Host Shelon “Hutch the Marine Investor” Hutchinson interviews Marine veteran and real estate investor Keith Gillispie about building a business that can run without the owner. Gillispie shares his mantra “keep the most important thing the most important thing,” rejects the idea of static work-life balance, and explains how he used a one-hour lunch break in Hawaii—hotspot, headphones, 50–55 minutes of seller calls, protein-shake lunch—to lock up 10 contracts in six months, leading to REI Automated and SOP-driven delegation with virtual assistants worldwide. He discusses virtual investing across 34 states, what should and shouldn’t be automated, and how to choose creative-finance tools by evaluating seller needs, business needs, personal needs, market cycle, and highest-and-best use. He outlines an education-first private-capital process learned from a $1.135M Diamond Head deal, using third-party validation and a one-sheet/Google Drive package. Gillispie cites Ray Dalio’s Principles and Gino Wickman’s Traction (EOS) as pivotal, recommends daily walks, regrets not holding assets earlier, and defines success as meaningful impact and leading people to God, sharing contact info and REI Automated details.

In this part of the podcast, Hutch and Keith explore a business lesson that completely changed the way Keith viewed money, opportunity, and negotiation.
Most people assume capital is the most valuable piece of any transaction. But what happens when the opportunity itself is far more difficult to find? 💰🏠
Through a simple example about scarcity, Keith explains why value can shift depending on what is available, what is needed, and who recognizes the opportunity first.
This mindset can influence how investors approach negotiations, partnerships, and the deals placed in front of them. Sometimes, the greatest leverage is not having the money. It is understanding what everyone else is searching for. 🎯
Watch the clip to hear the business version of the golden rule and the lesson that changed Keith’s perspective.

In this part of the conversation, Keith breaks down the decision-making framework he uses before choosing what to do with a property.
A deal is not decided by one number alone. The seller’s situation, the needs of the business, personal priorities, market conditions, and the property’s potential all influence the final decision. 🏠📊
The key is knowing how those factors work together.
Sometimes the right move is to sell. Sometimes it is to hold. Other times, the opportunity may be hidden in how the property can be improved or repositioned.
Strong investors do not force every property into the same strategy. They study the full picture, identify the available levers, and make the decision that fits the moment. 🎯
Watch the clip to hear the five-part combination Keith uses to evaluate and unlock a deal.

In this part of the podcast, Hutch and Keith unpack what it really looks like to pursue a new future while serving on active duty, traveling overseas, and trying to remain present for your family.
There was no perfect schedule. Mornings were already spoken for. Evenings came too late. Sleep was disappearing, and the pressure was becoming unsustainable. 🌍💭
The turning point came when Keith stopped searching for more time and started protecting the small window he still had.
What followed was not glamorous. It required sacrifice, consistency, and a reason strong enough to keep going when the schedule said it was impossible. 🎯
Sometimes progress does not come from having more hours. It comes from becoming more intentional with the hours already available.
How much could change if you protected one focused hour every day?

In the Focus Round, Hutch puts Keith Gillespie on the spot with a series of questions about business, leadership, communication, investing, and life.
Keith shares how he resets before carrying the weight of leadership, the lessons that helped him stop operating without direction, and the real estate decision he wishes he had made much earlier. 📚🏠
But the conversation goes deeper when Hutch asks what success truly looks like.
Is it freedom, financial growth, more ownership, or the impact you leave on the people around you? Keith’s answer reveals what matters to him after years of building businesses, leading others, and raising a family. 🙏🏽💭
Watch the Focus Round and ask yourself: What would success look like if your life had to mean something beyond you?

Host Shelon “Hutch” Hutchinson interviews real estate veteran and coach Kevin Yoder about why high achievers plateau despite knowing the right strategies, arguing the real limiter is identity/self-image rather than market, tactics, or competition. Yoder emphasizes self-regulation and the idea that “the size of the problem determines the size of the person,” explaining self-image as a thermostat set point that demands consistency in income, confidence, and performance. He defines paradigms as the lens shaping perception and decision-making, often driven by fear or scarcity, and introduces TFAR (thoughts, feelings, actions, results) and the importance of worthy goals to create alignment and consistent results. They discuss how self-image shows up in sales, negotiation, and leadership through conviction, eye contact, tonality, and silence, and Yoder shares his training hobbies and directs listeners to yournextimage.com and @infiniteyoubykevin.

In this conversation, Kevin Yoder joins Hutch to unpack a lesson he first learned from Bob Proctor: “Sales is a transference of energy.” ⚡
Kevin explains that effective communication is not only about scripts, tactics, or overcoming objections. It begins with the belief you have in yourself and the value of what you are presenting. 🧠
Whether you are sharing an idea, leading a team, building a business, or discussing a real estate opportunity, people can often sense the conviction behind your words.
A strong self-image creates a different kind of presence. It helps you communicate with clarity, build genuine trust, and connect without forcing the conversation. 🤝
Before people believe in the message, they often feel the energy of the person delivering it.

In this episode, Kevin Yoder sits down with Hutch to unpack the idea of a financial thermostat—the internal setting that can quietly influence how much success we believe we can sustain. 🌡️
Kevin explains that this setting is often shaped early through family conversations, childhood experiences, and the beliefs we absorb about money, success, and possibility.
That is why better tools, stronger opportunities, or a new environment do not always create different results. The opportunity may change, but the self-image behind the decision-making can remain the same. 🧠
According to Kevin, we consistently show up in a way that matches the person we believe ourselves to be. Willpower may create temporary movement, but lasting growth requires raising the internal standard that guides our actions.
Whether in leadership, business, or real estate, the next level may require more than a better strategy. It may require becoming comfortable with a bigger vision of who you can be. 📈

In this part of the episode, Kevin Yoder explains why consistency comes from alignment—not willpower. 🧠
He breaks alignment down through the TFAR framework: thoughts, feelings, actions, and results. When these four areas are moving in the same direction, consistent action becomes more natural.
But that alignment needs a meaningful destination. Without a clearly defined goal—something worth growing toward—it becomes easy to stay busy with tasks that do not create real progress. 📈
This applies to leadership, entrepreneurship, and real estate. Discipline matters, but lasting consistency begins when your daily decisions support the bigger vision you have chosen.
A worthy goal does more than give you something to achieve. It gives your effort direction and keeps trivial distractions from becoming the priority. 🧭

In this part of the episode, Kevin Yoder shares the lesson he wishes he had learned earlier: fear of rejection is often a false barrier that keeps people from taking necessary action. 🧠
Early in his real estate career, hesitation kept him from making calls, pursuing opportunities, and doing the uncomfortable work required to grow. Over time, he learned that waiting until he felt confident or motivated only delayed progress.
The shift came when he stopped allowing temporary feelings to determine whether the work got done. 💪
Whether you are leading a team, building a business, or investing in real estate, growth will place you in situations where rejection and discomfort are possible. Kevin’s approach is simple: acknowledge the fear, move through it, and do the thing anyway. 🚀
The action you are avoiding may be standing between you and your next breakthrough.

In this episode, Kevin Yoder shares why self-regulation may be one of the most important skills an entrepreneur can develop.
Entrepreneurship brings problems every day. The difference is not whether challenges appear, but how well you manage your emotions, protect your focus, and keep moving forward when they do. 💪
Kevin explains that the problems that keep us down can reveal our current limitations, while the problems we learn to solve can expand our leadership and impact.
That lesson applies to business, real estate, and life. Bigger opportunities often come with greater pressure, more responsibility, and harder decisions. 🏢
Growth requires more than ambition. It requires the discipline to stay grounded while solving problems that matter.

Host Shalon “Hutch” Hutchinson interviews Will Harvey about disciplined capital allocation in real estate and why “you make money when you buy, not when you sell,” emphasizing margin of safety, patience, and avoiding big losers through conservative underwriting and clear exit strategies. Will shares his path from the mortgage business (starting in 2015) to rentals, passive multifamily syndication investing for bonus depreciation benefits, house flipping, and ultimately focusing on the finance side through hard money lending after a low-risk first-lien loan opportunity. He explains hard money basics (1–5 points upfront and ~11–13% interest), the importance of recycling capital, and outlines a forthcoming tiered 506(c) fund targeting ~8.5%–10% returns structured as notes with 1099s instead of K-1s. They discuss accredited investor criteria, DSCR loans for BRRRR exits, self-directed IRAs, and diversification misconceptions.

