Global Investors: Foreign Investing In US Real Estate with Charles Carillo

This is bhakti, how The Lord can become one's little child and drink breast milk from the mother. And our ācāryas say, "Yes, Nanda Mahārāja was very fortunate. He became the father of Kṛṣṇa, but Yaśodā is the most fortunate because Kṛṣṇa never left her. He was with her 24 hours a day as a child. No one was closer to Kṛṣṇa than Yaśodā." In the same section of the Bhāgavatam, we hear the admonition that was much repeated by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and His teachings. When He went to South India, He talked to Veṅkaṭa Bhaṭṭa. Veṅkaṭa Bhaṭṭa was in the Rāmānuja-sampradāya, the Śrī-Sampradāya, and they were having a discussion—Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Veṅkaṭa Bhaṭṭa, the great ācārya there. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu was telling him, "Actually, Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, you worship as Lord Nārāyaṇa." So Veṅkaṭa wanted to know, "Well, how can you say He's the Supreme Personality of Godhead?" And Caitanya Mahāprabhu asked him, "How is it that the consort of Lord Nārāyaṇa came to Vṛndāvana and performed severe austerities to enter into the rāsa dance?" And Veṅkaṭa Bhaṭṭa said, "You please tell me." It's because the quality of devotion in Vṛndāvana is topmost. There is no more intimate relationship between Kṛṣṇa and His devotees than in Śrī Vṛndāvana, and of all the devotees, Mother Yaśodā has the most intimate connection with Kṛṣṇa in His childhood. And therefore Śukadeva Gosvāmī says: "nāyaṁ sukhāpo bhagavān dehināṁ gopikā-sutaḥ jñānināṁ cātma-bhūtānāṁ yathā bhaktimatām iha (SB 10.9.21)." And this is the verse quoted by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu to Veṅkaṭa Bhaṭṭa from the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam. There are many approaches. One may try to cultivate knowledge to understand God; one may perform yoga, haṭha Yoga, aṣṭāṅga Yoga; one may be a karmī, trying to position oneself in the material world in such a way as to have the best of everything. And Śukadev says, "None of these ways will attract Kṛṣṇa. Only simple bhakti will. "Nāyaṁ sukhāpo bhagavān dehināṁ gopikā-sutaḥ jñānināṁ cātma-bhūtānāṁ yathā bhaktimatām iha." In this world, only by bhakti, following in the footsteps of the residents of Vṛndāvana,... This is later written by Rūpa Gosvāmī, the process of devotional service: "tan-nāma-rūpa-caritādi-sukīrtanānu- smṛtyoḥ krameṇa rasanā-manasī niyojya tiṣṭhan vraje tad-anurāgī-janānugāmī kālaṁ nayed akhilaṁ ity upadeśa-sāram (NOI 8)." He said, "This is the essence of all advice. One should take to the practice of hearing, chanting, and remembering, etc. Śravaṇam, kīrtanaṁ Viṣṇu, smaraṇaṁ, pāda-sevanaṁ, arcanaṁ, vandanaṁ, dāsyaṁ, sakhyaṁ, ātma-nivedanam —the nine processes of devotional service continuously. Then one will come to appreciate the devotional service of the residents of Vṛndāvana." And when one develops this appreciation for the devotion of the devotees in Vṛndāvana, one may become intrigued by that. This is the beginning of one's relationship with Kṛṣṇa in a particular mood. This cannot be artificially stimulated. It comes only by copious hearing over many lifetimes to come to this position of bhakti. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------

What if the housing crisis wasn't just about supply—but about outdated policies holding us back? In this episode, I unpack the latest OECD report on Canada and what it reveals about housing affordability. From skyrocketing rents and home prices to stagnant incomes, the report paints a sobering picture of why so many Canadians feel locked out of the market. But it also points to solutions we can act on right now. We dive into zoning barriers, labor shortages, and rising material costs that make development slower and more expensive. I break down why Canada's share of social housing has fallen so sharply, how tax incentives can fuel speculation, and why reforming permitting and supporting construction innovation could be game changers. We also look at lessons from other countries and what coordinated action across all levels of government might look like. Tune in to hear the real story behind Canada's housing affordability challenge—and what needs to change if we want to make homes accessible again. — Read the OECD report here: https://www.oecd.org/en/publications/2025/05/oecd-economic-surveys-canada-2025_ee18a269 — Tired of spreadsheets and admin headaches in your rental business?

Il verbo PIACERE è uno dei verbi più particolari e complessi della lingua italiana, spesso fonte di confusione per gli studenti stranieri. A differenza dei verbi tradizionali, PIACERE ha una struttura grammaticale invertita che richiede una comprensione speciale del suo funzionamento. Questa guida completa ti aiuterà a padroneggiare completamente questo verbo fondamentale e gli altri verbi che si comportano come lui. Il Verbo PIACERE e simili: Guida per Usarli Correttamente La Struttura Particolare del Verbo PIACERE Il verbo PIACERE funziona in modo completamente diverso rispetto ai verbi normali italiani. Mentre i verbi tradizionali seguono la struttura Soggetto + Verbo + Oggetto Diretto, il verbo PIACERE utilizza la struttura Soggetto + Verbo + Oggetto Indiretto. Confronto tra strutture: • Verbo normale: "Io (soggetto) mangio (verbo) la pizza (oggetto diretto)"• Verbo PIACERE: "La pizza (soggetto) piace (verbo) a me (oggetto indiretto)" Questa particolarità rende PIACERE un verbo di percezione e sensazione che descrive un'emozione che qualcosa o qualcuno provoca in una persona. La persona non compie un'azione diretta, ma è il destinatario di un sentimento di piacere provocato da qualcos'altro. I Pronomi di Oggetto Indiretto con PIACERE Il verbo PIACERE richiede sempre l'uso di pronomi di oggetto indiretto o della preposizione "A" per indicare chi "riceve" il piacere. I pronomi "mi, ti, gli..." sostituiscono le forme complete "a me, a te, a lui" e rendono la comunicazione più fluida e naturale. Tabella completa dei pronomi: • MI piace = piace A ME (prima persona singolare)• TI piace = piace A TE (seconda persona singolare)• GLI piace = piace A LUI (terza persona singolare maschile)• LE piace = piace A LEI (terza persona singolare femminile)• CI piace = piace A NOI (prima persona plurale)• VI piace = piace A VOI (seconda persona plurale)• GLI piace = piace A LORO (terza persona plurale) Esempi pratici: • "Mi piace il caffè" = "Il caffè piace a me" • "Ti piacciono i libri" = "I libri piacciono a te" • "Gli piace la musica" = "La musica piace a lui" L'Uso con Nomi Propri e la Preposizione A Quando il destinatario del piacere è espresso con un nome proprio o un sostantivo, è invece obbligatorio utilizzare la preposizione "A". Questa regola è fondamentale per la correttezza grammaticale. Esempi con nomi propri: • "La pizza piace a Maria" ✓ • "Maria piace la pizza" ✗ • "A Paolo piacciono i dolci" ✓ • "Paolo piacciono i dolci" ✗ Esempi con sostantivi: • "Il calcio piace ai ragazzi" • "La musica classica piace agli anziani" • "I videogiochi piacciono ai bambini" Esistono solo PIACE e PIACCIONO? Il verbo PIACERE si accorda sempre con il soggetto grammaticale (quello che provoca il piacere), non con la persona che riceve l'emozione (oggetto indiretto). Però attenzione: il verbo PIACERE può essere coniugato in tutte le persone! Dipende solo a chi (o cosa) causa il piacere. PIACE (terza persona singolare): • Si usa quando il soggetto è singolare • "Mi piace il gelato" (un gelato) • "Ti piace questa canzone" (una canzone) • "Gli piace cucinare" (un'attività - infinito) PIACCIONO (terza persona plurale): • Si usa quando il soggetto è plurale • "Mi piacciono i gelati" (più gelati) • "Ti piacciono queste canzoni" (più canzoni) • "Gli piacciono i film" (più film) Ma anche... Mi piaci tu. Davvero ti piaccio io? Voi, miei cari LearnAmici, mi piacete tantissimo. Il Verbo PIACERE nei Tempi Composti Nei tempi composti, il verbo PIACERE utilizza sempre l'ausiliare ESSERE e il participio passato si accorda con il soggetto grammaticale (quello che provoca il piacere). Questa regola è essenziale per formare correttamente passato prossimo, trapassato prossimo e altri tempi composti. Passato Prossimo: • "Mi è piaciuto il film" (un film - maschile singolare) • "Mi è piaciuta la pizza" (una pizza - femminile singolare)
Owning a stock and owning real estate both give you equity, but they do not mean the same thing. In this episode, Jeannette Friedrich explores the key terms that define each asset class and explains why thinking like an owner makes all the difference. Key Takeaways: - Asset vs. Security: Why real estate investors think like owners, while stock investors hold securities with little direct influence. - Cash Flow vs. Dividends: How real estate distributions provide more transparency and predictability compared to corporate dividend policies. - Equity Structures: The role of preferred equity and capital stack positioning in real estate versus standardised equity in stocks. - Appreciation Drivers: The difference between stock market volatility and real estate's ability to “force” appreciation through NOI growth. - Liquidity Trade-Offs: Stock investments offer quick exits, while real estate enforces discipline through long-term commitments. - Tax Advantages: Why real estate's depreciation strategies provide unique benefits that cannot be replicated in the stock market.

