It's what if Wednesday on Mundo in the Morning. John dives into three thought-provoking scenarios. First, what if the Kansas City Council actually cared about resident feedback on the proposed practice facility at K10 and Ridgeview. Would it have made a difference in the unanimous vote? Next, he and Pete explore what if the Kansas STAR bond district pays off 15 years early, and how that would impact the state's revenue. Finally, the guys consider what if the KCMO Talk Radio audience is booming in Slater, Missouri, and how that might change the conversation. These "what ifs" lead to interesting discussions about decision-making and the potential consequences of different outcomes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Target Market Insights: Multifamily Real Estate Marketing Tips
Ben Michel is the founder and principal of Ridgeview Property Group, a real estate investment firm focused on value-add multifamily properties in the Twin Cities. After a decade as a multifamily broker, Ben transitioned into investing during the pandemic and has since grown Ridgeview's portfolio to $25 million in assets. He specializes in heavy-lift renovations using construction debt, transforming underperforming properties into long-term holds that generate stable returns. Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways A decade as a broker provided Ben with credibility and deal-analysis skills that investors trusted. Raising capital requires confidence, credibility, and broad connections—not just a handful of close contacts. Expanding his outreach from 50 contacts to thousands transformed his ability to raise funds. Coaching and mentorship were critical for learning construction loans, renovations, and repositioning strategies. Long-term success depends on planning for market cycles with reserves, staggered debt maturities, and strong operations. Topics From Broker to Investor Ten years as a multifamily broker built experience analyzing deals and observing operators. First investment came from converting a failed listing into a purchase with an investor partner during Covid. Early Capital Raising Lessons First deal funded by a single $1 million investor—a stroke of luck. Learned the hard way that a tiny investor list made future raises difficult. Expanded his outreach by adding thousands of past contacts to his newsletter, enabling a $2.2M raise. Mentorship and Scaling Immediately hired a mentor to learn construction debt, repositioning, and property branding. Shifted from “softball” deals to larger renovations requiring professional systems. Twin Cities Market Strategy Avoids restrictive areas like St. Paul (rent control) and focuses on stable suburbs. Considered Nashville and Bentonville but doubled down locally due to his network and knowledge. Value-Add Execution Renovates 1960s–70s properties with $18–25K per-unit budgets. Upgrades include flooring, cabinets, granite, stainless appliances, dishwashers, and modern lighting. Strategy creates long-term, easier-to-manage assets with better tenant profiles.

In early 1986, Austin, Texas was grappling with rising crime, particularly around the condemned Booker T. Washington housing project on the east side, which had become a haven for drugs and violence due to bureaucratic neglect. Amid this, Ruth Case—a beloved nurse, student, wife, and mother of two—vanished after attending a class at Austin Community College's Ridgeview campus nearby. Her disappearance shocked the community, especially after her car was found untouched and no immediate leads emerged. Weeks later, her purse surfaced in a nearby wooded area, and soon after, her raped and murdered body was discovered in a vacant, unlocked unit within the housing project—one supposedly searched by police earlier. The failure of that search drew criticism and led to procedural reforms, while Ruth's tragic death underscored the urgent need to address the dangerous conditions in the area. Although several suspects were considered, no one was ever charged, and the case eventually went cold. Today, Ruth's family continues to mourn.If you have any information about the murder of Ruth Helene Case, please contact the Austin police Department Homicide Tip line at 512-477-3588.You can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFor Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

Pastor Micah Hayes continues our sermon series, "The Purpose of Jesus," preaching from Luke 16:18. Notes in this sermon: God designed marriage to be a lifelong commitment between one man and one woman. Due to the introduction of sin into the world, marriage vows are broken. Therefore, God permits divorce in the cases of adultery, abandonment, and abuse. The victim of a permissible divorce is free to remarry. Parties to an impermissible divorce should repent and seek to reconcile. Repentant parties to an impermissible divorce are free to remarry if their former spouse won't be reconciled. Parties to an impermissible divorce who have married another spouse should repent of their divorce and remain married to their current spouse. Unrepentant parties to an impermissible divorce are not permitted to remarry.
