Podcasts about NOI

“Noi soli e voi lontani” è un delicato inno all'amore eterno, un viaggio sonoro attraverso i ricordi di chi non c'è più. Alessandro Romano, con la sua voce avvolgente, ci invita a rivivere ogni attimo condiviso, tessendo una melodia che abbraccia l'anima e fa vibrare il cuore. Ogni nota è una carezza, un dolce richiamo alla presenza di chi amiamo, anche quando la distanza si fa incolmabile. Questo brano è una poesia d'amore intramontabile, capace di farci sentire vicini a chi vive nei nostri ricordi, un legame che trascende il tempo e lo spazio.

Si avvicinano i mondiali di calcio, quest'anno ospitati congiuntamente da Canada, Messico e Stati Uniti: sulla carta saranno l'evento sportivo più redditizio di sempre, con ricavi stimati in oltre 10 miliardi di dollari. Se siamo ormai abituati a considerare il calcio dei grandi club come un calcio ormai spersonalizzato e senz'anima, in mano a colossi finanziari globali, il discorso cambia quando si pensa alle nazionali di calcio. Qui, per molti tifosi, sopravvive ancora un'atmosfera fatta di valori sportivi, di attaccamento alla propria squadra come simbolo della propria identità. Eppure i numeri di questo mondiale, che produrrà profitti mai visti prima in un evento sportivo, raccontano una storia diversa.Una delle domande che ci siamo posti, nel Dossier andato in onda nel corso della settimana, è se l'anima del calcio esista ancora. E la risposta è sì: l'abbiamo trovata in piccole realtà, in società calcistiche che resistono e si oppongono al modello dominante. Ma quell'anima può esistere anche nel sistema globale del calcio, fatto di enormi interessi finanziari, di diritti miliardari, di fondi di investimento e di multinazionali?Partiremo da qui con i nostri ospiti: Marzio Minoli, giornalista economico della RSI, tifoso e amante dello sport, autore del libro uscito due anni fa Noi tifosi. Istruzioni per l'uso (Fontanaedizioni); e Pippo Russo, sociologo, giornalista e scrittore, che sul calcio ha scritto moltissimo. Ricordo, tra i tanti, il suo libro del 2014, dal titolo Gol di rapina – il lato oscuro del calcio globale (Edizioni Clichy)

Nella mattinata di martedì 9 giugno, in Degiornalist - Gli Spaccanotizie, i nostri Fabiana e Claudio Chiari hanno ospitato Paola Schwarz, responsabile comunicazione e raccolta fondi sia per Fondazione CondiVivere che per la Cooperativa sociale Sì, Si Può Fare che attua i progetti che la fondazione crea con il comitato scientifico (Associazione Aemocon). Paola ci ha illustrato la missione delle due realtà milanesi nate per supportare famiglie con figli affetti da disabilità cognitive. Il progetto adotta il metodo pedagogico di Nicola Cuomo, che mette al centro l'individuo e i suoi desideri piuttosto che gli stereotipi legati a una diagnosi clinica. «Il nostro approccio invece è totalmente diverso. Noi partiamo dalla persona, cerchiamo di capire - indipendentemente dalla sindrome - chi è questa persona, quali sono i suoi desideri, quali sono le sue peculiarità ed è per quello che il metodo si chiama "l'emozione di conoscere, il desiderio di esistere". Cerchiamo di tirar fuori da ogni persona le proprie specificità, la poniamo nelle condizioni di esprimere ciò che vuole della propria vita», ci spiega Paola. Attraverso iniziative concrete come il negozio Bottega Nostrano, l'organizzazione offre infatti percorsi di autonomia lavorativa agendo come una vera palestra per il mondo reale. Parallelamente, vengono presentati modelli di autonomia abitativa che spaziano dalla scuola di vita indipendente fino a progetti di co-housing tra persone disabili e normodotate. L'obiettivo finale è garantire una vita dignitosa e integrata nella società, preparando con cura il delicato passaggio del "dopo di noi".

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/8536OMELIA XI DOMENICA T. ORD. - ANNO A (Mt 9, 36-10,8)di Giacomo Biffi La pagina del Vangelo di Matteo, che abbiamo ascoltato, ci descrive la prima missione degli apostoli.Dal contesto della narrazione appare chiaro che Gesù la considera una missione provvisoria e sperimentale: quasi una prova generale in vista della missione definitiva di cui li incaricherà dopo la risurrezione, quando darà l'ordine di andare a tutte le genti non solo ad annunziare il Regno di Dio, ma anche a battezzare e a guidare i credenti in conformità ai suoi comandi.Alcune delle raccomandazioni qui contenute (per esempio quella di non uscire dai confini di Israele) si spiegano col carattere di preparazione e di saggio di questa prima evangelizzazione. Tuttavia nel suo insieme l'episodio è esemplare, ricco di insegnamenti, e merita tutta la nostra attenzione. Noi ci limiteremo a commentare in breve alcune frasi particolarmente rilevanti di questo brano.LA CHIESA, FRUTTO DELLA COMPASSIONE DIVINA PER L'UMANITÀ SMARRITAVedendo le folle, ne sentì compassione. Come si vede, proprio la compassione di Cristo viene indicata come il motivo sostanziale della decisione di eleggere tra i suoi discepoli dei capi responsabilizzati e di avviare così una precisa struttura ecclesiale. La ragione profonda della missione apostolica è lo stato di miseria dell'umanità: una miseria che punge il cuore del Figlio di Dio. La Chiesa dunque nasce dalla pietà del Signore e dalla sua volontà di salvezza.Qual è la natura di questa miseria?Erano stanche, sfinite, come pecore senza pastore. La stanchezza, il disorientamento, la disgregazione sono le note dolorose che l'occhio penetrante dell'Unigenito del Padre, che è diventato uno di noi, rileva nell'umanità abbandonata a sé sola.È un giudizio che è ancora pienamente attuale. Anche l'uomo di oggi spesso si sente stanco: stanco di lottare contro mille difficoltà che gli amareggiano l'esistenza; stanco di faticare senza risultato e qualche volta addirittura senza perché; stanco di non essere compreso nelle sue aspirazioni più essenziali e più vere; stanco di essere imbrogliato; stanco di essere sopraffatto da mille soprusi; stanco di essere vittima di molte ingiustizie. Magari crede di poter uscire da questa prostrazione con riforme sociali e cambiamenti politici, anche legittimi, ma che alla fine lo lasciano sempre deluso.Poi l'uomo di oggi è immerso nella confusione dei pareri, frastornato da mille messaggi e da mille proposte; e non sa più a chi credere.E trova la divisione e il conflitto perfino là dove gli sembrerebbe giusto attendersi un po' di concordia (per esempio nella propria famiglia, nel proprio ambiente di lavoro e di vita, nella propria comunità di preghiera).Perciò è smarrito: non sa più dove andare, non sa più quale sia la sua strada, non sa più quale sia il suo destino.Ebbene, appunto per venire incontro a questa disperata condizione degli uomini, Gesù sceglie i Dodici; e così dà inizio alla Chiesa.La Chiesa è dunque un dono che ci è dato per farci uscire dalla nostra stanchezza, dal nostro disorientamento, dalla nostra disgregazione; e guai a trascurare o peggio a disprezzare i doni di Dio!La Chiesa ci è data come aiuto provvidenziale a superare i nostri smarrimenti e ad approdare alle certezze vitali: stiamo attenti a non fare della nostra capacità di litigare, dei nostri problematicismi, della nostra inesauribile propensione a dubitare, quasi un titolo di merito e un segno di più consapevole ecclesialità.La Chiesa ci è data come mezzo di unificazione e di concordia: e allora non dobbiamo diventare mai all'interno della famiglia dei credenti profeti di divisione e di contestazione, magari all'insegna del diritto al pluralismo.L'INCONTRO INTIMO E PERSONALE CON CRISTOChiamò a sé i Dodici. La scelta è sua, sua la chiamata. Gli apostoli perciò non saranno tanto dei rappresentanti della "base", quanto dei "mandati" da Cristo agli uomini, i quali, in virtù della loro presenza, della loro parola, della loro azione, potranno e dovranno diventare una comunità di fratelli.Chiamò a sé. Prima di andare tra gli uomini, l'apostolo deve andare a Gesù. Prima ancora di scoprire tutte le necessità e le sofferenze del mondo che lo aspetta, deve scoprire personalmente l'amore appassionato e coinvolgente di colui che lo chiama; diversamente non è un apostolo.Prima di essere un "mandato", è un "chiamato", che deve fare della sua inalienabile intimità con Cristo la ragione della sua esistenza e l'anima della sua operosità.La preghiera è indispensabile per evangelizzareGli operai sono pochi. Pregate dunque... È una parola un po' sorprendente. Il mondo ha bisogno di apostoli, e il Signore dei cuori ritiene necessaria la nostra preghiera perché ci siano operai per la messe del Regno di Dio. Il Signore vuole che ci sia la nostra implorazione anche per le cause che stanno a cuore soprattutto a lui.Del resto, il Vangelo di Luca - narrando lo stesso episodio - ci informa che Gesù passò in preghiera l'intera notte precedente la elezione degli apostoli.Quando mancano i sacerdoti, noi siamo portati a studiare le cause del fenomeno, a organizzare inchieste, a promuovere sondaggi di opinione. Ed è giusto. Gesù però ci dà un consiglio più semplice e ci dice: Pregate...Forse questa è la più notevole diversità che c'è tra noi e il Vangelo. Noi riteniamo che i problemi del mondo si risolvano soprattutto attraverso una migliore conoscenza del mondo. Il Vangelo ci insegna che i problemi del mondo si risolvono soprattutto attraverso una più grande e intensa familiarità con Dio.

