In this special episode of Tangent Proptech, Edward Cohen is on the red carpet at one of the most exclusive commercial real estate events of the year: the Real Estate Gala in New York City. This episode features rapid-fire conversations with founders, investors, brokers, developers, and operators across the proptech and commercial real estate ecosystem. A big focus of the evening was on AI. Namely, this question: how is AI being used in real estate right now? And possibly more front-and-center: what's hype and what's here to stay? From leasing and marketing to underwriting and financial modeling, this episode explores where artificial intelligence is already driving value in real estate, where it's falling short, and how we can close the gap.(00:00) - Welcome to the Real Estate Gala Red Carpet Interviews (02:30) - Cyrus Claffey (ButterflyMX): AI Across Product, Marketing, & Operations (06:00) - Zach Molzer (Molzer Development) & Madi Bremer (CBRE): Networking & AI in Leasing (08:30) - Gabe Einhorn (VryfID): Content, Consistency, and AI Efficiency (10:00) - Kaylan Knitowski (Franklin Street): AI Workflows and Competing with Experience (13:30) - David Auerbach (Hoya Capital): Driving Tech Adoption in Real Estate (14:45) - Adam Steiner (Rick, Steiner, Fell, and Benowitz): Document Automation & Bridging Tech and Business (16:45) - Humberto Lopes (HL Dynasty, Gotham Housing Alliance): A Human-First Real Estate Perspective (19:15) - Jovian Lopes (Gotham Housing Alliance): AI for Research vs Human Relationships (21:00) - Lauren O'Breza (Foresite CRE): AI in Brokerage & Underwriting (24:30) - Pablo Barreiro (Fortec): Simplifying Tech Adoption & the Future of Financing (26:00) - Shanti Ryle (Crexi): AI Data Enrichment & Storytelling Advantage (30:30) - Rameen Inayat (Ryan): AI for Admin & Property Tax Insights (32:00) - Collaboration Superpower: Priya Parker

If you're looking to build passive income through multifamily real estate, Elevest Capital gives you access to exclusive apartment investments not available to the public. Non-accredited investors can participate with as little as $10,000. Get on the Investor List: lfscapital.com In this episode of The MORE Show, I sit down once again with my good friend and business partner Adam Williams, Founder and CEO of Elevest Capital, for a raw and real conversation about what it truly takes to build lasting wealth through real estate. I open up about one of the most painful chapters of my career — losing millions of dollars after scaling too fast, trusting the wrong person, and being too stubborn to pivot out of single family despite being warned by both Adam and Grant Cardone. Rather than wallow in it, I want this story to empower you: there are smarter, more scalable, and more tax-efficient ways to build wealth than grinding through fix-and-flip or single family rentals. Adam breaks down why right now is a once-in-a-cycle perfect storm for multifamily apartment investing — with properties trading at 30-40% discounts, organic rent growth returning, demand outpacing supply, and 100% bonus depreciation back on the table thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill — and how through the MORE Club, everyday investors can get into $40M apartment deals with as little as $10,000, even without being accredited. This episode is about getting out of your own way, finding the right community, and taking real action toward financial freedom.

On today's Daily Detroit, Jer sits down with developer and Greatwater Homes co-founder Matt Temkin to unpack what it really takes to build brand-new single-family houses inside the city limits. After all, there were only 19 permits pulled in 2024 in Detroit. We dig into the brutal math behind new construction: why a typical unit can cost $250,000–$400,000 to build, how the "1% rent rule" prices many Detroiters out of new apartments, and why at $2,500 a month most people start asking whether they should just buy instead. Temkin says Detroit has always been a city of houses, and that new construction needs to respect that history while also meeting modern needs. Jer and Matt talk about designing homes that fit the neighborhood — solid walls, solid oak floors, real fireplaces, and façades that sit comfortably next to 100-year-old houses — without falling into the "matchstick" trap of cheaply built new builds. How trying to cut every corner doesn't actually help anybody. They also tackle pricing strategy, how Greatwater makes it financially sustainable while many others behind them have failed, and why bigger floorplans often end up being the better deal per square foot. And we talk about policy: Detroit's tiny share of new home construction in Wayne County, Mayor Mary Sheffield's goal of 1,000 new single-family homes, and what process changes like permits, taps, and inspections that could aunlock more quality new housing in city neighborhoods. As always, be sure to follow Daily Detroit in your favorite podcast app like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you isten to shows.

