In this episode, Michael sits down with Derrick Lind, a structural engineer with 25 years of experience who transitioned from single-family rentals into multifamily syndication. Derrick shares how his analytical mindset both helped—and initially held him back—as he navigated analysis paralysis, conservative underwriting, and fear of taking action. He also discusses how mentorship, networking, and ultimately writing a book (Real Estate Investing for Engineers) helped him break through and close larger deals with confidence.Key Takeaways Analytical strengths can become liabilities — engineers and professionals excel at analysis but often struggle to take action without perfect information.Single-family rentals become inefficient at scale, leading many investors to multifamily for better operations, valuation control, and professional management.You don't need 100% certainty to move forward — real estate is forgiving, and most deals allow room to adjust after closing.Mentorship and networks accelerate growth by providing experienced perspectives, deal flow, and partnership opportunities.Being overly conservative can prevent deals entirely — it's better to manage risk than avoid it altogether.Authority builds credibility — writing a book positioned Derrick as a trusted expert and opened doors with investors and partners.Connect with MichaelFacebookInstagramYouTubeTikTokResourcesTheFreedomPodcast.com Access the #1 FREE Apartment Investing Course (Apartments 101)Schedule a Free Strategy Session with Michael's Team of AdvisorsExplore Michael's Mentoring ProgramJoin the Nighthawk Equity Investor ClubReview the Podcast on Apple PodcastsSyndicated Deal AnalyzerGet the Book, Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing by Michael Blank For full episode show notes visit: https://themichaelblank.com/podcasts/session508/
In this episode, we tackle a big question for women building wealth through real estate: should you invest when you have credit card debt—and can credit cards ever be used strategically? Guest Malia Gudenkauf, also known as Little Miss Finance, breaks down when credit card debt is a hard no, when it might be acceptable, and why paying off 20–30% interest often beats chasing the next deal. We dig into the difference between using a 0% APR promo card versus revolving high-interest debt, plus the few situations where investing with debt can make sense, such as a conservative cosmetic flip or a house hack that slashes your housing costs so you can attack balances faster. We also flag major red flags, such as making only minimum payments, relying on rental cash flow to cover interest, and investing without reserves. Beyond the numbers, we talk about the stress of debt, the habit of “burying your head in the sand,” and how real estate should expand your life—not add panic.

Tech has looked unstoppable thanks to AI winners—but a huge part of the market is telling a very different story. In this episode, Simon and Dan break down the brutal valuation reset hitting SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) stocks, with many major names down 30–50%+ despite still-solid underlying businesses. They explain the classic “moats” that made SaaS so powerful—switching costs, ecosystems, and data—and why AI agents and LLM-driven automation are now challenging the seat-based pricing model that many software companies depend on. The discussion moves through a rapid-fire list of well-known SaaS names to unpack what’s driving the drawdowns, where the market may be overreacting, and where the risk of disruption is real. Bottom line: some of these stocks may be turning into genuine value opportunities—but the old playbook may no longer apply, and investors need to underwrite what the business looks like 2–5 years from now, not what it used to be.

On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan Greene sits down with Nick Corwin, founder of Oak and Ember, to explore what it really looks like to move from long-term rentals into short-term hospitality and eventually into ground-up development. Nick shares how an engineering mindset, strong mentorship, and disciplined downside analysis shaped his early investing decisions. The conversation traces Nick's evolution from owning Midwest long-term rentals to building unique short-term experiences in the Wisconsin Dells. He explains why chasing the middle of the market can be a losing strategy, how combining units and serving overlooked guest segments created an edge, and why operating short-term rentals requires far more systems and empathy than most investors expect. Jonathan and Nick also unpack the realities of entitlement risk, zoning battles, and development timelines. Nick offers a candid look at what it takes to push a project through local approvals, manage rising costs, and stay grounded when timelines and budgets inevitably expand. In this episode, you will hear: Why testing whether you even like being a landlord matters before scaling How Nick identified underserved short-term rental niches instead of competing in crowded markets The operational differences between long-term rentals and hospitality businesses Lessons learned from zoning, entitlement hurdles, and community resistance Why doubling both your budget and timeline can save you from painful surprises Follow and Review If you enjoy the show, please follow Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing on Apple Podcasts and leave a rating and review.

We're always talking about residential real estate. But what about that “other” market, the one worth $24 trillion? It's no secret that commercial real estate has had one of its toughest stretches in many years, with many calling it an outright “crash.” If we've already reached the bottom, could large multifamily and other assets be poised for a huge turnaround in 2026? Over the last couple of years, we've seen multifamily, office, retail, and even self storage prices tumble due to several factors: rising mortgage rates, rate adjustments on commercial debt, higher cap rates, tighter lending criteria, and more supply coming online. This “perfect storm” has put significant downward pressure on commercial property values, causing forced selling and scaring many investors away. But these same challenges could create opportunity, especially if prices stabilize over the next 12 months. We break down the variables at play, the most compelling bull and bear cases for these assets, and how investors can protect themselves with “scared” real estate analysis. Dave is ready to take advantage, but which asset is he betting on? In This Episode We Cover Dave's 2026 predictions for the commercial real estate market Whether large multifamily values could bounce back in 2026 The “perfect storm” that caused the steep decline in large multifamily prices The bull and bear cases for a commercial real estate turnaround The asset class that is least likely to recover from the commercial “crash” Four tips for investors looking to buy multifamily properties in the next 12 months And So Much More!