La Fashion Revolution Week 2026 ha scelto come tema l'Active Collaboration. Noi abbiamo scelto di raccontarla attraverso episodi nella storia della moda che mostrassero la forza dell'unione.Come la "battaglia" tra designer vinta grazie all'unione delle forze. O quando la moda ha detto no al razzismo sulle passerelle. Quando una collaborazione ha aperto crepe reali in un sistema tra i più chiusi e che ha anche mostrato, con tutta la sua fatica, quanto sia difficile mantenere viva la pressione quando le istituzioni perdono interesse. Quando una nota casa di moda decide di supportare gli studenti. Ancora, quando una lettera aperta ha fatto tremare le grandi maison e tante altre storie.Una diretta instagram in cui, insieme alla designer Carlotta Redaelli, abbiamo ripercorso alcuni episodi della storia della moda che raramente vengono raccontati insieme — e che, messi in fila, compongono una narrativa sorprendente.Voce: Arianna De Biasi, Carlotta RedaelliMusica: Quiet flight, Paul Yudin, Upbeat License code: LITDGBJNGCKWGHWZ Looming, Yeti Music, Upbeat License code: PHVBHPKWWIRYVL8W

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/8567OMELIA CORPUS DOMINI - ANNO A (Gv 6,51-58)di Don Stefano Bimbi Dopo aver riflettuto e celebrato domenica scorsa il mistero della Santissima Trinità, oggi è la volta del Corpus Domini, la solennità del Corpo e del Sangue di Cristo. Non ricordiamo soltanto un gesto compiuto da Gesù duemila anni fa durante l'Ultima Cena che anticipava il sacrificio della croce. Oggi adoriamo una presenza: Gesù Cristo è realmente presente nell'Eucaristia con il suo Corpo, Sangue, Anima e Divinità.Nel Vangelo abbiamo ascoltato parole che scandalizzarono molti ascoltatori di Gesù: «La mia carne è vero cibo e il mio sangue vera bevanda» (Gv 6,55). Quasi tutti i discepoli, dopo averle sentite, se ne andarono. Se Gesù avesse voluto parlare soltanto in senso simbolico, avrebbe avuto l'occasione perfetta per spiegarsi meglio e richiamarli indietro, ma non lo fece. Anzi lasciò che se ne andassero, perché stava annunciando una verità fondamentale della fede: nell'Eucaristia non riceviamo un simbolo, ma riceviamo Lui stesso.Per comprendere la grandezza di questo dono dobbiamo ricordare una verità che spesso dimentichiamo. Noi abbiamo bisogno di nutrire il corpo per vivere, ma abbiamo bisogno di nutrire anche l'anima. Quando una persona trascura il cibo per molti giorni, il corpo si indebolisce. Allo stesso modo, quando trascura l'Eucaristia, l'anima perde forza spirituale. Si continua magari a respirare fisicamente, ma si diventa sempre più fragili davanti alle tentazioni, sempre meno capaci di pregare, di perdonare, di amare.Nella prima lettura Mosè ricorda al popolo d'Israele il lungo cammino nel deserto e la manna che Dio fece scendere dal cielo. Quella manna era un segno che preparava un dono infinitamente più grande. La manna sosteneva la vita del corpo per qualche giorno, mentre l'Eucaristia sostiene la vita soprannaturale e prepara alla vita eterna. Per questo Gesù dice: «Chi mangia questo pane vivrà in eterno» (Gv 6,58).Pensiamo adesso a quanto sia sorprendente il modo scelto da Dio per restare con noi. Avrebbe potuto scrivere un libro come hanno fatto i grandi filosofi del passato, ma non lo ha fatto: ha scelto invece di farsi cibo. L'amore tende sempre all'unione: una madre desidera stare vicino al figlio piccolo, due sposi desiderano vivere insieme nell'intimità. Gesù ha trovato nell'Eucaristia il modo più intimo possibile per unirsi a noi.Proprio perché crediamo che nell'Ostia consacrata sia realmente presente il Signore dell'universo, dobbiamo interrogarci anche sul modo in cui ci accostiamo alla Santa Comunione. La Chiesa oggi permette di ricevere l'Eucaristia anche sulla mano nonostante questo rimanga un abuso liturgico. Infatti per molti secoli i cristiani hanno ricevuto il Signore esclusivamente sulla lingua, proprio per evidenziare che l'Eucaristia non è un pane qualsiasi. Ricevere la Comunione sulla lingua manifesta nel modo più eloquente possibile che non siamo noi a prendere Cristo, ma è Cristo che si dona a noi. E come una mamma imbocca il suo piccolo, così fa con noi la Chiesa, nostra madre. Inoltre ogni Ostia consacrata può lasciare piccoli frammenti che, per quanto minuscoli, contengono realmente Gesù Cristo. Quando si riceve la Comunione sulla lingua si riduce al minimo il rischio che questi frammenti rimangano sulle mani o cadano a terra. Se crediamo veramente alla Presenza Reale, anche il più piccolo frammento merita il massimo rispetto e la massima attenzione. Proprio per questo la Chiesa, per ridurre a zero il rischio della perdita di frammenti, ha reso obbligatorio l'uso del piattino tutt'ora in vigore.Anche la postura del corpo ha la sua importanza. Il corpo educa l'anima e manifesta ciò che crediamo. Per questo la tradizione della Chiesa ha sempre considerato particolarmente significativa la