Most people never start in multifamily because they cling to three excuses: I don't have the money, I don't have the experience, and nobody will take me seriously. In this episode, I break down each of these limiting beliefs and show you how to crush them. I'm still a full-time teacher, a dad, hustling side jobs, and going through real struggles—yet I've closed deals, built partnerships, and created a path to financial freedom. The truth is you don't need cash, a polished resume, or someone's permission slip to get started. You need grit, resourcefulness, and the courage to take action. If multifamily real estate is your dream, this episode will prove that the only thing standing in your way is you. Stop waiting. Start moving. Let's buy buildings. Let's build empires.

What happens when a 35-year career in medicine meets the freedom and opportunity of real estate? In this inspiring episode, Lance sits down with Alan H., a seasoned healthcare executive who's turning decades of leadership, grit, and “man-in-the-arena” mindset into a new mission: building wealth, time freedom, and legacy through apartment investing. Alan shares his journey from managing physicians to managing properties, the lessons he's carried from entrepreneurship to real estate, and how small apartments are helping him create both financial security and personal impact.

Jamison and Lexy unpack a new survey suggesting cap rates may have peaked as Treasury yields stabilize—and explain, in plain English, what a cap rate is, why it moves inversely with values, and how rate cycles flow through underwriting. They connect the dots between the Fed's dual mandate, tariffs, and inflation risk; why a true rate-cut cycle would flip us from buyer's to seller's market; and how to think about timing with the classic “market clock” analogy. Then they dive into the numbers: apartment transactions up ~12% in Q2, pricing vs. 2015–2019, why renting is still far cheaper than buying, and why new supply is set to fall off a cliff—a setup for future rent growth. They close with Neighborhood Ventures' playbook: buy below replacement cost, prefer well-located distressed assets, and renovate (or not) where it pencils. What they cover: Cap rates 101 → cash flow ÷ value, and the inverse relationship to pricing Why stabilized Treasuries + expected rate cuts could mark the turn The Fed's inflation/employment balancing act—and what tariffs might do Q2 deal flow: multifamily transactions rising and confidence returning Rent vs. buy gap: why apartments still have room to run Supply outlook: deliveries slowing sharply → conditions for rent growth Strategy now: buy vs. build, replacement cost math, and timing the “7 o'clock” entry ⚠️ Disclaimer: This episode is for informational purposes only and is not tax, legal, or investment advice. Always consult qualified professionals about your specific situation.

In this episode of the Kiss My Assets Podcast, Jamison Manwaring, CEO and Co-Founder of Neighborhood Ventures, breaks down two major reports — one from NMHC and another from GlobeSt — that reveal how the multifamily market is shifting in real time. After years of record construction and tough operating conditions, permits and completions are finally slowing, signaling fewer apartments coming to market in 2026–2027. At the same time, nearly $120 billion in multifamily loans are maturing within the next 18 months — many with debt-service-coverage ratios (DSCRs) below 1.20x, forcing some owners to sell or restructure. Jamison unpacks how this rare convergence of shrinking supply and financial stress could set the stage for the next great buying cycle in multifamily.

Jamison and Lexy break down a fascinating Denver listing — the Lumber Baron Inn & Gardens — to explain how hospitality really pencils out. They cover “keys” vs. “doors,” what 1890s charm costs in maintenance, and why small boutique inns rarely support on-site management. Then they zoom out to today's housing market: why spring home sales fell despite record prices, what that means for buyer affordability and seller expectations, and how Taylor Morrison's $3 billion build-to-rent initiative signals long-term confidence in rental living. What they cover: Hospitality math → revenue, occupancy, FF&E, and risk vs. return Multifamily vs. STR: steady cash flow, lower intensity Single-family market correction and “strike price” psychology The rise of build-to-rent and what it means for investors ⚠️ Disclaimer: This episode is for informational purposes only and not tax, legal, or investment advice. Always consult qualified professionals about your specific situation.

In this episode, Jamison Manwaring breaks down the shifting multifamily landscape — from foreclosures and falling values to where the real opportunities lie. We discuss how rising interest rates, new supply, and tighter lending are reshaping the market, and why experienced operators like Neighborhood Ventures see this as a time to buy, not sit out. Jamison explains recent foreclosure headlines, including the story behind Tides Equities, and shares insights into how today's downturn differs from 2008. We also explore what it means for residents, investors, and the future of Phoenix multifamily.

