Old Dominion Basketball Head Coach Mike Jones joins The Monarchists Basketball Show for an honest, in-depth conversation about where the Monarchs stand as Sun Belt play heats up. Coach Jones breaks down the challenges of a tough non-conference schedule, early-game struggles, offensive flow, defensive execution, rebounding analytics, lineup decisions, and the leadership emerging inside the locker room. He also previews a massive matchup with Georgia Southern and addresses fan questions head-on — from slow starts to young player development to Sun Belt scheduling frustrations. Despite the bumps, one thing is clear: everything the Monarchs want to accomplish is still right in front of them.

Send us a textThe housing map just redrew itself, and the early signals are hiding in plain sight. We dig into real-time, spending-based migration data that shows a clear turn: several Sunbelt magnets are shifting to net outbound while Midwest and select Northeast cities pull in new residents. This isn't about trendiness or last cycle's headlines—it's about affordability, supply, and how many people are actually moving right now.We break down why move rates are down roughly a third from their peak and what that means for markets that relied on a constant inflow of buyers. Expect a nuanced price picture: national home prices have slipped for the first time in two years, but the declines concentrate in parts of the South and Mountain West. Meanwhile, Indianapolis, Columbus, and even Cleveland are gaining ground as payment-to-income ratios stay within reach and inventory remains manageable. We compare Atlanta's rapid run-up and rising supply to Chicago's tighter market, showing how overshoot risk turns into seller pressure when demand cools.There's also a twist where few expected it: segments of downtown San Francisco are stabilizing as AI-driven wealth returns, inventory tightens, and high-end demand reappears. The takeaway is simple and powerful—housing is local, capital seeks opportunity, and affordability is destiny. Sellers in softening markets need surgical pricing and fast adjustments to avoid stale listings. Buyers should anchor decisions on payment ratios, supply velocity, and durable local demand instead of hype. If you want to make a smart move in a noisy market, follow the data, not the narrative.Subscribe for more data-backed insights, share this episode with a friend who's house hunting, and leave a review to tell us what market you're watching next.

Is Cleveland the not so best-kept secret in the real estate world? Most investors are fighting over scraps in overpriced "Sunbelt" markets, but the "Smart Money" is quietly moving toward the Midwest's most resilient cash-flow engine.In Part One of this deep-dive series, Bill Barnett and Kevin Mills break down the Forensic Case for Cleveland. We don't just "like" this market—we are actively invested here. We're pulling back the curtain on why this city offers a rare combination of low entry barriers and high-velocity returns that you won't find on the coasts.Inside Part One, you'll discover:The Stability Play: Why Cleveland's healthcare and tech sectors create a "recession-proof" tenant base that institutional investors crave.The Yield Gap: How to find properties with price-to-rent ratios that actually make sense in a high-interest-rate environment.The Section 8 Secret: How we leverage government-backed high-yield housing to secure "recession-proof" monthly deposits.Psychology of the Market: Why most investors overlook Cleveland, and how that "blind spot" is your biggest competitive advantage.The Cleveland Edge:Cleveland isn't just about cheap houses; it's about predictable infrastructure. We discuss the specific neighborhood "pockets" where we are seeing the highest growth and the operational strategies that Bill and Kevin are using.#ClevelandRealEstate #CashFlow #Section8Investing #MidwestInvesting #RealEstateStrategy #InvestorGuys #MarketForensics

Where is buyer demand showing up in 2025? According to a new report from Zillow, the hottest housing markets this year aren't the usual coastal or Sun Belt favorites — they're affordable Midwestern cities. In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, Kathy Fettke breaks down Zillow's list of the most popular housing markets of 2025, led by Rockford, Illinois. We look at why buyers are flocking to lower-priced markets with strong job access, fast-moving inventory, and growing out-of-state interest. You'll also hear which cities are topping Zillow's rankings across categories — from large metros and small towns to vacation destinations, college towns, and retirement markets — and what these shifts signal for real estate investors.