Comunione ricevuta in ginocchio. Non perché Dio voglia umiliarci, ma perché siamo noi ad avere bisogno di esprimere umiltà e adorazione. Quando un uomo si inginocchia riconosce che davanti a lui c'è qualcuno più grande.Pensiamo ai giapponesi che si inginocchiano davanti al loro imperatore come segno di rispetto. Se gli uomini mostrano tanta riverenza davanti a un'autorità terrena, quanto più dovremmo mostrarla davanti a Gesù Cristo, Re dei re e Signore dei signori, realmente presente nell'Ostia consacrata. In ginocchio davanti all'Eucaristia non perdiamo la nostra dignità, ma semplicemente riconosciamo la verità: Dio è Dio e noi siamo sue creature amate. È diritto del fedele ricevere la Comunione sulla lingua e in ginocchio, mentre il sacerdote potrebbe rifiutarsi di darla in mano se pensasse che c'è il rischio di profanazione. In questo la Chiesa dimostra la sua preferenza per la comunione ricevuta sulla lingua e in ginocchio.Inoltre se crediamo davvero che Gesù è presente nel tabernacolo, allora non possiamo considerare la chiesa come un luogo qualsiasi. All'ingresso e quando si passa davanti al tabernacolo occorre fare la genuflessione che, tra l'altro, è obbligatoria. Il ginocchio destro a terra dimostra di aver capito che «nel nome di Gesù ogni ginocchio si pieghi nei cieli, sulla terra e sotto terra» (Fil 2,10).Detto tutto questo non bisogna però dimenticare che l'Eucaristia produce i suoi frutti soltanto se viene accolta con fede e con umiltà. Non basta fare la Comunione materialmente e con rispetto esteriore. Ricevere correttamente il corpo di Cristo non autorizza a ritenersi superiori agli altri o a criticare il sacerdote, a rischio di scadere nella superbia.Per ricevere il Corpo di Cristo occorre non solo un corretto comportamento esteriore, ma soprattutto avere un'anima preparata. Per questo la Chiesa ci insegna la necessità della Confessione quando siamo consapevoli di aver commesso un peccato mortale. Nessuno si presenterebbe a un ricevimento importante con vestiti sporchi e trasandati. Quanto più dobbiamo presentarci con il cuore purificato quando andiamo incontro al Re dell'universo.L'Eucaristia poi non termina quando finisce la Messa. Gesù che riceviamo sull'altare deve trasformare la nostra vita quotidiana. Se ci nutriamo di Cristo, dobbiamo imparare a ragionare, parlare ed amare come Lui. Una persona che riceve la Comunione e poi conserva rancori per anni, sparla continuamente degli altri o vive nell'egoismo assomiglia a un malato che prende la medicina, ma rifiuta di seguire le altre prescrizioni del medico.Il Signore vuole trasformarci dall'interno per sostenerci nel cammino della vita. Pensiamo a una madre stanca che continua a servire la propria famiglia con amore o un marito che sopporta con pazienza un momento difficile nel matrimonio. Oppure a un giovane che rinuncia a un peccato per restare fedele al Vangelo o un anziano che offre le proprie sofferenze senza lamentarsi continuamente. In tutte queste situazioni l'Eucaristia diventa forza concreta per vivere cristianamente.La festa di oggi ci invita anche a riscoprire l'adorazione eucaristica. Molti cristiani hanno trovato davanti al Santissimo la luce per le decisioni difficili, la forza nelle prove e la pace nelle sofferenze. San Giovanni Maria Vianney raccontava che un contadino passava ore davanti al tabernacolo. Quando gli chiese cosa facesse tutto quel tempo, rispose semplicemente: "Io guardo Lui e Lui guarda me".Questa è la fede che la Chiesa ci invita a rinnovare oggi: davanti all'Eucaristia non vediamo una cosa, un ricordo o un simbolo, ma adoriamo una Persona viva che è Dio stesso.Chiediamo allora al Signore la grazia di partecipare alla Messa con più fede e attenzione, di accostarci al Corpo di Cristo con tutta la riverenza possibile e di sostare più spesso in adorazione davanti al tabernacolo. Quanto più ci avvicineremo all'Eucaristia, tanto più Cristo vivrà in noi. E quando Cristo abita in noi la nostra vita cambia davvero ed è allora che possiamo dire con San Paolo: «Non sono più io che vivo, ma Cristo vive in me» (Gal 2,20).

No matter how much you underwrite, budget, plan, and strategize, nothing ever goes exactly to plan. On our biggest mobile home park investment yet (700+ lots), we thought we had accounted for every obstacle that could have been thrown our way—boy, were we wrong. But with the right team, tactics, and pivots, we turned what many would have given up on into a property with close to $3M in annual NOI—and even more room to grow. Welcome back to another case study episode, where I'm sharing real deals we've taken down at Sunrise Capital Investors, giving you an under-the-hood look at what went wrong, what went right, the real returns, and the money we spent.  This time, we're in Fort Wayne, Indiana, taking a look at Ridgebrook Hills mobile home park, a community of over 700 lots, hundreds of residents, and huge infrastructure.