#653: What happens when we actually check our predictions? In this episode we play clips from our 2023 conversation with Scott Trench from BiggerPockets and ask the uncomfortable question: were we right? Two years ago we made some big calls about the housing market. Mortgage rates had doubled. Prices hadn't crashed. Inventory was vanishing. Everyone had a theory about what would happen next. Now we look back with data and receipts to see which forecasts held up and which ones fell flat. Scott joined us in 2023 to talk about the lock-in effect, the shortage of sellers, and why homebuilders might be stronger than expected. At the time it sounded contrarian. Two years later the evidence is in. Homeowners with low mortgage rates are still staying put. Builders have taken market share by offering creative incentives. Multifamily supply has exploded in some cities, while small residential properties have held their value better than many expected. We revisit our old clips and grade them one by one. What did we get right about the housing market's resilience and where did we miss? You'll hear how rate volatility created bursts of demand, how regional migration reshaped supply, and why small investors can still find opportunities even when the headlines say otherwise. This episode isn't about victory laps. It's about accountability. If you've ever wondered whether experts truly revisit their own calls, you'll love this one. Key Takeaways The lock-in effect remains one of the most powerful forces in today's housing market Builders have been surprisingly resilient thanks to incentives and creative financing Multifamily oversupply is pressuring rents in some regions while small residential properties remain steady Market outcomes are more local than ever; national averages hide major differences Real estate predictions matter only if we're willing to go back and test them Resources and Links Our course Your First Rental Property open for enrollment through October 30 at affordanything.com/enroll Chapters Note: Timestamps will vary on individual listening devices based on dynamic advertising segments.

 Developers are squeezing more value from tighter sites—Automated Parking Systems for Multifamily can make the deal pencil. Klaus Multiparking's Chris Tiessen breaks down costs, timelines, and real-world ROI. In this conversation, we explore how Automated Parking Systems for Multifamily unlock density, revenue, and approvals when conventional parking won't fit. Chris explains the major system types (independent stackers, puzzle parkers, fully automatic), typical price ranges (~$12k per stacker space, ~$20–25k puzzle, ~$60k+ fully auto), and why many projects hit a ~5-year payback. We discuss when to loop parking engineers in (schematic design), retrofits (ceiling height, site constraints), service coverage, and how AI (plate recognition, billing) will streamline user experience. You'll also hear about Klaus's new Kvario “puzzle-in-a-box” for open lots—perfect for mixed resident/public use (think stadium/game days). If you develop in dense submarkets or need a value-add lever, Automated Parking Systems for Multifamily could be the difference between “no” and “go.”Connect with Chris Tiessen: multiparkingusa.com Chapters:00:00 – Introduction02:39 – System types: stackers, puzzle, fully automatic (Mission Impossible vibes)06:04 – Cost per space & how to think about ROI08:13 – When to engage (schematic design) & install timelines13:30 – Typical payback periods (3–5 years) & monetization ideas20:20 – Markets, service model, and reliability21:39 – How AI will improve UX, billing, and access control33:26 – Gino wraps it up We're here to help create multifamily entrepreneurs...

Economic pressure is shrinking returns and tightening capital—but there's a smarter way forward. In this episode, Michael Blank reconnects with Richard Wilson, founder of the Family Office Club, to explore how multifamily operators can add new strategic layers—not abandon their base.Richard explains why family offices are focusing less on projected returns and more on trust, positioning, and access. He breaks down how top operators are earning investor confidence, raising capital through debt and niche strategies, and using AI to scale their investor reach and event ecosystems. This isn't about leaving multifamily—it's about unlocking more sophisticated pathways to grow wealth and build influence.Key TakeawaysRelationships outweigh returnsInvestors commit capital based on trust, not just numbers.Track records are only as strong as the operator's transparency during tough times.Desperation repels capital—authenticity and long-term engagement are key.Multifamily is a foundationReal estate experience builds credibility that opens doors to new asset classes.Diversification into storage, assisted living, or industrial doesn't replace multifamily—it expands the investor's options.Many capital raisers evolve beyond single-operator deals by layering in flexibility and variety.Great fund managers think like media companiesCreating value-rich content builds investor confidence long before a deal shows up.Every touchpoint—grad parties, social media, one-on-one texts—is a chance to reinforce trust.Consistent communication and thoughtful follow-up outperform one-off pitches.Family offices play a long gameThey don't just invest in deals—they invest in people with generational vision.Credibility, track record, and staying power are non-negotiables.It often takes years of rapport-building before a single dollar is committed—but the result is deep, repeatable capital.Connect with RichardWebsiteLinkedInConnect 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 Nighthawk Equity Investor ClubReview the Podcast on Apple PodcastsSyndicated Deal Analyzer

