What happens when a well-known multifamily operator shifts focus to a completely different asset class? In this episode, Jim Pfeifer and Paul Shannon are joined by real estate investor and Praxis Capital founder Brian Burke to explore his pivot into assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing facilities. Brian shares why he's stepped away from multifamily, for now, and what signals led him to target the senior housing sector. He explains why this niche is coming out of a bottom, how it differs from traditional real estate, and what makes triple-net lease investments in this space both stable and lucrative. The discussion covers risk, underwriting operators, HUD financing, and exit strategies, offering passive investors a crash course in how to assess and potentially capitalize on a misunderstood asset class. Key Takeaways: Why Brian Burke is “done with multifamily for now” What made assisted living a timely pivot How triple-net lease structures reduce landlord risk The importance of operator selection and lease coverage How HUD financing boosts returns and mitigates risk Exit strategies ranging from lease buybacks to portfolio sales Where this strategy fits on the broader risk spectrum What passive investors should ask before investing in senior housing Disclaimer The content of this podcast is for informational purposes only.

The One Big Beautiful Bill is now law, and its impact on housing could be massive.The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit received its biggest reform in 25 years, including halving the requirements of how much of its funding must come from municipal bonds.LIHTC and the Opportunity Zones program were both made permanent, and major adjustments to OZs — including a wave of new zones to come and a new focus on rural areas — could supercharge housing development.It's not just a welcome step from the U.S. government, Camden President and Chief Financial Officer Alex Jessett said on this week's episode — new tax treatment and a deregulation push are absolutely critical to get housing supply up and start to chip away at the nation's affordable housing crisis.Register on Bisnow.com to join next Friday's conversation live, or check back here for the conversation after it airs. 

The recent passage of the Trump administration's "Big Beautiful Bill," which permanently restores major tax benefits like 100% bonus depreciation, among other tax breaks, has been very well received among real estate investors. On the other hand, multiple recent reports on the multifamily forcefully confront the possibility of a continued downturn in the apartment market, but the enormous amount of demand and the significantly lower levels of construction activity are clear indicators that, after more than 2 years of stagnation and cooldowns, apartment market fundamentals are poised for major positive growth moving forward.Link to sources discussed in this episode:Trepp: “Senate's 'One Big Beautiful Bill': CRE Tax Wins Clouded by Rising Rate Pressures” - https://www.trepp.com/trepptalk/senates-one-big-beautiful-bill-cre-tax-wins-clouded-by-rising-rate-pressuresThe Wall Street Journal: “Where Things Stand with Trump's Tariffs” - https://www.wsj.com/economy/trade/trump-tariffs-countries-goods-explained-b9878e1aCoStar: “US apartment rent growth eases for first time since early 2024” - https://product.costar.com/home/news/398384473RealPage: “Resilient Demand and Still-Muted Rent Growth Defines U.S. Apartment Market in 2nd Quarter 2025” - https://www.realpage.com/analytics/2q-2025-data-update/CRED iQ: “Tracking CRE Delinquency Trends: Insights from the Great Financial Crisis to Q1 2025” - https://cred-iq.com/blog/2025/07/02/tracking-cre-delinquency-trends-insights-from-the-great-financial-crisis-to-q1-2025/Learn more about Gray Capital's Midwest Multifamily Fund: https://www.graycapitalllc.com/midwest Download Gray Capital's latest report: ⁠https://www.graycapitalllc.com/future Sign up for our free multifamily newsletter here: ⁠https://www.graycapitalllc.com/newsletter⁠ DISCLAIMERS: This video does not constitute professional financial advice and is for educational/entertainment purposes only.

Forget everything you thought you knew about SEO.The game has changed—and it's called AEO: Answer Engine Optimization.In this episode of the Multi-PM Collective, I break down something I spotted at NAA's Apartmentalize Conference that's about to reshape Multifamily marketing. AEO isn't just a new acronym—it's a new mindset. One where AI engines like ChatGPT, Claude, and Anthropic are replacing traditional search.Prospects aren't Googling “apartments in Atlanta” anymore.They're asking for one inside an AI.And the smart players? They're optimizing their content—every property page, every piece of metadata, every image schema—to show up as the answer in that prompt.The kicker? You don't need to pay overpriced ILSs to win this game.You just need the right strategy and a website that's built for the prompt-driven future.I'm not knocking the ILS model. I'm just saying the future belongs to those who don't have to rely on it.