In this episode of Storage Wins, Alex Pardo welcomes back Dan Wentzel with a major announcement: after months of grinding through deals, cold calls, and follow-ups, Dan is officially under contract on a $2.625 million self-storage facility that has 234 units and 28,000 square feet in a growing market with strong demographics.   What makes this milestone so powerful isn't just the deal itself — it's the journey that led to it. Dan cold called this owner four years ago, followed up for over a year, sent somewhere between six and twelve offers, and refused to quit even when the seller went to a broker and the deal almost died twice. This is a masterclass in what persistence actually looks like in the real world of self-storage investing.   The conversation dives deep into how a single phone call to a local bank, uncovering better lending terms than anything previously available, completely changed what Dan could offer and finally got the deal done. It's a reminder that creative problem-solving and consistent action can unlock opportunities that feel out of reach.   Alex and Dan also work through the deal's financials in real time, breaking down back-of-napkin underwriting: starting with $275,000 in current revenue, applying a 35% expense ratio to arrive at a $178,750 NOI, and exploring what a conservative 20% rent increase could do (pushing projected NOI to over $217,000). With rates sitting 30–40% below market and only two competitors in the area (one of which appears to be at capacity), the upside is real. The episode closes with a cliffhanger. The numbers are promising, but the next episode will tackle how to structure the capital stack: debt vs. equity, investor returns, and whether this deal can fully support itself.   This is one of the most honest and instructive episodes in the series, proof that the deal of your life can be the one you almost walked away from. ⸻ You'll Learn How To: Push through analysis paralysis and doubt by staying in motion even when results aren't showing yet  Follow up with sellers over months and years without burning the relationship  Use simple back-of-napkin math to quickly evaluate any self-storage deal  Apply an expense ratio to calculate NOI and interpret cap rates in context • Identify value-add opportunities from below-market rents and unsophisticated operations  Use bank financing creatively to increase your offer and structure a better deal  Recognize what makes a market worth pursuing: population growth, median income, and limited competition  Build a simple, sustainable follow-up system that doesn't require an expensive CRM ⸻ What You'll Learn in This Episode: [0:00] Dan announces he's under contract on a $2.625 million storage facility [1:00] Alex reflects on Dan's journey — from stuck and overwhelmed to under contract [3:16] What the mindset shift actually looked like: keeping your head down and taking the next step [4:08] Was quitting ever a real thought? Dan's honest answer [5:38] Why Alex's mentor told him to "love the journey" — and what that actually means [6:35] The confidence that comes from persisting when others would have quit [7:40] Deal overview: how did Dan even find this opportunity? [8:43] Cold called the owner four years ago — couldn't get through [9:12] A VA finally made contact: seller wanted $3 million — the follow-up began [10:03] How finding better bank financing changed everything and unlocked the deal [10:41] The numbers: 28,000 sq ft, 234 units, plus 24 containers with upside potential [11:32] How many offers did Dan send this seller? "Somewhere between six and twelve" [12:07] Why seller financing was difficult: the seller wanted 40% down [13:03] What made this deal worth the persistence: unsophisticated owner, strong market [13:28] No Google Maps presence, no online rentals, no rate management — maximum upside [14:22] Dan's follow-up system: a Google spreadsheet and phone reminders [15:14] Why the best CRM is the one you actually use [15:55] Market demographics: 3% annual population growth, $90K median household income [16:22] Seller's motivation: retirement [17:06] Purchase price per square foot: $94 — high, but not the full picture [17:31] Current annual revenue: $275,000 at 95% occupancy [18:01] Walking through back-of-napkin math with Dan live on the show [19:47] NOI calculation: $275K × 65% = $178,750 — what that means as a 7 cap [21:07] Why cap rates alone don't tell the full story [22:22] How much can revenue grow? Rates are 30–40% below market [23:48] Analyzing worst case, likely, and best case revenue scenarios [25:11] Only two competitors — one appears to be at full capacity [26:40] How to review the P&L month by month to project ramp-up revenue [27:17] Conservative scenario: 20% rate increase = $60K in additional top-line revenue [27:41] New projected NOI: $217,750 — now buying at an 8 cap [28:29] What comes next: layering debt and equity onto the deal [30:29] The cliffhanger: tune in to the next episode for full capital stack breakdown ⸻ Who This Episode Is For: Investors who have been grinding without results and are questioning whether to keep going  Anyone trying to source their first off-market self-storage deal through cold calling  Listeners who want to understand how to underwrite a deal from scratch  Entrepreneurs learning how to structure persistent, respectful follow-up with sellers  Investors exploring how bank financing can improve deal terms  Anyone building a value-add self-storage investment thesis  People who need a reminder that the breakthrough is usually just on the other side of the next rep ⸻ Why You Should Listen: Most people give up long before the deal gets done.   Dan Wentzel cold called this seller four years ago, got nowhere, followed up for over a year, sent over half a dozen offers, watched it almost go to other buyers twice — and then found one bank with better terms that changed everything.   This episode is a real-time case study in what persistence, creative financing, and consistent action actually look like in the self-storage business. If you've been putting in the work and not yet seeing the results, this conversation will remind you why you can't afford to stop now. ⸻ Follow Alex Pardo here: Website: https://alexpardo.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alexpardo15 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexpardo25 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AlexPardo Storage Wins Website: https://storagewins.com/ ⸻ Have conversations with at least three storage owners, brokers, private lenders, or equity partners inside the Storage Wins Facebook Group.

The predictions that looked a lot more like reality on the show floor.Everyone arrives at ICSC with predictions. The real question is which ones survive contact with 25,000 people on the show floor.Chris Ressa and CBRE's Karly Iacono weren't just attending ICSC Las Vegas. They were in the middle of it. Between meetings, deal discussions, and serving as panelists at the inaugural ICSC+PROPTech event, they had a front-row seat to the conversations shaping retail real estate in 2026.One of the biggest takeaways? The relationship between cap rates and interest rates is no longer as straightforward as many expected. Despite elevated borrowing costs, strong demand for retail assets continues to support pricing. With more capital chasing a limited supply of quality opportunities, retail fundamentals are increasingly driving investment decisions.That reality reinforces another trend both hosts have been watching closely: the rise of the operator. Rather than relying on financial engineering, investors are focused on creating value through leasing, rent growth, and hands-on asset management. In today's market, execution matters.The conversation also turns to AI, which surfaced in meeting after meeting throughout the week. Surprisingly, the most interesting discussions weren't about corporate technology initiatives. They were about how people are using AI in their daily lives to improve productivity, make better decisions, and create more balance between work and life.Karly also highlights the growing influence of healthcare tenants in retail real estate, comparing today's medical and wellness concepts to the rapid expansion of quick-service restaurants a decade ago. Above all, ICSC 2026 underscored the enduring value of being together in person. With more than 25,000 attendees, packed events, and nonstop networking, the energy was impossible to ignore. In an increasingly digital world, the appetite for real-world connection may be one of the strongest signals yet for the future of brick-and-mortar retail.What You'll HearWhy the mood at ICSC felt fundamentally different this yearWhat 25,000 people in Vegas signaled about retail real estateWhy retailers are doubling down on physical storesHow the return of the operator is reshaping the marketWhy AI moved from buzzword to business conversationWhat the demand for in-person experiences means for retail's futureChapters00:00 — The energy coming out of ICSC VegasWhy this year's conference felt bigger, busier, and more optimistic than expected.02:40 — Did we get our predictions right?Chris and Karly revisit their pre-ICSC outlook and compare it to what actually happened on the ground.03:50 — Retailers are spending againThe surprising scale of capital flowing back into physical stores and what it signals about retailer confidence.05:40 — Why store investment matters nowHow retailers are shifting resources away from infrastructure and back into the customer experience.06:45 — The net effective rent storyWhy tenant investment is becoming one of the biggest drivers of value creation for landlords.09:35 — A landlord and broker debate underwritingChris and Karly challenge each other's views on NOI, value creation, and long-term ownership economics.14:40 — The return of conviction in retailWhat retailer spending says about the future of physical stores and why confidence appears to be growing.15:25 — Cap rates, operators, and a changing investment landscapeWhy execution matters more than ever and how investors are evaluating retail assets differently.25:25 — AI enters the mainstream conversationHow artificial intelligence moved from buzzword to everyday discussion across the conference.28:40 — Healthcare's growing role in retail real estateWhy medical and wellness users are becoming increasingly important retail tenants.33:25 — What 25,000 people tell us about physical retailThe broader takeaway from ICSC and why in-person experiences remain a powerful force in the market.

