Every investor has a deal that got away. For me, one in particular still stings—not because of market timing or bad luck, but because the failure was entirely within my control.In this solo episode, I share the story of a property I pursued back in 2018–2019 that had all the makings of a “holy grail” deal... and how I whiffed on it. More importantly, I unpack the lessons learned that continue to guide my investing approach today—and that I hope will save you from making the same mistake.Join us as we explore:Why “standard terms” like financing contingencies can cost you a deal in competitive situationsHow conviction and speed separate winners from losers in direct-to-seller negotiationsWhy collaboration with experienced investors could be the solution when you lack capital or balance sheet strengthThe importance of tying up a great deal first—and figuring out structure secondHow my approach today has flipped, and why I now act with the speed and confidence that once beat me outAre you looking to invest in real estate, but don't want to deal with the hassle of finding great deals, signing on debt, and managing tenants?

If you're trying to scale your real estate business and still asking “How do I do this?”, you're already falling behind. In this episode, Dr. Benjamin Hardy, author of 10X Is Easier Than 2X and The Science of Scaling, explains why success in multifamily hinges on shifting from "how" to "who." Michael and Ben dig into why most investors get stuck on the wrong path, and how committing to a bold vision — even without knowing the entire roadmap — is the real starting point. This episode is a must-listen for six-figure earners stuck in the single-family grind, trying to leap into commercial real estate and financial freedom.Key Takeaways1. Why Your 10-Year Plan Is Holding You BackMost investors set conservative goals based on their current capacity.A 10-year retirement plan with single-family homes isn't just slow — it's likely broken.Reframe your goal: what would it take to become financially free in 12 months?When the timeframe compresses, the current strategy breaks — and that's the point.2. The "Who Not How" Principle for Real Estate ScalingMultifamily investing isn't about doing more — it's about doing different.Instead of figuring out every step, ask “Who already knows how to do this?”The right team — mentors, capital partners, deal finders — collapses the learning curve.Syndication is the ultimate “who not how” structure: it's a team sport.3. The Psychology of Commitment and BeliefYou won't pursue what you don't believe is possible.Small “micro-commitments” — like booking a strategy call or analyzing your first deal — build belief.Commit to the outcome (financial freedom), not the tactic (buying rentals).Reverse-engineering from your end goal leads to radically different decisions.4. Letting Go of the Path That Got You HereYour current strategy won't get you to your next level.If you're clinging to rentals, flips, or even a high-paying job — you're on the wrong path.Letting go feels like quitting — but it's often the gateway to real progress.Ask: “What's the opportunity cost of staying stuck?”5. Dr. Hardy's Framework from The Science of ScalingIdentify your "floor" — the level where you're currently stuck — and why it's limiting.The most successful entrepreneurs redesign their systems, teams, and mindsets to scale.Scaling isn't just a process — it's a mindset of focusing on fewer things, done better.6. Multifamily as the Ideal Vehicle for ScalingSingle-family strategies are too slow, too small, and too dependent on your time.Multifamily offers higher leverage, scalable income, and team-based execution.The joint venture nature of syndication makes scaling practical, even if you're starting out.The ability to raise money or partner with operators creates fast pathways to GP status.Connect with Dr. Benjamin HardyGet your free copy of the Science of Scaling audiobook https://scaling.com/ Connect with MichaelFacebookInstagramYouTube

In today's Five Things You Need to Know in Multifamily, we're talking books, market shifts, and bold moves.I just finished (almost) Barry Diller's Who Knew? — an incredible ride from humble beginnings to industry legend. If you're in leadership, entrepreneurship, or just love a well-told story, this is worth your time.Next, a stat that caught my attention: short-term vacation rentals saw a 12% YoY spike in May while U.S. hotels grew just 2%. This “shadow market” is pulling on hotel performance — and similar competitive pressures are brewing in multifamily.Then, a BizNow headline hit me hard: Commercial real estate investors are done waiting for a rate cut. The ice is thawing. Deals are happening. If you can pencil them, even imperfectly, now might be the time to get in the game and show the market you're serious.We also talk about immersive media in multifamily marketing. Virtual unit tours, drone shots, neighborhood views — all designed to spark emotion. Because we buy with our hearts, then justify with our heads.Finally, the AI arms race is accelerating. Companies like OpenAI are making moves to integrate deeply into business ecosystems — property management included. Sooner than you think, AI could be your competitive edge… or your competitor's.If you want to stay sharp in multifamily, proptech, and leadership — hit Like, Subscribe, and turn on notifications.For more engaging content, explore our offerings at the[https://www.multifamilycollective.com](https://www.multifamilycollective.com/) and the [https://www.multifamilymedianetwork.com](https://www.multifamilymedianetwork.com/)Join us to stay informed and inspired in the multifamily industry!