On this episode of Multifamily Mastery, John Casmon interviews Zach Winner, a former attorney turned full-time real estate investor who shares how he transitioned from single-family rentals to large-scale commercial real estate. Zach breaks down his "Value Add Plus" strategy, which focuses on buying newer properties from developers and increasing NOI through underutilized revenue streams and advantageous tax incentives, rather than heavy capex renovations. He emphasizes the importance of landlord-friendly markets and reveals some of the 25 metrics his team uses to vet markets—like the presence of STEM jobs and evolving tenant laws. The conversation also touches on 1031 exchanges, a little-known 1245 exchange tactic, and the steady returns found in Midwest markets.

What if the most expensive mistake in real estate wasn't the deal you lost—but the one you closed too quickly? In this episode, I dive into the due diligence process and why it's the single most important step before committing to any investment. We unpack the financial, legal, physical, and market checks that protect you from surprises, and how overlooking even one detail can turn a promising property into a liability. I break down the common mistakes investors make—like trusting listing rents, skipping environmental checks, or underestimating municipal requirements—and share how to approach due diligence as more than just paperwork. With the right team, the right questions, and a systematic approach, it becomes your best risk management tool. Tune in to learn how mastering due diligence can save you money, protect your deals, and give you the confidence to move forward with clarity. — Tired of spreadsheets and admin headaches in your rental business?

Things Discussed: What kind of offense should Michigan be? They're really built to be a 1990s team: strong TEs and FBs, run-blocking OL, big-armed quarterback who doesn't have to make super-hard reads. Chip Lindsey is a balance guy, not a screen guy. He comes in, looks at what you're doing, and builds a functional passing game around it. What does that look like this year? Their base two plays can be the stuff that worked for 1997 Michigan/Kirk Ferentz: Run off-tackle to one side and rollout flood passes with a side of Bryce running out the other way, and some screens and play-action deep shots to keep them honest. The Left Tackle conundrum. Seth says it's Evan Link until Andrew Babalola is ready, Sam says don't count on that, but it sounds like that would be a mistake—shades of the 2017 tackle problem when their best player at RT was Juwan Bushell-Beatty but he couldn't pass-protect, and instead of changing what they do around that they went with Nolan Ulizio to start the season. They don't look like a run-first team in practice, says Sam. Well, they're probably having to practice passing a lot. Remember you can have a 400% increase in passing from last year and still barely hit their 2021 level. Sometimes you gotta be you and let the cards fall where they may. News hits mid-show that Michigan will receive their NOI tomorrow. Expectations? Brian: removing wins etc. is off the table. There will be a show-cause for Harbaugh and Stalions because they refused to participate—Harbaugh probably has a lot of unread text messages. Guessing a two-game suspension (which games?) for Sherrone because all they really have on Michigan is the “deleted texts” that he apparently retrieved immediately from an image. The math here is Michigan didn't really do anything. They had a signs guy; everyone had signs guys. They scouted Georgia; Georgia wasn't on the schedule. The NCAA needs to make it look as big as possible but they really aren't working with much because Michigan didn't cheat, Michigan didn't harm anybody, and Michigan didn't cover it up. So the NCAA will absolutely maximize the infinitesimal infractions: completely ignore any time served from the Big Ten's overreaction in 2023, punish Harbaugh for not being present, yeet Stalions, fine Michigan because money isn't real, and penalize Sherrone for the appearance of hiding evidence. Ohio State will be mad because this was their show from the start and they didn't get the lynching they wanted, but even when the NCAA is doing their best to be as unjust towards Michigan as possible, but Michigan really didn't give them anything to work with.

Hey everyone, If you've been following me for any length of time, you already know that I believe real estate is the single greatest wealth-building tool available to everyday investors like you and me. (Although, I'll admit, Bitcoin is making a strong case to be in that conversation.) But every once in a while, it's worth stepping back and asking: Why has real estate created more millionaires than any other asset class—and why do the ultra-wealthy keep buying it, decade after decade? It comes down to a unique stack of advantages that you simply can't replicate anywhere else: Leverage: Real estate is one of the few investments where banks are eager to give you money to buy an appreciating asset. You put down a fraction of the purchase price and control 100% of the property—and 100% of the upside. Leverage can be a double-edged sword in down markets, but it remains the most powerful tool in the arsenal of the rich. Other People's Money: Every month, your tenants pay rent that covers your mortgage and builds your equity. Essentially, they're buying the property for you. Appreciation (Natural and Forced): Over time, rents and property values generally trend upward. But here's the thing—you can force appreciation by raising rents, cutting costs, and improving operations. On properties over four units, these improvements increase net operating income (NOI), which directly determines the property's market value. That's how sophisticated investors manufacture wealth on demand. Tax Advantages (The Secret Weapon): The IRS lets you deduct a portion of your property's value each year—depreciation—even while the property itself often climbs in value. Now, here's where things get truly magical: cost segregation combined with 100% bonus depreciation. These strategies let you front-load those tax deductions, often allowing you to write off a massive portion of your investment in the first year. For example, let's say you buy a property for $1 million and put down $300K. With a proper cost segregation study and bonus depreciation, you might receive a K-1 showing a $300K loss that same year. That's a paper loss offsetting your taxable income—meaning money that would've gone to the IRS is now working to build your wealth instead. And with Congress reinstating 100% bonus depreciation, this playbook for savvy investors is back at full strength. If you think about it, upfront tax savings alone can turbocharge your returns before you've even collected your first rent check. This week on Wealth Formula Podcast, I sit down with Gian Pazzia, chairman and chief strategy officer at KBKG, to pull back the curtain on cost segregation and bonus depreciation. We'll dig into: How cost segregation really works—and when to use it. How passive investors and short-term rental owners can take advantage of it. What to know about recapture taxes, 1031 exchanges, and long-term planning. If you've ever wondered how sophisticated investors legally shelter huge amounts of income while building massive wealth, this episode gives you the inside track. P.S.

What if scaling a real estate empire was less about taking big risks—and more about knowing when to adapt? In this episode, I take a closer look at Brasswater, the Montreal-based firm that has grown from a startup to managing over 12 million square feet of property in just 10 years. We explore their strategic shift from aggressive value-add acquisitions to a more cautious approach focused on stable, cash-flowing assets, and how they're diversifying beyond Quebec into key Canadian and U.S. markets. I break down their disciplined build-to-suit development strategy, the advantage of having long-term investor partners, and why they're targeting sectors like industrial and grocery-anchored retail. From geographic diversification to risk management, this is a deep dive into how one company is evolving to thrive in today's changing market. Tune in to learn how adaptability, strategic partnerships, and smart acquisitions can fuel long-term real estate success. — Tired of spreadsheets and admin headaches in your rental business?