fWotD Episode 3309: Nation of Islam Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Wednesday, 27 May 2026, is Nation of Islam.The Nation of Islam (NOI) is a religious organization founded in the United States by Wallace Fard Muhammad in 1930. A centralized and hierarchical group committed to black nationalism, it focuses attention on the black African diaspora, especially on African Americans. While describing itself as Islamic and using Islamic terminology, some argue its religious tenets differ substantially from orthodox Islamic traditions, in both Black America and the Old World. Scholars of religion characterize it as a new religious movement.The Nation teaches that there has been a succession of mortal gods, each a black man named Allah, of whom Fard Muhammad was the latest. It claims that the first Allah created the earliest humans, the dark-skinned Original Asiatic Race, whose members possessed inner divinity and from whom all people of color descend. It maintains that a scientist named Yakub then created the white race, a group that lacked inner divinity and whose intrinsic violence led them to overthrow the Original Asiatic Race and achieve global dominance. Setting itself against the white-dominated society of the United States, the NOI campaigns for the creation of an independent African American nation-state and calls for African Americans to be economically self-sufficient and separatist. A millenarian tradition, it maintains that Fard Muhammad will soon return aboard a spaceship to wipe out the white-dominated order and establish a utopia. Members worship in buildings, varyingly called temples or mosques. Practitioners are expected to live disciplined lives, adhering to strict dress codes, specific dietary requirements, and patriarchal gender roles.Wallace Fard Muhammad established the Nation of Islam in Detroit. He drew on various sources, especially Noble Drew Ali's Moorish Science Temple of America and black nationalist trends like Garveyism. After Fard Muhammad disappeared in 1934, the leadership of the NOI was assumed by Elijah Muhammad, who expanded the NOI's teachings, declared Fard Muhammad to have been the latest Allah, and built the group's business empire. Attracting growing attention in the late 1950s and 1960s, the NOI's influence expanded through high-profile members such as the black nationalist activist Malcolm X and the boxer Muhammad Ali. Deeming it a threat to domestic security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation worked to undermine the group. Following Elijah Muhammad's death in 1975, his son Wallace D. Muhammad took over the organization, moving it towards Sunni Islam and renaming it the World Community of Islam in the West. Members seeking to retain Elijah Muhammad's teachings re-established the Nation of Islam under Louis Farrakhan's leadership in 1977. Farrakhan expanded the NOI's economic and agricultural operations and continued to develop its beliefs, for instance by drawing connections with Dianetics.Based in the United States, the Nation of Islam has also established a presence abroad, with membership open only to people of color. In 2007 it was estimated to have 50,000 members. The Nation has also influenced the formation of other groups like the Five-Percent Nation, United Nation of Islam, and Nuwaubian Nation. Muslim critics accuse the NOI of promoting teachings that are not authentically Islamic. Other critics, like the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League, have characterized it as a hate group that promotes racism against white people, antisemitism, and anti-LGBT rhetoric.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:48 UTC on Wednesday, 27 May 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Nation of Islam on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Kendra.

This Episode Gary Lipsky joins the show for a real operator's view of what it's actually like to run B-class multifamily in Tucson right now; flat-to-negative rent growth, higher concessions, elevated delinquency, and the daily “whack-a-mole” of competing comps dropping rents to protect occupancy. Chris and Gary unpack how the Tucson market is absorbing new supply, what demand drivers still matter (job diversity, cost of living, defense/healthcare tailwinds), and where operational wins are being found when traditional rent growth isn't available, renewal strategy, new income lines, and keeping property teams motivated when KPIs are harder to hit. Gary also breaks down a recent 300-unit acquisition: why the basis made sense, how the business plan leans more “operational optimization” than heavy renovation, and how the capital stack was structured in today's rate environment (CMBS debt, paid-down rate, plus a pref layer). They close with a practical discussion on AI; where it's already improving leasing and collections workflows, what tenant application fraud looks like today, and why Gary sees tech as a tool to sharpen operations rather than an existential threat to housing demand. Key Takeaways What Tucson's multifamily “pain cycle” looks like on the ground: rent softness, concessions, delinquency, and occupancy pressure Why renewals matter more than ever and how operators are finding NOI growth through small, repeatable income levers Inside a recent 300-unit Tucson deal: location thesis, light value-add plan, and addressing aging systems (pipes/boilers) cost-effectively How rate volatility impacts execution: CMBS structure, buying down the rate, and layering pref to make the cash flow work How operators are using AI today (leasing, renewals, collections) and the emerging tenant fraud problem in applications Disclaimer The content of this podcast is for informational purposes only.

Landlord insurance has slowly become a major cost for many operators. After 2020, insurance prices began to rise rapidly, and making a claim became even harder when disaster struck. For many operators, it feels like throwing tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars, into the furnace every year, for a benefit you'll rarely use. And who stands to profit from it? Insurance companies. But an overlooked insurance structure is becoming increasingly common among operators, saving them 20% on their premium costs and sometimes even making them a profit on insuring their properties.  Nicolas Lares, CEO of Insur3Tech, worked as an insurance agent for years before ever hearing of "captive insurance” or “risk pooling.” When the small businesses he was tasked with insuring were being priced out so badly they could barely operate, he began building alternative structures, all federally backstopped, but without the middlemen.  Now, Nicolas's clients are profiting from their insurance investment, getting premiums on average 20% lower, and getting claims paid out in a matter of days, not weeks.  How would your NOI improve if one of your greatest costs became a profit driver? Insights from today's episode: The “risk pooling” insurance model that drops your insurance cost significantly  How to get paid to pay your premium (the insurance company actually pays Nicolas's clients) Who can (and should) opt for "captive insurance” instead of the traditional route   The real reason why your landlord insurance premium is so high (it's making insurance companies billions) How do these alternative providers make money without baking in a profit margin?  — Connect with Nicolas on LinkedIn Insur3Tech Recommended Resources: Accredited Investors, you're invited to Join the Cash Flow Investor Club to learn how you can partner with Kevin Bupp on current and upcoming opportunities to create passive cash flow and build wealth.

Core ConceptYou don't always need a new dealChris realized he could get ~80% of the cash-flow upside of a new acquisition by further improving an existing property, with less time, less capital, and less risk.Micro-suites = outsized value from small spacesConverting an old car wash/warehouse into 6 micro suites created strong demand (120+ inquiries) and stable, high NOI with no vacancies for ~2.5 years.Phase 2: More tenants, more stabilityReworking an extra 1,500 SF bay from 1 tenant into 4 micro units bumps NOI from ~$76k to ~$102–103k, while reducing lease-up risk via more, smaller tenants.Leverage LOIs + equity creativelyPlan: gather LOIs for new suites → use them to secure a line of credit → fund renovation → then use new equity to springboard into the next deal.Purpose-driven investing plays well with the marketFocus on “making space for small business” (micro spaces / small-bay flex) aligns with current demand and supports local operators squeezed by rising rents and costs.

May 20, 2026 In this episode of NARPM Radio, host Pete Neubig welcomes Patrick Osman, CEO and co-founder of Utility Valet, to discuss innovative ways property managers can drive NOI through ancillary services. Patrick shares insights on how services like bulk internet and automated utility verification not only streamline the move-in process but also create new revenue streams for property management firms. Beyond technical solutions, the conversation dives deep into the entrepreneurial mindset required to shift from a daily operator to a business owner, the critical importance of prioritizing sales over perfect operations, and how property managers must upskill to stay competitive in an increasingly AI-driven industry.