This episode is brought to you by https://www.ElevateOS.com —the only all-in-one community operating system.Here are five stories and insights shaping the multifamily industry right now.1. Leadership Mindset:From Vistage—"Be thankful for problems. If they were less difficult, someone else with less ability would have your job." A reminder to embrace challenges as character-builders.2. 401(k) Expansion:President Trump signs an executive order directing agencies to allow private equity, real estate, and crypto investments inside 401(k) plans. If it survives regulatory hurdles, this could release a wave of capital into multifamily and commercial real estate.3. Distressed Assets:Fall Apartment Group in Dallas sends a major portfolio to special servicing—potentially signaling opportunities for discounted acquisitions.4. Major Portfolio Sale:Elm Communities sells 19 properties to Cortland and exits property management. Combined with other recent deals, this could mean the market's “iceberg” is starting to melt.5.

We've all heard it: location, location, location. But what does that really mean when you're underwriting multifamily deals—and how should it actually impact your numbers?In this solo episode, I break down the real, tangible differences between buying in a good location versus a bad one—within the same asset class.

In this episode, we sit down with Dave Janis, a former top-producing real estate agent who walked away from 85 deals a year and a million-dollar GCI to chase something bigger: building homes from the ground up.Dave shares how he pivoted from cold calls and burnout to managing multiple $3.5M new build projects in Boulder, Colorado — while building a flipping and wholesaling machine that funds it all.We talk about the mindset shift that sparked the leap, how he built a rockstar team in just 8 weeks, and why he now makes as much on some flips as he does on custom homes.This is a raw and inspiring look at what happens when you stop waiting for "someday" and start building the life—and business—you actually want.
Key Takeaways Take consistent daily action even if the results don't show right away. Over time, those small steps build momentum that leads to big wins. Seek out mentors who have walked the path you want to travel. Their real-world insights can help you avoid costly mistakes. Treat every setback as a lesson rather than a failure. The skills you gain in hard times will make you stronger in the long run. Focus on creating lasting value instead of chasing quick profits. Sustainable growth comes from thinking long term. Surround yourself with a network of supportive, like-minded people. The right connections can open doors you didn't even know existed. Keep learning and adjusting your strategy as the market changes. Adaptability will keep you ahead of the competition.

Small Bay Industrial (a.k.a. Flex Space) wasn't on your radar—and for good reason.But what if the most overlooked asset class in commercial real estate turned out to be one of the most profitable? In this episode, Cody Payne, SVP at Colliers, breaks down why Small Bay Flex Industrial is quietly exploding—and why more active and passive investors are taking notice. Cody shares how he transitioned from leasing to owning, how syndication plays a role in the space, and why this niche might outperform retail and office over the next decade. Whether you're looking to diversify your portfolio or find a less management-intensive asset, this is an episode you don't want to miss.Key TakeawaysWhy Flex Industrial Is Heating UpThe asset class has evolved: from basic metal garages to glass-fronted multi-use spaces.Demand is surging as small businesses, gyms, e-commerce, and retail users flood in.Triple-net leases and low tenant improvement costs make this a capital-efficient play.How to Add Real Value with Small Bay AssetsSimple cosmetic upgrades (like storefront glass) can attract higher-paying tenants.Reconfiguring larger units into smaller ones can boost PSF rent.Strategic side yards and outdoor storage add ancillary income.Investor Returns: What to ExpectTypical stabilized deals offer 8–10% cash-on-cash returns with low capex.Value-add plays or development deals can push IRRs significantly higher.Cap rates range from 6–8%, depending on market and quality.Management Made SimpleTriple-net leases reduce headaches—tenants handle their own maintenance.Very few after-hours calls; most businesses operate during daytime hours.Easy to find third-party managers who understand this asset class.Syndication in Small Bay: A New FrontierCody's early deals involved rolling his broker fee into equity—low-risk entry point.Syndication works well, especially for stabilized assets or light value-add.Investors like the stability, tenant diversity, and ease of management.Navigating the Market: Deal Flow and FinancingGood deal flow in most metros if your buy box is realistic (e.g., 7–8% cap).Financing is accessible: 25-year terms, 65% LTV, and ~6.25% interest.Banks used to avoid this asset class—now they're chasing it.Connect with CodyWebsiteBook: Flex Space DominationLinkedInConnect with MichaelFacebookInstagramYouTubeTikTokResourcesTheFreedomPodcast.com Access the #1 FREE Apartment Investing Course (Apartments 101)Schedule a Free Strategy Session with Michael's Team of Advisors

On this episode of Next Level CRE, Matt Faircloth interviews Jonathan Twombly, a former Wall Street lawyer turned real estate investor and boutique hotel redeveloper. They dive into the value of mastermind groups, highlighting how peer accountability, vulnerability, and structure have supported their decade-long growth in the CRE space.