Trey Morgan and Derek Copeland of Sentinel Grove Partners pull back the curtain on the high-stakes world of restaurant real estate and private equity. The trio explores the critical importance of the landlord-tenant relationship, viewing it as a long-term partnership rather than a mere transaction, and discusses the shift toward a "landlord's market" in high-growth regions like the Sunbelt. Beyond the numbers, Trey and Derek emphasize that successful investing is about "betting the jockey, not the horse," highlighting how exceptional leadership, staff retention, and clear succession planning are the true indicators of a concept's longevity in an unpredictable economy.10 Key Takeaways Interview Your Landlord: A lease is only as good as the people behind it. Talk to existing tenants to see how the landlord handles crises before signing. Bet the Jockey, Not the Horse: A great concept (the horse) will fail with a poor operator, but a great operator (the jockey) can pivot and save a concept during a "black swan" event like COVID-19. The "Disproportionate" Equity Model: A popular funding structure involves paying investors back 100% of their capital first; once de-risked, the profit split shifts in favor of the operator. Staff Longevity as a Metric: High retention (e.g., staff staying 20+ years) is the ultimate green flag for investors, signaling a healthy culture and operational stability. The "Landlord's Market": In high-growth areas like the Southeast, low vacancy and high demand mean rents are spiking, requiring operators to be faster and more prepared during negotiations. Banking is still Face-to-Face: Despite digital trends, walking into a branch and looking a lender in the eye is still the best way to secure capital for a restaurant. The Rule of Three Banks: Operators should maintain 2–3 banking relationships, as individual banks may lose their "appetite" for the restaurant sector depending on the economic cycle. Inflation Beyond Rent: It's not just the base rent; skyrocketing "Triple Net" (NNN) costs—taxes, insurance, and maintenance—are the biggest current headwinds for operators. Succession Planning is Mandatory: Investors need to know what happens if the founder "gets hit by a bus." A business that can't run without its owner is a risky investment. Tenant Mix Matters: Successful real estate development requires a balance; too many restaurants in one center creates parking "cannibalization," hurting everyone's sales.

As 2025 comes to a close, multifamily investors are facing a market defined by shifting interest rates, slowing construction, and emerging distress—especially across the Sun Belt. In this episode of Kiss My Assets, Kyle Macdonald and Neighborhood Ventures CEO Jason Manwaring break down what's happening beneath the surface of the Phoenix multifamily market. They discuss SOFR versus the 10-year Treasury, why rate cuts haven't translated to lower long-term borrowing costs, and how government debt is influencing the bond market. The conversation also examines two notable Phoenix deals—a high-profile office-to-multifamily conversion at Central and Camelback and a $100M ground-up development breaking ground despite a sharp drop in permits. Finally, they explore why short-term softness in Sun Belt markets may be creating long-term opportunity for disciplined investors heading into 2026.