This Episode Chris sits down with Dwight Dunton, Founder of Bonaventure (launched in 1999), to talk market cycles, risk resilience, and the real-world tax playbook that helps active landlords transition into passive investing without writing a giant check to the IRS on the way out. Dwight shares the origin story: how a family “mailbox money” apartment investment turned into Bonaventure, and how a 25-year-old with no formal real estate background convinced Fannie Mae to finance a $16M buyout and kickstart a vertically integrated multifamily platform. Today, Bonaventure manages roughly $3B in assets, focused entirely on multifamily (with a meaningful senior housing sleeve). Dwight breaks down we he refuses to anchor to a single market forecast, how Bonaventure evaluates “lift-off” in overheated Sunbelt markets, and why B/C assets in strong submarkets can outperform when rent growth is muted because you can create NOI instead of waiting for the market to hand it to you. If you're sitting on a low-basis portfolio and want to go more passive without detonating your tax bill, this one is packed with frameworks and decision points.

Stop checkbook managing your real estate business. Fractional CFO Alex Lopez breaks down the KPIs, projections, and tax strategies that scale investors.In this episode of RealDealChat, Jack Hoss sits down with Alex Lopez, fractional CFO and tax strategist at alexlopescpa.com, to unpack the financial blind spots that hold real estate investors back from scaling past seven figures.Most investors nail the CEO role but completely ignore the CFO role. Alex explains why that gap is costing investors money, deals, and growth, and how to fix it without hiring a full-time finance team.Topics covered in this episode:What a fractional CFO actually does and why it's different from a bookkeeper or tax preparerThe "checkbook management" trap that kills businesses at the $800K to $1M revenue markHow to set up KPIs that actually define success or failure in your investing businessWhy projecting at least one quarter ahead is the single habit that separates scaling businesses from stagnant onesA real example of an investor who built a multi-million dollar portfolio in his 20s by architecting the finances firstHow to use NOI, cap rates, and LTV to back into your portfolio target before you buyWhy conversion rate is one of the most overlooked KPIs and what doubled Alex's own conversionThe ROI on fractional CFO services and why it typically pays for itself several times overHow AI fits into financial operations today (and where it still falls short)Why building SOPs before you need them saves years of stress down the roadThis episode is for real estate investors approaching or past the million-dollar mark who are still managing finances reactively rather than strategically.

The biggest risk in your deal isn't the market—it's the person you trust.Most investors spend their time underwriting deals… but overlook the one variable that can wipe everything out.In this conversation, we unpack what happens when experience isn't enough—and how one bad operator can undo years of disciplined investing.If you're serious about avoiding costly mistakes and accelerating your path in multifamily, this is exactly the kind of conversation we continue inside the Tribe of Titans—where investors break down real deals, pressure-test decisions, and learn directly from operators in the field.

Owen Barrett is the founder of a solar company that has generated over $50 million in revenue in just three years. Before building his solar empire, Owen spent a decade in the energy efficiency space, eventually discovering a massive gap in the multifamily real estate market: operators were ignoring solar as a value-add strategy. After trying and failing to convince syndicators to adopt solar, Owen bought his own apartment buildings, proved the model worked, built proprietary software to eliminate complexity, and then sold the solution back to the industry. On this episode we talk about: Owen's journey from failed businesses (recycling, nonprofit soccer equipment) to building a multi-million dollar lighting company How he identified a major blind spot in multifamily real estate investing: solar as an untapped value-add strategy Why decreasing operating expenses by $100K can increase property value by $2 million in multifamily The technical challenge of installing and monitoring 300 individual solar systems on a single apartment building Building proprietary software to automate billing, monitoring, and maintenance for tenant-meter solar installations Top 3 Takeaways Find problems you've experienced firsthand and solve them. Owen's most successful businesses came from identifying inefficiencies he encountered personally—whether it was wasted soccer equipment in college, unused grant money in California schools, or ignored energy costs in multifamily real estate. For every dollar you increase net operating income (NOI) in multifamily, you increase property value by roughly $20. Solar installations can slash operating expenses by $100K+, creating $2M+ in instant equity without the headache of traditional unit renovations. If you can't convince people, prove it yourself first. When multifamily operators wouldn't listen to Owen's solar pitch, he partnered with a real estate company, bought 650 units worth $75M, installed solar himself, and showed the industry it worked—then built software to scale the solution. Notable Quotes "I noticed nobody was going after the smaller school districts or charter schools where they still had like $500K, a million dollars, $2 million... so we just set out on this campaign to get in touch with as many small school districts and charter schools as humanly possible." "If you're in that 1% where you feel like you're a change agent and you can get shit done, it's kind of selfish to not do anything." "You guys are pulling out your hair renovating units, dealing with subcontractors, like all this stuff that just annoys everyone. And meanwhile, you're leaving probably the easiest value-add strategy on the table."

Most multifamily operators treat internet as a tenant problem or a cost line they grumble about. Adam Bell, Founder and CEO of Internet Subway, says they're leaving real money on the table.Adam runs a modern ISP focused exclusively on apartment communities. His company delivers fiber-to-the-unit (FTTU) in bulk to property owners, who pass it to residents as an included utility and capture the rent spread. Industry data shows 5 to 15% NOI uplift on well-executed bulk deployments. The math alone is worth the conversation.But the bigger reframe is the one Ed pulls out of him halfway through: the fiber itself is an asset. Billions are flowing into fiber networks nationally. Property owners are in a rare position to own a portion of that infrastructure, a 30-year asset hiding in their own buildings.In this episode:The bulk internet math on a value-add multifamily deal, and how an owner should actually underwrite itWhy "managed WiFi" gets oversold and what to insist on insteadBulk internet versus experience, and why the difference matters more than the priceFiber as a 30-year asset class that scales in capacity, not maintenanceThe contrarian take from his industry piece "Managed Wi-Fi isn't all it's cracked up to be"If you're an operator, syndicator, or value-add multifamily investor, this is the episode that turns a cost line into a revenue line and reframes the building itself as a fiber asset.This week's recommended book: The Confident Mind by Nate ZinzerGuest: Adam Bell, Founder and CEO, Internet SubwayWebsite: internetsubway.comLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/adamlloydbElevista - Speed as a Service™Elevista Connect is the first AI-powered lead conversion system built for real estate investors.

In this episode of Real Estate Investing Rocks Podcast, Angel sits down with real estate investor and tech creator Prolet Miteva to discuss the realities of passive investing, the danger of misleading projections, and why accountability matters more than ever in today's market. They dive into how investors can better track performance, evaluate sponsors, and make smarter decisions using data instead of hype. The conversation also explores the creation of Syndication Tracker, a platform designed to help passive investors organize, monitor, and understand their investments more effectively.Topics Covered• Why aggressive projections no longer work in today's real estate market• How small changes in NOI and cap rates can dramatically affect deal performance• The importance of tracking sponsor performance against projections• Understanding acquisition fees and “skin in the game”• How passive investors can hold sponsors accountable• The role of transparency and communication during market downturns• Why portfolio organization matters for long term investing success• Using Syndication Tracker to monitor distributions, K1s, and investment performance• How historical data can improve future investment decisions• The benefits of creating tools specifically for passive investorsQuotes“NOI and cap rate rule everything in commercial real estate. Small adjustments can make any deal look amazing.”“You should make investment decisions in an educated manner, not just because a sponsor told you to do it.”