USR își nuanțează poziția față de funeraliile lui Ion Iliescu. Purtătorul de cuvânt al formațiunii, Cristian Seidler, spune la RFI că partidul său a respectat legea. Decizia USR de a nu participa la funeraliile fostului președinte a deranjat Partidul Social Democrat, care a amenințat că nu participă la următoarea ședință a coaliției. Pe de altă parte, Cristian Seidler a vorbit în interviu despre Pilonul II de pensii și următorul pachet de reforme. Cristian Seidler, despre conflictul USR-PSD legat de funeraliile lui Ion Iliescu: ”Momentul încărcat emoțional pentru unii și înțelegem acest lucru, credem că astăzi trebuie să fi fost depășit (...). Noi nu am avut o lipsă de respect față de prevederile legale. Ieri, pentru că există această prevedere legală, e obligație legală, la sediul USR, steagul României a fost în bernă. Dincolo de asta, atunci când există o opțiune legală, să ai o opțiune sau alta, nu-i o chestiune de respect sau de lipsă de respect, din punctul nostru de vedere”. El precizează că ”nu a fost un calcul politic, a fost ceva ce a venit natural, pe baza a ceea ce noi credem, simțim, am trăit (...). Încerc să traduc acum rapid în română un dicton pe care-l citisem în engleză și care spune: stand up for something you believe in, even if you stand up alone, adică să rămâi în ceea ce crezi, chiar dacă ești singurul care crede în acel lucru”. Despre Pilonul II de pensii: ”Forma pe care Guvernul o trimite Parlamentului este una în concordanță cu practica din țările europene care au o tradiție mult mai lungă în Pilonul II de pensii”.

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 renovating a duplex required a political campaign? In this episode, I share the behind-the-scenes story of one of our current projects in Verdun, Montreal—a simple plan to convert a rundown duplex with commercial space into five residential units and office space. But what should have been a straightforward redevelopment turned into a complex process involving CCU approval, neighborhood outreach, and the looming threat of a referendum. I talk about the unexpected pushback from anti-gentrification groups, how city funding can unintentionally stall development, and why small infill projects often face the same red tape as high-rise towers. From door-to-door pamphlet campaigns to confusing city messaging, I break down the frustrating realities of trying to build something positive in a highly regulated environment. Tune in to hear why persistence, planning, and community understanding are essential for today's urban developers—and why we keep pushing forward despite the obstacles. — Tired of spreadsheets and admin headaches in your rental business?