He advocates for income property over speculative assets like Bitcoin, highlighting the unique "multi-dimensional" returns and tax benefits found in real estate. Jason introduces his "inflation-induced debt destruction" strategy, explaining how fixed-rate mortgages allow investors to pay back loans with devalued currency during inflationary periods. He further categorizes locations into linear, cyclical, and hybrid markets, advising investors to prioritize boring, stable areas with favorable landlord laws.

Trump just issued an executive order to ban large institutional investors from purchasing single family homes. He stated "A person sweats, works, buys one house and can't take depreciation". The average age of first time homebuyers is 40, the highest ever recorded. The average age of all homebuyers is 59. Homebuyers over the age of 70 outnumber buyers under 35. This is not a healthy market. Trump's ban will likely reduce home prices in the short term. Lennar, the second largest homebuilder in the US, has dropped prices 27%, below pre-pandemic prices. New home inventory especially in the Southeast are at all-time highs. The homebuilders felt comfortable building homes because if they were unable to sell to a homebuyer institutional buyers would purchase the property. The US dollar as reserve currency status has been strengthened. It is based primarily on the petrodollar. The US and Saudi Arabia agreed to price its oil in US dollars in exchange for military protection and economic cooperation. The relationship was strengthened recently by Trump. This ensures steady demand for the dollar. In 2019 the US became a net exporter of oil. This further strengthens the US dollar in oil trade. All major oil benchmarks, West Texas Intermediate and Brent Crude are priced in US dollars. US and Venezuelan combined oil reserves account for over 50% of the total world's oil reserves. As long as the US controls Venezuelan oil, the US will dominate the world oil market. The US has prevented China from controlling Venezuelan oil. This is a significant hit to China and the BRICS currency.

Many Sunbelt and coastal markets entered a correction or stagnation phase last year, but Chicago stands out as a rare “comeback market". That's according to the new annual report from RENTOMETER which says nationally, single-family rent prices from 2024 to 2025 moved up less than 1%, while rent prices in Chicago rocketed up 6.8 %, making it a top rent gainer among large cities in the U.S..

Should private equity firms and corporations be able to buy single family homes? Would banning them have any effect on the unaffordable real estate market?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This week, Jason and Michael Zuber evaluate President Trump's recent executive actions and their potential consequences for the national housing market and broader economy. They highlights efforts to ban institutional investors from buying single-family homes, a move seen as politically popular but unlikely to trigger a significant price collapse. They also examine the implications of capping credit card interest rates at 10%, debating whether this will help struggling families or inadvertently cause a sharp contraction in available credit. They consider how government-backed mortgage securities and lower interest rates could stimulate housing turnover and GDP growth. Additionally, they cover the subpoena of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and the possibility of future federal incentives for first-time homebuyers and entry-level builders. Ultimately, they suggest that while some measures may face legal or economic hurdles, they signal a shift toward economic nationalism and prioritized affordability. #TrumpExecutiveOrders #HousingAffordability #SingleFamilyHomes #InstitutionalInvestors #WallStreetRealEstate #AtlantaHousing #JacksonvilleRealEstate #FairHousing #FannieMae #FreddieMac #MortgageRates #JeromePowell #FedSubpoena #FederalReserveRemodel #CreditCardInterestCap #ConsumerCredit #DebtReduction #FirstTimeHomeBuyers #FiftyYearMortgage #TaxCredits #HousingInventory #EntryLevelHousing #GIBuilderInitiative #GDPGrowth #EconomicFraud #InflationInducedDebtDestruction #RealEstateInvesting #PropertyTracker #MortgageLockInEffect #MidtermElections2026 #VenezuelaOil #EnergyCosts #SoundMoney #HousingEmergency #RentToValueRatio #AffordabilityImprovement Key Takeaways: 0:00 Trump's Venezuela Strategy 2:47 Cotality data: small versus mega investors 7:28 Equity cushions 8:44 Mortgage rates drop and the effects it brings to the economy 14:35 The worse kind of debt 20:37 Jerome Powell subpoenaed 29:30 Program for the first-time home buyer and builders 36:00 Learning the Proforma https://propertytracker.com/ 39:30 What's coming in 2026 Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class: Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com
Allie's dad, Ron Simmons, kicks off his new twice-monthly Relatable series with a hard-hitting look at 2026's opening headlines: the U.S. military's January 3 capture of Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro, who is currently facing narco-terrorism and trafficking charges in New York. His capture was legally justified under precedents like Panamanian President Manuel Noriega's 1989 arrest, yet despite this, Democrats reveal their underlying hypocrisy and bemoan the terrorist's capture. Ron also unpacks the ill-fated Minneapolis shooting involving an ICE agent and a 37-year-old woman who was trying to impede federal agents. And he also looks at the White House's executive order push on housing affordability. Lastly, Ron answers listener questions in his segment “Words from the Wagon” on enduring faith, politics in relationships, GOP midterm strategy, and more.

