John Chang delivers a solo episode breaking down why housing affordability is being widely misunderstood and why institutional investors are not the real problem. He explains how demographic pressure from millennials, elevated mortgage rates, and years of underbuilding have frozen housing inventory and limited entry-level supply. John digs into job growth versus apartment completions across major U.S. metros, showing why rent growth has slowed in some high-growth markets while others remain better positioned heading into 2026. He closes by framing economic uncertainty as both a challenge and an opportunity for long-term real estate investors willing to act with discipline. Visit ⁠www.tribevestisc.com⁠ for more info.

John Casmon interviews Justin Spillers, a former real estate attorney turned full-time multifamily investor, about his journey from practicing law to building a vertically integrated value-add multifamily business in Ohio. Justin shares how his first seven-unit deal shaped his confidence, why focusing on tertiary markets along the I-75 corridor gives his team a competitive edge, and how disciplined underwriting plus heavy renovations drive rent growth. He also explains the importance of operational control, unscalable relationship-building tactics, and relentless process improvement in scaling efficiently. The conversation highlights how focus, systems, and creativity have positioned his firm to grow from hundreds of units toward an ambitious long-term goal.

Matt Faircloth interviews Micah Lacher, President and Founder of Anchor Investments and the force behind Mission Hotels. Micah shares how Anchor evolved into a “radically generous” platform—giving time, expertise, and GP profits to support nonprofits and local communities. He breaks down Mission Hotels' “Rooms for Rooms” concept (including how their tech-enabled, small-boutique model makes 100% profit-giving possible) and explains how Anchor turns “tired” shopping centers into thriving, modern retail by re-anchoring traffic and adding durable tenants like medical and omni-channel operators. Micah also walks through their off-market deal sourcing, what a “covered land play” means long-term, and why generosity in business is a muscle worth training.

Pascal Wagner interviews Bob Fraser, CFO and chief macro strategist at Aspen Funds, to break down how oil and gas can (or can't) fit inside a diversified portfolio. Bob explains the three parts of the industry (upstream, midstream, downstream), why most LP horror stories come from drilling risk, and why he prefers buying already-producing, non-operated working interests to reduce geology/engineering/operator risk. He also walks through what tax benefits investors often misunderstand (IDCs vs. depletion allowance), the importance of low leverage + hedging in a volatile commodity business, and the key red flags he'd watch for when underwriting deals (vertical wells, unrealistic pricing assumptions, and weak operator quality).

Ash interviews Michael Cobb, exploring how Michael built an international real estate, lending, and development platform across Central and South America by identifying gaps in foreign buyer financing and leaning heavily into community-centric development. Michael shares why legal systems, zoning assumptions, and cultural norms differ dramatically outside the U.S., and how misunderstanding those nuances can derail overseas investments. He also explains his long-term strategy of creating purpose-built expat communities using New Urbanist design principles, why branded resort residences in markets like Belize sit in a “sweet spot” for appreciation, and how thoughtful diversification outside the U.S. can strengthen both lifestyle and portfolio outcomes.

Matt and Seth unpack how capital raising has evolved from informal, often non-compliant co-GP arrangements to a more structured, scalable fund-of-funds model. Seth explains why private markets are growing roughly twice as fast as public markets, tracing the shift from the JOBS Act to today's AI-enabled infrastructure. The conversation dives into SEC compliance pitfalls, why transaction-based compensation is risky, and how separating capital raisers from operators protects both sides. They also explore how fund-of-funds structures can unlock better economics for investors while helping sponsors raise capital faster and more efficiently. Visit www.tribevestisc.com for more info.