Mentre l’Inter, fresca Campione d’Italia, strapazza la Lazio e si prepara alla finale di Coppa Italia, la Serie A ha ancora dei verdetti da emettere. La situazione più interessante è sicuramente quella relativa al piazzamento Champions, con Juventus, Milan, Roma e Como ancora pienamente in corsa. Noi ne parliamo con mister Stefano Colantuono.Più nel dettaglio, Guido Vaciago ci porta in casa Juve: gli uomini di Spalletti ieri hanno centrato una vittoria chiave in casa del Lecce che li proietta al momento al terzo posto.E se i Bianconeri si godono un rientrante Vlahovic, mentre il Como è trascinato da Douvikas, Roma e Milan possono avere le stesse certezze nella fase offensiva? Lo chiediamo a Gianluca Savoldi.A seguire andiamo da Carlo Pernat, con cui analizziamo la vittoria di Martin nella gara di MotoGp corsa in Francia nel primo pomeriggio. Bezzecchi solo secondo e superato nel finale.Apriamo la seconda ora di trasmissione insieme a Carlo Pellegatti e a Xavier Jacobelli per analizzare il big match di giornata. Stasera a San Siro si gioca infatti un Milan-Atalanta che diventa forse decisivo per la rincorsa Champions dei Rossoneri. A Bergamo invece, mentre si addensano le nubi sul futuro di Palladino, l’obiettivo è difendere il settimo posto.Ci spostiamo poi in Bulgaria dove il nostro Pier Augusto Stagi ci aggiorna sulla terza tappa del giro d’Italia, terminata nel pomeriggio.In coda il tennis: facciamo il punto con Vincenzo Martucci su quello che è successo in questi giorni agli Internazionali d’Italia.

Whitney Elkins-Hutten of PassiveInvesting.com interviews multifamily syndication expert Caleb Webster about his recent acquisition: The Ranch, a 46-unit apartment complex in Gresham, OR. While Portland, OR is currently ranked 81st out of 82 markets for investor attractiveness, Webster reveals how he successfully closed a pocket listing by identifying a unique "financial value-add" opportunity. He dives into acquiring a well-maintained, 1976-vintage property where the seller's expense ratio was over 60%, detailing how cutting costs—such as reducing trash pick-up and self-managing the property—added a significant day-one NOI bump. Learn how his team secured incredibly competitive 5-year fixed interest-only debt from Chase and navigated the long closing period to make this deal pencil in a challenging environment.

Iniziamo il pomeriggio insieme a Franco Ordine per commentare la brutta sconfitta del Milan in casa del Sassuolo, in una gara terminata da pochi minuti con il punteggio di 2-0 per i Neroverdi.A seguire mister Gianni De Biasi ci aiuta a fare il punto sul campionato, partendo da un’Inter ormai vicinissima al titolo, passando per la corsa Champions e arrivando alla lotta salvezza.Poi ci spostiamo a Torino dove Max Nerozzi ci racconta gli ultimi minuti che ci separano dal fischio d’inizio di Juventus-Verona.Claudio Arrigoni ci aiuta invece a ricordare la straordinaria vita, non solo sportiva di Alex Zanardi.Iniziamo la seconda ora di trasmissione concentrandoci sulla sfida in programma alle 20:45 tra Inter e Parma: agli uomini di Chivu manca solamente un punto per poter festeggiare matematicamente lo Scudetto. Noi ne parliamo con Gianfelice Facchetti.Ci spostiamo negli USA dove Umberto Zapelloni analizza con noi il Gran Premio di Formula 1 di Miami: partenza anticipata alle 19,00 per maltempo, Antonelli di nuovo in pole position.In coda il tennis. Sinner spazza via Zverev in 57 minuti e si aggiudica il Master 1000 di Madrid (quinto master 1000 consecutivo per lui). Sentiamo cosa ne pensa Lorenzo Ercoli, giornalista de Il Corriere dello Sport e di Spazio Tennis.

Vacant buildings = more upsideYou avoid paying a premium for someone else's lease‑up work.You create value through rehab + leasing (forced appreciation), not just clip coupons.Stronger negotiating positionVacant = motivated seller; you have more leverage on price, terms, and concessions.Priced by $/sq ft, often at or below replacement cost.Cleaner from a legal/lease standpointNo legacy leases, estoppels, co‑tenancy clauses, or messy files to inherit.You set your own lease standards from day one.Market conditions favor existing vacant buildingsHigh rates + high construction costs = very little new supply.Low national vacancy (≈4–5%) = strong demand for quality space that already exists.Math can be dramatically better than stabilized dealsExample: All‑in at ~$928k vs. stabilized value at $1.85M → $900k forced appreciation.Vacant strategy can create multiples more equity than buying fully stabilized for cash flow.Vacancy risk must be planned forKeep 6–12 months of operating costs in reserve (or financed/raised).Underwrite 12–18 months to stabilize; don't assume instant tenants.Brokers and data are crucialGood brokers (commission‑only) protect their time—bring serious deals and a clear buy box.Use them for rent comps, TI norms, free rent, and realistic lease‑up timelines.Strategy is for growth‑focused investors, not retireesBest for those aiming to build wealth and scale a portfolio, not live off immediate cash flow.Holding 3–7+ years lets you maximize NOI growth, tax benefits, and 1031 options.

Most hotel technology investment is stuck in a waiting room called Hilton approval.   Jake Wurzak, founder of DoveHill Capital - 20 hotel properties, 11 managed directly - has spent the past year mapping exactly where AI can and cannot reach inside his own portfolio. Brand lock-in is the actual bottleneck. Hilton, Marriott, and Hyatt control the core technology stack at every affiliated hotel. Revenue management, check-in systems, guest data - all locked. Third-party AI platforms cannot be substituted without brand cooperation, which moves slowly. The workaround is agentic AI running on top of legacy systems. Rather than waiting for a brand-sanctioned AI product, DoveHill is testing AI agents that operate within existing platforms the same way a human employee does. No new integration. No vendor approval. The agent replaces the labor, not the system. The back-of-house opportunity is larger than most operators realize. Housekeeping scheduling, purchasing, and data-linking between accounting and BI platforms are all being done manually at most hotels today. One senior employee at DoveHill spent six hours linking data between two competing software systems. That task is automatable now. The sponsors who figure this out early are not the ones waiting for Marriott to ship an AI product. They are the ones putting agents on top of the systems they already have. The gap between what independent and boutique operators can deploy versus what a branded hotel can deploy is already widening. In three years, that gap will be visible in NOI.   Listen to the full conversation, including specific tool applications and how DoveHill is rolling out Claude across its investment team.   ***   At GowerCrowd, we are bringing the most advanced AI tools to our clients for capital formation - and across other operational verticals too (like acquisitions).

