naval-blast-called-crippling.html   Listing them here for additional clarity and impact.   1979 - Afghanistan 1980 - Solidarity 1983 - KAL 007 1985 - Chernenko dies 1986 - Chernobyl 1987 - Mathias Rust 1989 - Berlin Wall Falls 1991 - August Coup   HBO's miniseries on Chernobyl influenced my views of the Chernobyl disaster by making the causes clear enough to be enthralling cinema. It's a good intro to the disaster, although parts of it are fictionalized. I could not find the cosmonaut cartoon, but saw it at work every day in 1985-1987. There was another cartoon I remember but also couldn't find about Solidarity: Polish &  Soviet leaders discuss the labor union, and assume that it was engineered by reactionary forces in the West. It then shows a small group of people reading from The Communist Manifest: Workers of the world, Unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains! That sixth Star Trek film is The Undiscovered Country, released in December 1991, only a few weeks before the official dissolution of the Soviet Union. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102975/

Money Follows Speed: How Wendy (& Sean) Turned 34 Seller Contacts Into a New Absentee Owner Listing AND $1.1M Off Market Deal!Watch the full video replay: https://youtu.be/JkkiKtjJBCwIn this episode, the host shares a win from Wendy, a Listing Sprint participant who previously joined the inaugural Deal Sprint and followed a three-step blueprint: find a deal to use as bait, use it to reach out to buyers, and make offers on the bait or on other transactions for those buyers. Wendy reached out to 34 sellers while also attending Closers Cafe and was sourcing for a $1.4M buyer she had obtained through social posting or a networking group. From those 34, one response led to a neighbor planning to move, resulting in a call with the seller and a showing set for a likely $1.1M property. Wendy also contacted a prior client—a cash buyer with a duplex—leading Sean to meet him quickly and secure a listing expected to be signed for $350K, with the seller also mentioning openness to offers on a $3M home. The host emphasizes the mindset “money follows speed and time kills all deals,” encouraging immediate action when someone is ready to move. Additional context explains Wendy's approach of using a specific reason to reach out—off-market properties she and Sean had available—resulting in “no match, but landed the listing,” plus a $400K buyer consult scheduled around Easter. The episode reinforces that Lead Deck, the Deal Sprint, and the Listing Sprint are designed to drive activity so agents spend more time matching existing relationships and less time cold prospecting, with a reminder that business ebbs and flows may require returning to cold outreach. The host previews a potential next-month sprint focused on building a pipeline of senior owners to help members quickly rebuild an empty pipeline through a proven plan and strong implementation.The MOST POWERFUL Motivated Seller & Cash Buyer Software!

If you've ever had a seller say, "We're probably about a year out… but can you come tell us what to do?" — this episode is for you.   Today we're talking about how to win the listing early without wasting your time, burning yourself out, or giving away all your value. Because here's the truth: the agent who shows up first often wins.   But how early is too early? And what should a listing prep timeline for sellers actually look like?   We break down the mindset shift, the boundaries, and the strategy behind pre-listing appointments — especially when they're not ready yet.   Here's what we cover in this episode: Why the highest-performing agents go on pre-listing visits early The realistic listing prep timeline for sellers (hint: it's longer than they think) What sellers should NOT do too far in advance (step away from the mulch) Interior prep vs. exterior timing How to avoid losing listings after giving staging advice When to use a checklist — and when to show up in person Protecting your time with commitment letters or pre-market agreements What to do when they choose another agent after you've done the work Real-life stories of listings lost… and listings rewarded   We also share a powerful reminder: sometimes helping someone prep their home changes more than just their sale price.   And don't forget — we're collecting TOASTS!

"The Apartment King," Brad Sumrok, joins the conversation to share how recent economic shifts, financing structures, and market forces have reshaped the apartment landscape—and why he believes we may be near a key turning point in the cycle. You'll also learn how investors are approaching deals differently today, what makes certain markets and property types more attractive right now.  Resources: Learn more about Brad here.