In this part of the conversation, Hutch shares a personal lesson from selling a property during a difficult market cycle.
What looked like a painful real estate experience at the time ended up teaching him something bigger: real estate has always played an important role in how families, investors, and even the government think about long-term stability. 🏡
Hutch talks about navigating the cost of selling, using savings, capital from the stock market, and support programs available during that season to get through the situation.
The lesson was not just about one house.
It was about understanding that real estate is connected to policy, taxes, incentives, mobility, family decisions, and long-term wealth planning. That realization helped Hutch pay closer attention to how real estate could fit into the bigger picture of an investment portfolio. 🧠
Will agrees and points to the tax advantages and incentives that often exist around real estate investing.
For veterans, small business owners, and investors, this is a reminder that hard lessons can become turning points when you slow down and study what the experience is teaching you.
Sometimes the deal that hurts your pocket can sharpen your perspective. 🎯

In this part of the conversation, Will Harvey III breaks down one of the biggest mistakes he sees newer borrowers and investors make: they do not think clearly enough about their exit strategy.
A lot of people focus on the upside. They think about the profit, the best-case scenario, and how well the deal could go. But Will reminds us that disciplined investors need to spend more time studying the downside. 📉
Because the upside can take care of itself when you buy right, execute well, and stay disciplined.
The real danger is putting yourself in a position where one mistake can damage the whole deal.
Will connects this to a lesson from football: before you can win, you have to learn how not to lose. That means avoiding the mental errors, preparing properly, understanding the numbers, and making sure your analysis is solid before you move. 🏈
Whether it is a flip, rental, multifamily property, or commercial deal, the principle stays the same:
Do the work on the front end.
Know your exit.
Protect the downside.
Do not make yourself lose. 🎯

In this part of the conversation, Will Harvey III shares a lesson that came from experience: sometimes the mistake is not a bad deal — it is talking yourself into an okay deal because nothing else is happening.
He breaks down the idea of waiting for the “fat pitch,” a lesson often connected to Warren Buffett’s investing mindset. In baseball, you eventually have to swing. But in investing, you do not have to move just because opportunities are passing by. ⚾
You can let deal after deal go by until the right one shows up.
That takes patience. It also takes discipline.
Hutch and Will connect this back to capital allocation and investor mindset. Not every deal is supposed to be a home run, and not every opportunity deserves your attention. Sometimes the strongest move is to wait, stay clear, and avoid forcing a decision just because you feel like you should be doing something. 🧠
Disciplined investors do not chase every pitch. They wait for alignment, protect the downside, and move when the opportunity actually makes sense. 🎯

In this section of the podcast, Hutch brings Will Harvey III into the focus round — a faster, more personal part of the conversation where the answers go beyond just real estate.
Will talks about family, faith, sobriety, storytelling, diversification, and what success looks like today.
One of the biggest takeaways is that success is not only about analyzing deals or finding the next opportunity. It is also about being present with your family, knowing what matters, and using your skills with purpose. 👨👩👧👦
The conversation also touches on how investors think about diversification. Will challenges the idea that being spread across things you do not understand is always smart. Sometimes discipline means being patient, doing the research, and waiting for the right opportunity instead of chasing every option in front of you.
For Hutch, that connects back to a bigger principle: opportunities are always around, but not all of them deserve your attention or your capital.
Clarity helps you align your money, your time, and your decisions with the life you are actually trying to build. 🧠🏢

“You make money when you buy, not when you sell.” 💰
In this episode, Hutch asks Will Harvey III about the quote or mantra that guides the way he makes decisions in real estate.
Will’s answer points to one of the most important lessons in investing: the price you pay matters.
When you buy with discipline, you create a margin of safety. That margin can help protect you when the market shifts, repair costs run higher than expected, contractors miss the mark, or the deal does not go exactly according to plan. 🧠
Will shares that even during his house-flipping days, the main focus was buying right. They made mistakes in other areas, but because they stayed disciplined on the purchase, they were able to protect the deal.
That is a leadership lesson too. You do not win by chasing every opportunity. You win by making clear decisions before pressure shows up.
Disciplined investors protect the downside first, then let the upside take care of itself. 🎯

Host Shalon “Hutch” Hutchinson interviews Ryan, former commercial pilot and now CIO at Spartan Investment Group, on how elite investors think about risk using aviation principles like checklists and the ability to “set the parking brake” and walk away. Ryan describes transitioning from airline flying and single-family rentals to building a self-storage platform with about $1B in acquisitions and becoming the 29th largest operator, driven by better “ROI on life” and a desire to help high-income professionals invest passively. They discuss Spartan’s 700-item due diligence checklist, key passive-investor risks (especially supply/demand and debt), why projected high returns can underperform, and a diversification framework (10/30/30/30). Ryan explains managing downturns by renegotiating expenses, adding revenue streams, and using local “marketing energy,” plus technology and AI for extended hours, investor reporting, and AI call handling.

A lot of people hear the word passive and think it means hands-off.
But Ryan Gibson challenges that idea in this conversation. 🧠
In this episode Hutch and Ryan talk about the difference between owning real estate and truly investing passively.
Ryan explains that even assets people often call “hands-off” can still require decisions, calls, capital, and mental energy.
You may still have to manage the property manager.
You may still have to make tough decisions.
You may still have to step away from family time to handle the next issue. 📞
And at that point, the question becomes:
Is this really passive, or did you just create another active responsibility?
Hutch connects this back to something many investors eventually learn — it is not just about what an asset produces.
It is also about what it requires from your life. ⏳
Time, energy, attention, risk, and family bandwidth all matter.
This part of the conversation is a reminder to look beyond the surface and ask better questions before choosing an investment path.
Because ownership should be intentional.
And your strategy should support the life you are trying to build — not quietly pull you away from it. 🏢💭

One of the biggest lessons from this part of the conversation is simple:
Not every “fixed” expense is truly fixed. 💭
In this episode Hutch and Ryan Gibson talk about the importance of looking deeper into the operating side of a business or real estate asset.
Ryan explains that customers may never notice certain backend changes — like renegotiating vendor contracts, changing utility payment systems, adjusting treasury platforms, or finding savings inside the profit and loss statement. 🧾
But those small operational decisions can still matter.
The key is not to cut corners.
It is to communicate professionally, work openly with vendors, and ask better questions. 🤝
Can this contract be reviewed?
Can this expense be renegotiated?
Can this process be improved without affecting the customer experience?
That is where leadership shows up. Not always in the big flashy moves, but in the disciplined review of what most people ignore. 🔍
Ryan’s point is a strong reminder for operators, business owners, and investors:
There may be room to improve performance without making the customer feel the difference.
Sometimes the opportunity is not in doing more.
Sometimes it is in managing better. 🏢

Real estate can create income while you are awake, asleep, present, or somewhere else entirely. 🏡💭
That idea is what first attracted Ryan Gibson to real estate.
In this episode Ryan shares how he started by doing what many people believe they are “supposed” to do — buying single-family homes.
And the deals were working.
They produced income.
They added real estate exposure.
But over time, Ryan realized something important:
The return on his life was not where it needed to be. ⏳
Between chasing property managers, finding new properties, and managing the moving pieces, the time commitment started to outweigh the benefit — especially as a high-income professional still actively flying.
That realization shaped a bigger mission. ✈️
Ryan saw that many pilots and high-income professionals wanted real estate in their portfolio, but did not want the workload that often came with owning properties directly.
So he became passionate about helping investors access real estate more passively, supported by due diligence and execution. 🧠
This conversation is a reminder that the goal is not just to make money.
It is to build a life where your investments serve your time, your family, and your future — not the other way around. 🌱

Adrenaline may get your attention…
…but discipline, people, and communication shape the direction you actually go. ✈️💭
In this episode Hutch continues the conversation with Ryan Gibson about life after the airlines, the people who influence your growth, and the risks investors should understand more clearly.
Ryan shares how backcountry flying gives him a new kind of excitement — landing on dirt strips, mountain strips, and places most people cannot drive to. But the deeper lesson comes when he talks about trajectory. 🚀
It is not always one big opportunity that changes everything.
Sometimes it is self-reflection.
Sometimes it is being around people who encourage you.
Sometimes it is learning how you are showing up before blaming others for doubting you. 🪞
Ryan also brings that same level of honesty into investing. He explains why communication, transparency, and availability matter when people are trusting you with their capital.
And when it comes to risk in real estate, his answer is clear:
Debt is often misunderstood. 🏢
Loan terms, covenants, interest rates, and lender control can all shape the risk inside a deal.
This conversation is a reminder that strong leadership is not just about chasing excitement. It is about staying grounded, communicating clearly, and understanding the responsibilities that come with every decision.