"Fulminant, revenire supersonică" titrează "L'Equipe" după ce David Popovici a luat încă un titlu mondial, cel de la 100m liber, la Campionatele Mondialele de Natație. David este mândru de performanța obținută la Singapore și dezvăluie care a fost secretul pentru a deveni primul înotător din istorie care reușește „dubla" de aur la 100 și 200 de metri liber în doua ediții diferite ale Mondialelor. Nu s-au inventat cuvinte pentru aprecierea pe care o merită David. Două medalii de aur obținute la Singapore fac din campionul nostru primul înotător din istorie care reușește dubla de aur la 100 și 200 de metri liber, în două ediții diferite ale Mondialelor. David a înregistrat ieri cel mai bun timp al lui si al doilea cel mai mic din istoria probei regină a natației, cea de 100 de metri liber. El a oprit cronometrul la 46 51 secunde, un timp cu doar 11 sutimi de secundă mai lent decât cel reușit de Zhanle Pan la Paris, în 2024, la Jocurile Olimpice, un record mondial al probei. Acum, chinezul nici măcar nu s-a calificat în finală, iar principalii rivali, americanul Jack Alexy și australianul Kyle Chalmers, au fost depășiți lejer de român pe ultimii 50 de metri. Fulminant, au scris francezii de la L'Equipe, care l-au comparat pe Popovici cu un supersonic pentru a descrie revenirea fenomenală a românului pe a doua lungime, în timp ce, fascinați, americanii de la World Aquatic au exclamat Performanța monstruoasă a lui David, care și-a recuperat fiecare picătură din magia etalată la 17 ani. După cursă, românul a dezvăluit în engleză, la Flash interviu, care a fost rețeta câștigătoare. Și-a îmbunătățit substanțial înotul pe sub apă și a reușit să se detașeze față de ceilalți competitori în mintea sa și a construit ca un fel de ziduri pe culoarele sale de înot. Și-a imaginat că este singur și că face ceea ce a antrenat. După aceste mărturisiri, Super David a dat un interviu și în limba română, în care a reamintit că a fost la un pas să abandoneze cu trei zile înainte de începerea competiției din Singapore. Mă simt bine, sunt mândru de mine, Sunt mândru de faptul că am reușit să mă împing și să găsesc puterea să concurez la această competiție, chiar dacă înainte mi-a fost dificil și am vrut să mă retrag. Și uite că adică simt că a meritat, am câștigat câte două medalii, am reușit să mă autodepășesc, să fac și al doilea cel mai bun timp din istorie, să mă apropii și mai tare de recordul mondial. David a explicat și de ce începe cursa mai lent, după care intră în modul turbo. Nu am puterea și înălțimea neapărat și explozia celorlalți. Să înot atât de repede pe primul 50. Dar, ca în orice cursă, contează cine atinge peretele primul. Și așa că profit de anduranța și rezistența pe care o am și eficiența de pe al doilea 50. La Singapore, Popovici a stabilit recordul competiției la 100 de metri, l-a depășit și pe cel al Europei, având în posesie și cinci dintre cele mai bune 10 rezultate din toate timpurile, dar s-a arătat încântat că nu a trecut recordul mondial al chinezului Zhanle Pan. Asta înseamnă că în următorii ani are spațiu de progres, cel mai important obiectiv de la orizont fiind Jocurile Olimpice din 2028. Sincer, mă bucur că nu l-am bătut acum recordul mondial. Bineînțeles că vreau să-l bat la un moment dat, dar sunt bucuros că nu am făcut-o acum, pentru că în felul ăsta am în continuare un obiectiv către care să tind. David a fost extrem de bucuros că imnul României s-a auzit pentru a doua oară la Campionatele Mondiale de natație de la Singapore. El a dezvăluit că până și rivalul său, australianul Kyle Chalmers, astepta să asculte Deșteaptă-te, române! E întotdeauna foarte frumos să mă urc pe podium și să aud imnul României. Chiar Kyle Chalmers, australianul, îmi spunea înainte pe podium că e bucuros și el, că în sfârșit aude un imn diferit. Totdeauna Statele Unite, Marea Britanie. Nici nu știe cum e imnul României și de-abia așteaptă să-l audă. Așa că exact așa mă simt. David nu mai ia startul și în cursa de 50 de metri. După efortul depus la Singapore, campionul nostru a spus că așteaptă o vacanță binemeritată și le-a mulțumit tuturor românilor care l-au încurajat de la fața locului și din fața televizoarelor. O vacanță frumoasă și lungă și să-mi văd de viață, să trăiesc. Simt foarte bine. Sunt mândru de mine și încă o dată vă mulțumesc că m-ați urmărit, adică și tuturor celor din sală, dar și celor de acasă. Noi, David, ar trebui sa-ti multumim pentru că ne-ai facut din nou mândri că suntem români. Tu nu înoți, ci zbori spre aur. Continuă așa!
Guvernul Bolojan, a șasea încercare de reformare a pensiilor speciale. Cum au eșuat primele cinci (Libertatea) - Puteau fi prevenite inundațiile, cu decese, din Suceava și Neamț? Apele Române: Este nevoie de implicarea mai multor instituții (Europa Liberă) - Cazul Pieleanu – chiar dacă studenții i-au boicotat cursul tot semestrul, profesorul continuă să predea la SNSPA. Andreea, studentă, 19 ani: „A încuiat ușa cu cheia și mi-a zis «Stai jos»” (HotNews) Guvernul Bolojan, a șasea încercare de reformare a pensiilor speciale. Cum au eșuat primele cinci (Libertatea) Premierul Ilie Bolojan a ieșit, marți, 29 iulie, într-o conferință de presă, în care a anunțat că are loc o nouă încercare de reformare a pensiilor speciale, cu precădere cele ale magistraților, unde crește vârsta standard pensionare la 65 de ani, iar maximumul cuantumului pensiilor să fie de cel mult 70% din ultimul salariu net, nu 80% din brut, cum e în prezent. De asemenea, ar putea fi pensionări timpurii din sistem, dar în jur de 58 de ani, pentru cei care lucrează din timp în magistratură, însă ar pierde 2% din pensie pentru fiecare an înainte de 65 de ani. Guvernele și legislaturile din ultimii șase ani, fie într-un mod mai serios, fie doar prin mimare, au încercat să reformeze sistemul pensiilor speciale, prin eliminare, supraimpozitare sau alte prevederi, scrie Libertatea. Executivul Bolojan e ultimul care încearcă o asemenea reformă, singurul succes fiind însă pe vremea Cabientului Boc, care a reuşit să scape de pensiile speciale ale parlamentarilor. Iar acest lucru se întâmpla în iunie 2010. Pensiile speciale, greu de „ucis”. Un profesor constituțional explică de ce reforma justiției oscilează mereu între două extreme (Adevărul) Premierul Ilie Bolojan a anunțat, marți, o nouă încercare de reformă a pensiilor speciale, după ce în ultimii 15-20 de ani au existat mai multe tentative nereușite de a rezolva această problemă. Doctor în drept constituțional și conferențiar universitar la Facultatea de Științe Politice a Universității București, Bogdan Iancu explică, într-un interviu pentru „Adevărul”, care sunt marile piedici în calea acestei reforme și din ce cauză au eșuat toate încercările de până acum. „Nu trebuie demonizată o categorie socio-profesională atât de importantă. Trebuie corectate carențele structurale, dacă și cât se poate”, avertizează expertul. „CSM seamănă însă tot mai mult cu o organizație sindicală, tot mai puțin cu garantul independenței justiției”, adaugă Bogdan Iancu. În Germania, un judecător de Amtsgericht, judecătoria lor, are un venit salarial de încadrare de 4.472 până la 4.820 euro. Crește prin promovare până la final de carieră, dar nu peste 8.000 și ceva, treapta cea mai înaltă, creșterea cea mai mare. Salariul mediu net pe economie în Germania e circa 2.700 euro. Judecătorii germani ies la pensie la 67 de ani, cu pensii care nu pot depăși 71,75 % din salariu și sporuri. „Există un studiu interesant care ne arată că reformele „justiției” sunt ciclice, de la independență extremă la dependență extremă. Noi nu ne găsim niciodată echilibrul, nici nu prea tindem către el”. Integral în ziar. Puteau fi prevenite inundațiile, cu decese, din Suceava și Neamț? Apele Române: Este nevoie de implicarea mai multor instituții (Europa Liberă) Inundațiile masive din județele Suceava și Neamț, în urma cărora trei persoane au murit, au fost provocate în primul rând de ploile abundente, dublate însă de scurgerile foarte rapide de pe versanți, favorizate de lipsa unor măsuri care să le împiedice, potrivit specialiștilor de la Apele Române. Orașul Broșteni, din județul Suceava, cunoscut la nivel național drept cel mai mare oraș – ca întindere – din țară, de două ori mai mare ca a Bucureștiului, a ajuns în centrul atenției, în ultimele zile, în urma unor evenimente devastatoare pentru localitate. Debitul râului Bistrița a atins valori istorice și a crescut în doar 12 ore de peste 20 de ori, depășind cota de pericol în județul Neamț și cota de inundații în județul Suceava. „La Broșteni, peste 50% din oraș și localitățile aparținătoare sunt grave afectate”, spune pentru Europa Liberă președintele Consiliului Județean Suceava, Gheorghe Șoldan. Inundațiile puternice din Suceava și Neamț sunt rezultatul „unui efect cumulat, între cantitățile foarte mari de precipitații cu scurgerile de pe versanți, care practic au condus la o creștere foarte rapidă a debitului”, explică pentru Europa Liberă purtătoarea de cuvânt a Administrației Naționale Apele Române (ANAR), Anamaria Agiu. Instituția gestionează portalul inundații.ro, unde sunt prezentate hărți ale riscului la inundații, realizate în cadrul unui proiect cu finanțare europeană. Pe harta principală a portalului, orașul Broșteni nu apare ca fiind în zonă de risc. INVESTIGAȚIE. Cazul Pieleanu – chiar dacă studenții i-au boicotat cursul tot semestrul, profesorul continuă să predea la SNSPA. Andreea, studentă, 19 ani: „A încuiat ușa cu cheia și mi-a zis «Stai jos»” (HotNews) Premierul României a vorbit, ministrul Educației s-a pronunțat, iar partide din opoziție cer comisie parlamentară. Au fost multiple reacții după ce Snoop a prezentat mărturii ale femeilor care vorbesc despre abuzurile sexuale ale profesorului Marius Pieleanu, pe care acesta le neagă. Ce se întâmplă la SNSPA 32 de studenți SNSPA au cerut, în mai, într-o scrisoare „cǎtre instituția în care ar fi trebuit sǎ ne simțim în siguranțǎ”, un cadru normativ clar și transparent împotriva hărțuirii sexuale, cu mecanisme sigure de raportare. Nu au primit răspuns. După dezvăluirile din cazul profesorului Alfred Bulai, SNSPA a cercetat și plângerile la adresa lui Marius Pieleanu. Pe 10 februarie, cazul s-a clasat. Hotărârea nu e publică la 5 luni după ce a fost luată. Mai multe pe HotNews.ro.

Alberto ha dieci anni e vive con la sorella Rachele e la nonna in una strada protetta dal bosco e dal lago, senza i genitori. Nella stessa via abitano sei bambini: il gruppetto gioca sempre insieme. Le cose cambiano quando nel ‘loro' bosco sul lago vengono trovati i corpi di due giovani, e si inizia a parlare di sette, di diavoli e di strani rituali. Convinto di aver subìto una maledizione il gruppo, capeggiato da Luca, inizia a sottoporsi a una serie di prove di coraggio sempre più pericolose, fino a che tutto non sfugge loro, fatalmente, di mano. Sarà lo stesso Alberto, una volta cresciuto, a rompere il silenzio e tornare a raccontare di quell'estate maledetta.

Noi tutti agiamo nel mondo come se fossimo su un palco: basti pensare a quando siamo per strada, imbocchiamo la via sbagliata o ci dimentichiamo qualcosa a casa e ci diamo una piccola bottarella sulla fronte quasi che qualcuno fosse li, tra il pubblico, a vederci. Siamo immerso in uno spazio teatrale che sui social ha visto un'estensione infinita. Ma quando facciamo questi gesti e queste facce siamo sempre noi? Oppure siamo la nostra rappresentazione? Ne parliamo con Loris Fabiani, in arte Lunanzio, attore comico che con il suo corpo, il suo viso e le sue parole riporta in scena il teatro dell'assurdo.
What if the path to solving housing challenges wasn't just policy—but smarter development? In this episode, I sit down once again with urbanist and investor Jeffrey Kirton to break down the biggest projects reshaping Montreal's real estate landscape. We dive into MAC's $3.5 billion redevelopment at Jean-Talon, explore density-driven solutions like mixed-use buildings, and talk about how city planning, bylaws, and public opposition shape what actually gets built. Jeffrey unpacks how bylaw 20-20-20 reshaped development economics, what developers really face when navigating social and affordable housing mandates, and why large-scale projects are becoming the only viable option in high-regulation environments. We also discuss the unintended consequences of citizen referendums and the need for smaller lots, architectural guides, and housing diversity. Tune in to learn how policy, vision, and development pressures are colliding—and what it will take to create more inclusive, livable cities. — Tired of spreadsheets and admin headaches in your rental business?

