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 feel like life won't stop throwing punches? You're not alone — and you're not powerless.In this episode of Multifamily Collective, Mike Brewer reminds us of a simple truth: adversity is a brutal teacher, but gratitude is the ultimate antidote.When the world feels heavy — when setbacks, surprises, and self-inflicted wounds pile up — Mike shares one practical, powerful habit that grounds you: the gratitude walk.Step outside.Feel the sun.Remember how far you've come.Honor the battles you've survived — and the lessons that built your leadership.This message isn't just about personal growth. It's about showing up better for your teams, your residents, and your communities. Gratitude shapes leaders worth following.If today feels hard, lace up your shoes. Take the walk. Thank the struggle. Use it to fuel what comes next.If this resonates, hit Like and Subscribe. Stay connected for more insights on Multifamily, PropTech, and resilient leadership.

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.

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 brings decades of experience with giants like AT&T, T-Mobile, and RealPage — and today he's on a mission to simplify internet network management for Multifamily operators.We unpack the truth about Bulk Internet, Managed Wi-Fi, and the looming bandwidth boom. 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.

We've all heard it before—location, location, location. 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 2021, you could close your eyes, hand a property to a third-party manager, and still double your money. Not anymore. Today's market is a different beast—rising interest rates, valuation corrections, overbuilding, and tightening debt markets have completely changed the rules. That's why I brought back Josh Welch and Mark Shuler—two operators with over 4,000 units under management—to unpack exactly how they're navigating the storm. In this episode, they reveal: Why efficiency and process are the new unfair advantage How to scale property operations without losing control The hidden risks in today's debt markets most investors are ignoring How top operators are buying deals at 2018 prices… and winning Josh also shares how his in-house team is turning struggling properties around, even ones with 30% delinquency. If you're serious about navigating the next cycle and staying ahead of the herd…listen to the episode now. Take Control, Hunter Thompson Resources mentioned in the episode: 1. Josh Welch Website 2.

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.

In order for a larger multifamily dwelling to perform at its peak, it needs the right leasing personnel and the right maintenance team. The leasing agent creates the first impression of the property and influences the prospective tenant decision to rent at the property. This can make or break the deal out of the gate. On the maintenance side, an ornery repairman can alienate existing tenants and cause them to leave. Andrew Cushman, Founder and Principal of Vantage Point Acquisitions, operates a portfolio of multifamily assets in the Southeast. Andrew has prioritized working hard to optimize daily operations in order to achieve maximum performance of his existing assets.

Is insurance the hidden reason multifamily deals no longer pencil like they used to? In this episode, Jeannette Friedrich, Director of Investor Relations at Blue Lake Capital, breaks down how a global phenomenon called reinsurance is driving up insurance costs across the U.S. and eroding investor returns. What used to be a manageable line item has now doubled or tripled in some markets, threatening the viability of deals, especially in high-risk regions. This episode covers: What reinsurance is and why it impacts local multifamily investments How premiums have surged 30% to 50% in 2023 and 2024 due to climate risk and inflation Why insurance now consumes as much as 9% of gross income in some deals How this shift is affecting underwriting, deal flow, and investor distributions Red flags passive investors should watch for when reviewing deals What proactive sponsors are doing to mitigate insurance risk, such as shifting markets, increasing deductibles, and focusing on disaster-resilient CapEx Why conservative underwriting and geographic diversification matter more than ever To dive deeper into how insurance fits into broader 2025 risk trends, check out our H2 Multifamily Outlook Report here: https://hubs.la/Q03rwdbQ0  Timestamps 00:00 Introduction to Multifamily Investment Challenges 00:42 Understanding Reinsurance 01:20 Impact of Reinsurance on Multifamily Investments 02:59 Strategies for Investors to Mitigate Insurance Costs 04:08 Evaluating Sponsor Practices 04:35 Blue Lake's Approach and Resources Are you REady2Scale Your Multifamily Investments?

Key Takeaways Use forward-looking strategies when investing. Successful land deals are structured today based on projected market conditions two to three years ahead. Partner with experienced developers to access opportunities like land entitlement and horizontal development that are typically closed to average investors. Mitigate risk by reverse engineering deals. Secure exit contracts with homebuilders before initiating entitlement and development. Focus on scalable solutions. Land development meets long-term housing demands, especially in high-growth Sunbelt markets. Diversify your real estate portfolio by including high-growth, high-return assets like land development alongside cash-flowing multifamily. Look for investments that multiply capital, not just preserve it. This is especially important during your prime wealth-building years.

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...

In this episode, we're taking you behind the scenes of how WIIRE really started. What began as a few social media connections has evolved into a powerful and growing community for women in real estate. Our very first meetup drew 30 to 40 attendees—far beyond what we expected—and that moment showed us there was something special here. We never set out to build a business, but by listening to our members and staying true to our values of authenticity and connection, WIIRE grew organically.We discuss how we transitioned from hosting free meetups to organizing retreats (our first one sold out before we even knew what we were doing!) and ultimately developed a more structured, sustainable business model. Along the way, we embraced risk-taking, learned from our early missteps, and built credibility through partnerships and experience. We also share why having a supportive team has been a game changer, and how we're now leaning into online business systems and automation. This episode is all about the messy, exciting evolution of WIIRE—and a glimpse into what's coming next.  Resources:Simplify how you manage your rentals with TurboTenantGet your name on the list for when doors open to The WIIRE CommunityLeave us a review on Apple PodcastsLeave us a review on SpotifyJoin our private Facebook CommunityConnect with us on Instagram