You don’t have to take off if something doesn’t feel right. ✈️
In this episode Hutch sits down with Ryan Gibson to talk about a lesson from aviation that still shapes how Ryan makes business and investment decisions today.
As a pilot, Ryan learned that the responsibility ultimately falls on the person in command. Before accepting an aircraft or taking passengers into the sky, he had to be fully comfortable with the condition, the process, and the decision.
That same mindset applies to leadership, business, and investing. 💭
Sometimes discipline means moving forward.
Other times, discipline means setting the parking brake, asking better questions, and choosing not to do the deal. 🛑
Ryan’s reminder is simple but powerful:
There will always be another flight. There may also be another opportunity. But protecting trust, safety, and long-term judgment must come first.
That is a mindset every investor, leader, and decision-maker can learn from. 🧭

In a lightning-round “focus run,” an attorney who works on real estate syndications and capital markets shares that his idea of fun is investing and sourcing deals and sponsors. He describes the biggest inflection point in his career as leaving a large law firm representing institutional clients and high-profile individuals to join a boutique firm to deliver more value and build an ecosystem around private equity, offering clients similar service without paying 70–80% more. He says the best sponsors are transparent with investors, especially about experience level, and warns against “fake it till you make it” given securities law and the SEC. He notes securities law is straightforward if you follow the rules, and defines success as helping clients achieve their business goals, emphasizing structure, governance, and trust in real estate transactions.

In this episode, Shams breaks down a shift many operators aren’t prepared for. Raising from family offices is not the same as raising from retail investors.
With larger capital comes higher expectations. More structure. More accountability. And more detailed conversations around how the deal is actually built.
While most investors focus on returns, the experienced ones pay attention to what’s behind the scenes. Governance, alignment, and decision-making structures that shape the outcome over time.
This is where many deals are quietly won or lost.
If you’re looking to grow and work with more sophisticated capital, this is a part of the conversation you want to pay attention to.

In this episode, Shams touches on something a lot of operators avoid talking about. There’s no “fake it till you make it” in this business.
When you’re dealing with investors and securities law, clarity and honesty are not optional. They’re required.
Being upfront about your experience, your structure, and your process builds real credibility. Trying to shortcut that usually creates bigger problems later.
He also breaks it down simply. The rules are not as complicated as people think. But once you ignore them, that’s when things fall apart.
This is one of those parts of the conversation you don’t want to miss if you’re serious about doing this the right way.

In this episode, Shams breaks down a mistake many operators make. Overcomplicating the deal structure.
The reality is simple. If investors can’t understand it, they won’t invest.
Even institutional players, with all their experience, still aim to keep things clear and structured. Yes, they add layers when needed, but not at the expense of understanding.
Simplicity builds confidence. Clarity builds trust.
If you can’t explain your deal in a way that makes sense, it’s probably too complicated.

In this focus round, Shams keeps it real. There’s no separation between work and fun when you actually enjoy the game. For him, investing is the downtime.
He also shares a major career shift. Leaving a big law firm to build something more intentional. More value. More alignment. It wasn’t easy, but it changed everything.
On the operator side, one thing stands out. Transparency wins. No shortcuts. No “fake it till you make it.” Just clear communication, especially when it’s uncomfortable.
And when it comes to success, it’s simple. If the people you serve are winning, you’re winning too.
📌 Real estate is not just deals. It’s structure, trust, and how you show up.

In this episode, Shams shares a simple but disciplined approach to investing. Don’t follow the crowd. Understand it.
It’s easy to get pulled into what everyone else is doing, especially when the market feels loud or uncertain. But strong investors take a step back and think before they act.
When others are selling, take a closer look. When everyone’s buying, slow down and ask better questions. That’s where awareness turns into opportunity.
Real estate rewards clarity, discipline, and perspective over time.
💬 “When everyone is selling, that’s when you should be buying, and when everyone is buying, that’s when you should be selling.” — Shams

Host Hutch interviews land developer Brandon Cobb about how sophisticated investors find and evaluate land worth developing. Cobb shares a guiding quote about stress and explains how fatherhood forced him to be present rather than resist life’s events. He recounts being fired from medical device sales, which pushed him into entrepreneurship and real estate, progressing from flips to new construction, then to large-scale land development and entitlements. Cobb outlines his process: start with the end buyer (national homebuilders), reverse-engineer where they build using neighborhood maps and GIS “puzzle pieces,” prioritize density and sewer access, then put land under contract, create a civil-engineer concept plan, confirm city support, and secure a buyer contract with a deposit before pursuing approvals. He describes losing over $1M by buying land before approvals and succeeding by pre-selling a community, and discusses capital needs, communication (“clarify and verify”), and his definition of success across body, being, balance, and business, plus ways to connect via learnlanddevelopment.com and hbgcapital.net.

In this episode, we get into how Brandon Cobb approaches land and development from a different angle.
It starts with understanding this.
Not all land is equal. What matters is what it can become and who actually wants it.
The focus is not just on the deal. It is on the end user.
Brandon breaks down how he identifies who the buyers are first, then works backwards from there. In his case, it is national home builders and what they consistently need.
From there, it becomes a process of aligning the land with the highest and best use that makes sense for that buyer and that market.
That shift changes everything.
Instead of guessing
You are solving for demand
There is a leadership lesson in that.
Clarity comes from knowing who you are serving and building with that in mind.

In this episode, we walk through how Brandon Cobb got started and how his thinking evolved over time.
His first deal, he went all in. Liquidated retirement accounts, took the risk, and made it work. Not recommending that path, but it shows the level of commitment early on.
From there, he reinvested everything back into the business and built momentum through volume.
But the real shift came later.
He realized building created more value than flipping.
Then he realized building bigger created even more opportunity than staying small.
That’s the progression.
Not just doing more
But thinking bigger
Each step required a different level of awareness and a willingness to change the approach.
There’s a lesson in that.
Growth isn’t just about effort, it’s about recognizing when it’s time to level up how you think and operate.

In this episode, we unpack a pivotal moment with Brandon Cobb that changed the direction of his life.
He shares how he finally broke into medical device sales, landed his dream role, and was performing at a high level.
Then one day, it was over.
No warning, just a conversation that forced a hard reset.
The immediate question was, what did I do wrong?
But the real takeaway was deeper.
No one is responsible for your financial future but you.
No matter how loyal you are or how well you perform, a company will always do what’s best for the company.
That moment created a shift.
From depending on a job
To taking ownership
That’s where the entrepreneurial journey began.
And for us, it’s a reminder.
At some point, we all have to decide who’s in control of where we’re going.

We got into a focused round with Brandon Cobb, and it opened up a bigger conversation around how we approach business and life.
From health and longevity to building trust and communication, a few key principles stood out.
One of the biggest shifts is this.
Business isn’t just about doing more good deals.
It’s about making fewer bad ones.
That takes discipline and awareness.
And when it comes to working with people, whether it’s your team, investors, or even family, communication matters more than most think.
Clarify what you’re saying.
Verify it was actually understood.
Because missed communication leads to missed outcomes.
And at the end of the day, success isn’t just about money. It’s about who you are, how you take care of yourself, and how you show up across the board.
That’s the real standard.

In this episode, we sit down with Brandon Cobb and get into a conversation that hits beyond business, how we handle stress and show up in our daily lives.
Brandon shares a shift he experienced after becoming a father. For a long time, the mindset was simple, get everything done, then relax. But as life got fuller, that approach stopped working.
What we unpack is this, stress isn’t just about having too much to do. It often comes from resisting what life is asking of us in the moment.
Trying to control everything.
Trying to keep things perfect.
Trying to earn rest instead of being present.
The shift isn’t about doing less, it’s about learning how to be present while doing what’s already in front of us.
There’s a real leadership lesson in that, for how we lead at home, in business, and in everyday life.