We're all talking about artificial intelligence in Multifamily. Efficiency. Automation. Cost savings. But what if we're missing the real story?In this episode of the Multifamily Collective, I explore how AI isn't just a tech tool—it's a gateway. A path to deeper connection, real presence, and actual human engagement in our communities.Forget about screens and distractions. Picture an office where the noise is gone. Where you don't just fix problems—you feel people. You connect. You listen. That's the future AI is building.Yes, AI will streamline operations. Yes, it will enhance PropTech infrastructure. But the true value? Giving your team the time and mental space to show up fully—with empathy, focus, and authenticity.People will pay double—double—for that kind of presence.So the question isn't, “How efficient can AI make us?”It's, “What kind of human experience can it unlock?”Let's rethink the real power of artificial intelligence in Multifamily.If this episode struck a chord, like and subscribe to stay connected to the conversation.

Ever dreamed of marketing your Multifamily communities with the flair of a Hollywood trailer?You're not alone.In this episode of the Multifamily Collective, I unpack a powerful vision that's no longer just a dream. Artificial Intelligence is now capable of producing cinematic-quality videos—on the fly—of your apartments, common areas, and neighborhoods. And it gets better...Imagine this: the moment a resident submits their notice to vacate, your system springs into action. AI identifies a prospective renter, creates a stunning, emotionally compelling video of the available unit, and delivers it directly to that prospect—all without human hands touching a thing.This isn't science fiction. It's happening now.And if your marketing or IT department has the muscle, you don't need to outsource it. You can build it in-house. Fully choreographed. Fully automated. Fully cinematic.Emotion sells. AI delivers. Let's put the two together.

You and I both know it — the future of Multifamily hinges on connectivity, transparency, and simplicity.In this episode of the Multifamily Collective, we're coming to you live from Apartmentalize 2025 in Las Vegas with Jared Sanders, President of CBX Connect.

Jared lays out why your residents expect instant, always-on connections — and how AI-driven homes are changing the game faster than you think.If you're a Multifamily operator, asset manager, or PropTech leader who wants to stay ahead of the curve without overpaying for services you don't need (yet) — you'll want to hear this.Pull up a chair and join the conversation.Like what you hear?Hit that Like button.Subscribe for more raw, real Multifamily leadership insights.Let's keep building better communities — together.

But what if that's only part of the story?In this episode of Multifamily Collective, Mike Brewer returns fresh from Apartmentalize 2025 to unpack a timeless truth... with a modern twist. It's no longer just about where your asset sits or even who's running it—it's about how you amplify both with AI.Mike lays out the evolving equation of success in the multifamily space:Location. People. AI.Yes, artificial intelligence is the new lever for unlocking efficiency, boosting performance, and freeing up your team to do what matters most—building real relationships.If you're in leadership, investing in PropTech, or just trying to stay one step ahead in the multifamily space, this is one conversation you'll want to catch.Like what you hear?

In this episode, I'm breaking down the exact cold calling system that helped me build a multi-million dollar real estate business — and yes, it still works in 2025.Cold calling might sound old school, but if you're serious about off-market real estate deals (whether you're flipping, wholesaling, or doing commercial acquisitions), this is the blueprint you need. I walk you through the full playbook — from list stacking and skip tracing to dialer setup, hiring virtual assistants, and knowing your KPIs.I've personally staffed over 500 cold callers across 78 countries and built call centers in Egypt, the Philippines, and Belize. So when I say I've tested this stuff, I mean it. Whether you're just getting started or looking to scale your real estate pipeline, I'm giving you the full backend on how to build a cold calling machine that prints leads — and revenue.If you've been on the fence about cold calling, give this episode a listen. This strategy changed my business, and it might just do the same for yours.Want to be around other people who are still doing deals?Join our free skool community below — with 800+ investors and agents, live calls, and coaching resources.