America's favorite shaved mammal on a microphone has got his slack. John, act back on track for another wealth building week with you. I'm Keith Weinhold. This is get rich education, and I'm still not wearing a pair of Dockers. We all know that the one to four unit space single family homes, up to four plexes have held under their values despite soured affordability, but five plus unit apartment buildings are a drastically different story. We're going to talk about just how much value they've lost recently, and the reasons why it's about more than just the interest rates doubling and tripling that began in 2022 Today's guest is an apartment educator. His students have had both losses and wins over time. I'll ask about both, because adversity is where you get the lessons now today, you might buy an apartment building at a steep discount compared to what it sold for five years ago. And who might you buy an apartment from today, it might not be the type of seller that you're thinking about because of owners defaulting you might now be buying it from a bank that had to basically repossess it. Yeah, you might try to buy it from a lender at 60% of the loan amount. Well, a lender doesn't want to do a 40% write down, so they're going to try to get more and see. That's how this could practically look today for an apartment owner that survived the crisis and is still standing today. They're asking themselves, now, why would I sell at a discount if I don't have to? So they're probably going to try to hold on. And then, of course, the tenants in these apartments don't know that any of this is going on now. I own a lot of single family rental homes myself, also apartment buildings in the one to one and a half million dollar range is where I've played, and often that ends up being eight to 12 units, because in that space, I don't need partners to invest in assets of that size. One to $2 million is also small enough so that you're not competing with institutional money and other players. Today, I'll tell you what I did with some of those buildings myself when interest rates reset about four years ago, and before you and I wrap up the show today, I've got something to tell you about what's coming in future. GRE episodes here stuff that's really unexpected as the apartment King waits in the wings. One last thing to tell you about, like I mentioned to you recently, investors say that they want an opportunity, but what they really want is certainty. Once certainty arrives, the opportunity. Is gone.    Keith Weinhold  5:01   Our GRE live event last Thursday was a success. It is about how central Florida is the most compelling housing market right now, with the builder offering rate buy downs as low as 3.75% and, you know, I just ran the numbers on something, and I can hardly believe this. All right, right. Now owner occupied mortgage rates are near 6% this means investment property rates are almost 7% with the rate by down to 4% here's how your cash flow looks with a 30 year fixed rate mortgage on a 300k loan with a 7% rate, your p and i payment is 1996 at a 4% rate. It's just 1432, this is a reduction of $564 per month, a whopping payment difference. That's really the difference between treading water and stacking cash flow on these brand new build properties that we're talking about here in Central Florida. So talking about opportunity and certainty, that is a big measure of both. Yeah, before I ran the numbers, I didn't realize that the spread was this wide. With high demand for these properties, the builder does have some more available, a long term fixed rate of around 4% it should be up for you now you can see the limited time replay of GRE, freshest live event at grewebinars.com, in case you want to look into This again, grewebinars.com let's discuss the apartment market. Foreign apartment building values have fallen at 20% 30% even 40% over the past few years, depending on the market that they're in today, we're going to learn how bad it is, why it happened, and if that actually creates an opportunity here in the late 2020s, decade, our guest is known as the apartment king. He is the number one nationally known educator and mentor for apartment investing. He started with a bang in 2002 by making his first ever real estate investment, not a four Plex like I did, but a 32 unit apartment building, and he's now owned and invested in over 11,000 units and over 1 billion in assets under management. He's received awards like the naa independent owner of the year, and he's the star of the massively popular in person events that he puts on, which you'll learn about soon. Hey, it's been several years. Welcome back to the show. Brad sumrock,   Brad Sumrok  7:46   hey, Keith. It's really good to be on again. Nice to be here.   Keith Weinhold  7:50   Brad and I were together in person last month, and we also talked physical fitness. Then Brad is one of the fittest guys you'll ever meet in person. He just looks fantastic. We want to hear about your apartment forecast shortly. Brad, let's talk about the hard stuff. First, you've endured adversity since we last had you here several years ago. Tell us about that.   