Experience shortens the learning curve. 📈🧠
In this episode, Tyler explains how talking to operators, reviewing dozens of deals, and asking better questions helps investors develop real judgment. Alignment of interest isn’t a buzzword — it’s found in the details: fees, waterfalls, profit splits, and who actually gets paid only if the deal performs.
Over time, patterns become clear, and disciplined investors learn to recognize when incentives reward stewardship instead of speed. The goal isn’t perfection — it’s understanding who truly wins with you. 🤝

Most people are taught to wait. Tyler chose to redesign. 💡
In this clip, Tyler walks through the mindset shift that changed everything — moving from saving for a distant future to acquiring cash-flowing assets that support life now.
That shift opened the door to freedom, career flexibility, and clearer decision-making. From small residential properties to passive investing and eventually stepping into syndications, his journey reflects steady progression, not shortcuts.
Joining Asym Capital turned that vision into a professional path, grounded in learning, patience, and long-term ownership. 🧠🏢

Good deals don’t fail first — bad execution does. 🧠📉
In this conversation, Tyler explains that real underwriting goes far beyond the numbers. You’re underwriting people, decision-making, resilience, and operational discipline. What separates institutional-grade operators isn’t whether they’re vertically integrated or use third-party management — it’s the intensity of asset management.
Systems, KPIs, and accountability are what protect capital and drive performance. At the end of the day, stewardship matters more than structure. 💪🏽

Quick answers. Real insight. ⚡️
In this focus round, Tyler touches on the habits and decisions that shaped his path — staying active, recognizing the power of the right opportunity, learning to communicate, and realizing early on that real estate is a team sport. He credits persistence and work ethic learned from his dad as the foundation behind every move.
The takeaway is simple: success isn’t one big moment, it’s the accumulation of discipline, relationships, and consistent effort over time. 🧠💪

Everyone wants the results. Very few commit to the reps. 🔁
In this clip, Tyler shares a quote from Tony Robbins that’s shaped how he approaches leadership and investing: what you practice in private is what shows up in public. He explains how real progress comes from repetition — underwriting deal after deal, learning the fundamentals, and doing the simple work consistently. Multifamily may be straightforward, but mastery is earned through discipline, not shortcuts. 🧠💪

In this episode, Big Mike talks about why so many investors are shifting toward predictability and safety in the current market. After recent volatility, many people are prioritizing stable income and longer-duration leases over strategies that rely on perfect timing or fast recovery. 🧠
Big Mike explains that oversupply in several Sunbelt markets has made parts of multifamily less predictable in the short term. While there can still be opportunity if absorption improves and rents start climbing again, the timeline is uncertain. In contrast, strategies like private credit, industrial, and open-air retail offer longer leases, stronger tenant credit, and built-in rent escalations that create more consistent income.
The key takeaway is understanding what you’re optimizing for. Multifamily can still deliver strong returns if you buy deep and get the pricing right, but investors looking for lower volatility may prefer assets with steady cash flow from day one. It’s not about one strategy being better than another, it’s about aligning your approach with your risk tolerance and goals. 🏢📊

In this episode, Mike “Big Mike” Zlotnik breaks down how underwriting standards have tightened and why downside protection matters more than ever in today’s market. Rather than chasing volume or forcing deals, he explains how discipline has become the real advantage. 🧠📉
Big Mike walks through the three things he focuses on when underwriting today. A positive spread between cap rates and interest rates, buying well below replacement cost, and securing deep discounts from peak pricing. He explains how older Class B and C assets require more capital, more management, and far more conservative assumptions due to rising insurance, maintenance, and operational complexity.
The bigger takeaway is leadership through patience. With limited comps and sellers slow to adjust, Mike emphasizes focusing on cash flow at today’s interest rates and refusing to force economics that no longer work. This environment rewards investors who wait for the right opportunities instead of chasing every deal that hits the market. 🏢📊

In this conversation, Mike “Big Mike” Zlotnik walks through how disciplined underwriting has changed in today’s market and why downside protection matters more than ever. Instead of chasing volume, he explains how tighter standards are forcing investors to slow down and get more selective. 🧠📉
Mike breaks down the three core things he looks for when underwriting deals today. A positive spread between cap rates and interest rates, buying well below replacement cost, and securing deep discounts from peak market pricing. He highlights how rising insurance costs, aging properties, and operational complexity have made Class B and C assets harder to manage, requiring far more conservative assumptions.
The bigger takeaway is mindset. This environment rewards patience, realism, and discipline. With fewer clear comps and tighter financing, successful investors focus on cash flow at today’s rates and refuse to force deals. As Mike points out, you don’t need many wins. You just need a few deals that truly make sense. 🏢📊

On today’s podcast, Mike talks about the moment many people eventually face: realizing that what you’re good at, what you enjoy, and what actually creates freedom don’t always line up at first. 🧠
He explains the idea of finding your “genius zone” by aligning three things, what you’re good at, what you enjoy doing, and what you can build a real career or business around. For him, that clarity led away from technology and fully into real estate, a shift that felt natural once the pieces came together.
What makes this conversation powerful is the mindset shift around freedom. Not just financial freedom, but freedom of time and decision-making. Mike also points out that market resets create moments where disciplined buyers can find quality assets from motivated sellers. You don’t need many wins, just a few good ones, if you’re patient and clear on what you’re building toward. 🏢📈

In this conversation, Mike breaks down investing to its simplest discipline: managing risk before chasing returns. 🧠📉 Instead of getting distracted by complex structures or market noise, he shares a practical rule that keeps decisions grounded and protects downside.
At the core of his approach is the idea of buying for cash flow with intention. He explains how creating a positive spread between cap rates and interest rates builds a margin of safety from day one. That margin is what allows investors to breathe, stay patient, and avoid relying on perfect conditions to make a deal work.
What really stands out is the leadership mindset behind it.
Not every market fits this approach, and not every deal deserves capital. Strong investors are willing to walk away when the numbers do not align, even if others are still buying. Discipline, not optimism, is what keeps risk in check.

In this segment, Senate talks about the challenges of juggling family, business, and health. He doesn’t believe in balance—instead, he believes in focusing on seasons. 🌱
For Senate, there are times when you focus on raising your kids, and other times when you shift gears to start a business or prioritize your health. Every season has its own priorities. 🏡💼
Senate shares his own journey—he wasn’t always fit, and his health took a hit during certain seasons. But now, as he’s focused on his fitness, he’s in the gym several days a week. His message? Don’t stress about balancing everything. Instead, focus on what matters in each season of life. 💪
He also discusses how creating synergy and alignment in your life can lead to greater success and peace of mind. It’s not about having it all together at once—it’s about embracing where you are in the moment. 🌟

In this episode, Hutch talks about the power of community in achieving your real estate goals. If you're looking to close your first acquisition, your competence often drives your confidence. But here's the thing—you don’t have to go it alone. 🏡💡
Whether you’re creating your own team or joining an existing one, surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals can help you level up faster. By collaborating with others who bring different strengths and skills to the table, you increase your chances of success and build the momentum you need to scale. 🚀
Hutch also dives into how family leadership plays a role in balancing entrepreneurship with parenting. While his kids are now adults, Hutch emphasizes that parenting is a lifelong journey. As an entrepreneur and investor, finding that balance becomes easier as they grow, but the support and leadership you give them remain essential. 👨👩👧👦💼

In this episode, Senate breaks down the crucial first steps to take when looking to buy apartments. If you’re expecting mailbox money, it’s time to talk about passive investing. But if you’re ready to actively own and manage apartments, it starts with building the right team and taking action. 📈
Senate emphasizes that you don’t need to know the entire road before taking that first step. Just get to work—start analyzing deals, talking to brokers, and making offers. Action is key to momentum! 🚀
He also shares why community leadership is essential to his success as an investor. Whether it's through local meetups, serving on boards, or co-founding events, being deeply involved with his community helps him grow as an investor and educator. When you give back, you elevate yourself and others along the way.

In this Focus round, Senate shares some personal insights.
When he's not running deals or events, Senate loves golfing and enjoying cigars. 🏌️♂️🍂 He even finds joy in his work, making it all the more rewarding.
The opportunity that changed his life? Network marketing! 🙌 It introduced him to personal development through mentors like Tony Robbins, Grant Cardone, and Ed Milet.
Senate also highlights a key skill for success: asking intelligent questions. 🤔 Thinking critically is essential for every investor and entrepreneur.
What does he wish he knew earlier? "Size doesn’t matter!" 📏 If you want big, aim big from the start—like going straight for a 200-unit apartment building.
For Senate, true success isn’t about money—it’s about happiness and contentment. The real success is moments with family, like hearing his grandbaby’s belly laugh. 🏠❤️

In this episode, Senate shares powerful insights on how mindset drives success—not just in real estate, but in life! 🤔
One key takeaway? "We don’t wait to buy real estate. We buy real estate and wait." Patience and understanding market cycles are key to long-term success. But it’s more than making money—it’s about making an impact. 💥
Senate also talks about Zig Ziglar’s wisdom: "If you help enough people get what they want, you’ll get what you want." In real estate, especially in multifamily, helping others level up gives your life purpose. That's why waking up early to create content or build communities feels so rewarding. 🌱
It’s not just about wealth; it’s about connection and leadership. 🌟

In this section, Marvin explains that most problems in a deal can be worked through if they are disclosed early. What actually causes deals to fall apart is surprise.
When something important shows up late in diligence, it creates doubt. Even if it was not intentional, trust starts to erode. And once trust slips, buyers begin asking a dangerous question. What else am I missing?
Great leadership means telling the truth early, setting expectations clearly, and respecting the process. Transparency protects relationships, momentum, and outcomes. 🧠📄
Strong deals are built on trust long before signatures happen.