Most doctors, lawyers, and high-income professionals are taught to think about retirement through traditional accounts, market returns, and earned income. But serious investors often study another path: conservative multifamily investing and cash-flowing real estate. In this video, we break down why multifamily can be part of a long-term retirement strategy, what high-income professionals often miss, and why fundamentals like cash flow, NOI, cap rate, tenant demand, debt, and risk matter more than hype. What you'll learn: Why a high income does not automatically create financial freedom How multifamily investing can fit into retirement planning The risks investors must underwrite before buying or investing passively Why conservative multifamily investing is about due diligence, not promises Chapters: 00:00 Intro 00:06 5 Big things that high-income professionals are missing 00:20 Who are high-income professionals? 01:31 1: Tax savings 02:03 I know all about tax savings.

In this episode of Storage Wins, Alex Pardo and Dan Wentzel break down what happens when consistent action finally compounds. After months of hesitation, Dan hires a virtual assistant — and within two weeks, four legitimate storage opportunities land in his pipeline.   Alex and Dan unpack why hiring a VA took eight months, what mindset blocks were holding Dan back, and how leveraging the Storage Wins community made the transition easier. From there, they dive deep into one specific 36,000 square foot facility, walking through back-of-the-napkin underwriting, cap rate analysis, seller motivation, and how to think about value-add potential the right way.   This episode isn't just about hiring help. It's about understanding leverage — leverage of time, leverage of community, leverage of terms, and leverage of upside inside the deal itself.   You'll Learn How To: Use a virtual assistant to dramatically increase deal flow Overcome hesitation around hiring and delegation Underwrite a storage deal using simple back-of-the-napkin math Analyze revenue, expenses, and NOI quickly on a seller call Identify upside through rate gaps and unsophisticated operations Use seller financing terms to increase purchasing power Control deal structure by focusing on terms, not just price Incentivize your VA to create long-term leverage   ⸻   What You'll Learn in This Episode:   [0:00] Why cash flow in storage "depends" [1:08] The Season 2 mission: closing before Thanksgiving 2025 [3:02] Hiring a VA after eight months of hesitation [6:42] The fear of training and financial commitment [7:30] Why $70 per week created massive leverage [9:01] Leveraging community to solve hiring challenges [12:42] Four new facilities added to the pipeline in two weeks [13:40] Why mom-and-pop operators create opportunity [15:36] Reducing expenses vs. increasing revenue [18:40] Explaining debt service coverage ratio to sellers [21:38] Breaking down a 36,000 sq ft deal opportunity [34:58] Back-of-the-napkin NOI calculation using a 35% expense ratio [35:54] Applying an 8 cap to determine baseline valuation [36:48] Spotting 50% rate gaps vs. competitors [39:28] Matching a $2M offer with better positioning [41:52] "Your price, my terms" explained [45:08] Why incentivizing your VA accelerates growth   Who This Episode Is For:   Investors stuck trying to do everything themselves Listeners who want more deal flow but feel time-constrained Anyone unsure how to quickly analyze a storage opportunity Operators learning how to structure seller-financed deals Investors ready to move from slow progress to momentum   Why You Should Listen: Momentum changes everything. Dan didn't suddenly get lucky — he created leverage. By hiring a VA and leaning into community support, he multiplied his outreach and surfaced four serious opportunities in two weeks.   This episode shows you exactly how to think through a real deal: how to estimate NOI, apply cap rates, spot value-add potential, and structure terms that increase purchasing power. If you've ever wondered how experienced investors quickly evaluate deals while staying disciplined on risk, this is a real-time masterclass.   And perhaps most importantly — it proves that sometimes the biggest breakthrough isn't a signed contract. It's the decision to stop doing everything yourself.   Follow Alex Pardo here: Alex Pardo Website: https://alexpardo.com/ Alex Pardo Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alexpardo15 Alex Pardo Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexpardo25 Alex Pardo YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AlexPardo Storage Wins Website: https://storagewins.com/   Have conversations with at least three storage owners, brokers, private lenders, or equity partners inside the Storage Wins Facebook Group.

In this episode of Storage Wins, Alex Pardo and Dan Wentzel break down a live deal opportunity that checks many of the boxes investors are looking for: strong current revenue, below-market rents, and favorable seller financing terms. But as the numbers start to come together, the real conversation shifts from the deal itself to something deeper—confidence.   Dan walks through a 32,000 square foot facility in Washington state that's generating roughly $275,000 in annual revenue with clear upside potential. With seller financing on the table at just 5% interest and no money required out of pocket, the opportunity presents a realistic path to immediate cash flow and long-term growth.   As Alex breaks down the numbers in real time, the deal begins to take shape: from roughly $2,000 per month in current cash flow to a projected $4,500+ per month after implementing operational improvements and raising rents. But despite the strength of the deal, hesitation still shows up—highlighting a key truth for every investor: the biggest obstacle isn't always the deal, it's the belief that you're ready for it.   This episode is a powerful blend of tactical deal analysis and mindset coaching—showing you how to evaluate opportunities through worst-case, likely-case, and best-case scenarios, while also challenging the fear that can hold you back from moving forward.   You'll Learn How To: Evaluate deals using worst-case, likely-case, and best-case scenarios Break down cash flow, NOI, and debt service in simple terms Identify strong opportunities based on current performance—not just projections Leverage seller financing to acquire deals with little to no money down Decide when to bring in an equity partner versus taking down a deal yourself Move quickly on opportunities without overanalyzing   What You'll Learn in This Episode: [0:00] Recap of the journey and the importance of documenting the process [2:14] Celebrating wins and rebuilding momentum after a reset [5:15] The opportunity: 32,000 sq ft facility in Washington state [6:33] Why seller financing at 5% changes the entire deal [8:59] Understanding occupancy and what it reveals about pricing [11:03] Breaking down revenue and estimating NOI [14:07] How to calculate cash flow after debt service [17:09] Why this deal works with no money out of pocket [21:23] Projecting future upside through rent increases and tenant protection [23:59] Moving from $2K/month to $4.5K/month in cash flow [26:04] The real hesitation: confidence vs capability [30:14] Why fear shows up when the opportunity is real [33:40] Equity partner vs doing the deal yourself [36:10] Negotiating terms: price, duration, and flexibility [40:20] Due diligence, earnest money, and structuring offers [45:26] Why imperfect action beats waiting for certainty [48:00] The next step: take action and control the deal   Who This Episode Is For: Investors evaluating their first real deal opportunity Listeners who understand the numbers but hesitate to act Anyone unsure how to structure creative financing deals Entrepreneurs dealing with fear when the stakes get real People ready to move from learning into action   Why You Should Listen: The deal doesn't change—but your belief in yourself does. This episode shows how even a strong opportunity can feel uncertain when you're stepping into something new. By breaking down the numbers and the mindset side by side, you'll see exactly how to evaluate deals objectively—and how to push past the hesitation that comes with growth. If you've been waiting for the "right" deal or the "right" moment, this conversation will challenge you to trust your preparation, take action, and step into the opportunity in front of you.   Follow Alex Pardo here: Alex Pardo Website: https://alexpardo.com/ Alex Pardo Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alexpardo15 Alex Pardo Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexpardo25 Alex Pardo YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AlexPardo Storage Wins Website: https://storagewins.com/   Have conversations with at least three storage owners, brokers, private lenders, or equity partners inside the Storage Wins Facebook Group.