Episode Overview In this episode, Michael talks with San Diego-based real estate investor Justin Brennan about one of the hottest topics in housing today, the rise of the 50-year mortgage, and what it means for homebuyers, investors, and the future of urban development. Their discussion explores the practical realities behind long-term mortgages, market resilience, and the shift toward apartment investments as a sustainable wealth strategy. 50-Year Mortgage Market Insights Michael and Justin open with a breakdown of the new 50-year mortgage trend. While these loans may sound like a solution for affordability, Justin explains that they're mainly amortization tools designed to reduce monthly payments, not a pathway to home ownership. Since the average homeowner stays in their property for 5.5 to 7 years, very few people will ever pay off a home under such a long-term structure. The takeaway: it's more about short-term cash flow than long-term payoff. Real Estate Lessons from Family and Experience Justin shares how his upbringing in San Diego shaped his perspective. Coming from a family deeply rooted in both real estate and military service, he learned valuable lessons about risk, leverage, and resilience from his grandmother and father. His father's experience during the 2008 financial crisis inspired Justin to take a more measured, apartment-focused investment approach that prioritizes stability and steady income. Housing Market Trends and Resilience Michael draws parallels between the cyclical nature of the auto and housing sectors, noting that true wealth often comes from those who rebuild after financial loss. Together, they examine current trends: single-family housing shortages in coastal markets, the growth of vertical construction in San Diego, and temporary oversupply in Sunbelt regions. Both agree that while red tape slows coastal development, new models for multifamily housing are creating fresh opportunities for investors. The Baby Boomer Housing Shift Michael predicts a generational shift on the horizon as baby boomers eventually leave the housing market. With many holding onto single-family homes longer than ever, a massive turnover is expected in coming decades. This could lead to the redevelopment of neighborhoods into multifamily housing, reshaping the fabric of communities nationwide. Justin agrees, noting that this transition will open doors for new investors and developers focused on density and urban design. Apartment Investing Insights and Strategies Justin goes deep into apartment investing, emphasizing its scalability and operational efficiency. He contrasts apartment ownership with single-family rentals, pointing out reduced maintenance costs, shared insurance, and easier management structures. His key message: mastering deal analysis and financing structures is essential to unlocking the best real estate opportunities. Apartment Syndication Investment Overview For those with limited capital, Justin explains how apartment syndication can serve as an entry point. With as little as $30,000, investors can join syndicates that purchase 10 to 30-unit buildings in affordable markets like the Midwest. He compares syndicators to high-level problem solvers, likening their expertise to neurosurgeons or hedge fund managers. The value lies in their ability to identify, structure, and manage complex deals that generate long-term wealth and legacy potential. Real Estate and AI Integration Michael and Justin discuss how artificial intelligence is reshaping real estate strategy. From analyzing property data to modernizing apartment amenities like Wi-Fi, digital shopping hubs, and smart community features, AI is becoming a tool for creating scalable and livable investments. They stress that success comes from curiosity, understanding market language, and embracing innovation. Real Estate Entrepreneurship and Resilience Justin closes by sharing his entrepreneurial journey—marked by persistence, calculated risk, and the ability to take action even when under pressure. He encourages listeners to use downtime productively, whether that means starting a side hustle or investing in real estate education. His final message: the ability to endure stress and uncertainty is what separates dreamers from successful entrepreneurs.

Economic and social science research suggests climate risks are beginning to inform where people choose to live, raise families, and invest, foreshadowing the decline of a near 75-year trend of domestic migration to the Southern U.S. This is the focus of urban planner and trusted climate adaptation scholar Jesse M. Keenan's new book, North: The Future of Post-Climate America.  As the costs of environmental risks to homes, communities and livelihoods become insupportable in the most vulnerable areas of the country, many who are able will gravitate to regions where life can be relatively stable and secure.  North is a comprehensive assessment of trendlines and evidence that suggest how this migration will occur—and how leaders can ensure equity and continuity as American populations shift.  Drawing on his extensive background in climate adaptation research, Keenan offers strategies for locations that will be sending people and those that will receive them. He concludes North with a fictional description of what America could look like near the end of this century, when many climate impacts are expected to mature.   In this episode, Ten Across founder Duke Reiter and author Jesse Keenan discuss implications for the Ten Across geography, which is among the most climate-vulnerable regions in the country.  Relevant Articles and Resources  North: The Future of Post-Climate America  “Zillow deletes climate risk data from listings after complaints it harms sales” (The Guardian, December 2025)  “America's Home Insurance Affordability Crunch: See What's Happening Near You.” (The New York Times, November 2025)  “As millions face climate relocation, the nation's first attempt sparks warnings and regret” (Floodlight, September 2025)  “Snow Belt to Sun Belt Migration: End of an Era?” (Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, July 2024)  “Climate-proof Duluth?