In this episode, Marvin explains a mindset shift many owners miss. The biggest value is created when the owner steps out of daily operations and focuses on growth.
When leadership is in place and the business runs efficiently enough, the most powerful lever left is simple. Go sell. Generate revenue. 🚀
Businesses that are prepared to scale give buyers a head start. They can move fast, build momentum, and focus on growth from day one instead of fixing foundations.
Strong leadership is not just about building something that works. It is about building something that is ready.

Marvin breaks it down simply. The only opinion that matters is the market’s. And the only way to learn what the market thinks is to ask it directly.
Too many owners try to sell quietly, take the first offer, or treat a business sale like a passive listing. That approach leaves value on the table.
Strong leadership means creating real demand, running a process with intention, and giving yourself options. 🏡🤝
If it is business or real estate, outcomes improve when you prepare properly, invite competition, and let the market do its job.

In this focus round, Marvin gives quick answers that reveal a lot about how he lives and leads. From endurance sports and faith, to telling the truth and believing that building a company is possible, the theme is clear. Success is not about titles or ego.

Sometimes the most powerful insights come from simple answers said with conviction.

In this episode, Marvin shares a principle that shapes how he leads, parents, and builds businesses. Talent helps, but persistence is what carries people through the hard parts.
Leadership often means doing the unglamorous work, staying committed, and taking responsibility all the way through. 🛠️
One of the strongest ideas in this episode is that success is not just about reaching the top. It is about completing the mission and coming back safely with everyone who depends on you. 🏔️🏠
That mindset changes how you lead, how you take risk, and how you think long term.

When Cory Harelson and his team took over their first mobile home park, they didn’t do anything flashy—they simply showed up, walked the property, talked to residents, and solved small problems that had been ignored. The feedback? “You guys actually care.”
But this episode isn’t just about feel-good moments. Cory also shares one of the most common mistakes investors make when moving from apartments to mobile home parks: miscalculating value by capitalizing income from park-owned homes. That rent is tied to personal property, not real property—and banks won’t recognize it when underwriting a deal.
If you’re chasing deals without understanding this difference, you might be overvaluing your investment and setting yourself up for trouble. The numbers matter—but so does doing right by the people living in these communities.

Cory Harelson explains one of the most overlooked opportunities in mobile home park investing
It’s not that there’s no demand
It’s that filling lots takes effort, capital, and coordination — and many longtime owners just don’t bother
But that’s where the upside lives
You’re often buying based on current cash flow
not future potential
So when you fill those lots, renovate the homes, and raise net income
the value of the property jumps — and fast
Cory breaks down how this works in commercial real estate
Why it’s different from single family homes
and how increasing income by $1 can create $15–$20 in new value
It’s not magic
It’s math — and mindset.

Sometimes the best move sounds crazy... until you ask the right person
Cory Harelson didn’t go looking for a cheerleader
He went looking for a challenge
Over one beer with the only guy he knew who owned rentals
he asked: “Talk me out of buying a mobile home park”
Turns out—his friend told him to go for it
This episode isn’t about real estate strategies
It’s about mindset
It’s about who you trust to challenge your thinking
and why most people never take that first real step
Your network won’t change your life
How you think with your network will
🎯 Action starts when you stop waiting for permission

In this focus round with Cory Harelson, things get real — fast.
We cover everything from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to communication blind spots to losing a million dollars and bouncing back with more purpose than ever.
Cory opens up about what success means to him now
Why listening became his #1 leadership skill
And how one harsh piece of feedback shifted his entire approach
We also get into
why “trust but verify” isn’t just a saying — it’s survival
what most people miss when it comes to risk
and how doing business with integrity hits different when your kids are watching
It’s not about being flashy
It’s about building something that lasts
and doing it the right way

From engineering to full-time investing, Cory Harelson shares the mindset that kept him moving forward. His go-to? Teddy Roosevelt’s “Man in the Arena” — a reminder that success belongs to the ones actually in the fight.
We talk about what it really means to show up, especially when the path isn’t clear. This one touches on purpose, mental health, and the kind of community that helps you keep going.
You don’t need all the answers to start. You just need the courage to get in the arena.

Most people don’t realize this, but if one spouse qualifies as a real estate professional, the entire household may benefit on their taxes. Even W-2 income could be offset.
Gian Pazzia breaks down how it works, what the 750-hour rule really means, and how couples are using this to take control of how their income gets taxed.
It’s not a loophole. It’s strategy.

In this episode, Gian Pazzia shares the mindset shift that separates casual investors from strategic ones. Your biggest expense is taxes. Lowering that, even slightly, can fuel serious growth if you put those savings back into real estate.
This isn’t about loopholes or chasing write-offs. It’s about leading with intention, protecting your capital, and thinking like a true wealth builder.
Gian also drops a gem on what to say when someone tells you to just make less money to save on taxes. Hint: that’s not the move.

In this episode of the Multi-Family Real Estate Experiment podcast, host Hutch interviews Kevin Bupp, CEO of Sunrise Capital Investors, about his journey in real estate. After building and losing a $75 million portfolio in the 2008 crash, Kevin rebuilt his empire stronger than ever with over $500 million in transactions. He discusses his strategies for investing in mobile home parks and parking lots, emphasizing recession resilience, cash flow, and the importance of sticking to the fundamentals. Kevin shares his experiences, lessons learned, and insights on the real estate market, making a compelling case for contrarian investing in niche asset classes.

In this episode, Kevin Bupp shares the hard truth about what went wrong early in his investing journey. His portfolio in Florida was built mostly on appreciation, not durable cash flow. And when the market turned, it turned fast.
Rents dropped. Jobs disappeared. Occupancy slipped. Even with low leverage and built-in equity, many properties lost 50 to 60 percent of their value in one year. It wasn’t sustainable.
Kevin explains how that experience reshaped his entire approach. Today, it’s all about conservative underwriting, real stress tests, and making sure properties can stand up to worst case scenarios.
This one is a wake-up call for anyone still playing the appreciation game without a backstop.

In this episode, Kevin Bupp breaks down how real value in mobile home park investing comes from the land, not the homes. Since the homes are considered personal property, like cars or trucks, they tend to lose value and create more management headaches.
The better play is to own the land, collect durable lot rent, and sell off the park-owned homes when possible. Doing this simplifies operations, reduces turnover, and increases exit value by making the property more attractive to buyers who don’t want the hassle of owning homes.
Kevin explains how this model leads to more predictable cash flow, lower expenses, and even cap rate compression when it's time to sell.

Kevin Bupp shares how he got started in mobile home park investing without knowing much at the time. What he did know was that the affordable housing crisis was real then, and it's even more urgent now.
Mobile home parks offer one of the best unsubsidized housing options in the country. For the same price as a rental apartment, families can own a brand new home in a better neighborhood and often in a stronger school district. The model creates real value and gives working families a shot at stability and pride in ownership.
It's not just an investment. It solves a real problem. Demand is rising. Supply is shrinking. And the opportunity is still out there for those paying attention.

In this episode, Kevin Bupp breaks down what actually builds wealth that lasts. He shares how chasing appreciation in 2008 nearly cost him everything, and why he shifted to buying assets with real cash flow from day one.
We talk about how reinvesting cash flow and giving it time to work can beat any market timing strategy. Kevin also shares why working harder than the next person is still one of the most underrated competitive edges.
This is about long-term thinking, steady growth, and building wealth without guessing.

In this episode, Kevin Bupp shares two mantras that guide how he leads, invests, and raises his kids. One comes from Warren Buffett. The other is about getting uncomfortable on purpose. Both hit hard if you're serious about growth.
We also talk about how discomfort isn't just a phase. It's a filter. From real estate decisions to military deployments, it's in the moments of pressure where real leadership shows up.
This isn't just another investing chat. It's a mindset check. And a reminder that playing it safe won’t get you where you want to go.
Growth demands discomfort. Leadership gets tested daily. And mindset shapes everything.

This time, Hutch takes the mic and gets straight to it.
If you're trying to break into real estate, you need more than a spreadsheet and a dream. You need reps. You need relationships. You need to be in the room, bidding on deals, learning from each one, and getting better.
Hutch shares why building your buy box, finding the right mentors, and showing brokers you're serious will take you further than chasing perfect timing. Most people won’t win the first 10 or even 50 deals. But the ones who stick around get noticed.
Want to be in best and final? Start acting like someone worth picking.

