Multifamily loan delinquencies at U.S. banks have climbed nearly six-fold from their 2022 low, reaching the highest level since 2013. But this isn't 2008. Kathy Fettke breaks down what's driving the increase, why refinancing is creating problems for some apartment owners, and how rising distress could create new opportunities for real estate investors in 2026.  

In this episode, Michael Blank welcomes back Will Harvey, founder and managing partner of Harvey Capital, to explore his evolution from multifamily investor and mortgage professional into the private lending business. After leaving his W-2 job to pursue real estate full time, Will discovered that he enjoyed the finance side of investing far more than the operational side—and eventually built a private lending business focused on asset-backed loans. Will explains how the private lending model works, why he prefers lending against real estate rather than owning it, how he raises capital through a fund structure, and how he protects investor capital through conservative underwriting. The conversation also dives deep into how Will is using AI to transform everything from underwriting and Google Ads to lead generation and investor outreach, offering a fascinating look at how technology can dramatically increase the scale and efficiency of a real estate business.Key TakeawaysPrivate Lending Can Provide Real Estate Exposure Without Owning the PropertyWill explains why he prefers lending against real estate rather than dealing with tenants, contractors, renovations, and property operations—and how lenders can earn attractive interest while maintaining a secured position.Protecting Capital Starts With Conservative UnderwritingThe goal isn't to take back properties when borrowers default. It's to structure loans with enough margin of safety that the investment remains protected even when something goes wrong.Fund Structures Can Reduce Concentration RiskRather than putting all of an investor's money into a single loan, Will prefers a fund model that spreads capital across multiple loans and borrowers.AI Is Transforming Real Estate UnderwritingWill uses Claude Code to analyze borrowers, verify their track records, review financial statements, research potential red flags, and produce detailed underwriting briefs—allowing his team to process significantly more volume.AI Can Turn Marketing Data Into Actionable InsightsBy feeding Google Ads reports into Claude, Will can quickly identify which campaigns, keywords, locations, and time periods are performing best, dramatically accelerating a process that previously took weeks of manual analysis.AI Is Opening New Doors for Capital RaisingWill is using AI to identify potential investors through public property records, including people who own real estate through self-directed retirement accounts, creating targeted lists that would have previously required significant manConnect with Will HarveyWebsite: Harvey CapitalEmail: will@harvey-capital.comConnect with our Deal Maker PartnersCheck out all Partners hereAttorney - Swafford Law LLC Asset Manager - Cyndee Harding, High Caliber MultifamilyCPA - James Bohan, Stonehan AccountancyMentor - Deal Maker MentoringResourcesConnect with Michael BlankTheFreedomPodcast.com Join the Deal Maker MastermindExplore Michael's Mentoring ProgramReview the Podcast on Apple PodcastsGet the Syndicated Deal AnalyzerGet the Book, Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing by Michael Blank For full episode show notes visit: https://themichaelblank.com/podcasts/session538/

Commercial real estate is showing signs of strength in some surprising places, even as interest rates remain higher for longer. CBRE's Henry Chin joins Kathy Fettke to break down what he's seeing across the U.S. market and why he remains bullish on American real estate.   Henry shares his outlook for multifamily, office, industrial, retail, and data centers, including where oversupply could create opportunities for investors and why gateway markets like New York and San Francisco are seeing renewed momentum. He also explains how reshoring, AI, and manufacturing investment could reshape real estate demand — and why rental growth, rather than falling cap rates, may be the key to returns in the years ahead.   Learn more about RealWealth's Syndications at www.Realwealth.com/Syndications.   DISCLAIMER The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are provided for informational purposes only, and should not be construed as an offer to buy or sell any securities or to make or consider any investment or course of action.

Most entrepreneurs are told the same thing: Grow bigger. Scale faster. Buy more. But what if that's actually the wrong goal? In this conversation, Matt Faircloth shares one of the biggest lessons from decades in business and real estate: success isn't about having the most units, the biggest company, or the flashiest lifestyle. It's about building a business that matches the life you actually want. Too many entrepreneurs chase someone else's definition of success, only to discover they've built a business they no longer enjoy. In this clip, you'll learn: • Why bigger isn't always better • The hidden downside of endless scaling • How to define success on your own terms • Why focus beats chasing shiny objects • The importance of work-life balance in entrepreneurship • Building wealth without sacrificing your life Whether you're an entrepreneur, real estate investor, business owner, founder, or someone pursuing financial freedom, this message is a powerful reminder that your business should serve your life—not the other way around. Sometimes, doing fewer deals, saying "no" more often, and focusing on what you truly enjoy leads to greater long-term success than constantly chasing the next milestone. If this message resonated with you, like the video, subscribe, and share it with another entrepreneur who needs this reminder !!

In this episode of the Major League Real Estate Podcast, Nate Sosa and Thomas Castelli break down the most common structures used to bring 1031 exchange capital into syndications, including Tenants in Common (TIC) arrangements, Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs), and 721 Exchange/UPREIT structures.