Rebecca Thompson transformed her first real estate investment by strategically subdividing a Philadelphia duplex. After joining the WIIRE Community post-divorce, she discovered an off-market property for $265,000 with significant potential. Navigating the subdivision process, Rebecca worked closely with township officials and an engineering firm, investing $7,000 to convert the duplex into two marketable units. Her total renovation cost of $75,000 strategically positioned her for success, ultimately generating $35-$40,000 in profit. What distinguishes Rebecca is her problem-solving approach and commitment to learning. By leveraging community mentorship, she overcame the typical obstacles faced by beginner investors. Her method focused on understanding local housing needs, building critical relationships, and remaining adaptable throughout the investment journey.Rebecca's story illustrates that successful real estate investing isn't about perfection, but about persistent learning, strategic thinking, and willingness to take calculated risks. For female investors feeling intimidated by real estate, her journey proves that with the right mindset and support, significant achievements are possible—even while managing a demanding personal life. Resources:Simplify how you manage your rentals with TurboTenantGet in touch with Envy Investment GroupFollow Rebecca on InstagramMake sure your name is on the list to secure your spot in The WIIRE Community Leave us a review on Apple PodcastsLeave us a review on SpotifyJoin our private Facebook CommunityConnect with us on Instagram

People think being a multifamily operator is glamorous — that it's passive income, freedom, and kicking back while the money rolls in. The truth? It's chaos. In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of a real day in my life — juggling four jobs (multifamily operator, full-time teacher, surf coach, and waiter), nonstop phone calls, constant decision-making, and the family moments that keep me going. This is the unfiltered reality of what it takes to be an operator — and why maybe, just maybe, being an LP is the better move for some of you.

Welcome to the Real Estate Investing School Podcast! In this episode, host Joe Jensen interviews Dave Seymour, a former firefighter turned real estate mogul who got his start in the industry during the 2008 crash. Dave shares how financial hardship and an exhausting 120-hour work week led him to invest $27,000 in real estate education—despite being in pre-foreclosure. That investment marked a turning point, igniting a transformation fueled by mindset and implementation. He recounts his first wholesale deal that earned him $5,000 and how it validated his new path, ultimately leading to a successful career in flipping, wholesaling, and multifamily investing. Dave emphasizes that implementation and accountability are more valuable than inspiration alone, reflecting on how few of his peers followed through after the same training. As the conversation evolves, Dave discusses the strategic progression from small real estate deals to larger multifamily acquisitions and eventually into capital management and lending. He attributes his success to building the right team, leveraging partnerships, and continuously expanding his toolset. He stresses the importance of personal growth, faith over fear, and staying grounded through values rather than ego. Dave also critiques the over-saturation of so-called "experts" online and urges aspiring investors to live a life worthy of storytelling. He closes by explaining how today's market requires wealth protection over quick returns, and that long-term success comes from steady, intentional investing—especially in multifamily real estate.

In our 200th podcast episode, we're revealing our five-year journey from corporate jobs to successful real estate investing. Starting with zero experience in 2020, we quickly learned that success comes from persistent action and strategic learning. Our early years were marked by hustle and extreme frugality. We quit our corporate jobs within two years, acquiring multiple properties through creative financing and bold negotiation. Each mistake became a valuable lesson in building our investment portfolio. By 2022-2023, we shifted from pure acquisition to developing systematic approaches. We hired property managers, created business infrastructures, and learned to work smarter. Our 2024-2025 strategy focused on portfolio refinement, including selling high-maintenance properties, diversifying investments, and exploring passive income streams such as short-term rentals. Our biggest takeaway? Real estate success is a journey of continuous learning and strategic risk-taking. We went from being scared first-time investors to confident entrepreneurs, proving that with determination and the right mindset, financial freedom is achievable. For female investors feeling intimidated: if we can do it, so can you. Your financial independence is waiting!   Resources:Simplify how you manage your rentals with TurboTenantGet in touch with Envy Investment GroupMake sure your name is on the list to secure your spot in The WIIRE Community Leave us a review on Apple PodcastsLeave us a review on SpotifyJoin our private Facebook CommunityConnect with us on Instagram

Weddings with rich traditions don't just need timelines—they need translators. In this episode, Certified Wedding Planner and Certified Educator, Rima Shah joins CWP Society COO, Krisy Thomas to unpack the real work behind South Asian weddings: navigating multiple families, aligning expectations across generations, and setting boundaries that protect joy without steamrolling culture. From the first consultation to the final site visit, we share scripts, policies, and small shifts in language that build trust with parents and elders who may be new to professional planning.Rima walks us through the moments where things commonly go sideways—delegated catering oversight, competing design visions, and last-minute ritual requests—and shows how a single-point-of-contact policy, clearly defined roles, and genuine listening turn potential conflict into collaboration. You'll hear how reframing a single decor element preserved a couple's one big ask while making a mother proud, and how patient, active listening on a tense call revealed the true concern hiding beneath a list of demands: honoring a simple favor tradition at the right time.If you're a wedding planner working with South Asian families—or any event with layered traditions—this conversation gives you practical strategies to reduce friction: involve key family members early, document decisions, adapt to personality types, and connect every choice to what elders value most—respect, hospitality, and meaningful ritual. The result? Events that feel seamless to guests and deeply seen by family.www.cwpsociety.com | info@cwpsociety.com | IG: @cwpsociety | FB: @cwpsociety