Brad Sumrok  8:14    Well, look, I mean, I think anyone that's been serious about investing in apartments over the last five years. And I'll also say it this way, anyone who did a deal and say 21 the middle of 21 till probably the end of 2022 it's very likely that that property is worth less today than than it was when we bought it. So that, in itself, has created, you know, adversity, because I got into the business in 2002 and the market went up until 2008 and we went through a downturn in 2008 nine and 10, as is, I'm sure you're aware. And then the market went up again until around 2021, mid year. And then, due to so many reasons, and I could go into those reasons, but let me just just cut to the chase. That you alluded to is we had another downturn, and so the downturn, you know, impacts property values, it impacts confidence, it impacts investor appetite to do deals. It impacts just about everything related to the business, on the investment side, and the other business that I'm in, which is the seminars, the events and the mentoring. So it's been a big downturn, and we could go into those, you know, into the reasons why, and I'm sure you'd like to know my take on that. But now is a great time, because things are recovering, and one of the things Tony Robbins teaches Keith is pattern recognition. It's like I've been through two downturns, and I could see the patterns, and it occurs to me that we're at or near the bottom of a cycle. So like it's also a good time to be gearing up.   Keith Weinhold  9:50   Now, many realize but for those uninitiated on this, the one to four unit space really didn't feel much pain starting in 2022 so much of that is time. Two people get long term fixed interest rate debt on the one to four unit property, but it's shorter term debt on five plus unit apartment buildings. So when interest rates went up, people soon had to pay those higher rates. They were underwater. That's really the genesis of so much of the apartment building pain.   Brad Sumrok  10:19   Well, and I would say, look, it was, I'm going to throw a bunch of things at you here. So we had the pandemic, right? And during the pandemic, people got paid to stay home from work, right? The government printed, what, $5 trillion worth of money, right? And so that kicked off what became a period of, like, very high inflation. And you know, the published number was 9% but I think a lot of people experience certain items that were a lot more than 9% like, for example, for sure, in 2022 when we bought a 286 unit property, you know, we were able to replace all the appliances inside of a unit in The kitchen, you know, for $1,800 and even today it's like $3,200 so that's a little bit more than 9% and so we had that. So we had the printing of money, we had inflation, we had variable rate debt. Why did people do variable rate debt? The first thing I'll say is there is a place for variable rate debt. But what happened in 2021 and 2022 is the fixed rate lenders, which are typically the government sponsored agencies Fannie and Freddie. They were still lending money, but because of their criteria for lending, if you would go with one of those loans, you would get like 50% leverage the shorter term lenders that would give you the three year loans, you can still get like 75 to 80% leverage. So the vast amount of people that were buying anything in 2021 and 2022 I mean, I'm not just talking about myself. I'm talking about people with 2030, 4050, 70,000 doors all over the country, they were buying with short term debt. And historically, short term debt performs at or better than long term debt. I mean, think about it, when you get a long term, 10 year fixed rate loan and multifamily you have prepayment penalties. You know, when the market's constantly going up like it did, from 2012 to 2022 you could get that fixed term loan. You could pay it off early, you could pay the seven figure prepayment penalty, and you could still make lots and lots of money, and that's what people were doing. So when you bake in the prepayment penalties on long term debt, you know short term debt is oftentimes the better option. Well, nobody saw the Fed raising rate 16 times in 12 months. And look, I don't care what anybody says, Nobody predicted it. If they had predicted it, they would be probably the richest person in the world right now, right nobody saw a comment like, there may have been some people that said, hey, yeah, this is going to happen, or this is going to happen. But what actually happened with the Fed rates over a very short period of time was unprecedented. Unprecedented means it never happened before. So it's not something you could anticipate or something anyone can model. Okay? And so what that did is most of us had what's called an interest rate cap, which is an insurance policy that if the rates go up too much, that yours is capped. But the problem with those rate caps is they're only good for like, two years, right? So we're buying these deals in 2021 and we're getting short term debt, which is a three year debt. And in two years, in 2023 the rate cap expires, and now the rates are 9% instead of 3% and when we bought the deal, the rate cap insurance was $40,000 and now it's a million dollars. And so you're in a very awkward, unfriendly financial situation. And it wasn't just that. So it wasn't just inflation, it wasn't just interest rates. And many of us sung belt markets, specifically Texas and Florida, which historically have been some of the best markets to invest in, because of migration and no taxes, and then landlord and business friendly environments. Well, these states also suffered a lot of named storms, with, you know, hurricanes and wind storms and hail storms and so in these markets, at the same time, we had rising rates. At the same time, we had massive inflation. Now we also have insurance rates doubling or even tripling in some occasions. And then the final thing was, during the pandemic, a lot of the multifamily projects that were in the middle of being built, these development projects, they all slowed down. People couldn't work. And so back in 2020, or after we're fully recovered from the pandemic, some of these markets, like Nashville and Austin and Dallas and Houston and Phoenix, they got deluged Keith with new supply coming on, like a disproportionate amount of new supply. So there's like five. Five things that contributed to multifamily being really tough in the last few years. And so it wasn't just people with short term debt that had challenges. It was probably just about anybody that bought a deal within an 18 month timeframe that I outlined before that just really experienced challenges, and some of those people are still in deals, right? And so let's just take a deal that's, you know, a $10 million deal with a $7 million loan. Well, that deal right now might be only worth 7 million, yeah, and that's the opportunity. So the owner that has that deal may get punched in the face, so to speak, you know, by the market, and they may lose their equity in that deal, but the borrower coming in, or the buyer coming in, like one of my mentees right now, had a deal that was listed at 11 million, and he's picking it up for seven, which is, like, at or below the current loan value. So one buyer group's loss is the new buyer group's opportunity, if that makes sense   Keith Weinhold  16:03    right? 