What if rent growth wasn't guaranteed—and your assumptions were the real risk? In this episode, I sit down once again with urbanist and investor Jeffrey Kirton to unpack the latest national rental data and what it means for developers and investors. We dive into CMHC and StatsCan's updated rent reports, exposing the gap between advertised and actual rents, and the danger of relying on outdated metrics when planning a project. We explore trends across cities like Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver, compare market shifts in smaller towns like Sherbrooke and Drummondville, and discuss how public investment, remote work, and changing lifestyles are reshaping demand. Jeffrey also breaks down key investor metrics like yield on cost and why rent growth assumptions in your pro forma could make or break your next deal. Tune in to learn why staying informed, questioning your assumptions, and thinking a few steps ahead is more important than ever in today's rental landscape. — Tired of spreadsheets and admin headaches in your rental business?

Welcome to Raise the Bar with me, your host, Seth Bradley, where we have elevated conversations on raising capital, real estate, and entrepreneurship. Today, we have an incredible guest, Joe Fairless. If you've been living under a rock, then maybe you haven't heard of Joe, but everybody in my industry knows Joe as an industry leader, a thought leader. real estate entrepreneur, extraordinaire, marketer, master marketer, all of the above. So Joe, welcome to the show. Joe Fairless (03:10.36) Looking forward to our conversation, Seth. Seth Bradley, Esq. (03:12.884) for sure man. So, you know, I like this question because it's kind of unusual and I have a hard time answering it and you might too, but we'll see. you know, when a stranger asks you what you do and it just comes up to you maybe at a conference or on the streets, what do you say? Joe Fairless (03:28.398) I'd I buy apartment buildings. Seth Bradley, Esq. (03:30.546) I love it. Keeping it simple, man. I guess that was an easier answer than I anticipated. Joe Fairless (03:35.182) Well, yeah, I've been to in my early days I went to seminars and they have much longer more thought-provoking responses like, know, I help high income earners create passive income or something along those lines, but I keep it simple. I buy apartment buildings and then, you know, let the conversation go where it naturally would go. Seth Bradley, Esq. (04:06.366) I love that man. Yeah, and you know, to be honest, know, that response that you just mentioned is a little bit played out. Don't you think? I feel like if you're on LinkedIn or if you're on, you know, conferences, everybody's like, yeah, I raised capital from passive investors so I can help them do this and do that. Do you think that's a little bit played out? Do you think that people need to kind of change that marketing strategy at this point? Joe Fairless (04:25.697) Well... I think you should just be authentic. think just go with what feels right for you and what you'll enjoy talking about. Just go with what feels right for you. That's what I do. I am not a salesy person. I feel uncomfortable if I'm trying to sell someone something. I believe in what I do, but I feel uncomfortable if I'm trying to force it. And so if I'm like, I was just at a dad-daughter dance this past Sunday and we met up with some couples that I didn't know any of them. was just couples that, you know, my daughter... goes to their parents of the kids who go to school with my daughter. And so I was talking to one of the dads and he said, what do you do? I I buy apartment buildings. And he said, that's interesting. Then we started talking about what I do because he was naturally interested. And I enjoy that much more than trying to intentionally bait a hook. I'd just rather just have a conversation. Seth Bradley, Esq. (05:40.03) Yeah. Seth Bradley, Esq. (05:43.57) Yeah, yeah, I think that's the key, right? Especially in today's world where everything's online and you just get marketed to and advertised to all the time. You've got to be authentic and you need to have an elevator pitch, it's got to be authentic. It's got to be really who you are. And it can't be sales because people are so sensitive to that nowadays, whether you're raising capital or whether you're W2 doing your job. And we're all salespeople to a certain extent, whatever we do. But people are very sensitive to that. So you've got to really focus on being authentic and coming from a place of genuineness. Joe Fairless (06:20.91) Nobody in the world can do you like you do you. You've got a unique strand of DNA that no one else can be the Seth Bradley that you are, the Joe Farrells that I am, because it's impossible. It's impossible. There is no one like you. There is no one like me. And it's just the more magnetic, the more genuine and true to who I am, the more magnetic I feel like I become because people enjoy authenticity and it's just the right way to play it, right way to do it. Seth Bradley, Esq. (07:01.684) Totally, totally, totally. For our audience, just tell us what you're doing nowadays. mean, there's been kind of some changes in the market with the interest rates going up, those sorts of things, maybe starting towards the end of 2022. I know for myself, I was in the capital raising game for a number of years and then I kind of slowed down there towards the end of 2022, beginning of 2023, just to kind of see what the market was gonna do, just to see if we could still get some really good deals going, see if some of the other deals were going bad. you know, what, what are you up to nowadays? Like what's your focus? right now. Joe Fairless (07:36.77) The focus has been and always will be on our current portfolio and the deals that we have and operating those deals the best that we can and continuing to improve the NOI. So that is the focus. There we have some deals that have floating rates with rate caps and the focus is to figure out how not to have floating rate with rate caps that you have to continue to renew once they expire. So that comes with refinancing and in order to refinance and sometimes you have to do a capital call or if you don't do a capital call you gotta bring in equity in some form or fashion to refinance. some cases, it just depends on the deal. So the focus is on the portfolio and always will be. And then the secondary thing that we look at is acquisitions. How do we capitalize on the market that we're at right now? mean, the best way to describe it that I've read is it's stagnant. You know, it's just... Not sure. The water, there's stuff growing in the water, but not sure if you really want to be part of what's growing in the water right now. Like it's just, it's stagnant and what will, but we also know what is coming. Seth Bradley, Esq. (09:00.486) Yeah. Joe Fairless (09:12.264) and that is the supply demand shift in multifamilies favor depends on the sub market and the market obviously. But generally the Sun Belt is going to greatly benefit in the next year, year and a half, in some cases six months from now. with the supply-demand dynamic with new supply drying up and increasing the demand for the existing supply. Again, depends on the market, depends on the sub-market. So how do we capitalize on that? is there any way to be opportunistic with what's happening with some deals from other operators that didn't work out. know, there haven't been a lot of foreclosures, but there have been some. And we have relationships with our lenders that are pretty strong. And in fact, one, a large lender that we have a really good relationship with, that we have properties with, they foreclosed on someone else's deal. And I won't name names on who they foreclosed on, but they foreclosed on someone else's deal and they came to us Afterward and said hey here here. Here's a here's an opportunity. It's in a great area of Fort Worth and I'm from Fort Worth so I know we have a lot of property there too, but I know the market also I grew up there and We'll give you this special financing of around 3 % or so interest rate fixed interest rate for year one and then it's fixed through the whole period of the loan but then the interest rate steps up to around four, four and a half percent over the five years. So to get that type of essentially seller financing but it's lender financing direct from the lender lending institution that foreclosed on the deal in a very good area of Fort Worth. Joe Fairless (11:29.326) There are opportunities out there also. So it's how do we become opportunistic and find these deals. And so we're in the process of closing on that deal or doing due diligence on that deal. We're under contract and we're scheduled to close in about a month and a half from now. Seth Bradley, Esq. (11:49.316) Awesome, awesome. Have you found it difficult at any point in time, kind of over these last couple years where the market has slowed down? Joe Fairless (11:56.654) Whatever you're gonna say, yes. So finish your question, but the answer is yes. Yes, I found it difficult over the last couple years, but what exactly are you asking about that's difficult? Seth Bradley, Esq. (11:59.732) Yeah. Sure. Specifically, should say sticking with multifamily because you are a multifamily guy and you you've seen you've seen where everyone, you know, everybody wanted that on that multifamily train for, you know, a decade, if not longer. Joe Fairless (12:15.598) Mmm. Man. Seth Bradley, Esq. (12:23.696) And now you've seen a lot of these same people change their tune and say, okay, well, you know what? Let's pivot to something else. Let's pivot to car washes or private credit funds or all these other things. Joe Fairless (12:29.998) Man, I'm actually, I know you're an attorney, but can I strike my yes actually from that question? Cause no, actually the answer is no. I haven't found it difficult to stick with multifamily. Hell no. No. You know, you go to a restaurant at a diner and they offer lasagna, California roll and what else? Seth Bradley, Esq. (12:41.16) Hahaha Seth Bradley, Esq. (12:49.107) Ha ha. Seth Bradley, Esq. (13:01.204) Ha Joe Fairless (13:01.356) Pad Thai, you know, are they gonna have the best lasagna, California roll, and pad thai? No, no. They've got something for everyone, but they're not gonna be great at any of it. I'd rather go to an Italian restaurant that makes their own noodles, right? Makes their own pasta. And where they specialize in one thing. Not at all. No, we I believe in the fundamentals of multifamily. I believe in the supply demand that is here. I mean we had a record number of supply across the board and multifamily and the occupancy maintained 90-91 percent depending on the market but it maintained in the 90s in a record number of supply and by the way at the same time you got the capital markets raising interest rates the way they did. And a lot of people have been able to hold serve. And the fundamentals of the supply demand and how much... how many renters there are out there and how that will continue is there. That's cold hard facts. There is demand, a lot of demand, and there will continue to be even more demand because the supply is trailing off. We have never looked. outside of multifamily because it's so strong. I think that is a cultural thing actually because if you, anyone who's in the sports, college sports, they'll know about the NIL and Joe Fairless (14:54.784) how you can bounce from one team to another year after year. And so you'll find some people who aren't starting and if they put in the work then, and I'm for NIL, I think players should be paid, but I don't think that they, I don't think they should, I don't think it serves them as young men and young women. mostly young men in this case who are bouncing from place to place, to not compete and not work for a starting position and instead just go somewhere else the path of least resistance. That's not how you build character. There's a really good book, it's called The Road to Character. and they talk about in the book, they give different examples of people throughout history. And they're not exceptional, like saintly people. They're people who are normal people, but what they did that is atypical for what our culture does now is they stuck with things even when it was tough. Seth Bradley, Esq. (16:09.682) Mm-hmm. Joe Fairless (16:09.998) and instead of bouncing from thing to thing because what happens is when you bounce from thing to thing you don't get an expertise you don't get the the depth of knowledge the scars that that you need in order to be truly exceptional at that one thing and it's just surface level And it'd be like if you feed your kids candy for every meal. I mean, it's same thing. You can't live on mental candy, right? You gotta have some substance. You gotta go through things. Seth Bradley, Esq. (16:43.06) Yeah, I love that man. I love that metaphor. I love that. Like you've got to get reps, whether the times are great or an easy or whether they're hard. And those hard reps are the ones that are really