Today, Jason talks about the power of leverage and real estate investment. A core argument is presented through comparative returns, illustrating that leveraging single-family homes yields a superior return on investment compared to the S&P 500 and gold, driven by the host's "inflation-induced debt destruction strategy." He also touches upon a housing shortage, limited inventory, and the Federal Reserve's rate cut, which is expected to further increase home prices. Finally, Jason encourages listeners to become direct investors and "buy some houses and rent them out," criticizing more complex investment vehicles like syndications and the stock market as deals where only the promoters profit significantly. Jason then welcomes client Jay Von Lehman, a former Army engineer officer turned real estate investor, who discussed his investment journey from reading Rich Dad Poor Dad in 2013 to his current focus on gold investments through Monetary Metals. They explored the economic benefits of real estate and precious metals investments, particularly in the context of inflation and currency devaluation, while also discussing the government's stance on cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin. They conclude with a discussion about the current real estate market conditions and the benefits of self-managing properties across multiple states, with Jay sharing his experience managing properties remotely. #RealEstate #Leverage #InflationInducedDebtDestruction #AssetAppreciation #SingleFamilyHomes #IncomeProperty #TaxFavoredAssetClass #FedRateCut #MoneyPrinter #HousingShortage #ShadowDemand #EconomicBoom #GDPGrowth #TechnologyBoom #AI #MonthsOfSupply #DirectInvestor #StopOvercomplicatingIt #BuyHousesRentThemOut #MasterClass #ClientCaseStudy #PasadenaCalifornia Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 1:58 Join our FREE Masterclass every second Wednesday of each month.

In the first episode of A Developing Story, host Brian Peter Falk introduces the idyllic beach city of Santa Monica, California and explores how a controversial state wide development mandate called "The Housing Element" is forcing the city to allow the construction of nearly 9,000 new apartments.Santa Monica Daily Press Links:https://smdp.com/news/hcd-rejects-citys-housing-element-demands-revisions/https://smdp.com/news/after-housing-element-debacle-implementation-work-begins/https://smdp.com/news/housing-element-becomes-hot-topic-at-local-leader-gathering/
In this episode, Brian examines three housing development projects in Santa Monica – all of which have courted controversy. One is a large development that could replace a beloved grocery store, another is a supportive housing project a block from the city's shopping promenade, and the third is a project that was killed by community activism, with unintended consequences.

As California's current high-speed rail fiasco attests, big and ambitious public projects are hard. California's biggest project of all is housing development. Will it suffer the same fate? In this final episode, Brian explores the impediments to success, including the increasingly caustic "backyard brawl" between NIMBYS and YIMBYS, and asks his guests to pitch their versions of a successful housing future.