On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan Greene sits down with Bri West, co-founder of Somerled Designs, to explore how strategic design has become a competitive advantage in today's short-term rental market. Drawing on her background in marketing and real estate investing, Bri explains why design should be treated as a revenue-driving investment rather than a cosmetic expense. The conversation dives into how niching down on a clear guest avatar, using data to guide design decisions, and prioritizing high-impact spaces can dramatically increase ADR—even if occupancy is lower. Bri also shares insights from managing and designing hundreds of short-term rentals nationwide, including common mistakes investors make, how to think about amenities and bed configurations, and why lifestyle photography and branding are no longer optional. Listeners will come away with a clearer framework for evaluating short-term rental opportunities, aligning design with long-term investment goals, and standing out in increasingly saturated markets. In this episode, you will hear: Why short-term rental design should start with data and investment strategy, not personal taste How niching down on a specific guest experience can outperform "general" properties The role of amenities, durability, and bed layout in guest satisfaction and reviews Why branding and lifestyle photography directly impact bookings and pricing power How to think about long-term competitiveness as markets become more saturated Follow and Review If you enjoy the show, please follow Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing on Apple Podcasts and leave a rating and review.

A new groundbreaking capability was conceived, developed, and released to the world in 10 days. Yes, you heard that correctly. 10 days can change the world. That sounds like some historic platitude. What I'm referring to is a new software application that was introduced only a few days ago. That's software application which runs on the Mac was developed from concept to release in the wild in 10 days. Let that sink in for a moment. Inside most companies, you would have trouble getting the marketing focus group to get together and convene a meeting to discuss the future content for the release of a software application may be sometime next year. The application I'm talking about is Claude Cowork from anthropic. Yes, it is an AI application. This is a Real Estate Investing podcast. So stay with me. We're not here to talk about AI. We are here to talk about the impact of this software application on your Real Estate Investing business.------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1) iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613) Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com) LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce) YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734) Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso) Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com) **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com) Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital) Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

Real Estate Investor Dad Podcast ( Investing / Investment in Canada )
254: In this episode, I'm talking with Claude Diamond, a legendary sales coach, real estate investor, former attorney, and the creator of the G.U.T.S. Sales Method. In this conversation, we dive deep into how real persuasion works in real estate and why most land investors get it completely wrong.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/254)We covered the real psychology of sales: why most training misses the mark, how to turn prospects into the salesperson, the power of silence, emotional decision-making, qualifying fast with a 3-minute timer, and why enthusiasm + value beats every script. Claude shares raw stories, role-plays, and his “Gut Selling” philosophy that's made him financially free and is still helping investors worldwide.If you're tired of rejection, shiny-object syndrome, or just sending more mail without better conversations, this is the one you've been waiting for.
The housing market is unaffordable. But the Trump administration is trying to change that. The question is: Will any of their proposals actually work? Trump's housing policy is clear: make buying a house more affordable for the average American. The President has floated 50-year mortgages, portable mortgages, purchasing mortgage bonds, and banning institutional investors. All of these, to some extent, could make the housing market more affordable. But, there's one big problem that these policies overlook—one that could make a future crash or bubble much more likely. Today, we're breaking down the Trump administration's top housing policies and giving an honest look at which could work, which might be just hype, and whether any will actually fix the unaffordable housing market. Plus, Dave offers his own proposal for what could change the housing market (for good) and why investor “upside” could grow if any of Trump's proposals actually pass. Is this a boon for affordability, or could Trump's best efforts backfire? In This Episode We Cover Trump's current proposals to make the housing market more affordable (and which will work) The crucial problem with the housing market 99% of politicians won't touch on A real estate bubble? A housing market crash? Why “affordable” changes could backfire 2026's most likely scenario and why Dave is planning to buy even more real estate Growing “upside” for rentals as Trump policies help homeowners get in the game And So Much More!