going to set you up for success down the line. Like if you're able to execute in the hard times, then when times turn good again, you're going to be at the top, right? You're going to be cream of the crop. What do you, what do you think it is about you and maybe your company that's enabled you to do that, to stick? to multifamily and not say, ooh, you know what, I'm a really good marketer so I can raise capital for anything if I really want to, right? You're in that position and what is it about you and your company that's been able to allow you to stick to multifamily and just stick to it during these hard times? Joe Fairless (17:32.762) the fundamentals are there. I mean, you could make an argument that if we were office investors, and I have some friends who are really keen on investing in office now and in the future, but you could very easily make an argument that with the amount of office space that people have currently, you don't need as much of that space. It's not a five, you know, three to five to seven year play. Maybe it's a 20 to 50 year play. I don't know. Who the hell knows what's going to happen with office and working from home and AI and automation and all that. But with multifamily, the challenge is capital markets. Now there are some other aspects like the hyper supply, which has tapered off. because of the higher interest rates increase in you know insurance which has tapered off back to the single digits by and large but that that was a big thing property taxes depending on where you're at but the fundamentals are there people are renting and consumers for yeah unfortunately for generally you know for the general consumer their credit card debt is going up. They're still paying off their credit card debt from purchases almost 12 months ago. More than half of people are paying off purchases for more than 12 months ago. that's so right now they've been out earning their income because income has been increasing. But what happens if that income stops increasing the way it has been? the debt's not going anywhere, especially credit card debt, and that's certainly not going to make more first-time home buyers that dynamic. So the fundamentals are there, and not to mention we already have a housing shortage deficit, major deficit. Seth Bradley, Esq. (19:50.866) Yeah, so it's the belief and it's the knowledge like it's the education like you you know that the fundamentals are there you you're you're basing your resilience in the market to What you're seeing in the data like hey, it's you know We we believe in this asset type because of the data that i'm Well educated and well versed in Joe Fairless (20:09.752) Mm-hmm. Joe Fairless (20:14.346) Absolutely. Seth Bradley, Esq. (20:16.168) That's incredible. That's incredible. Has anything changed in the way that you potentially because you've got a deal that might be going through in the way that you either have raised capital recently or how you are going to raise capital for your next deal as compared to when it might have been a little bit easier, let's say five years ago from passive investors? Joe Fairless (20:38.612) Yes, we have implemented a system that I'm sure a lot of your listeners have heard of EOS, Entrepreneur Operating System, and that has been very helpful. We just did our focus day a month ago, but we've hit the ground running and we have our, I think, Vision Day part one later this month and Vision Day two. next month and that has allowed ownership among the team members to really thrive because team members are responsible for rocks or their goals but if you say goals instead of rock they'll the EOS person will slap your hand so I'll continue to say rock so they're responsible for rocks and it's just It takes more, the individuals on the team have more ownership. So that's not something sexy or flashy that I think your question was getting to. So I'll say something else that has been helpful would be doing Facebook ads for getting new accredited investor leads. at scale. That's the best way that we found to get credit investor leads at scale is through Facebook ads. And we have an agency that we work with. And I just hired a director of marketing who has some really good experience and he's overseeing them and the marketing team. And then Another thing that has been helpful that where I'd say just scratching the surface I'm a big proponent of AI and how I believe We are in the middle of a major change for our society with because of AI I think it is just as major of a change as it as it as when we all got internet in our homes Joe Fairless (22:51.602) on a personal computer. I think it's that big to have access to, just think about phone books to Googling something on your computer. So with AI we've incorporated it and are incorporating as much as possible in one aspect to address your question about how we're doing things differently. One aspect. is that on our investor calls, our prospective investor calls, we record them. They know it's being recorded and on a recorded line. We have an AI service that then takes the information from the call and grades the call. But then not only that is we look at, those investors, which ones of those investors invest? What did we say? What did they say on those calls? What are some common commonalities? Which ones didn't invest? What did they say? What did we say? And starting to identify trends and words and topics to talk about and to address on the calls to increase the conversion rate. Seth Bradley, Esq. (24:07.048) That's great, man. I love it. You kind of went full circle there. You've got EOS, which I'm a huge proponent of. We use that across the various companies that I have, some form or another. There's got to be a framework of organization and accountability and being able to look back and say, hey, we've had this problem before and here's how we solved it before. Or hey, this problem is still occurring from last week's L10 meeting. What do we need to do to improve it? How do we solve that issue? Joe Fairless (24:33.166) Mm-hmm. Seth Bradley, Esq. (24:36.712) How do we keep moving forward rather than, what did we talk about last week or what did we talk about last month? You've got to have a way to organize things and a way to solve issues organizationally, especially as you grow. So EOS, huge proponent of it, man. I mean, it's awesome. Like you have to have some form of it, even if it's not to a T with the book, Traction is where that comes from. You have to implement some form of organization and framework for your company. And then like you said, Joe Fairless (24:41.389) Yeah. Joe Fairless (24:56.575) Mm-hmm. Seth Bradley, Esq. (25:03.284) you know, with AI, everyone has to stay on the forefront of what's going on right now. I know I was even a little resistant myself. was like, chat GPT, is that? Eh, you know, and put it off for a little bit. And then once you start using that, along with all the other things as well, I'm just using that as kind of a baseline, but just learning how to use chat GPT in your everyday life, it's just a game changer. Because now your whole thought process changes. It's not like, Joe Fairless (25:08.547) Yep. Joe Fairless (25:20.14) Mm-hmm. Seth Bradley, Esq. (25:31.22) I need to put together this entire article or blog post. It's like, how do I prompt it correctly to to produce this blog post or this article in my voice and then edit it through that or, you know, all these different things you figure out, like how to prompt rather than how to actually take this solution all the way from start to finish. Let that technology tell you how to do it. So it's awesome. And then Facebook ads as well. Joe Fairless (25:45.206) Mm-hmm. Seth Bradley, Esq. (25:58.964) you've got to really dial those things in, right? It can be a money pit, but at the same time, if you can master that, and it sounds like you hired an agency that's very industry specific, which helps out a lot. And from what I've seen, we have gems, we have a capital raising business, we have all these different things, and finding somebody that's niche to that industry is super important. Joe Fairless (26:22.434) That's right. Seth Bradley, Esq. (26:25.756) I'd love to go back and stay on this capital raising subject, especially for people that just started out. So like now you're doing EOS, now you're using AI, now you're using Facebook ads, do you have some capital to be able to invest in those ads? What about for somebody that's just kind of starting out? they're, you know, maybe this is their first fund to fund or, you know, their first property that they're raising capital for. Like how do they effectively launch their first Capital Race. Joe Fairless (26:56.59) Well, I would read the book that I wrote on syndication because I walked through the whole process of that best ever syndication book. So, but for this this relatively short conversation, I'd say first, Seth Bradley, Esq. (27:04.404) Great book. Joe Fairless (27:19.606) People have to make sure you have to make sure that people perceive you and you are actually a real estate expert and That because you might have you might have been if this your first one first deal then I'm assuming you came from some other industry or If it was real estate, maybe you're a property manager, they don't know about all aspects of your expertise as it relates to real estate. you've got to, by having a thought leadership platform, you'll interview others who have that experience, you'll continue to learn, hone your skills, and then you'll also be associated with those who have those skill sets, and that will be helpful for you. Once you do that, assuming that you are the expert and you are also perceived as the expert, then what I would do, and what I did actually on my very first one is I created a spreadsheet. And the spreadsheet had the name of the person, how I knew them, and then, What I did is I wrote down all the different names and then how I knew them. So for example, I was on the alumni advisory board for Texas Tech. I was on a flag football team in New York. I wrote someone's name down there. On my flag football team, was working at different companies. I worked at different companies, so I wrote down different coworkers at different companies. the key here for doing it this way is identifying the person. So then you sort them by how you know them. all the people from the flag football team would be sorted together. All the people from XYZ company would be sorted together. And then you identify the most influential person within that group. And you talk to him or her. Joe Fairless (29:39.306) about your opportunity. And once you talk to him or her about the opportunity, and if they find it appealing or at least they want to learn more about it, then you can go to the next person in that group and you can name check. You can say, I was just talking to Seth about this and he's got some follow-up questions about it and I thought it also would make sense to talk to you about it too. So then you come in a little warm with the group dynamic versus if you come in cold on an individual level. Seth Bradley, Esq. (30:11.924) Mm-hmm. Seth Bradley, Esq. (30:18.822) I like that man. That's a very, very nuanced strategy tidbit there. What I really heard was, you know, authenticity and authority, authenticity in that. Yeah, you've got to educate yourself. You've got to be a real estate expert if that's what you're raising capital for and authority. And then you've got to show people, you know, why you're the expert, why you know all these things, why they should listen to you to invest in something like this and even leveraging the authority of others with that. that strategy where you go to this influential person and say, look, this person likes this deal too, and here's why. And then they can go to them and they kind of look to them as additional authority because they kind of look to them as that thought leader or that leader in general. So pretty great, man. Start wrapping this up, but this is kind of a nuanced question that I love to ask and ... Because once upon a time I went to I went to med school for a little while and then I dropped out and because I just I hated it knew it wasn't for me and I'm going to law school and then got into real estate. So you know in a parallel universe tell me about a different version of you a different but likely version of you if you didn't exist as you do today because right now you know you're you're an apartment buyer you're a great marketer you're an entrepreneur. Joe Fairless (31:38.164) I'd say I really enjoy coaching my daughter in soccer. I do not know soccer. I grew up in Texas. I played football. I played baseball. I ran track in that order. There wasn't a soccer option or maybe even a soccer ball in Texas when I was growing up. But I enjoy coaching and in an alternative universe, I would I would do more of that because time is, it flies whenever I'm doing that. Seth Bradley, Esq. (32:15.036) Awesome, awesome. All right, Joe, for our listeners out there, what can they find out more about you?