In this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan speaks with Owen Barrett, founder and CEO of Shine, a solar company built by apartment owners for apartment owners. With a background in finance and clean energy, Owen brings a pragmatic and results-driven mindset to a traditionally misunderstood corner of multifamily investing—onsite solar energy. Owen shares how his first exposure to real estate came after achieving financial independence through his solar ventures. Instead of starting small, he jumped into a 64-unit building, testing how large-scale solar could be layered into multifamily investment. That experience, although imperfect, helped shape Shine's business model: targeting properties with 100+ units where solar not only benefits the environment but also boosts returns. Jonathan and Owen examine the financial mechanics of solar energy in multifamily properties, from cost segregation and tax credits to NOI increases and tenant retention. Owen explains how Shine's proprietary software allows solar installations to serve individually metered units, a longstanding challenge in the space. He also breaks down how syndicators and institutional investors approach solar differently, and why understanding your audience is key when pitching value-add improvements. Owen emphasizes that solar is not about selling environmental benefits. It's about improving the bottom line. But the secondary benefits, such as tenant retention, lower utility inflation, and greater resilience during energy volatility, add long-term value. For syndicators and operators seeking to future-proof their assets, this conversation is packed with strategic thinking, cost-saving tactics, and clear-eyed lessons from someone who installs what he owns. In this episode, you will hear: How Owen Barrett transitioned from solar to multifamily real estate Using solar to increase NOI and attract investors Cost segregation, tax credits, and depreciation benefits Why roof condition is a make-or-break factor for installations The difference in decision-making between syndicators and institutions Leveraging solar to reduce tenant utility costs and turnover The reason early due diligence makes or breaks solar ROI Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Forget what you've been told about retirement. In this episode, Michael Blank breaks down why chasing the dream of sitting on a beach at 65 is not just outdated—it's dangerous. He unpacks the flawed math behind 401(k)s, FIRE, and single-family rentals, and lays out a smarter, faster path to freedom through multifamily syndications. If you're a high-income earner chasing control over your time, this episode will reframe how you think about “retirement” and show you how to buy your time back—on your terms.Key TakeawaysRetirement Is Not the Goal—Freedom IsTraditional retirement means doing nothing, and that's not fulfilling for most people.After a short break, high performers crave impact, purpose, and productivity.Financial freedom gives you options—to work, to rest, to choose how you live.The Math of Retirement Doesn't WorkThe 4% Rule requires you to save $3M+ for $10K/month in passive income—before inflation.With inflation, that number balloons to $7.3M to maintain your current lifestyle.Very few people are saving $2K–$15K/month for 10–30 years consistently.Why the FIRE Movement Falls ShortFIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) demands extreme frugality—up to 70% savings rates.It's built on sacrifice and still relies on fragile stock market assumptions.Once “retired,” most FIRE followers still live lean—without true freedom or fulfillment.Why Rentals Are Better—But Still Not EnoughEven buying one rental per year doesn't get you to $10K/month cash flow fast.50 rentals = $10K/month at $200/month per property—a huge operational burden.BRRRR and flips can help, but they're still slow, time-intensive, and hard to scale.Multifamily Syndications: The Fast Track to FreedomAcquisition fees from one deal can replace your income and give you a 12-month runway.Syndications have multiple profit centers: fees, cash flow, equity, and backend profits.With the right coaching, you can quit your job within 1–2 years—not 30.Break the “DIY” Trap: Why Coaching MattersMost people try to figure it out alone and stay stuck for years.Multifamily syndications are a team sport—scale comes from partnerships, not hustle.Without a roadmap, you'll hit a ceiling fast or never start at all.Connect with Nighthawk EquityJoin the Nighthawk Equity Investor ClubConnect with MichaelFacebookInstagramYouTubeTikTokResourcesTheFreedomPodcast.com Access the #1 FREE Apartment Investing Course (Apartments 101)Schedule a Free Strategy Session with Michael's Team of AdvisorsExplore Michael's Mentoring ProgramJoin the...
