Podcasts about multifamily real estate

In this episode, Nico takes you inside the ugliest closing he's faced yet — a 13-unit deal in Lakeland, Florida that nearly fell apart multiple times. What looked simple on paper turned into a brutal capital raise, endless back-and-forth with lenders and title companies, and a closing process that stretched out over a week of chaos. You'll hear the unfiltered truth about raising $220K that felt like pulling teeth, what it's like when your team can't deliver, and how even experienced operators get blindsided. This isn't the glossy “We Closed!” story you see on Instagram — this is the grind of real multifamily investing. If you've ever wondered what it actually takes to survive in this business, this episode is your reality check.

In this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan welcomes Axel Ragnarsson, Founder and Managing Partner of Aligned Real Estate Partners. Axel began his entrepreneurial journey by flipping cars in college, which eventually led him to real estate. Over the years, he built a personal portfolio of multifamily properties before expanding into syndication and capital raising. His focus is on acquiring Class B and C value-add multifamily properties, primarily in New Hampshire, with an emphasis on building lasting relationships and structuring deals that align incentives between operators and investors. Jonathan and Axel discuss the differences between transactional and relationship-driven investing, the challenges of scaling from small multifamily projects to larger ones, and why patience and consistency matter more than chasing exponential growth. Axel also explains how direct-to-seller strategies in multifamily differ from single-family approaches, how sellers often value ease and trust as much as price, and why creative deal structures can open doors that brokered deals never could. Their conversation underscores the importance of transparency, credibility, and long-term thinking in both acquisitions and raising capital from investors. If you're interested in understanding how to grow a multifamily portfolio the right way —through relationships, alignment, and steady growth —this episode provides a roadmap for approaching real estate with integrity and strategy. In this episode, you will hear: Axel Ragnarsson's progression from flipping cars to building an 80–90 unit multifamily portfolio Why he shifted from small self-owned deals to capital raising and syndications The mindset shift required for effective direct-to-seller outreach How relationship-building trumps transactional deal-making in multifamily investing The role of patience in scaling sustainably instead of chasing door counts Ways creative deal structures help unlock financing and opportunity Why aligned incentives between investors and operators are critical for long-term success Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

In this episode, I break down a truth that too many people miss: in multifamily, the hardest part isn't finding deals—it's raising capital. I walk you through the cycles I've seen and learned about: Post-GFC (2009–2011): Deals everywhere, no capital. 2020–2022: Capital everywhere, no deals. Today: Deals are discounted, but the money is tight. We'll cover why the game always shifts, why waiting for the “perfect” market is a trap, and how to think about capital preservation, cash flow, and growth in today's climate. If you're an operator, it's time to double down on relationships and strategic partnerships. If you're an investor, it's time to stop letting inflation eat your money and start deploying wisely with operators you trust. This is about fundamentals, mindset, and playing the long game.

Reid Bennett knows multifamily.   As National Council Chair of Multifamily at SVN and a 24-year broker across market-rate, workforce, and affordable housing, he's completed hundreds of transactions and advised lenders on more than 450 broker opinions of value (BOV) in just the past 18 months.   In my recent conversation with him, Reid cuts through the noise to explain what's really happening in multifamily and why sponsors and investors need to pay attention.   Here are five big questions he answers: Are the 450+ BOVs a sign that distress is about to hit multifamily, or just lenders marking time? Why are occupancies still in the mid-90s when everything else in the economy feels shaky? What's crushing NOI faster - insurance, property taxes, or payroll? How should investors think about workforce housing as a long-term hedge against oversupply at the top end? Why do Class A buildings show concessions while B and C rents remain sticky, and how does new supply really solve affordability? This isn't 2009, but it isn't 2021 either.   Reid explains why today's market feels like a slow-motion reset and what signals to watch if you want to stay ahead.   Tune in to hear Reid's unvarnished take.   *** In this series, I cut through the noise to examine how shifting macroeconomic forces and rising geopolitical risk are reshaping real estate investing.   With insights from economists, academics, and seasoned professionals, this show helps investors respond to market uncertainty with clarity, discipline, and a focus on downside protection.    Subscribe to my free newsletter for timely updates, insights, and tools to help you navigate today's volatile real estate landscape.