(33:13.808) Yeah, I know then you gotta follow up. Seth Bradley, Esq. (33:35.924) Let's roll right into these million dollar questions and then I'll let you go. Seth Bradley, Esq. (33:44.884) Alright Joe, let's jump into this. So, how did you make your first million dollars? Joe Fairless (33:52.185) Same way I made my last one so spoiler alert. It's it's selling when a deal exited so The is probably The seventh or eighth Deal I had one million dollars on one transaction, right? Like is that chunk about? Yeah, I Seth Bradley, Esq. (33:55.56) Hahaha Seth Bradley, Esq. (34:12.767) Really million dollars in your net worth Seth Bradley, Esq. (34:17.96) What puts you over the edge there? How did you grow that first million? Joe Fairless (34:21.626) I lost my first million before I ever came across it. That was on the very first deal. It would just be, it'd probably be through an exit of a deal. Seth Bradley, Esq. (34:26.056) Ha Seth Bradley, Esq. (34:35.614) Sure, yeah, and I'll bet it's probably similar. mean, how are you gonna, how are you planning on making your next million dollars? Same thing, the apartments, all about apartments, man. I love it, singular focus, that's where it's at. mean, riches are in the niches. Joe Fairless (34:41.144) Same thing. Yep. The apartments. All apartments. That's right. Yep. Seth Bradley, Esq. (34:52.564) All right, you're clearly in the top 1 % of what you do. What is it about you that separates you from the rest of the field? Joe Fairless (34:58.958) Mmm. I do what I say I'm gonna do. And sadly, that separates me from a lot of people, not all people. but that's a big focus of mine. And it's not about my, I recently read something that resonated and that was don't focus on your reputation, focus on your character. Reputation is such a vanity metric, but the character is who you are when no one's looking and being proud of who you are. And that's vital to me. Seth Bradley, Esq. (35:37.524) Yeah, and it's not just saying what you're going to do to other people, but also with yourself, right? To yourself. Joe Fairless (35:43.726) Mmm good point.

I'm glad you brought that up Seth Bradley, Esq. (36:10.644) Yeah, that's that's the key right? It's not just when somebody when it's dependent on somebody else or somebody else is watching It's you know, what do you do when nobody's watching and what do you do when it's just a promise to yourself? Do you follow through do you keep those promises things as easy as hey when you set your alarm in the morning and you wake up Do you do you get up or do you hit the snooze button? Like you made a promise to yourself the night before to wake up and get up when that alarm goes off Do you keep that promise? Joe Fairless (36:15.415) Mm-hmm. Joe Fairless (36:25.229) Yeah. Seth Bradley, Esq. (36:39.12) Awesome. All right, brother. I think that should do it. I will see you. I'll see you at BC, man. Joe Fairless (36:46.42) Awesome.