Before you can invest in private real estate syndications — you need to know exactly what the SEC says makes you an accredited investor.   In this quick clip, Vinney Chopra breaks down the official SEC Regulation D accredited investor definition so you know exactly where you stand: ✅ $200,000 in personal income for the last 2 years (with the expectation of the same this year and forward) ✅ $300,000 combined household income with a spouse or significant other ✅ $1,000,000 net worth — NOT including your primary residence (equity in your home does NOT count)   And here's the critical piece most people miss: in a 506(c) offering (like Vinney's hotel syndications), you don't just check a box — you must provide verifiable legal documentation from your CPA or attorney, or through a third-party verification service like Parallel Markets.   Knowing this one definition could be the doorway to passive income, bonus depreciation, and 70% K-1 losses in 2026.   For educational purposes only. Not financial or legal advice. Consult your CPA and attorney.   ▶️ Watch the FULL Abundance Mindset episode here: https://youtu.be/Bk062H7POf4  

What if everything you were taught about building wealth was designed for someone else's benefit, not yours? High-income professionals, especially doctors, lawyers, and entrepreneurs, are earning hundreds of thousands of dollars a year and still ending up financially behind, buried in debt, crushed by taxes, and handing their futures over to Wall Street. In this episode of the Real Estate Investor Growth Network, Jen Josey sits down with Buck Joffrey, MD, a former cosmetic surgeon turned serial entrepreneur who has been involved in over $2 billion in real estate transactions, to expose exactly why the traditional financial playbook is quietly failing the highest earners in the room and what to do instead. Buck breaks down his mathematical wealth formula, a momentum-based framework built around mass, velocity, and leverage, that gives high-income professionals a repeatable system for building real, lasting passive income. He shares the pivotal moment that made him walk away from a prestigious surgical career at UCSF, why syndication investments unlock a world most people never even know exists, and how the short-term rental loophole gives busy professionals access to powerful depreciation benefits without requiring a real estate professional designation. He also gets candid about the operators who got crushed by rising interest rates and how to vet a deal and a sponsor without getting burned. This episode is essential listening for any high-income earner who feels like they are working harder than ever but not getting ahead financially. Whether you are a doctor, a business owner, or a seasoned investor looking to scale smarter, Buck's framework will shift how you think about money, passive income, and the power of investing like the ultra-wealthy. The window to position yourself in quality assets is open right now, and this conversation will show you exactly how to walk through it. 5 Powerful Takeaways The Mathematical Wealth Formula Revealed: Buck's three-variable framework of mass, velocity, and leverage gives high-income professionals a clear, repeatable system to multiply wealth without relying on luck or timing the market. Why Earning $500,000 a Year Can Still Leave You Broke: Between student loan debt, lifestyle inflation, and W2 tax exposure, high earners are often the most financially vulnerable, and Buck explains precisely why and how to fix it. The Short-Term Rental Loophole High-Income Earners Are Missing: Buck confirms that STR investing allows busy professionals to access real estate depreciation benefits typically reserved for full-time real estate professionals, creating a massive tax advantage hiding in plain sight. How to Vet a Syndication Sponsor Without Getting Burned: In a market where even respected operators have taken losses, Buck outlines the non-negotiable questions to ask about a deal's location, job growth, construction pipeline, and the operator's track record before writing a single check. Accredited Investor Access Changes Everything: Once you understand what becomes available at the accredited investor level, from private equity to pre-IPO opportunities to syndications, you realize the ultra-wealthy are not smarter, they simply play in a different game, and Buck shows you how to enter it. About the Guest Buck Joffrey, MD, is a former cosmetic and neurosurgeon who trained at the University of California, San Francisco, before making a bold pivot into entrepreneurship, real estate, and financial education. He has been involved in over $2 billion in real estate transactions and has spent more than a decade helping high-income professionals break free from the golden handcuffs of a high salary with nothing to show for it. Buck is the host of the Wealth Formula Podcast, one of the longest-running financial education shows for professionals, and the number one international bestselling author of 7 Secrets of Eternal Wealth. His unique superpower is reverse-engineering the strategies of the ultra-wealthy and translating them into a practical, math-backed framework that busy professionals can actually implement.

In this episode of the Major League Real Estate Podcast, Nate Sosa and Thomas Castelli break down what happens when experienced CPAs integrate directly with syndicators and fund managers. Topics Covered: - Common operating agreement tax mistakes - Entity structuring and partnership considerations - K-1 season expectations and extension strategies - 1031 exchanges, refinance considerations, and exit planning - How to choose the right CPA for your syndication business Most syndicators think their CPA's job starts and ends with filing partnership tax returns and sending out K-1s.

