In this episode, Nico takes you inside the ugliest closing he's faced yet — a 13-unit deal in Lakeland, Florida that nearly fell apart multiple times.

You'll hear the unfiltered truth about raising $220K that felt like pulling teeth, what it's like when your team can't deliver, and how even experienced operators get blindsided. This isn't the glossy “We Closed!” story you see on Instagram — this is the grind of real multifamily investing.

While convenient, this concentration creates hidden risks. In the event of a major sell-off, the sheer weight of passive money could trigger violent market swings and magnify losses. True investing requires discipline, adjustment, and active decision-making—not blind faith in the herd. Ignoring this reality could turn passive investing into the market's next black swan.

On this week's episode of Ritter on Real Estate, Kent Ritter interviews Lon Welsh. They unpack Lon's “four pillars of diversification” framework—asset class, geography, strategy, and sponsor—digging into why he favors multifamily for stability, mid-size industrial for supply–demand gaps, and budget extended-stay hospitality for resilient demand. Lon explains blending value-add (for depreciation and cash flow) with ground-up development, and why property management selection is the single biggest driver of outcomes. The conversation also covers geographic risk (policy shifts, disasters) and why a Midwest/Sunbelt mix can smooth the ride for passive investors. Where to find Lon:IrontonCapital.comIrontonCapital.com/linkedinIrontonCapital.com/facebookIrontonCapital.com/youtube Key TakeawaysThe four pillars of diversification: asset class, geography, strategy, and sponsor—diversify across all four to reduce correlation risk. Asset picks he likes now: multifamily for low volatility, mid-size multi-tenant industrial for scarcity, and budget extended-stay hotels for durable, non-discretionary demand. Geography matters twice: politics (landlord–tenant laws) and physical risk (storms, fires) argue for spreading exposure across markets. Strategy blend: prioritize value-add for immediate depreciation/pass-through tax benefits, pair with targeted development where shovel-ready and contingency-smart. Sponsor & PM are critical: assess track record by product type/market, insist on contingency by line item, and scrutinize the property manager's detection/solution chops. Books MentionedFree book on passive real estate investing (Ironton Capital): https://irontoncapital.com/ritterWall Street Journal: https://www.wsj.comCheck us out on socials: Instagram LinkedIn Youtube https://hudsoninvesting.com/ Production by Outlier Audio

The world doesn't move in straight lines. Headlines whiplash from inflation scares to rate cuts, tech booms to banking jitters, and back again before lunch. In that kind of turbulence, relying solely on the classic 60/40 mix can feel like sailing with a single sail in shifting winds. Alternative investing—owning assets beyond public stocks and bonds—adds more tools to the kit: private credit that pays you to wait, real assets that rise with the cost of living, uncorrelated strategies that don't flinch every time the S&P sneezes.Patrick Grimes, founder and CEO of Passive Investing Mastery, an internationally bestselling author, and a Forbes Council contributor, is a serial entrepreneur specializing in alternative investments. His portfolio is diversified across energy, litigation finance, commercial lending and acquisitions, including retail, industrial, and thousands of apartment units. Patrick has developed a range of diversified passive investments focused on growth and cash flow, including the Diversified Litigation Portfolio, Acquisitions Fund, and Income Fund, all designed to thrive during economic downturns.Formerly a robotics and automation engineer, Patrick holds a BS and MS in Engineering and an MBA. Based in Honolulu, Hawaii, he is dedicated to educating investors on achieving financial independence through mastery in passive alternative investing.Contact Details:Email: patrick@passiveinvestingmastery.com Website: www.passiveinvestingmastery.com Socials:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/patricksgrimes/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/passiveinvestingmastery/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PassiveInvestingMastery Media Samples: ● Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing ● The Art of Passive Income ● The Wealth FlowFREE GIFT: PassiveInvestingMastery.com/bookRemember to SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss "Information That You Can Use."