This Episode Chris Lopez and Jim Pfeifer sit down with Scott Trench for a frank 2025 recap and a practical 2026 game plan. Scott reviews what he got right (rates staying sticky, supply-driven rent trends) and where the surprises showed up (gold strength, stock market resilience), then opens his playbook: selling a chunk of stocks, buying paid-off 2–4 unit Denver rentals, and allocating a small slice of retirement capital to private credit via a solo 401(k). Looking ahead, Scott focuses on multifamily supply tapering, demand uncertainty, and the 10-year vs. Fed funds dynamic. He also lays out a contrarian Class A office thesis (all equity, patient lease-up, operator quality over leverage) and shares how LPs might think about accessing similar opportunities. Key Takeaways Interest rates: policy cuts may not translate to lower mortgages if the 10-year stays elevated Supply and rents: 2026 likely absorbs the 2024–2025 wave, with rent strength returning market by market Portfolio moves: swapped high-multiple equities for paid-off small multifamily; reserved retirement dollars for simple-yield private credit Risk posture: early-career aggression → mid-career capital protection; leverage optionality comes later Office angle: best-in-market, newer assets with patient, all-equity business plans may offer asymmetric upside LP lens: prioritize operator track records in one geography, modest leverage, and realistic lease-up/tenant improvement budgets Disclaimer The content of this podcast is for informational purposes only.

Bill Krueger is the CTO at Yale's Investment Office.  Bill's unconventional path spans defense contracting, tech consulting, and a 13-year run at Bridgewater Associates before landing at Yale.Bill shares how to operate in a radically transparent culture, tighten feedback loops between decisions and outcomes, and managing the messy realities of growth, bureaucracy, and leadership.  Those experiences shaped Bill's views on trust, talent, and where technology truly differentiates.We turn to Bill's move to the LP side at Yale where his mandate is to modernize and innovate.  He explains his approach to enhancing infrastructure while partnering with key stakeholders; why he favors deep vendor partnerships over a large in-house tech team, and his views on taking a pragmatic approach to AI and the limits of traditional data lake thinking in an allocator context.For GPs and LPs, Bill offers actionable advice on avoiding the speed-versus-quality trap, staying close to the work as a practitioner, and designing tech and data foundations that can scale over time.Learn MoreFollow Capital Allocators at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@tseides⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠mailing list⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Access transcript with ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Premium Membership⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Editing and post-production work for this episode was provided by The Podcast Consultant (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://thepodcastconsultant.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)

Richard McGirr interviews Matt Drouin about what actually makes paid ads work for high-ticket offers—and why most people fail when they try to bolt ads onto capital raising without the right infrastructure. Matt breaks down the core “go/no-go” checklist (starting with a crystal-clear offer), choosing the right channel for your ICP (Meta for older, Facebook-group-heavy investors), and why your CRM, follow-up, and speed-to-lead matter as much as the ads themselves. They dig into lead-quality filtering (conditional logic on lead forms), training your pixel with the right conversion signals, and how to think about creative/VSLs, proof, and ad fatigue. Matt's biggest takeaway: stop DIY-ing it blindly—hire experienced help, because paid is a different beast than organic.

Smart investors aren't chasing upside anymore — they're prioritizing predictability, downside protection, and cash flow. In this episode of The Legacy Podcast, I sit down with longtime friend and lender Mike Zlotnik (‪@TempoInvestments‬ ) to break down how experienced operators are navigating today's real estate market. Mike and I go deep on what's actually working right now — why heavy value-add and new construction have burned so many investors, how interest rates reset the entire multifamily landscape, and why capital is flowing toward industrial, open-air retail, and long-term leases instead. We also talk candidly about investor psychology after the 2020–2022 run, what LPs are demanding today, how to think about risk vs. reward as your portfolio matures, and why staying in your lane matters more than ever in volatile cycles. This is a conversation for serious investors who want to protect capital, generate real income, and build wealth that lasts through multiple market cycles. Topics we cover: Why chasing upside is costing investors money How interest rates reshaped multifamily, retail, and industrial The importance of positive cap-rate spreads What predictable cash flow looks like today Investor sentiment after the last market peak Staying focused instead of chasing shiny objects Connect with Mike: Website & Podcast: https://bigmikefund.com Want help building a more predictable real estate portfolio?