100% there's nothing unusual at all about the mortgage rate levels that began to go higher about four years ago. The unusual part, and Brad has touched on it, is the rate of increase, with mortgage rates doubling or tripling in a short period of time, within about a year or so, but yeah, it's a great point. It's about more than the mortgage rates. It's about increasing insurance costs and increasing expenses of all types, like you talked about with the appliances there, and then, even if you were able to weather all that as an apartment building owner, with all of the supply coming on to the market, when supply exceeds demand, we know what happens to price, and we also know that you can't raise rents very much with all of this supply coming on the market, but the supply of new apartment buildings, that inflow, that wave, is beginning to die down, because builders got the memo quite a while ago that they need to stop building at such a fast pace in places like Florida and Texas and you know, Brad, there are a lot of asset classes that have been beaten up lately. We can always point to a few. You can look at Bitcoin or nfts or even commercial office space. Now those assets might bounce back, but they don't have to, because no human needs those things. But I expect apartments to bounce back because having a place to live is a primordial Maslow and human need. It's almost inevitable. In fact, shelter is at the base of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. So a bounce back has almost got to happen. Yeah.   Brad Sumrok  17:46   Look, it's becoming the big word right now in politics. Right is affordability. And so when you look at affordability, if you take a median priced home in this country of say, $400,000 I don't know if that's the actual median, but maybe it's around 400 420,000 100, $420,000 yes, to buy that home. And who's going to buy a $420,000 home? It's going to be a working class family making 60 to 70,000 a year, right? They could rent a median priced apartment unit for $1,800 a month, or they could pay a 20% or a 10% down payment on a $400,000 homes, and they need 40 to 80,000 down right, or maybe less, but they still need a down payment and that p i, t i, the principal, interest, tax and insurance is going to be around $3,100 okay, so there's a $1,300 per month gap, and that's a big, big gap for that working class family. And so where are they going to live? Like we're becoming more and more of a renter nation? Keith, and the statistics that I read say that only 27% of American families can even qualify to get a mortgage, yeah, on a $400,000 home. So we're becoming more and more and more of a nation of renters by necessity. And so the demographics like look, all markets are not equal. You got to know what's going on in your market. But there are markets, ie locations, geographies that have even a higher affordability gap. You know, some markets have a 2000 a month or a $2,500 a month affordability gap. So you're going to find more and more people renting in these markets.   Keith Weinhold  19:37   Yes, there is a premium to ownership opening up that gap, and that's why we have this wave of renters that's really already begun. In about the last year, the American homeownership rate has fallen from 66% to 65% 1% doesn't sound like much, but that already means that we have 1.3 million new renters. We're going to talk to Brad some more, including about. His apartment market forecast you're listening to get rich education. Our guest is apartment King.

I'm your host, Keith Weinhold. We're talking about a sector we have not talked about very much lately because it's been in rather moribund condition, but we are beginning to turn the corner where there are more opportunities in apartment building investing, because it's been beaten down an awful lot. And Brad, that plays right in to your apartment forecast. So tell us about some of the highlights of your apartment forecast.   Brad Sumrok  22:38   Yeah, sure. And one of the things that I want to share with you, Keith, is that, you know, back in the peak of the market, the market peaked, say, at the end of 21 early 22 there were so many investors that were in multifamily or that wanted to be in multifamily. And the other thing that caused this so called, you know, downturn that I didn't mention before is, let's take this $10 million deal. If a property was listed at $10 million you'd literally have 30 to 40 buyer groups pursuing that deal, bidding up the price. Yeah. And so a $10 million Listing would sell for 11 and a half million Okay, now what I'm seeing is that same $10 million deal might sell for a seven to 8 million and you might be the only buyer going after the deal. Wow. And how do I know? Because you said, like, I run a an investor community and and I have active multifamily buyers, and I coach them, and I look at their deals, and this is what's happening. And the other reason I know is I sold two of my deals personally in 2025 and both of the deals that I sold, I bought in 2015 where we had 10 year fixed rate debt. So we didn't sell because we had a three year loan. We needed to