In this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan welcomes Kent Ritter, CEO and founder of Hudson Investing. Kent's path into real estate began after selling his healthcare consulting business, which left him looking for ways to diversify his capital. Starting as a passive investor in multifamily syndications, he eventually transitioned into active investing, experimenting with house flipping and single-family rentals before fully committing to multifamily. In 2019, he launched Hudson Investing, a firm focused on building wealth through multifamily syndications with a strong presence in the Midwest. Jonathan and Kent explore the turning points in Kent's career, including his decision to bring property management in-house. Kent explains how frustration with third-party managers pushed him to create his own team, which improved operational control, reduced turnover costs, and allowed him to align company culture with resident experience. They also discuss renovation strategies, with Kent emphasizing the importance of investing in upgrades residents use every day, such as faucets, thermostats, and cabinet pulls, while balancing affordability and return on investment. The conversation also touches on the advantages of focusing on Midwest markets, where Hudson Investing has found consistent demand and steady fundamentals. Kent highlights the value of building a strong investor community, noting that transparency, education, and shared opportunities foster long-term success. For both passive and active investors, this episode shows how thoughtful leadership, strategic decisions, and multifamily real estate can create reliable, long-term growth. In this episode, you will hear: Kent's transition from healthcare consulting to real estate investing Lessons he gained as a passive investor before becoming an operator The benefits of bringing property management in-house Renovation strategies that balance affordability with meaningful upgrades How reducing turnover drives stronger property performance The value of curb appeal and amenities alongside interior finishes Opportunities found in Midwest multifamily markets The role of community and investor alignment in scaling a portfolio Tax strategies that can improve investment outcomes Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Calm on the Surface, Distress Below: Joe Blackbourn on the State of Sunbelt Multifamily   The Eye of the Storm? When my podcast guest this week, Joe Blackbourn, president and founder of Everest Holdings, stepped in front of a room of ULI members in late 2024, he titled his multifamily market forecast “An Underdressed Weatherman Gets Sent Into a Hurricane.”   The image was evocative – and accurate. Multifamily investors, developers, and lenders had been navigating gale-force winds of rising rates, inflation shocks, and structural cost resets. And yet, as Blackbourn noted in my conversation with him, today the industry still appears eerily calm.   “There's a lot of stormy weather on the horizon, and, like a hurricane, we don't know quite where it's going to land or how bad it's going to be.”   The Invisible Cost of ‘Calm' Core inflation may be retreating, but the real story, Blackbourn argues, is not about the rate of change. It's about the baseline shift.   “Even if we're at just over 2% now, it's still a 30% increase in a very short period of time,” he said, referring to food prices, but with implications for housing as well. Home prices in many U.S. markets, particularly across the Sunbelt, have surged by 30–50% since 2020. That repricing is likely to stick.   “It's really difficult to give that pricing back,” he added. “Short of some real economic calamity, the best we can manage is slower growth, not a decline in consumer pricing.”   That same principle is locking up real estate deals. Rent growth has slowed, but operating expenses have not. The result is compressed margins, sluggish NOI, and a widespread inability to transact or refinance.   Multifamily: Where Distress Hides Quietly On paper, the multifamily sector looks surprisingly stable. Cap rates for high-quality assets remain in the 5.0%–5.25% range, and transaction volume is beginning to pick up in select markets. But beneath the surface, stress is mounting.   “There's a lot of stress at the balance sheet level,” said Blackbourn. “And it's not being helped by property-level performance.”   In many Sunbelt markets, especially those with pandemic-era construction booms, organic NOI growth is flat or negative. Rent collection is delayed, staffing is inconsistent, and delinquencies are rising.   “We're seeing situations where it's taking all month to get the rents collected,” he noted. “You'd be at the 15th of the month with less than 50% of rents in the door.”   Yet distress sales remain rare. Why? Blackbourn offers two reasons: Lender tactics: Debt funds are “hope-certificating” properties, granting extensions, persuading sponsors to inject capital, and delaying the inevitable. Human psychology: “There's a survival instinct at work,” he observed. “People will do whatever they can to stay in the game.” What Keeps Deals Frozen? Everyone is waiting. Borrowers, lenders, and investors are all betting on falling interest rates to solve their problems. But Blackbourn remains skeptical.   “I don't think it's inevitable that rates come down,” he said. “And yet, it's within the debt fund's interest to persuade borrowers that they will.”   Many current valuations are premised on that hope. But even if rates do drop, the bid-ask spread remains wide. In his words, “It feels like this really taut balloon; fragile.”   Why Aren't Cap Rates Rising Faster? One of the stranger dynamics in today's market is that cap rates haven't risen much, despite the Fed holding policy rates above 5%. High-quality assets are still trading at 5%–5.25% caps. How is that possible?   “If you have the right basis, you can sell into that,” Blackbourn explained. “The pricing for high-quality assets hasn't jumped that much.”   But for vintage assets, pricing capitulation is coming. Lenders are forcing assets to market when no other solutions are viable. And while buyers are circling, few are pouncing.   Supply, Demand, and the Surprise of Absorption Another surprise: absorption is holding up remarkably well.   “We're seeing absorption that's about keeping up with supply,” Blackbourn noted. “In some markets, we're about to hit the point where we're absorbing more units than we're adding.”   This matters. Historically, once net absorption overtakes new deliveries, rents begin to recover, often before occupancy hits 95%. And that could happen sooner than expected in markets like Phoenix.   “We're modeling that inflection point this year,” he said.   But again, bifurcation matters. New Class A developments are attracting high-income renters,  people who once would have bought homes. Meanwhile, vintage B and C properties are seeing tenants who are increasingly rent-burdened.   “In new projects, we're seeing a higher-income demographic than we've ever seen,” said Blackbourn. “But in older assets, collections are way down. Rents are up 30%, but incomes aren't.”   The Forecast: Q3 and Q4 2025 Looking ahead to the rest of the year, Blackbourn sees a mixed bag. More volume is expected from both opportunistic buyers and forced sellers. Permits are collapsing, setting up an eventual rebound in pricing power. Selective outperformers will emerge in submarkets with favorable rent-to-income ratios. “We could see surprising outperformance in the asset class sooner than people think,” he said. “But it will be bifurcated by quality, by tenant income, and by geography.”   In short, the underdressed weatherman may not be in the eye of the storm just yet – but the wind is shifting.