John Chang shares a deep-dive outlook on the major forces shaping commercial real estate investing in 2026. He explains why job growth is expected to slow significantly, how policy uncertainty and AI-driven productivity are restraining hiring, and what that means for absorption and vacancies across property types. Chang also breaks down interest rate expectations, inflation risks, and why pricing is likely to remain relatively flat despite improving liquidity. He closes with a detailed look at institutional capital returning to the market, where that money is likely to flow, and how private investors can position themselves for stronger relative returns in 2026.

John interviews Dave Foster, breaking down how investors can legally defer capital gains using 1031 exchanges and why timing, preparation, and the right intermediary matter more than most people realize. Dave explains common misconceptions around the 45-day identification window, how overlapping closings and contingencies can dramatically extend real decision time, and why many investors fail simply by waiting too long to plan. He also covers red flags when choosing a qualified intermediary, limitations of using 1031s in syndications, and practical workarounds for investors transitioning from active ownership into more passive strategies.

Balancing the gut microbiome can transform the body's entire internal terrain—regulating immune function, reducing inflammation, influencing metabolism, and impacting brain health through the gut-brain axis. These interconnected systems play a critical role in the prevention and potential reversal of chronic illness. In this episode, Tee sits down with Martha Carlin, a pioneering citizen scientist and systems researcher who has spent the past decade uncovering the hidden links between the microbiome, chronic disease, and environmental toxins. After her husband was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, Martha left a successful corporate career to investigate the deeper drivers of neurodegeneration and metabolic dysfunction, starting in the gut. Martha is the founder and CEO of The BioCollective, an innovative microbiome research company that has collaborated with leading institutions, including Caltech, the University of Chicago, and University College Cork. Her team developed the BioFlux™ metabolic modeling system and Sugar Shift®, a patented probiotic that has been clinically shown to reduce endotoxin (LPS), improve insulin resistance, and increase microbiome diversity. Throughout the conversation, Martha and Tee emphasize the importance of mindful choices around diet, water consumption, and reducing exposure to harmful chemicals to support a resilient microbiome. The episode delivers practical, science-backed insights for anyone seeking better overall health, with particular relevance for women focused on hormone balance, metabolic health, and long-term wellness.

*Previously aired episode* Ash Patel goes full-send on authenticity in real estate and social media, calling out clickbait growth hacks and the hollow vanity metrics behind them.

John Chang shares a year-end perspective on where commercial real estate stands after 2025 and what he's watching heading into 2026. He breaks down the sharp slowdown in job creation following tariff uncertainty, rising unemployment among young adults, and how those trends are already impacting household formation, apartment absorption, and overall CRE demand. John also explains why institutional capital is quietly coming back off the sidelines, why retail may be the most resilient sector near-term, and how pent-up demand could drive a powerful rebound once economic clarity returns. Despite near-term choppiness, he makes the case that 2025–2026 entry points could set investors up well for the long-term cycle ahead.

John Casmon interviews Keith Miller about scaling from small backyard ADU and infill development projects into large-scale modular and manufactured home communities as a way to solve affordability and construction bottlenecks. Keith explains how subcontractor shortages, cost overruns, and timeline risk pushed his team toward factory-built housing, which offers faster delivery, more predictable pricing, and comparable quality to site-built homes. They break down the real differences between manufactured and modular housing, how Freddie and Fannie financing has changed the game, and why these homes can appraise and sell like traditional single-family residences. The conversation also covers Keith's transition from a full-time teaching career to real estate, the importance of building a rental income base before going full time, and how thoughtful development can create both investor returns and meaningful social impact.

Matt Faircloth interviews Maurice Philogene about designing a life around time freedom, personal fulfillment, and intentional investing, drawing from Maurice's journey from corporate executive, military officer, and police officer to real estate investor. Maurice explains how buying and systematically paying down small condo assets created early financial freedom, why ego-driven over-leverage nearly derailed him in 2008, and how discipline and simplicity became his long-term edge. They explore his transition into multifamily syndication, lessons from scaling too fast, and why he ultimately chose to deleverage, simplify, and prioritize lifestyle over endless growth. The conversation also dives into overseas investing in Cyprus and Lebanon, emphasizing relationships over spreadsheets and redefining success beyond net worth.