sell because we had a 10 year loan due. And look, first thing I'll say is I made money, because over that 10 year period, values did go up. They peaked in 2022 and they came back down that because I bought it so long ago. That's the one lesson that I think people also want to understand, is over the long term, the values always tend to go up, but there are short term ups and downs that one would need to be aware of. But when I sold these two deals like I didn't have many buyers one deal in particular. I mean, I had eight buyers going after the deal, but only one was anywhere close to what I wanted. So I was negotiating with myself, you know, telling the buyer and his broker, hey, you know the other guys are here, and you got to come up on price and you got to come up on terms. But truthfully, I was bluffing, because I didn't have anybody that was coming up on price or coming up on terms. And so part of why I'm answering this way is when you look at the forecast, one thing that that I want people to know is that those. Of us that are in the business now and that have our pencils up, and we're underwriting deals, and we're making offers, like I used to teach Keith, don't make lowball offers, because you'll develop a reputation of being that guy or that borrower or that buyer that submits lowball offers, right? And word will get around in that market? Well, right now, like low ball offers are expected, and I would encourage people, let's just say you make an offer that whatever the deal pencils out to. So if you know how to underwrite deals correctly, and they're offering 10 million as a listing price, and you're coming up at seven or 7.5 don't be bashful to make the offer, and you may be the only buyer in the game. So that's one thing is like the competition that I'm seeing right now on the buyer side is not a lot of competition, and that's definitely shifted to a buyer's market. So people need to know that. The other thing I would say, on the macro level, is there's still a lot of uncertainty out there, and the uncertainty is kind of becoming like what I would call a new normal. You know? I'll speak for myself. When Trump was elected and at the end of 2024 I thought it was going to be amazingly well for all of us real estate investors, right? And there are some things that have been like the big, beautiful bill that restores 100% bonus depreciation like this is a really good thing, but you know, the tariffs, the immigration policies, some of the things that he's doing, you know, they have mixed impact for us and our in the economy and in real estate and in multifamily. And the thing is, when he first started doing that again, like lenders, they didn't know how to price debt, like, what's going to happen with tariffs, what's going to happen with ice what's going to happen with immigration, you know? But now that we're a year in to his second term, I can tell you a couple things. Debt is back. Lenders are lending. They're confident. Lenders are issuing debt like you can get 70 to 75% of your acquisition funded by a commercial lender. The government agencies are lending. Freddie Mac is lending. Fannie Mae is lending, and they have a mandate to lend 20% more money in 2026 than they did in 2025 so that bodes well for people that want to get, you know, affordable workforce housing, which is my specialty, also known as Class B and Class C housing. So the lenders are lending like, there's a lot of debt out there. One of the challenges is the equity. There's a lot of institutional equity. But if you're going to the retail investor who got into the business three to five years ago. They don't want to hear about your next deal right now, they're wondering about, hey, what about the deals that I'm in? Right? So one of the things that I'm doing, Keith is, and I think, you know, this is like, you know, I build up a huge investor community from 2012 to 2022 and I did it by traveling the country, speaking at conferences, sponsoring trade shows, talking about the benefits of investing in apartment buildings, how it changed my life, how it enabled me to retire from a six figure income in just three years, and how I've helped many, many other people Do the same, and also just sharing experience today, every asset class, every 10 to 15 years is going to go through a correction. And so where we're at now. And I wasn't the only one on the forecast. I brought in John Chang who is the senior intelligence officer at Marcus and millichep, one of the biggest commercial real estate firms in the country, and he presented about 20 or 30 slides that by and large were very bullish on where we're at in the market cycle. Why now is a great time to be looking at apartment buildings, a lot of the same things that I've been talking about. Prices are down. It's a buyer's market. We have a huge affordability issue. More and more people are becoming renters, and so what I'm committed to do, Keith and I don't know if I shared with you my travel schedule, like when we met each other last month, but I'm on the road every single week going to another city, talking about where I see us right now in the market, and why people should be looking at deals and making offers right now. Because to me, you know, Warren Buffett said it best. He's like, you want to be fearful when everybody else is being greedy, and you want to be greedy when everybody's being fearful. And right now, people are on the sidelines. They're waiting for some green light, like for the Wall Street Journal to come out and say, Hey, now's a good time, you know? I mean, look, Trump, just the point of the new Fed chair, right? And so we know interest rates are going to go down like that's one of his goals, and the guy that he appointed is going to lower rates. So we're looking at a future, a very near future, where we have lower rates, and lower rates is going to create more demand, again, for people that want to buy. I invest in apartments now, look, if you wait another year, I still think it's going to be a good time, but I think we have a better time right now.   