In this episode, Brian Truman shares the unexpected moment that catapulted him into multifamily real estate. It wasn’t a carefully laid plan. It wasn’t some step-by-step course. It was one opportunity, a crowded room full of curious investors, and a willingness to show up when others would’ve clocked out.
Brian breaks down how saying yes in that moment led to 100+ buyers, a fast-paced entry into multifamily, and a lesson that still holds true today: real opportunity doesn’t always show up on your schedule.
Having a supportive spouse, staying flexible, and picking up the phone might be the difference between a missed moment and a momentum shift.
Sometimes the door doesn’t knock twice.

You’ve probably heard the highlight reels. But what about the hard parts people rarely talk about?
In this episode, Brian Truman shares what he's learned from hosting the From Foundation to Fortune podcast. After interviewing countless high achievers from all walks of life, one thing keeps showing up. It's not luck. It's not a perfect background. It's grit.
From being homeless at 15 to building multi-million dollar businesses, many of these guests had every reason to quit. But they didn’t. They found mentors, stayed creative, and kept their batteries included—that inner drive that doesn’t shut off when life gets hard.
Real estate or not, this episode is packed with life lessons that apply to anyone chasing long-term success.

In this Focus Round, Brian Truman gets right to it. Quick-fire answers, but packed with real-life lessons.
He shares what lights him up, what opportunity changed everything, and how the simple habit of doing one more thing can set you apart. One more call. One more deal. One more step forward.
For Brian, success today means helping others create enough income to live life on their own terms. It's not just about money. It's about options. One of his clients now travels full-time with his family because of that first duplex they bought.
This segment is sharp, personal, and built around what actually moves the needle.

Franchising gets overlooked, but it might just be the smartest way to step into business ownership without starting from zero.
In this episode, Jon Ostenson explains how franchises offer more than just a name; they come with built-in systems, marketing playbooks, tech stacks, supply chain advantages, and a mastermind of other owners walking the same path.
It’s not about skipping the work. It’s about avoiding unnecessary guesswork.
Even if you plan to build your own thing later, franchising first gives you a front-row seat to real business principles in action. And that future business? It’ll be better because of what you learned here.
Sometimes the best first step is one that’s already been tested.

Jon Ostenson lays it out: some of the best business opportunities today are hiding in plain sight. They're not trendy, not flashy, and definitely not viral. But they work.
From parking lot striping to pet services, freight brokerage to senior care, there’s a growing demand for businesses that offer real-world value, steady cash flow, and simple operations.
These aren’t pipe dreams. They’re proven industries with long-term upside and less drama. Think fewer employees, lower startup costs, and services that people actually need.
Non-sexy is the new sexy. And it's helping smart investors buy back their time and build real freedom.

Not every franchise is built to last. In this segment, Jon Ostenson unpacks how investors can avoid being blindsided by failing concepts, trendy ideas, or undercapitalized franchise groups.
He explains why due diligence is everything, how to filter out the noise, and what real-world data tells you before you ever sign a check. It's not about chasing what’s hot. It’s about investing in industries where consumer behavior stays steady and predictable.
Business ownership is never guaranteed, but it shouldn’t be blind either. With the right filters and prep, you can take calculated risks that stack the odds in your favor.
Frozen yogurt might’ve faded, but your strategy doesn’t have to.

In this Focus Round, Jon Ostenson shares the real wins behind business ownership. Coaching his kid’s basketball team, golfing with his son, taking his daughter on dates... that’s the freedom he's built.
We talk about the opportunity that changed his life, the shift from obligation to passion, and why leadership means speaking clearly even when it's uncomfortable. He also shares how he structured his business around what he actually enjoys instead of what he thought he was supposed to do.
But the moment that sticks? His definition of success: raising kids who still want to call home when they don’t have to.
That’s real ROI.

In this episode, we head into the truth behind the Airbnb saturation talk.
Vincent shares his take on why saturation isn't the problem people think it is. In fact, he sees it as a good thing. Saturation just means the standard has been raised. You can’t dabble anymore. You need real analysis, smart property selection, and a clear plan.
This episode clears up the noise and reminds investors that if you do the work, the opportunity is still there.

In this episode, we head into a breakdown of two proven Airbnb strategies: arbitrage and co-hosting.
Vincent walks through how each model works, what the pros and cons are, and why one might make more sense depending on your goals. Arbitrage can create strong cash flow, but comes with startup costs. Co-hosting skips the upfront expense and earns you income from day one, but with a smaller cut.
He also breaks down how most people in their community don’t use their own money to furnish properties and how that plays into scalability.
If you’re weighing options or just getting started in short-term rentals, this episode gives you the clarity to pick your lane.

In this episode, we head into a practical breakdown of what works in the short-term rental space.
Vincent explains how he uses data to reverse engineer successful Airbnb strategies. He looks at top earners, studies their renovation style, location, and approach, then applies that formula to new markets. It’s simple and effective.
But it’s not just about maximizing revenue. The conversation shifts into why understanding local policy matters, especially in places like Hawaii where housing supply is tight and regulation is strict.
Yes, you can operate a business. But should you? This episode explores both the strategy and the responsibility behind short-term rentals.

He shares what he does for fun, how one job flipped his whole trajectory, and why sales is the most important skill in entrepreneurship.
We also dive into the real cost of indecision and how being more decisive can completely shift your path. Vincent closes it out with his definition of success, and it's not what you'd expect.
Straightforward. Clear. No fluff.

Rod Khleif kept it real in this episode. Most people spend more time organizing a birthday party than they do planning the next five years of their life. Wild, but true.
We talked about confidence, and how it actually starts with competence. If you want to lead better, invest smarter, or just feel more in control of your time, it begins with getting intentional.
Rod even shares a free life design guide you can use with your spouse or your kids. No sales pitch. Just tools that work.
Leadership starts at home. This episode is a reminder to treat your future like it matters.

Fear isn’t the problem. Sitting in it is.
In this episode, Rod flips the script on what fear really is. It’s not the situation you’re afraid of, it’s the feeling. And most people let that emotion win.
But top performers? They face everything and rise.
Rod talks about how goal setting, hunger, and real clarity crush fear faster than talent ever could. It’s not about being fearless. It’s about wanting something badly enough to move anyway.
If you don’t know what you want and why you want it, fear will always win.
🔥 Get clear. Get moving. The rest works itself out.

You don’t need to see the whole road. Just turn on the headlights and move.
In this clip, Rod breaks down what really holds people back from progress. It’s not the market. It’s not the money. It’s fear.
Fear of failure.
Fear of looking dumb.
Fear of not being ready.
But the real danger? Staying stuck.
Rod shares how confidence builds through small wins. Why the first deal is the hardest. And how once you break through, momentum takes over.
This mindset isn’t just for real estate. It’s for anyone tired of sitting in the same spot year after year.
👣 First step’s the toughest. Still worth it.

In this episode we head to the Focus Round — quick questions, real answers. Rod Khleif gave a fun, honest peek into his world. 🧠
From riding his elliptical bike around the neighborhood to chasing purpose over Lamborghinis, Rod breaks down what actually matters most in this stage of life. He shares why listening (yep, even when it’s hard) is the skill every leader needs, what massive action really looks like, and how success shifts from flashy things to real impact.
Hundreds of thank-you cards on his office wall now mean more than the Bentley ever did.
This round hits different. It’s personal, it's raw, and it might just get you thinking about your own answers too.

Tony Robbins said it best: “Live with passion.” And that’s exactly what Rod lives by.
This isn’t about cap rates or unit count. It’s about mindset. The kind that shows up when you’re tired, when things aren’t going your way, and when no one’s clapping for you.
Rod shares the one quote that fuels his fire in life, in business, in relationships, and yeah, even in real estate.
The takeaway? You can’t lead others if you’re not leading yourself first. 💯
👉 So what’s your mantra? The thing that gets you out of bed before the alarm goes off? Drop it in the comments.

In this episode, Hutch and Christine Healey go straight into a common frustration for high-earning investors — watching groundbreaking companies like SpaceX grow, while being stuck on the sidelines.
For so many people who’ve built real wealth, the question becomes: Why can’t I invest in that? And when they learn there is a way — it opens up a new level of opportunity. But it’s not like buying a rental property. This is a different game. And it requires awareness, not just excitement.
Christine breaks down what makes this type of investing so different, what accredited investors should consider before jumping in, and how to approach deals like this with clarity, not emotion.
This episode wraps with a grounded conversation about self-awareness, portfolio strategy, and how to take smart, informed steps toward pre-IPO investing — not just hope for access.