Pascal Wagner is a former venture capitalist turned real estate investor who has built a $250,000 annual passive income portfolio through over 30 investments. As a VC at Techstars, he deployed $150 million into 300 companies, where he learned how top institutions analyze deals and manage risk. Today, he applies that same institutional approach to passive real estate investing while coaching others to invest with clarity and confidence.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here.     Key Takeaways Most passive investors make the mistake of analyzing deals in isolation instead of starting with a clear investment thesis. Institutional investors use a scientific method—macro themes first, then micro criteria, then deal selection. Diversification is essential: Pascal built co-living homes in Atlanta but realized his mom's retirement couldn't rest on one asset class or city. Following institutional or family office investors can provide a safer entry point for LPs. Separate your “cash flow bucket” from your “equity growth bucket” to align investments with goals.     Topics From Techstars to Real Estate Built early wealth through co-living rentals before joining Techstars as an investor. Learned institutional-level due diligence by reviewing thousands of deals. After his father's passing, managed his mother's retirement income and shifted focus to reliable passive strategies. How Institutions Invest Define a thesis first, then filter deals that fit. See hundreds of opportunities before investing in a few. Don't chase returns—find inevitable long-term trends and align investments accordingly. Developing Guardrails for LP Investing Criteria like vintage, roof types, and market selection come from experience and costly lessons. Partnering with operators who have already learned those lessons is critical. Institutional investors demand reporting, audits, and controls—retail investors can “follow” their lead. Buckets of Cash Flow vs. Equity Growth Co-living homes and private credit provide stable cash flow. High-risk equities (tech stocks, crypto) are placed in long-term equity growth buckets. Structured his mother's long-term holdings for inheritance tax advantages while using his own portfolio for near-term cash needs.

In this episode of Enrich Your Future, Andrew and Larry Swedroe discuss Larry's new book, Enrich Your Future: The Keys to Successful Investing. In this series, they discuss Chapter 40: The Big Rocks.LEARNING: Passive investing will give you the freedom you need. “Indexing and passive investing have the ‘disadvantage' of being boring. I admit it. However, if anyone needs to get their excitement in life from investing, I'd suggest they might want to consider getting another life.”Larry Swedroe In this episode of Enrich Your Future, Andrew and Larry Swedroe discuss Larry's new book, Enrich Your Future: The Keys to Successful Investing. The book is a collection of stories that Larry has developed over 30 years as the head of financial and economic research at Buckingham Wealth Partners to help investors. You can learn more about Larry's Worst Investment Ever story on Ep645: Beware of Idiosyncratic Risks.Larry deeply understands the world of academic research and investing, especially risk. Today, Andrew and Larry discuss Chapter 40: The Big Rocks.Chapter 40: The Big RocksIn Chapter 40, Larry explains why passive (systematic) investing is the winning strategy in life as well as investing.Like all the other chapters in the book, this one begins with a story used as an analogy to help understand a financial issue. In this one, a time-management expert fills a mason jar with large rocks. “Full?” she asks. The class agrees. She adds gravel, sand, and water – each filling the spaces between. When a student suggests the lesson is about fitting more into busy schedules, she corrects them:“If you don't put the big rocks in first, they'll never fit at all.”The investor's jarLarry explains the metaphor's profound implication for wealth:Big rocks = Family, health, growth, legacyGravel = Stock charts, earnings analysisSand = Financial news, market commentaryWater = Trading forums, portfolio tinkeringLarry explains that active investors start with gravel and sand, leaving insufficient time for the big rocks. They spend much of their precious leisure time watching the latest business news, studying the latest charts, scanning and posting on Internet investment discussion boards, reading financial trade publications and newsletters, and so on. Their jars fill with noise, leaving no room for life's essentials.Passive investors, on the other hand, ignore the ”noise” (the sand, the gravel, and the water) and place big rocks first. Their strategy operates quietly, driven by low-cost index funds and disciplined rebalancing. The result? Their jars hold what truly enriches life, giving them a sense of freedom and independence.Two stories, one lesson1. The physician's regretDuring the 1990s bull market, a doctor would spend nights analyzing stocks after 12-hour shifts. He turned $10,000 into $100,000 – but his marriage was on the verge of collapse. His wife no longer had a husband; his child lost a parent to the glow of stock charts. When the tech bubble burst, the money vanished.The wake-up call was brutal: He had traded first steps and bedtime stories for digits on a screen. After reading Larry's book, he switched to passive investing, which...

Skippy & Doogles are back and revved up. This week, they dig into what Ferrari's "one car less than demand" strategy teaches us about discipline in investing — and why most companies (and investors) can't help but chase growth at all costs. Then, the duo explores a new research paper warning that the passive investing boom might actually be setting us up for systemic risk. Finally, they tackle a sobering question: why are English-speaking countries so unhappy — and could housing policy be the hidden culprit?Join the Skippy and Doogles fan club.

In this episode of Excess Returns, Mike Green returns to dissect the structural transformation underway in public markets due to the rise of passive investing.