What if zoning rules weren't barriers—but puzzle pieces? In this episode, I sit down again with urbanist and investor Jeffrey Kirton to demystify the complex world of city planning, zoning, and permitting in Montreal. We break down acronyms like PPCMOI, PIIA, and CCU, and explain how developers can navigate these layers of approval to unlock real opportunities. From overlapping regulations to political bottlenecks, Jeffrey shares how to manage city processes with more confidence and less guesswork. We dive into how to plan for setbacks, height allowances, and parking requirements—and why understanding both the written code and the unspoken rules can make or break your project. Jeffrey also explains how site selection, due diligence, and community engagement shape what you can actually build, no matter what the zoning map says. Tune in to learn how real urban planning works behind the scenes—and how knowing the system can help you avoid costly delays and turn complex sites into real value. — Tired of spreadsheets and admin headaches in your rental business?

It's easy to oversimplify multifamily operations, and to make assumptions about how a property will perform. Countless nuances and details impact property performance, some are controllable, others aren't. Many operators get this wrong, and it costs them dearly. There are hundreds of details that impact how financially successful a property will be. Stacey Hampton, Founder of Asset NOI Consulting, helps multifamily owners achieve greater financial prosperity through evaluating acquisitions and consulting on operations. Stacey helps her clients enhance NOI through increased revenue, lower expenses, and overall optimization.
What happens to property value when cap rates and NOI start moving in opposite directions—and how should investors prepare for that? In this episode, Angel Williams speaks with Rich Neuharth and Moses Lucero about the realities of underwriting in multifamily investing. They break down cap rates, NOI (Net Operating Income), and the complex relationship between market forces and property performance. Rich walks through examples that clarify how small shifts in cap rates can drastically affect valuations and explains why mindset and transparency matter in underwriting. Angel challenges the assumptions with sharp questions, leading to a clear discussion of how to stress-test deals, factor in risk, and use underwriting tools responsibly. [00:01 - 04:30] Cap Rates in Action How a $1M NOI changes value depending on cap rate shifts Why cap rate compression inflates property value—and vice versa The importance of separating property-level performance from market dynamics [04:31 - 08:15] Mindset and Learning Through Repetition How mindset impacts willingness to ask questions and learn Why repeating and reframing concepts leads to deeper understanding The need for more open conversations about not understanding financial concepts [08:16 - 12:30] Market Cap vs. Purchase Cap What the significance of market cap rate is during appraisals How to handle disconnects between deal-level and market expectations Why accurate comps and broker input guide realistic underwriting assumptions [12:31 - 16:00] The Push-Pull of NOI and Cap Rate in Valuation How to analyze proportional changes in cap rate and NOI Why understanding opposing forces is key to modeling The importance of building performance scenarios and exit plans [16:01 - 19:48] Stress Testing and Long-Term Thinking How to structure deals to withstand market fluctuations Why historical cap rate trends matter when forecasting The need to balance investor expectations with conservative assumptions Connect with Rich: https://www.linkedin.com/in/realmindsetrich Connect with Moses: https://www.linkedin.com/in/moses-lucero-9026b220b/ Key Quotes: “The market cap only affects your sale or refinance. It doesn't affect how your property operates day to day.” - Rich NeuhartH “You're correcting for where you think cap rates are going.

Should you be posting rental rates on sites like Crexi or LoopNet? In this episode, I explain why I don't—and why you shouldn't either. A Facebook post from a frustrated agent sparked this conversation, but it revealed a much bigger issue: in retail real estate, rent is never one-size-fits-all.I walk through exactly how I price space in my shopping centers, from tenant type to visibility to square footage and even lease term. I also share a story about a client who was charging the same rate—$23 PSF—across every property, including a second-story office and a Publix-anchored outparcel. Spoiler: We fixed that, fast. If you're looking to maximize NOI and get strategic about rent setting, this episode breaks down how to think like a pro.Key Insights:✔️ Rent should vary by tenant use, size, visibility, and lease term✔️ One flat rate across all units can dramatically limit your upside✔️ You can and should charge more for endcaps and high-traffic locations✔️ Don't let online listings lock you into underpriced deals✔️ Educate your leasing agents on rent flexibility✔️ Strategic rent setting = long-term NOI growth
In this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan speaks with Owen Barrett, founder and CEO of Shine, a solar company built by apartment owners for apartment owners. With a background in finance and clean energy, Owen brings a pragmatic and results-driven mindset to a traditionally misunderstood corner of multifamily investing—onsite solar energy. Owen shares how his first exposure to real estate came after achieving financial independence through his solar ventures. Instead of starting small, he jumped into a 64-unit building, testing how large-scale solar could be layered into multifamily investment. That experience, although imperfect, helped shape Shine's business model: targeting properties with 100+ units where solar not only benefits the environment but also boosts returns. Jonathan and Owen examine the financial mechanics of solar energy in multifamily properties, from cost segregation and tax credits to NOI increases and tenant retention. Owen explains how Shine's proprietary software allows solar installations to serve individually metered units, a longstanding challenge in the space. He also breaks down how syndicators and institutional investors approach solar differently, and why understanding your audience is key when pitching value-add improvements. Owen emphasizes that solar is not about selling environmental benefits. It's about improving the bottom line. But the secondary benefits, such as tenant retention, lower utility inflation, and greater resilience during energy volatility, add long-term value. For syndicators and operators seeking to future-proof their assets, this conversation is packed with strategic thinking, cost-saving tactics, and clear-eyed lessons from someone who installs what he owns. In this episode, you will hear: How Owen Barrett transitioned from solar to multifamily real estate Using solar to increase NOI and attract investors Cost segregation, tax credits, and depreciation benefits Why roof condition is a make-or-break factor for installations The difference in decision-making between syndicators and institutions Leveraging solar to reduce tenant utility costs and turnover The reason early due diligence makes or breaks solar ROI Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Target Market Insights: Multifamily Real Estate Marketing Tips
Omer Agiv is the co-founder and CEO of Faireez, an AI-powered housekeeping platform delivering hotel-style cleaning services to multifamily buildings. A serial entrepreneur with seven startups under his belt—including one acquired by Anheuser-Busch—Omer brings deep expertise in digitizing traditional industries. With Faireez, he's aiming to disrupt the outdated home cleaning model by providing on-demand, tech-enabled daily housekeeping that enhances resident lifestyle and property value. Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Faireez makes housekeeping a modern apartment community amenity, offering AI-powered daily cleaning services tailored to multifamily properties. The platform benefits three key groups: residents (who want convenience), property managers (seeking lifestyle-enhancing amenities), and cleaners (offered stable, respectful employment). Unlike gig economy models, Faireez partners with professional cleaning companies and assigns one “fairy” per building for consistent service. This model enables short, high-frequency cleaning sessions (15–20 minutes daily) and creates a trust-based relationship with residents. Faireez enhances NOI for property owners while offering residents a premium, lifestyle-driven amenity. Topics From Beer Analytics to Domestic Tech Omer previously built and sold a startup that provided real-time beer consumption analytics for breweries worldwide. He's passionate about applying tech to “low-tech” industries—first beer, now housekeeping. Faireez was born from his frustration of working long hours and still coming home to do dishes at midnight. Housekeeping for Apartments Residents dislike daily chores and only have access to bi-weekly deep cleaning services. Property managers lack truly useful, lifestyle-enhancing amenities to differentiate their buildings. Cleaners face unstable gig work—Faireez offers full-time partnerships, insurance, and steady assignments. Why Gig Economy Models Fail in Housekeeping Previous “Uber for cleaning” startups failed due to inconsistent quality and no recurring relationships. Faireez does the opposite: one assigned cleaner (“fairy”) per building, pricing per chore (not hour), and better-than-market pay. Building trust and consistency drives better service, community engagement, and resident satisfaction. AI and Tech Machine learning optimizes routing, scheduling, and dynamic pricing per city and chore type. Faireez is piloting video-based assessments where residents film their space and get an instant plan, quote, and cleanliness score. Their systems update pricing frequently to keep it affordable while maintaining operational efficiency. Best Properties for Hotel-Style Housekeeping Class A properties with 100+ units and a family-oriented resident base. Ideal for buildings seeking to add non-rent revenue and attract renters looking for lifestyle upgrades. Especially popular with families, busy professionals, and tech-savvy urban renters.