In this episode, Hutch and Christine Healey talk about something wild — how some of the most valuable companies in the world still aren’t accessible to everyday investors.
SpaceX at $400B. OpenAI at $500B. Massive companies, yet you still can’t buy their stock in a regular brokerage account. That’s no accident. Christine unpacks how access to these private markets has historically been reserved for family offices, ultra-wealthy investors, or employees close to the source.
But now? The game is shifting.
She explains why some insiders sell even when they still believe in the company, what’s happening behind the scenes with delayed IPOs, and how new pathways are emerging for qualified investors to finally participate.
This episode is a behind-the-curtain look at how wealth is built quietly — and why having access early can change everything.

In this episode, Christine Healey and Hutch keep the conversation going with a sharp perspective on ownership, access, and how veterans can play the long game.
Christine breaks down why some of the best financial decisions don’t come with an immediate paycheck — especially in the startup world. Instead of just chasing salary, it might be smarter to chase equity with real potential… even if that means waiting for the big win.
She explains why more people need access to information that’s usually gatekept, and why it's time to question the default route of going with big-name platforms. If you're going to make bold moves — you deserve clear insight, not confusion.
For transitioning service members or anyone building their second act, this episode offers a real mindset shift. Ownership and patience? That’s a civilian-world power move.

In this episode, Christine Healey and Hutch head into the Focus Round and cover everything from startup equity to stand-up comedy — literally.
Christine opens up about nearly joining Airbnb in its early days, the missed opportunity that stuck with her, and how it shaped her views on ownership vs. income. She talks about why equity isn’t just for founders or tech insiders — and how veterans, career changers, and professionals can use it as a real wealth-building move when the timing is right.
She also dives into the difference between working with a big-name investment firm and a boutique firm that actually knows your name — and why real trust and clarity matter more than flashy branding.
And just when you think it’s all numbers and strategy, she flips the switch and reveals her love for stand-up comedy — proving that sharp analysis and unhinged humor can live in the same brain.
This one’s packed with mindset shifts, real talk, and unexpected laughs.

In this episode, Jeremiah “JDew” Dew flips the script on what most people think they know about life insurance. This isn’t about three-letter policies or fear-based selling. JDew breaks down why whole life insurance is really about buying the insurance company’s money, creating guaranteed equity, and tapping into a pool of ever-growing, tax-free cash value.
He compares it to real estate equity—but more liquid, more flexible, and available while you're still alive. 💡
JDew also dives into leadership mindset—how building wealth isn't just about making money… it's about learning to leverage the right systems. One of them? The Save and Spend strategy—save your money, spend theirs. 🧠💥

In this episode, we dive deep into the idea of investing in a system where every dollar you put in grows exponentially, tax-free, and unrestricted. While it sounds like a dream, there are limits that come into play, especially when it comes to how much extra you can contribute. Learn why wealthy individuals have turned to life insurance to protect and grow their wealth, and why the IRS had to step in to regulate these strategies. We explore the mindset of leveraging such systems while maintaining control and leadership in your financial journey. It’s not about endless deposits—it's about smart, strategic investments that work for you over time. 🏠💡💸

From Jamaica 🇯🇲 to the yellow footprints at Parris Island 🇺🇸—27 years of service later, Hutch isn’t just investing for profit. He’s investing with purpose.
In this episode, he opens up about his journey, from growing up on land that once held a painful legacy… to breaking mindset barriers and finding alignment with a mission bigger than himself.
Real estate started as a means to build wealth—but it became a way to serve others, especially military veterans who are small business owners and accredited investors. Why? Because that’s who he is—and speaking the same language matters.
This one’s about identity, alignment, and the power of choosing your people. 💥
🧩 It’s not just about niching down. It’s about showing up for those who remind you of you.

When leadership actually leads, everyone wins.
In this episode, we unpack how doing the right thing for your team—like not slashing pay or cutting healthcare—can have a ripple effect that hits way beyond the P&L.
Hutch gets personal about what it’s like to knock on doors and collect rent when times are rough, and what he’s learned the hard way about how underpaying staff leads to more damage—literally and financially.
💥 Less turnover
💥 Lower medical costs
💥 Stronger property care
💥 Higher retention
This is about more than just real estate—it’s about leadership with backbone. If you want long-term performance, treat your people like they matter.
📌 A little integrity goes a long way… even in multifamily.

Money is personal—and for a lot of residents, it’s also a touchy subject. But what if a little education could change not just their finances, but their future?
In this episode, we dig into the real impact of bringing financial literacy into multifamily communities. Kaylee shares how she's making this part of the resident experience—not as charity, not as a “feel-good” add-on—but as a real strategy that improves lives and property performance.
We're talking mindset, leadership, and why traditional investors often miss what’s really going on behind the NOI boost.
This one’s for anyone asking:
👉 “Is there a smarter way to invest that actually creates change?”
Short answer: yes. And it’s already happening.

This episode takes a personal turn as we enter the focus round—where the questions get a little deeper, and the answers get a lot more real.
Kaylee opens up about burnout, boundaries, and how years of doing everything herself (and getting underpaid for it) finally caught up with her. But instead of staying stuck, she took accountability, reset her standards, and started leading from a completely different place—a place of worth.
She shares how she now fills her own cup first—literally dating herself, buying flowers, going to concerts solo, and learning to truly enjoy her own company. That shift changed how she shows up as a leader, a partner, and an investor.
A little real estate… but a lot of real life.

In this episode, Kaylee shares a raw shift in mindset that hits deeper than just real estate.
She opens up about why separating her identity from her business was the most freeing decision she’s made—and how a simple mantra tattooed on her wrist keeps her grounded when things get rough:
👉 “My desire is what I deserve.”
We talk about unlearning the idea that your worth is tied to productivity, embracing the power of self-definition, and how this mental shift actually strengthens leadership—not just in investing, but in life.
Yes, we talk a little real estate...
But this one’s about something more: owning your story, protecting your energy, and letting your vision lead the way.

Cody Hofhine’s not just building a business—he’s building people. At home with his four kids, and inside his company, his focus is the same: don’t create followers. Build leaders.
In this clip, Hutch and Cody talk about how real leadership isn't about having a title or barking orders—it’s about developing others to think, lead, and grow. That shift changes everything. Less stress. Better relationships. Stronger teams. Even in the Marine Corps, Hutch saw firsthand how this mindset transformed how he led—and how his people responded.
The goal isn’t control. It’s growth. And it starts with how you show up every day. 💡

In this conversation, Cody Hofhine shares how shifting from managing people to developing leaders changed everything. As a dad of four and a business owner, his goal is simple: empower others to lead—because when you do that, your team grows, your family thrives, and you stop being the bottleneck.
Hutch reflects on how this mindset transformed his leadership in the Marine Corps. Less barking, more coaching. Less control, more freedom—for everyone.

It’s easy to dream big, but what kind of leader do those dreams require you to become? In this episode, Cody Hofhine and I dig into what it really takes to attract A-players into your business, life, or mission—and spoiler alert: it starts with you. From John Maxwell’s no-nonsense leadership truths to Darren Hardy’s wild 40-page "becoming list" (yes, for his future wife), we’re breaking down why the people and results you attract are a direct reflection of who you are.
This one isn’t just about real estate—it's about mindset, discipline, and leveling up in every area. Because success doesn’t chase people. It’s pulled in by those willing to grow into it. 💪🧠✨

In this segment, Axel Ragnarsson flips the script on prospecting. It’s not about blasting mail until someone bites—it’s about making sure every owner in your market knows your name.
He walks through:
👉 Why the real goal is connection, not just closing
👉 How relationship-first outreach leads to more opportunities over time
👉 The simple filters he used when he had more time than money
👉 The exact approach he takes to start real conversations with owners
It’s a reminder that in real estate—and in business—the deal is just one outcome. The real win is the network you build along the way. 📨🤝

In this segment, Axel Ragnarsson lays it out plain: the most important move in a real estate deal isn’t mid-renovation or at the sale—it’s on day one when you buy.
He breaks down:
👉 The three key moments that shape a deal’s returns
👉 Why the purchase price outweighs almost every other factor
👉 How buying below market creates a built-in safety net for LPs
👉 Why a strong cost basis gives you room to breathe when things don’t go to plan
It’s a simple but powerful reminder—start strong, and the rest of the process gets a whole lot smoother.