Keith Weinhold  30:10   I sold one apartment building in 2022 for about $1 million and I sold another one of my apartment buildings in 2023 for about $1 million I had bought those in 2013 with 10 year balloon loans, so I was enjoying that nice fixed rate as late and as long as I could, until 2022, nine years and 2023, 10 years before the rate went up on me. But of course, my new buyer had to pay that rate, so it limited the amount that they could offer for it. However, to your point about investing for a long time horizon, I still had profits on those nine and 10 year holds, but yeah, to your point, Brad about the looser lending, this is huge. I read a summary of the latest national Multifamily Housing Council meeting, and one of the biggest takeaways that came out of that meeting is that there is abundant debt available. It's in increasingly attractive terms. And a lot of people think about mortgages, and they just think about the rates, and you should that's certainly important, but they don't think as much about the propensity for others to lend. How loose, or how tight are those standards? They're loose, yeah.   Brad Sumrok  31:25   And, I mean, look, the first deal I did in 2002 the interest rate was 6.35% the rates right now are less than that, you know, as of the date of this recording. So, you know, I always talk about a base case of a $10 million deal. It may seem large to you or to people listening, but like in my world of syndication, where we're not just looking at the real estate piece, but learning how to raise money to buy real estate so we could have a bigger property that's professionally managed and become a true business owner like Robert Kiyosaki talks about, do you want to be self employed? I tell my students, buy a six Plex. Do you want to own an apartment business by 60 units and hire a management company? So when I'm talking about this $10 million deal, you know, you can get a $7 million loan right now for probably in the mid 5% and it would be non recourse, and you could probably get three years of interest only, meaning for the first three years, you're going to have a higher cash flow. So like, this is a really good loan compared to 2021 when we could get 3% debt. It's not but remember that 3% loan was a short term loan. You know, it wasn't a 10 year fixed rate loan, it was a short term loan, and we all saw what happened with that when they raised rates so many times in such a short period. So the fixed rate debt is very competitive based on, like, the long term, 20 year average, and it's lower than it was when I started.   Keith Weinhold  32:55   Well, we've been talking about elements of your apartment market forecast, and of course, that's going to inform your Buy Box. Brad, you mentor students constantly and oftentimes we think about a Buy Box. We think about then in terms of geographic market, but as we look for an opportunity, we also might think about some other things in your Buy Box, for example, new build versus vintage build. So with all of this traveling you do, and you're in the markets, and you're informing students, and you're looking at students prospective deals as well. But tell us more about what a good buy box is for the near term in apartment buildings.   Brad Sumrok  33:36   Yeah. So look like what is in the buy box, right? So one is going to be your location. And so, you know, how do I select a good location? Just some tips and strategies around that is, I look for landlord and business friendly environments. In other words, if the tenant doesn't pay, do they get to stay or not, you know, so I like to be in market so that they don't pay, that we could legally, you know, not have them consume our product for a long period of time. So I also look at things like job growth and population growth, affordability gap. New supply is a percentage of inventory, you know, the new supply coming online in a diversified economy. So, like, you want to get your geographies nailed down. Like, where you buy matters, like, there's no substitute to I would rather pay more for a property in a location that meets that criteria than less for a property that doesn't. Yeah. So geography is important. You want to pick your property size, like, how many units, or what's the price point. Okay? And this is huge, because if you're gonna buy your own deal with your own money, which is another reason I prefer syndication. Let's say you have pick a number, 100,000 to invest. Like you can only buy a $300,000 property, two units somewhere, three units somewhere, you know. Or zero units somewhere, right, right? So if you have expanded your you know, your mind and your skill set to do a syndication 100,000 doesn't limit you to your own money, you know. And then I would say, Well, what is a great size for a first time syndicator is I would target somewhere around 60 to 80 units, and at 100,000 a unit, which is a ballpark price for maybe a nice B class property or high C Class property, and a market that meets the criteria that I outlined earlier. You know, you're looking at, say, a six to $8 million property. And so what you could do from there, Keith is, you could say, Okay, well, you know, this is why, like in my educational course, I use a $10 million property, because the numbers are easy. But even just say, Well, I'm going to do an $8 million property, you'd say, Okay, I need two to 3 million down, depending on the debt, right? And then I'm going to get a the balance in a loan, you know, because you could get a 70 to 75% loan. So then you ask, Well, where am I going to get to 2 million, right? If I have 100 I need $1.9 million and so then you got to start thinking about like, do I have access to people or work or in