“What if the biggest untapped source of capital for real estate syndications is already sitting inside retirement accounts?” Discover how Carl Fischer and Matt Moore break down how they've helped over 1,500+ capital raisers unlock self-directed IRA and qualified retirement capital for alternative investments. They explain why many successful sponsors raise 50–60% of their capital from retirement accounts, how “sticky” IRA capital creates stronger long-term investor relationships, and why most investors still don't realize they can legally use IRAs, 401(k)s, HSAs, and other tax-advantaged accounts to invest in real estate syndications. The conversation dives deep into the misconceptions surrounding self-directed IRAs, the importance of simplifying investor education, and how sponsors can use webinars, Q&A sessions, CRM systems, and strategic communication to attract and retain retirement capital. Carl and Matt also share practical insights on investor psychology, market trends, due diligence, risk management, AI-driven research, and why consistent communication—not flashy returns—is what ultimately builds trust and keeps investors coming back. For sponsors, capital raisers, and investors looking to scale smarter in today's market, this episode delivers a tactical roadmap for leveraging one of the largest pools of capital in the world. 5 Key Takeaways on this episode:Retirement capital can become a major funding source Many successful sponsors raise 50–60% of their capital from self-directed retirement accounts. Most investors still don't know they can use IRAs for syndications Education and simple conversations can unlock entirely new capital sources. Communication and trust matter more than flashy returns Investors stay loyal to sponsors who consistently communicate and remain transparent during challenges. Sponsors don't need to become IRA experts Leveraging third-party administrators like CamaPlan simplifies the process and increases investor confidence. AI and due diligence groups are changing investor behavior Investors are becoming more sophisticated, collaborative, and research-driven in evaluating deals and operators. About Tim MaiTim Mai is a real estate investor, fund manager, mentor, and founder of HERO Mastermind for REI coaches.He has helped many real estate investors and coaches become millionaires.

Do you want the benefits of investing in real estate without the hassle of being a landlord? There's an investing strategy that could give you more passive income, access to much bigger deals, and diversification across multiple properties and markets: real estate syndications. Welcome back to the Real Estate Rookie podcast! Today, we're talking all about syndications—how they work, how they make you money, and what goes on behind the scenes. You'll learn about the two main roles in a syndication deal—general partners (GPs) and limited partners (LPs)—and their responsibilities. We'll also show you exactly what you need to get started, whether you're the one finding and managing the property or simply coming on board as a passive investor! How does investing in a syndication deal compare to owning rental properties? We cover the pros and cons of this strategy, the biggest red flags to watch for when vetting operators (or “sponsors”), and the investing risks you must weigh before committing to any syndication deal. In This Episode We Cover How to earn more passive income through a real estate syndication Two ways to become an “accredited investor” (and get access to more deals!) The three biggest red flags to watch out for when vetting a syndication deal The main responsibilities of a general partner (or “sponsor”) The biggest advantage rental properties have over most syndication deals Serious risks to be aware of before investing your money in a syndication And So Much More!

Apartment demand cooled across much of the U.S. in the fourth quarter of 2025, marking a return to more typical seasonal patterns after several years of unusually strong growth. But the slowdown wasn't universal. In this episode, Kathy Fettke breaks down which U.S. apartment markets continued to see positive demand in Q4 and why those metros stood out as others experienced net move-outs. We look at absorption trends in major markets like New York, Phoenix, Fort Worth, and Newark, and what tight occupancy levels in select regions may signal for multifamily investors heading into 2026. You'll learn how shifting demand patterns reflect a broader normalization in the apartment market—and why local fundamentals matter more than ever for investors evaluating multifamily opportunities in today's changing real estate environment.

In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, Kathy Fettke breaks down the proposed "Trump Homes" concept that's gaining attention across the housing industry. The idea centers on a new pathway-to-ownership model designed to help first-time buyers afford homes—without driving down existing home prices. We explore how the proposal could work, why major homebuilders and investors are paying attention, and how this approach differs from traditional affordability solutions like rate cuts, subsidies, or price corrections. We'll also look at the potential risks, unanswered questions, and what this could mean for housing supply, renters, and long-term market stability. If you're watching housing affordability, policy trends, or the future of homeownership, this is a story worth understanding.

Matt interviews Tim Bratz, breaking down why Tim has challenged “traditional” syndication norms—especially fee-heavy structures and LP/GP splits that can leave operators with too little skin in the game. Tim shares how his equity/preferred return approach evolved from his single-family/private money background, and how tighter cash flow post-pandemic has pushed him toward more creative capital stacks (assumable debt, seller carry, accrued pref, and depreciation levers). He also digs into why third-party property management misaligns incentives, why in-house management is a key common denominator among operators who aren't struggling right now, and how he's building an AI-powered, all-in-one property management platform to unify ops + accounting + payments + reporting.

In this episode of The Real Wealth Show, Kathy Fettke is joined by Xander Snyder, Senior Commercial Real Estate Economist at First American, to break down where we are in the commercial real estate cycle and what it means for investors. Xander explains why prices have stabilized, why transaction volume is slowly returning, and why he believes we're at the beginning of the next commercial real estate cycle. They discuss multifamily oversupply in key Sunbelt markets, vacancy and rent trends across Class A, B, and C properties, and why some regions may recover faster than others. The conversation also covers refinancing risk as billions in commercial loans reset, rising insurance costs, and why disciplined underwriting and strong operations matter more than ever in this cycle.