What if I told you that nobody cares about your effort—until you win? This is the brutal truth about building anything meaningful: your work is invisible until it pays off. In this raw, unfiltered solo episode, I pull back the curtain on what it really takes to build a real estate business while working a W2, raising a family, and getting kicked in the teeth by the grind. No exits. No millions. No highlight reel. Just truth. I've lost money. I've closed deals after restaurant shifts. I've stayed up late, missed vacations, and poured everything into a dream most people won't care about until it “works.” This episode is for the ones still in the fight. The ones building with no applause. The ones doing it anyway. If you're grinding in silence, doubting yourself, or waiting for someone to care—this is your sign to keep going.

In this milestone 100th episode, Craig McGrouther and I share an incredible news: Preserve at Copperleaf, a 240-unit, 2003-vintage apartment community Lone Star Capital acquired in May 2024, just closed on a hugely successful 45% cash out refinance! We acquired this property for $34M and it appraised at $53.7M, allowing investors to receive 45% of their investment back while the remaining equity continues earning 8% cash flow. We break down how we achieved this through strategic timing, tax exemptions, and securing a 7-year full-term interest-only Freddie Mac loan at 65% LTV. We also dive deep into our unique anniversary-based budgeting system that keeps us accountable year-round rather than scrambling during "budget season," plus how our operations team earns bonuses based on actual performance versus budget across revenue, R&M, payroll, and expenses.Apply to attend the LSC Summit 2025:www.lscsummit.com Download our FREE Passive Investor Guide:https://www.lscre.com/content/passive-investor-guide Subscribe to our newsletter and get the FREE Underwriting Toolkit:https://www.lscre.com/resource/fof-underwriting-toolkitLearn more about Lone Star Capital:www.lscre.comFollow me on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-beardsleyRead my latest articles:https://www.lscre.com/blog

In today's episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan interviews Andrew Cushman, founder of Vantage Point Acquisitions, to explore the evolution of his investing career and how he helps others build wealth through multifamily real estate. After leaving a stable career in chemical engineering in 2007, Andrew made a bold leap into house flipping and eventually multifamily investing, where he has now syndicated or repositioned over 3,000 units. Andrew explains why flipping quickly became unsustainable for him and his wife, and how they transitioned into multifamily with the help of a mentor. His first apartment deal was a 92-unit building, and although it was far from easy, that launch laid the groundwork for the portfolio and investor network he manages today. With an approach rooted in long-term thinking, strategic geographic focus, and patient underwriting, Andrew shares how his firm continues to navigate uncertain markets without sacrificing performance or investor trust. Jonathan and Andrew cover factors in evaluating multifamily deals, like tenant demographics, hold timelines, and operator experience, and why many of the syndication struggles happening now can be traced to poor management and unrealistic expectations. They discuss the importance of investor education, the illusion of passive income, and the mindset shifts that make syndications work. This conversation underscores the importance of a disciplined approach to underwriting, market selection, and investor relations in driving sustainable growth, even during unpredictable economic cycles. For anyone considering multifamily investing, whether actively or passively, Andrew offers a realistic and clear-headed perspective on what it takes to succeed. In this episode, you will hear: Andrew's path from chemical engineer to multifamily operator Lessons from scaling a portfolio beyond 3,000 units The value of mentorship in launching a real estate career What separates reliable operators from risky ones Ways investor communication supports long-term trust Red flags that emerged in syndications post-2020 How regional focus contributes to stronger performance Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.