the neighborhood or at the community or at the church, you know, or do I go to masterminds and conferences and meetup groups like, where I saw you Keith last month, like, there's a lot of investors there with a lot of money, right? And some of them are looking to be passive investors. And so, you know, there's a whole nother conversation around, you know, raising capital. And if you can't raise capital, then you may want to bring in some people on your GP team that could help you raise capital, as long as you're following, like the SEC compliance and again, that's another discussion. That's the importance of having the buy box so you have your geography, your property size, your property class. You know, again, if you just want the new construction stuff. There's some people out there, like big name, famous people, that are highlighting their 800 unit a class deals that they're buying. And of course, like you or I that are just getting started, can't go buy that deal. And so why? You know the institutions are going after the large A class properties in the best areas. And so where I've made my niche Keith, and what I would recommend most people start is start with the older vintage properties, start with the 1970s properties, and then maybe work your way up to the 1980s and 1990s properties. And why is this is because the institutions don't want those properties, and they're still able to be professionally managed. Like, if you go and buy 100 unit C Class property, as long as it's not in a bad neighborhood with, like, high crime or whatever like that. Like, these are very honest, hard working, working class people that need a clean, safe and functional place to live, and you'll be able to get better returns on a C or A B class, also known as like the cap rate. And again, that's another discussion, but you'll be able to get a better return on an older vintage property than you would on a vintage property. And you're not competing with the institutions, but you're also not competing with the mom and pops, because the mom and pops are going to take that 100,000 they have and go buy a duplex. You know, they're not going to want to syndicate a deal. They're not going to want to have partners. They're not going to want to deal with the so called complexities of buying a company. And that's what buying an apartment community is, Keith, it's buying a company. You're buying a business that has an income stream already being generated those customers, they're called residents. They're called tenants, you know, but if you just go upstream from buying real estate or buying an apartment building, we're buying a cash flow producing business that's existing, that's in place, and then our job is to figure out how to run it better and more efficiently. You the   Keith Weinhold  39:04   You the listener, you might have access to, say, 500k in equity that's sitting in your existing properties. And some of these numbers that Brad and I are throwing around are rather large, $10 billion but one of the biggest epiphanies that I think your students have is that doesn't need to be much of your own money. We're talking about what's called the capital stack to take down a $10 million apartment building. Maybe you borrow seven and a half million of that. Maybe you raise 2 million of that from your other investors in the syndication, and then you put your 500k into the deal, and there you have $10 million in order to make that purchase. But yes, that does involve a learning curve and the SEC rules and all that. But the big takeaway here is you don't need much of your own money. You can leverage other people's money, even for the down payment. And Brad, you're also an expert at showing people how to pay almost. Zero tax, which is another discussion unto itself, but some of your students start with zero experience, and within a few short years, I mean, you've had hundreds of people that have either retired early or increased their net worth by over a million dollars. A lot of success stories,   Brad Sumrok  40:17   yeah, look, I mean, I started with no previous real estate investing experience. My experience was going to college, studying hard, getting decent grades, becoming an engineer, you know, being fired once, being laid off once, and reading Robert Kiyosaki books that motivated me to to go out and seek specialized education. And I think it was Jim Rohn that said formal education, like degree could get you a job, and specialized education like you can get in a conference or a mastermind or a mentorship program. And that's also how I started. I went to a weekend workshop back in 2001 and I bought the mentorship program. And boy, I'm glad I did, because, you know, that's how I got into my first 62 units. So you don't need to have experience. What you need to have is a powerful reason, a powerful why? Why do I want to be financially free? Like apartments is just a vehicle. I didn't choose apartments because I love departments. I choose departments because they cash flow, they go up in value, and you have amazing depreciation benefits.   Keith Weinhold  41:23   Yeah, I'm the same. I don't love apartments in a way. I don't love real estate. I love what these things do for me    Brad Sumrok  41:30   exactly. Yeah? So, like, you don't have to have experience. In the other category, of people that have come into my community that don't have apartment experience, a lot of them have real estate experience, Keith, that are doing, like, single family homes, short term rentals, or maybe smaller, multi unit deals. And they listen to a show like this, and they're like, huh, I want to transition from doing these smaller types of assets with my own money and self managing to scaling into a syndication.   