The Power and Pitfalls of Niche Asset Classes  Paul Moore's perspective on “boring but beautiful” sectors like self-storage and small-bay industrial assets emphasizes their recession resistance and long-term cash flow. He underlines: “A great property can be ruined by a mediocre operator, and a mediocre asset can be saved and prosper under a great asset manager.” This theme of specialized knowledge—versus chasing trends—is critical for sustainable, risk-adjusted returns. 2. Leveraging Data, AI, and Hyperlocal Analysis Neal Bawa demonstrates how real estate investing is being revolutionized by artificial intelligence and predictive analytics. “All of our rent comps are now done by a tool called Manus…We're able to manage our properties better because our weekly reports on asset management are AI-generated,” Neal shares. The key is using tech not just for efficiency, but for smart, precision targeting in investment decisions. 3. Strategic Asset Management—From Landlord to Business Owner Ken emphasizes the essential mindset shift from simply being a landlord to managing properties as scalable businesses. “If the asset is in really, really good shape, it's well capitalized, it's maintained, financially maintained…then it actually helps when you start to exit.” Operational excellence—including robust asset management and leveraging both people and systems—drives sustainable value. 4. Aligning Values and Wealth: Impact Investing in Real Estate  This episode dives into strategies for doing well while doing good. Jay Papasan highlights, “The money is good for the good it can do...wealth is great because we can make great change with it.” Both he and J Scott discuss setting impact goals, engaging community, and integrating purpose into investment models—showing that profitability and purpose aren't mutually exclusive.

From a wrong-number job interview to running two Bay Area branches and finally launching his own shop, Josh Fleenor lays out how Pest Pros grew from two trucks to a regional force—anchored in multifamily, a “whatever it takes (the right way)” culture, and promoting leaders early so the company can scale without breaking. You'll hear the origin story, the first-year sprint to $747k, the blue-ocean play in property management, and how hugs, hard conversations, and clear guardrails keep the team winning year after year. You'll hear: The misdial that led to pest control, five years at Clark, and the leap after a dissolved partnership.Why multifamily became the beachhead—and how value + pricing flipped “dirt-cheap” accounts into real margin.The year-one LinkedIn blitz, $700k booked in property management, and testing channels by turning Google off.Culture in practice: “no excuses, find a way,” hugs and vulnerability, and guardrails so “whatever it takes” doesn't burn families out.Hiring slow for core values, promoting early to build leadership layers, and a structure that rotates HQ leaders into satellite offices.Tech & tools: cautious AI (great for SOPs, not for phones—yet), contests, and experiences that bond the team.

Let's be real- it's a tough real estate landscape right now. We've seen people leaving real estate, struggling to keep money in the bank, pay investors/lenders, etc. But we've seen good times, bad times, bubbles, and corrections, and real estate is all about the long game! 3 things from this episode: 1. If you're still in the real estate game, or have expanded during difficult seasons, hats off to you! 2. If you're newer and you're hanging in there now, you may not even know what the great times are like. So keep going! 3. If you've given up, let it be for a season. There's always time to come back. Real estate is a long-term industry, and you still have dreams to fulfill. Remember, it's better to buy in the trough than to buy at the top, but fear keeps people out of the game and in the near future, real estate will get very crowded again. As the current administration faces pressure to lower interest rates, the best way to hedge against inflation is to own and sell real estate! If you're hanging on or thinking about getting back in, you need to be in the rooms where deals are being discussed, negotiated, shared, and partnered on. We'd love to see you in the Deal Room.

Open-air shopping centers have become particularly attractive investments as supply remains constrained while demand grows. Even previously online-only retailers like Warby Parker have opened hundreds of physical locations, recognizing that customers still want in-person experiences for certain products. Meanwhile, industrial properties continue seeing strong demand due to reshoring initiatives and manufacturing needs. Multifamily remains a necessity-based investment that performs well across economic cycles.Not all commercial property is created equal, however. Zlotnick candidly warns about office space being a "danger zone" due to remote work trends. This level of transparency characterizes his investment approach, which prioritizes downside protection over home runs. "I would rather never lose money than make 10 home runs and 10 strikeouts," he explains, echoing Howard Marks' definition of risk as simply "the possibility of loss."For those interested in commercial real estate syndication, Zlotnick breaks down the essentials: typically, investors need to be accredited ($200,000 annual income or $1 million net worth excluding primary residence), with minimum investments around $100,000. The syndication structure allows investors to participate passively while experienced operators manage the properties, providing both cash flow and potential appreciation.Perhaps most compelling is Zlotnick's perspective on the educational journey of investing. He poses a thought-provoking question: "Are you learning to invest, or are you investing to learn?" This dual nature of investment education underscores that every decision provides valuable lessons, regardless of outcome.Ready to explore commercial real estate investing with a focus on predictable outcomes?