While most operators chase the Sunbelt states, one overlooked market type is making small- and mid-sized multifamily investors wealthier. It's got near-zero vacancy, with strong employment anchors, and durable cash flow thanks to consistent demand. They're not big cities; instead, they're what today's guest calls "micropolitan" areas—top multifamily markets even the most experienced investors overlook. While making just $35,000 per year, Cory Jacobson made the best move a small investor can make—he bought a house, rented out the rooms, and lived for free. On his second deal, he managed a light renovation, walking away with a six-figure profit—three times his salary. That was it. For Cory, it was time to go all in. Now, he's putting his money into medium-sized multifamily investments (5-30 units) in "untapped" micropolitan markets and sharing his lessons on the Wealth Juice podcast. We talk about the perfect partnerships that have helped him scale at light speed, the day the "worst thing that could have happened" came true, and the actual markets he's currently investing in.   Insights from today's episode: Why "micropolitan" multifamily markets beat top investing areas like the Sunbelt  The single-best first investment a real estate investor should make (even on low income) Real estate partnership splits and how to find a partner who offsets your weaknesses  Never sell?

What a finish! After 14 weeks of an incredible season, college football may have saved the best for last. In this episode, we walk back through the biggest storylines for all nine conference championship games in Week 15, starting with Indiana defying expectations and closing out a thin win over Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship. Not to be outdone, Georgia layed the smack down on Alabama, winning the SEC for the second straight year and potentially throwing the CFP bubble into a state of disarray. Does the Tide still deserve a playoff bid? Speaking of chaos, the unranked Duke Blue Devils upset Virginia to take the ACC, opening up the possibility that the conference will be left out entirely with two Group of Five teams sneaking in the side door. And finally, Texas Tech took care of business and beat BYU for the second time this season by a 20+ point margin.

John Chang interviews the commercial real estate market itself as he breaks down how healthcare hiring is propping up national job growth while most other sectors soften, and why that makes medical office one of the strongest asset classes going forward. He explains how an aging population and persistent healthcare labor shortages are driving durable demand, limited new supply, stable vacancies around 9%, and long-term leases with built-in rent bumps that support medical office performance. John then shifts to the multifamily outlook, highlighting Sun Belt oversupply and concessions versus tighter conditions in the Midwest and coastal markets, along with delayed household formation among young adults that is creating pent-up demand. He closes by outlining why institutional capital is ramping back into CRE—NACREIF total returns turning positive, higher fund-raising volumes, and rising target allocations—which should lead to more competition for deals and eventual cap rate compression in 2026, assuming policy and geopolitical risks stay contained Get 50% Off Monarch Money, the all-in-one financial tool at www.monarchmoney.com with code BESTEVER Start earning passive income today at gsprei.com/bestever Alternative Fund IV is closing soon and SMK is giving Best Ever listeners exclusive access to their Founders' Shares, typically offered only to early investors.

John Casmon interviews Dani Lynn Robison, co-founder of a vertically integrated “Freedom Family” of nine real estate businesses, about how she moved from Ohio turnkey rentals into larger multifamily and fund management. Dani walks through why she brought renovations, property management, acquisitions, brokerage, and capital raising in-house, and how that 56-unit “drugs, thugs and bugs” deal became a $2M proof-of-concept for scaling apartments. She shares her hard-won lessons on hiring “Ferrari-level” leaders, structuring roles with profit sharing, and keeping a 100% payout track record by always making investors whole—even on bad deals. Dani also explains why many turnkey buyers don't actually want to be landlords, how she now focuses on truly passive vehicles like funds and syndications, and where she's seeing opportunities in Sun Belt multifamily, senior housing, self-storage, and build-to-rent as bridge loans come due over the next few years.

John Chang breaks down the latest economic and market signals after a week of meetings in New York City. He explains how the temporary government funding deal both alleviates short-term pressures and extends broader uncertainty—impacting GDP, consumer spending, and investor sentiment. John also unpacks capital flows, interest-rate volatility tied to upcoming Federal Reserve changes, and why debt availability is improving even as risk factors persist. He contrasts Sun Belt oversupply with strong performance in low-construction markets, and ultimately argues that today's elevated cap rates and stable debt costs may represent a rare “sweet spot” for long-term investors.
