In this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan welcomes Axel Ragnarsson, Founder and Managing Partner of Aligned Real Estate Partners. Axel began his entrepreneurial journey by flipping cars in college, which eventually led him to real estate. Over the years, he built a personal portfolio of multifamily properties before expanding into syndication and capital raising. His focus is on acquiring Class B and C value-add multifamily properties, primarily in New Hampshire, with an emphasis on building lasting relationships and structuring deals that align incentives between operators and investors. Jonathan and Axel discuss the differences between transactional and relationship-driven investing, the challenges of scaling from small multifamily projects to larger ones, and why patience and consistency matter more than chasing exponential growth. Axel also explains how direct-to-seller strategies in multifamily differ from single-family approaches, how sellers often value ease and trust as much as price, and why creative deal structures can open doors that brokered deals never could. Their conversation underscores the importance of transparency, credibility, and long-term thinking in both acquisitions and raising capital from investors. If you're interested in understanding how to grow a multifamily portfolio the right way —through relationships, alignment, and steady growth —this episode provides a roadmap for approaching real estate with integrity and strategy. In this episode, you will hear: Axel Ragnarsson's progression from flipping cars to building an 80–90 unit multifamily portfolio Why he shifted from small self-owned deals to capital raising and syndications The mindset shift required for effective direct-to-seller outreach How relationship-building trumps transactional deal-making in multifamily investing The role of patience in scaling sustainably instead of chasing door counts Ways creative deal structures help unlock financing and opportunity Why aligned incentives between investors and operators are critical for long-term success Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Clark County Today Editor Ken Vance argues that Washington leaders should stop filtering transportation solutions through the approval of Oregon officials, pointing to the long history of rejected ideas for new Columbia River crossings. Highlighting advisory votes supporting an East County Bridge and Chuck Green's research showing decades of stalled proposals, Vance calls for Washington lawmakers to play hardball with Oregon counterparts to meet the region's growing needs. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-ideas-for-future-solutions-should-not-be-vetted-through-the-lens-of-what-oregon-leaders-will-or-will-not-approve/ #Opinion #KenVance #ClarkCounty #EastCountyBridge #ColumbiaRiver #Transportation #OregonLeaders #ChuckGreen #JohnLey #TriMet

In Part 2 of this episode of the HVAC Know It All Podcast, host Gary McCreadie talks with Nick F. (Nick Fergis), co-founder and CEO of Property.com, a site that connects homeowners with top-rated contractors. They go over the free and paid membership tiers for contractors, tools like Max Closer and Max Qualifier, and how Property.com helps build trust and drive quality leads. Nick shares why he started the platform, how it supports real estate agents too, and why only the best contractors are allowed in, no room for poor service or shady lead generation. Nick Fergis talks about why Property.com only lists top-rated, vetted contractors to help homeowners avoid poor service. He explains their free and paid plans, where tools like Max Closer and Max Qualifier help contractors get leads and show their work. Nick also shares how real estate agents will soon use the platform to share trusted pros with new homeowners. Gary talks about how many lead services today feel random and low-quality. They agree that trust, clear info, and proven work matter most when choosing the right people for the job. Nick explains that Property.com helps homeowners find top local pros by listing only trusted and vetted contractors. He says the free plan gives you a site and certificate, but paid plans add tools like Max Closer to help close jobs and Max Qualifier to find better leads. Gary says the site feels like a real estate page, but for contractors, all in one spot. They both agree that many lead services are spammy, send bad leads, or don't know the trades. Property.com is built to fix that with tools and trust that help both sides. Expect to Learn: Why Property.com only lists top-rated, vetted contractors. How free and paid plans help pros get leads and build trust. What tools like Max Closer and Max Qualifier do for you. Why real estate agents will share their Rolodex with new owners.

Did a DUI & Combat Trauma Lead to Music That Heals?

In this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan welcomes Mark Khuri, co-founder of SMK Capital Management, for a focused conversation on passive investing, diversification, and risk reduction through strategic fund structures. With over 20 years of experience, Mark has developed a methodical approach to building real estate portfolios that emphasizes steady returns, low volatility, and long-term growth. Mark shares how he began his career working on residential value-add deals, managing flips and rentals alongside family. As he gained experience, he realized that owning and managing properties directly wasn't sustainable at scale. That realization led to the creation of SMK Capital, which now specializes in private real estate funds that span multiple asset types, operators, and geographic markets. Jonathan and Mark examine how this model enables investors to spread risk across a range of properties, including mobile home parks, triple-net lease retail, and industrial, and discuss why diversification can lead to more stable returns over time. They also touch on the benefits of private lending and fixed-income strategies, which help generate early-stage cash flow while larger value-add projects are being stabilized. A key part of SMK's success hinges on operator selection. Mark outlines the firm's criteria for choosing partners, from their communication style to track record and approach to capital management. He emphasizes the need for transparency and alignment, noting that clear expectations and regular updates are essential to building trust with investors. Jonathan shares his insights on what passive investors should consider when evaluating both funds and single-asset syndications. The discussion provides a clear framework for those seeking more consistency in their returns and less exposure to operational risk. You'll come away with a better understanding of how fund structures work, how to evaluate sponsors and investment opportunities, and how smaller, under-the-radar assets can complement more traditional real estate investments. For anyone looking to build wealth through passive real estate, this episode is a practical guide to lowering risk and thinking more holistically about long-term investing. In this episode, you will hear: Building wealth through diversification across assets, locations, and timelines Shifting from residential investing to private commercial funds Why funds can outperform single-asset syndications in volatile markets Using private debt and fixed-income strategies to generate early cash flow Real-world examples of risk mitigation across asset classes Evaluating operators and building trust through consistent communication How fund structures support passive investors with long-term goals Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Understand the VEX Scale: Classify prospects as Vetted (using a competitor), Educated (familiar but undecided), Cold (new to the space), or Self-Service. Tailor your approach accordingly. Ask About Their Journey: Send an email upfront asking where they are in their learning process. This helps you position the conversation at the right level. Skip Basic Discovery for Vetted Prospects: If they already use a competitor, focus on their current solution's gaps and ideal outcomes instead of re-explaining the category. Avoid Restarting Discovery: When new stakeholders join later calls, recap prior findings first, then ask how those problems impact their specific role.