Keith Weinhold  42:03   Brad has taken countless people from get rich education to got rich education. His core values are faith, finance, fitness, family and fulfillment. He is committed to helping people experience not just financial success, but personal fulfillment, purpose, contribution, freedom and Brad and his investor community have contributed over $1 million to charity. Is really the person you want to learn from if you want to think about going bigger with multifamily apartment buildings. This has been great, Brad. Let our audience know how they can connect with you and learn more?   Brad Sumrok  42:42   Yeah, sure. So I would say this is where I should just be very clear here, okay, but I'm gonna give a couple options, because that's what I'm so of course, there's a website which is my first and last name.com, B, R, A, D, S, U, M, R, O, k, for those of you on social media, I respond to my own social so you'll find me again. B, R, A, D, S, U, M, R, O, K, on LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook.   Keith Weinhold  43:13   Brad, it's been so valuable. It seems like American apartment buildings are in for redemption story here. It's been great having you back on the show.   Keith Weinhold  43:29   Brad and I both emphasize physical fitness, and we chatted about that a good bit when we were together last month. I think he looks better than me. To summarize, the reasons for this historic collapse in apartment building values. It was the combination of soaring interest rates, massive inflation, spiking insurance costs, construction soared, and it created an oversupply, and that oversupply still is not absorbed. In fact, according to the outlet apartment list, the National multifamily vacancy rate recently hit 7.2% that's the highest in the history of the index, which dates back to 2017 and that's chiefly due to apartment oversupply. Have apartments really hit the bottom? Brad just said, we're at or near the bottom, and it's a good time to be gearing up as far as what's coming. To give you an idea of new apartment supply, what takes about two years from construction start to completion. And now you can't just have all US apartment construction come to a complete stop. You have to keep people working. And there are almost 400 MSAs in the United States, so you couldn't coordinate a complete ceasing of construction across every area. So how about the level of new construction starts in apartment units today, and the way that HUD counts it is the number of units started in buildings of five plus units the recent peak. Was about 600,000 annually in 2023 and today it's closer to 400,000 there it is that slowing pace of new apartment construction. If you jump into multifam, be careful of properties with deferred maintenance, because understand that you have a lot of underfunded owners Now Brad can tell you specifically what to look out for his rat race to retirement event is March 28 and 29th in Dallas. It's a two day hands on workshop. You'll learn how to find apartment deals, how to underwrite deals, how to raise capital management and your exit. Discover how you can retire in five years or less by owning apartments again.

We've got fresh topics with some game changing monolog content that I'm going to share with you new guests, distinguished experts, we're going to break down an innovative way to sell properties that could completely change how you think about your exit strategy of the 50 US states. I'm going to discuss some awful states to invest in, including ones with population loss. On another episode, a distinguished subject matter expert and I are going to dive deep on does America really have a housing shortage, not in apartments which are oversupplied, but is there a shortage in the one to four unit space? That's our topic, because you probably heard contradictory information in the media about whether there's a shortage or not, and then some outlets say there's a housing shortage of 2 million units. Others, 10 million. They're all over the place. We're going to sort it out on an upcoming episode. Does America really have a housing shortage? Then the youngest guest to ever appear on the show will be with us. He's a 19 year old college student that has a real estate investing related major, and since last year, he and I have befriended each other.

How to Handle a Huge Cash Offer Gap on an Expired Listing (Institutional Buyers, Land Value & Transparency)Watch the full video replay: https://youtu.be/Kd0bVFlGODUJosh shares a real text exchange with Jonita about an expired listing where an institutional cash-buyer platform produced offers roughly $404K below the prior list price (example: last list price $759K vs best cash offer $379K) on a unique property with six acres. He emphasizes investigating mismatches by asking clarifying questions (like whether multiple parcels are involved), researching comps (including an active similar listing around $1M and a sold comp around $500K on smaller acreage), and being transparent with the seller about why offers may be off and when follow-up will happen. Josh recommends contacting Danielle at Zoom Casa for deeper due diligence and improved offers, potentially also reaching out to Quick Buy and simultaneously marketing the property via a “deal of the week” email using the Deal Sprint process (replay referenced at leaddeck.ai/sprints and replays at leaddeck.ai/cal). Doreen adds that land value may depend on zoning changes and highest-and-best-use possibilities, suggesting asking the seller about added value, calling the prior listing agent to substantiate pricing, contacting the zoning board about future votes, and exploring end-buyer uses such as horses, cattle, equestrian business, family compound, or subdivision. Josh reinforces that demonstrating a proactive plan for identifying the ideal buyer and uncovering highest and best use helps win listings on long-game, difficult properties.See how many leads are available in your zip code (and take a FREE test drive) at: https://LeadDeck.AI