In this episode, Michael Blank sits down with Hal Elrod, bestselling author of The Miracle Morning, to talk about habits, mindset, and resilience. Hal shares how a near-fatal car accident, cancer, and financial collapse reshaped his philosophy on success—and why personal development is the foundation of financial freedom. This conversation explores how investors can use intentional daily routines to build clarity, discipline, and long-term fulfillment both in business and in life.Key Takeaways Morning routines shape long-term success — how you start the day determines focus, energy, and results.Adversity is neutral — meaning comes from the perspective you choose, not the circumstance itself.Personal development is non-negotiable — investing in yourself accelerates every other area of life.Small daily habits compound over time, creating massive long-term impact.Success without fulfillment is failure — aligning goals with purpose matters more than achievement alone.Consistency beats intensity — sustainable routines outperform short-lived motivation.Connect with MichaelFacebookInstagramYouTubeTikTokResourcesTheFreedomPodcast.com Access the #1 FREE Apartment Investing Course (Apartments 101)Schedule a Free Strategy Session with Michael's Team of AdvisorsExplore Michael's Mentoring ProgramJoin the Nighthawk Equity Investor ClubReview the Podcast on Apple PodcastsSyndicated Deal AnalyzerGet the Book, Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing by Michael Blank For full episode show notes visit: https://themichaelblank.com/podcasts/session507/

Real estate didn't just change our income—it transformed our time, relationships, and what we believe is possible for our lives. In this episode, we share honestly about the lifestyle shifts we've experienced since becoming real estate investors: non-traditional work weeks, flexible days built around things we love (like pickleball, personal training, and slow Fridays), and the ability to travel or go home for weeks at a time without asking for PTO.We talk about how our social circles have completely changed as we've surrounded ourselves with ambitious women who talk about equity, mindset, and expansion. Amelia opens up about leaving a 9-year relationship, how having her own portfolio gave her the option to walk away, and why you can still invest even if your partner isn't on board.We also break down how real estate has made us financially stronger through debt paydown, equity, tax benefits, and the confidence that we can go out and make more money because we have the skills. If you're a woman who wants more freedom, alignment, and audacity in your life, this conversation will feel like a glimpse of what's possible for you, too.

We’ve got fresh TFSA room for 2026, so we’re switching it up with a list of 8 stocks that we think are worth considering inside a TFSA. This isn’t a deep dive, it’s a clear bull case + key risks for each idea. We hit everything from a data-and-subscription business getting punished by “AI disruption” fears, to a global infrastructure/engineering compounder riding grid and capex cycles, to a Canada-based gold producer with unusual valuation metrics, and a copper-heavy miner tied to electrification and AI-driven power demand. We also debate a quiet compounder in auto services, a steady dividend “bond proxy” (and why rates matter), a subprime lender where the upside is big but regulation and credit risk are real, and a post-pandemic cash machine trading like the market thinks growth is gone for good Tickers discussed: TRI.TO, WSP.TO, WDO.TO, TECK-B.TO, BYD.TO, FTS.TO, PRL.TO, ZM New to investing?

On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan Greene sits down with Ash Patel, a commercial real estate investor with more than 15 years of experience investing beyond multifamily. Ash shares how an early mixed-use deal opened his eyes to the advantages of commercial assets and ultimately reshaped his entire investing approach. The conversation explores why many commercial assets are misunderstood or overlooked, including office, retail, medical, and mixed-use properties. Ash explains how changing work patterns, suburban growth, and market cycles are creating rare opportunities to acquire high-quality commercial buildings at deep discounts, often well below replacement cost. Jonathan and Ash also dig into the mindset required to succeed in real estate, the dangers of chasing trends promoted on social media, and why newer investors may benefit from escaping overcrowded asset classes. This episode offers a grounded look at how flexibility, curiosity, and long-term thinking can open doors to less competitive—and often more resilient—investment opportunities. In this episode, you will hear: How Ash transitioned from residential and mixed-use into commercial real estate Why office, retail, and medical assets are misunderstood by many investors How market cycles create opportunities across different commercial asset classes The risks of following social-media-driven investment trends Why parking, location, and tenant mix matter more than asset labels How mindset plays a larger role than mechanics in long-term success Follow and Review If you enjoy the show, please follow Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing on Apple Podcasts and leave a rating and review.

Real Estate Investor Dad Podcast ( Investing / Investment in Canada )
Send us a textWhat if one buried document could cost… or save…you millions?Joe Downs sits down with real estate attorney Jason Mandel to unravel the nerve-wracking tale of a nearly disastrous storage facility acquisition, dubbed “The Storage Attic.” With only minutes left in the due diligence period, Joe discovered the property was four feet underwater in a flood zone… not the two feet the 87-year-old seller claimed. The insurance premium? A jaw-dropping jump from $12,000 to $81,000 a year. Jason reveals how quick legal thinking and strategic contract clauses narrowly saved the deal… and Joe's investment. They also dig into other cautionary case studies from students, exposing pitfalls like outdated broker forms and zoning blind spots. This episode proves that specialized legal expertise isn't a luxury… it's your lifeline in self-storage investing.

Dakota Bailey has quietly built a seven-year real estate operation that put 350 deals under contract in a single year — all in a small Midwest market. In this episode, Dakota breaks down how he went from car sales to running a high-volume wholesaling business, why simplifying his operation was critical to scaling, and how hiring the right acquisitions manager led to 37 deals in one month. He also talks candidly about inventory risk, leadership mistakes, hard conversations, and the mindset required to stay calm while managing dozens of active deals at once.