Want more money? Stop chasing it—and start structuring it smarter.

Pascal Wagner interviews Matt Faircloth, John Casmon, and Ash Patel in a year-end roundtable reflecting on the biggest lessons from 2025 across their own portfolios and hundreds of investor interviews. The group digs into why distress has been slower and more “behind the scenes” than expected, how liquidity, discipline, and deal structure mattered more than macro predictions, and why many LPs are now prioritizing cash flow and capital preservation over appreciation. They also debate bridge debt, LP risk assessment, and where opportunities may emerge in 2026—from small-cap multifamily inefficiencies to deeply discounted office assets—while emphasizing accountability, conservative underwriting, and adaptability as the cycle evolves.

In this powerful Abundance Thursday episode, Vinney Chopra and Gualter Amarelo break down one of the most misunderstood wealth principles: "Who has your money?" Vinney Chopra, who came to America with just $7 and went on to build a portfolio across multifamily, senior living, and hospitality, shares real-life lessons from decades of investing. Joined by Gualter Amarelo, best-selling author of Broke to a Quarter-Million and host of the Alchemist Nation Podcast, this conversation blends mindset, strategy, and practical wisdom into one eye-opening discussion.   Together, they unpack how money truly moves in business and investing, including:

Amanda Cruise interviews Chris Streit, CEO of CSA Partners, about where cost segregation stands at the end of 2025—why “100% bonus depreciation is back” doesn't remove urgency, because cost seg is fundamentally tax deferral and the time value of money still matters. Chris explains how investors can run look-back/catch-up depreciation on properties bought in prior years without amending returns, and why doing accelerated depreciation “wrong” increases audit risk (including IRS use of AI). They also dig into the often-ignored pain point—1245 recapture—and Chris shares how a “1245 exchange” approach can revalue short-life assets at sale to potentially reduce ordinary-income recapture and shift more into capital-gains treatment.

Matt Faircloth interviews Ash Patel, and the two hosts do a 2025 look-back / 2026 look-forward on what they're seeing across major commercial asset classes—plus where they think real estate operators are headed after the last couple years of “extend and pretend”. They start with why triple-net retail has stayed surprisingly strong (including the “no new supply” reality) and why office still feels “toxic” for many banks—creating an “office tsunami” of opportunities and pain as debt resets and distressed deals trade at steep discounts. From there, they dig into multifamily as a tale of two outcomes (legacy fixed-rate wins vs. floating-rate fights), the competitive “insiders only” nature of mobile home parks as private equity pours in, and why self-storage may be overbuilt—while still leaving room for niche plays like wine/boat/RV storage and service-heavy concepts.

Richard McGirr interviews Maria Zondervan, a fund-of-funds operator who pivoted from a career as an endangered-species wildlife biologist into multifamily investing after realizing she needed to build legacy wealth for her special-needs son. Maria explains why she disliked directly operating multifamily and instead built a model where she partners with other fund managers to write larger checks, negotiate better tiers/terms, and put more “eyes on the deal” during due diligence. She also breaks down how her group manages risk and investor expectations—doing fewer, higher-quality equity deals and leaning on an income fund for liquidity—plus how she qualifies investors to avoid placing “all their savings” into illiquid syndications. Finally, Maria shares her investor lead-gen approach: primarily in-person education and speaking, with social media used mostly to stay top-of-mind rather than as a primary acquisition channel.

John Chang shares a solo market update from ICSC New York City, outlining what he's hearing from top researchers and brokers across the retail real estate world.

He also highlights tailwinds from millennials moving into prime earning/spending years and notes retail's leadership in the NCREIF total return index.
