Greg MacKinnon is Director of Research at the Pension Real Estate Association (PREA), where he updates the world's largest institutional investors on portfolio construction, risk, and strategy. His is a vantage point most sponsors never get to hear directly. In this conversation, Greg and I revisited our conversation from two weeks ago to drill deeper into the housing market. His thesis is simple but surprising: the capital flows and risk assessments at the very top of the pyramid are being reshaped by renter bifurcation and the economics of affordability. Here are five questions Greg answered that every serious CRE professional should consider: Why does the 10-year Treasury matter more than the Fed's 25 bps rate cut last week? How fragile is today's economy, and what does that mean for institutional portfolio construction? How can understanding the “barbell” of renter demand help you make better investment decisions? Why has naturally affordable multifamily historically outperformed luxury on a risk-adjusted basis? Where are institutions actually deploying capital today and why? Greg's insights are drawn from the institutional world, where the stakes are measured in billions and the lens is long-term risk management. For sponsors and operators, listening in offers a rare chance to see how these investors are evaluating markets - and to align your own strategies accordingly. ***   In this series, I cut through the noise to examine how shifting macroeconomic forces and rising geopolitical risk are reshaping real estate investing.   With insights from economists, academics, and seasoned professionals, this show helps investors respond to market uncertainty with clarity, discipline, and a focus on downside protection.    Subscribe to my free newsletter for timely updates, insights, and tools to help you navigate today's volatile real estate landscape.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana digs into a clear, step-by-step approach to building a cash-flowing U.S. real estate portfolio with only ~20% down. Guest Axel Meierhoefer breaks down mindset, savings habits (pay yourself first), and his Out-of-State Turnkey (OSTK) method—why single-family rentals in affordable markets can compound steadily through leverage, rent, amortization, and tax benefits. We also address risk management: cash-flow screens, reserves, tenant stability, and long-term horizons so wealth grows without spiking anxiety. Direct, practical, and designed for listeners who want financial independence without gambling.   About the Guest  : Axel Meierhoefer is a real-estate mentor and founder of Ideal Wealth Grower. After a career in the Air Force and consulting, he built a seven-figure rental portfolio and now mentors investors on turnkey, out-of-state single-family strategies that emphasize cash flow, sensible leverage, and systemized operations.   Key Takeaways: Pay yourself first: auto-allocate 10–15% of income into a separate investing account so the down payment fund steadily compounds. Small market advantage: target affordable, landlord-friendly U.S. metros where the price-to-rent ratio supports positive cash flow. Single-family stability: SFR tenants often stay longer than small multis, lowering turnover costs and stress. 20% down ≠ high risk when screened well: buy cash-flow positive properties after mortgage, taxes, insurance, management, and maintenance. Reserves are non-negotiable: bank monthly cash flow to cover vacancy and CapEx, so risk decreases over time. Leverage math (example): $20k down on a $100k home + 5% appreciation ≈ $5k equity gain (25% on cash invested) before amortization and tax benefits. Mindset > mechanics: set a target (e.g., $20–30k), track monthly progress, and keep the focus on long-term investing, not short-term speculation. Entry ladder if 20% is tough: consider REITs or tokenized real estate to begin learning while saving toward direct ownership.   Connect with the Guest   Website: idealwealthgrower.com Complimentary Discovery Call: Use the “Discovery Call” button on the top-right of the site to discuss goals and the mentoring process.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

How Key Person Insurance Saved Joel Friedland's Real Estate Portfolio - #250 In this episode of The Real Estate Reserve Podcast, we sit down with Chicago industrial real estate investor Joel Friedland to hear how decades of investing, market cycles, and a high-stakes partnership shaped his conservative, debt-free investment philosophy. Joel started in industrial real estate syndications at just 22 years old, eventually building a portfolio of over 50 properties. Along the way, he experienced the highs of rapid growth, the pressures of the 2008 financial crisis with $70M in personal guarantees, and the painful reality of a partnership gone wrong. Through it all, key person insurance (also called keyman insurance) became the safety net that saved his business and his investors when tragedy struck. But Joel's story isn't just about survival—it's about lessons learned and how to build a portfolio designed to last. You'll hear: ✅ How Joel built his career in industrial real estate syndications ✅ The risks of personal guarantees, high leverage, and “saying yes” to the wrong deals ✅ Why he compares partnerships to marriage—and how ignoring red flags nearly cost him everything ✅ The 2008 financial crisis, seven banks pushing workouts, and what finally pushed him to adopt a no-debt/low-debt strategy ✅ How key person insurance and succession planning protect investors ✅ His current approach: debt-averse, small industrial buildings, long-term holds, and 7.5% preferred returns with investors ✅ Why he says IRR stands for “Irrelevant”—and why he focuses on cash flow and 14% average annual returns instead ✅ The importance of investor relationships, succession plans, and building a business you can sleep well at night with Joel also shares candid reflections on lifestyle creep, partnership struggles, and why “breaking up is hard to do” when you're living the good life—but necessary for long-term stability. Plus, you'll learn how he structures deals today, from raising 100% equity, to waterfalls and prefs, to creative solutions for investors who want to exit without selling a property. This is a masterclass in risk management, succession planning, and conservative industrial real estate investing.

In this episode of The Industrial Real Estate Show, investor Kip Northrup shares the remarkable story of how he built a 14-property industrial portfolio in Michigan from the ground up, starting with a childhood passion for aquariums that evolved into a water feature business and eventually led him into real estate. Kip explains how early financial struggles pushed him to buy his first property out of necessity, and over time, he grew both his business and real estate holdings by purchasing underutilized or vacant buildings, fixing them up, and holding them long-term. He discusses his hands-on approach to property management with his wife, their preference for owning nearby assets, the emotional ups and downs of investing, and lessons learned from both wins and missteps—including a failed bowling alley redevelopment. Kip emphasizes simplicity in deal analysis, the power of cost segregation for tax advantages, and his passion for working directly with tenants to support small businesses. Now targeting a 50-property portfolio, Kip is cautiously expanding into retail while maintaining his core industrial strategy and values.Connect with Kip:LinkedIn: / kipnorthrup Website: https://pbddevelopment.com/--