In this Focus Round, I sat down with Axel Ragnarsson for a rapid-fire mix of fun, mindset, and the kind of lessons you only learn in the trenches.
We covered:
👉 How a lost wallet in Boston turned into a long-term business partnership
👉 The one thing sponsors often get wrong when talking to LPs (hint: data isn’t the starting point)
👉 Why the best buyers never convince a seller—they just stay ready when the seller decides
👉 How patience + focus beat chasing every shiny deal in the room
A little real estate, a lot of leadership mindset, and a reminder that the long game wins—if you stick to your core competency. 🧠💡

In this segment, I sit down with Axel Ragnarsson and we get real about one thing that changes the entire game: you make your money on the buy.
Axel shares why locking in the right deal upfront doesn’t just boost returns—it slashes risk, builds confidence, and frees you from babysitting a bad investment down the road.
We talk about:
👉 Why “buying right” is the ultimate risk-reduction move
👉 The discipline it takes to walk away from almost-good deals
👉 How patience and prep beat speed and volume in the long run
👉 The leadership skill behind spotting the right opportunity
A little real estate. A lot of mindset. And a reminder that in both business and life—the real win often happens before the big decision.

In this episode, Ashley Garner takes the mic and drops some honest insights about where tech meets leadership.
Yes, AI can pull data from documents, save time, and even make you look smarter in a spreadsheet. But Ashley says it straight: if you’re not inspecting what you expect, you're setting yourself up for sloppy results.
From verifying financials to reviewing outputs—tools don’t replace thinking. They just help if you know what you're doing. Otherwise, you're the guy reading “Insert Name Here” off a speech script.
This one's about using AI as a tool, not a crutch. You still need experience, judgment, and a solid process to get real results.
🎯 Tech is the assist, not the answer
🎯 Trust comes from verification
🎯 Know the outcome before you ask for help

Quick questions. Real answers. No fluff.
In this segment, Hutch puts Ashley Garner in the 🔥 hot seat for a fast-paced Focus Round—and it’s everything but surface-level.
Ashley opens up on:
👉 His go-to outdoor escapes (yes, even rafting)
👉 The mindset shift that changed everything
👉 The real reason consistent communication matters more when things get tough
👉 What he wishes he knew way earlier
👉 And the underrated superpower behind his success
From leadership to taking action before you feel “ready,” this round gets personal and practical. Real estate makes a cameo, but this one's about how you show up when it counts.
You're gonna walk away thinking less about spreadsheets and more about:
"Am I waiting... or just not moving?"

In this episode, Ashley Garner keeps it honest about what really drives investor confidence—and it’s not just a sharp-looking spreadsheet.
It’s trust.
Ashley shares how relationships—new or old—are the foundation of everything he does. For him, it's not just about presenting a solid deal. It's about being the kind of person people want to invest with.
He’s had investors who run every formula twice... and others who say, “I'm in because it's you.” That kind of trust is earned—and it carries weight.
This episode hits home for anyone who’s ever been responsible for someone else’s money, and who knows that character, consistency, and follow-through matter more than hype.
🎯 Relationships over returns (but returns still count)
🎯 Trust is built long before the pitch
🎯 The real ROI starts with reputation

In this episode, Hutch sits down with Ashley Garner for a straight-up, boots-on-the-ground conversation about leadership, mindset, and the mission-driven approach that comes from military experience.
They dive into what the book Good to Great nailed: it’s not just about getting stuff done—it’s about making sure you’ve got the right people in the right seats before you even start the engine.
Ashley draws the line between military occupational roles and business lanes, and Hutch connects it all back to leadership that works. From the cockpit to the boardroom, this one’s about clarity, ownership, and staying in your lane so the whole mission can fly.
👉 A little real estate.
🔥 A lot of mindset.
💯 And the kind of leadership talk that doesn’t wear a suit but gets results.

"Is this really how I want to spend my days?"

Brandon shares his journey from single-family remodeling and flipping to establishing a private lending company and investing in self-storage facilities. The conversation covers investment strategies for accredited investors, the three major buckets of lending (institutional, hard money, and private loans), and the benefits of using tools like Solo 401(k) and self-directed IRAs. Brandon also highlights the importance of building trust with investors and flexibility in investment strategies, especially amid market uncertainties.

In this episode, Brandon Rickman breaks down how he took control of his retirement funds after years in corporate America—and what that shift taught him about leadership, mindset, and freedom. 💭
This one’s not just about Solo 401(k)s (though that part’s 🔥). It’s about making the mental move from employee to owner. From following a path to building your own.
He shares how he set up his own trust account, became the custodian of his old 401(k), and started investing on his terms—without penalties, taxes, or waiting on someone else’s permission.
It’s a mindset shift. It’s a leadership move. And it just might change how you think about your own capital.

Think you have to quit your job to start investing? Not even close.
In this episode, we break down how full-time professionals are tapping into syndications—like our $14M self-storage deal—with as little as $50K.
Even if you're not swinging hammers or chasing deals, your capital can still be working overtime. 🧠📈
💡 We also talk about how savvy investors are pairing hard money leverage with syndication investing. Borrow 90–95% on a flip, then deploy your own cash into passive opportunities that aim to double your return in 3–5 years.
It’s not about choosing one lane. It’s about stacking smart plays.
✅ Steady job
✅ Solid income
✅ Strategic capital deployment
That’s how you move from working for income… to letting income work for you.

Most people think there's only one way to fund a deal: go to the bank and pray they like your tax returns.
But that’s just one bucket.
In this episode, we unpack three types of lending that every real estate investor (and honestly, every entrepreneur) should understand—because it's not just about the rates... it's about control, relationships, and how fast you can move.
💡 You'll hear how institutional, hard money, and private lending differ—and why private capital built on trust might be the most underrated superpower in business.
This isn't just a real estate conversation. It's a lesson in leadership, credibility, and resourcefulness. Because when the banks say no, how do you still say yes to opportunity?
👉 Which lending path matches your mindset?

We kicked things off with a mindset gem: “Don’t fall in love with the property.” 🧠💥
In this segment, Brandon Rickman reminds us that real estate is a product, not a passion project. Too many investors get stuck chasing “the one” and end up compromising their standards—or worse, losing money.
When you treat investing like a business (not a breakup), the results speak for themselves. No deal is the last deal. And no return is worth your peace of mind. 💼
This one's a gut check for anyone who’s ever gotten a little too attached to a “perfect” property.

In this episode, Toby Potter calls it out:
There are hundreds of thousands of people who want to invest in real estate—without ever touching drywall or dealing with tenants. 😅
You’ve got the W-2 job.
Maybe a 401(k), maybe an IRA.
But that retirement finish line? Still feels 20 years away… even after 20 years of grinding. 🧠
Toby breaks down how investors are using private equity funds to tap into real estate without “being in” real estate. Passive capital. Monthly dividends. Compound growth.
One investor started with $500K. Today? That account’s cleared $2M—just by staying in and letting time + the right team do the work.
This episode is a reminder: you don’t need to swing hammers to build wealth. 🛠️➡️📈

In this episode, Toby Potter keeps it real:
“I pulled all my money out of Wall Street 90 days ago.” 💬
Why? Too volatile. Too inconsistent.
While the market gave him 8–10%, his real estate deals? 24–30%—consistently. 📈
Owning over 300+ doors and still actively investing, Toby breaks down how cash flow and appreciation create a compounding effect you’ll never find in the stock market. You don’t have to flip houses or swing hammers to earn this way. You can be a silent partner, an LP, and still let your capital grow.
This episode is a blunt look at why real estate still beats Wall Street—for those who know how to play it right. 🧠

In this episode, Toby talks about why long-term wealth builders—from Carnegie to Zuckerberg—trust real estate more than tech trends. And we go deeper than just money. This isn’t about being a lender for the sake of deals. It’s about partnership, mentorship, and actually setting investors up to win.
Because if you fail on deal #1, there is no deal #2.
The right team makes sure you're not just funded… but profitable. 💼✅

For Toby Potter, fun isn’t a weekend hobby.
It’s getting on stage to change lives—and he means that literally. 👏
In this episode, Hutch runs Toby through a quick-fire FOCUS round (Fun, Opportunity, Communication, Understanding, Success)… and what unfolds is part mindset, part mission.
✅ What Toby does for fun? Speak, teach, impact.
✅ A last-minute speaking gig that became a career-defining moment.
✅ Why transparency isn’t just a nice idea—it’s the only way partnerships work.
✅ And the belief that spiritual, mental, and physical discipline is the foundation for getting through any storm—COVID, crashes, or chaos.
This one's about leadership that lasts. And why your success? It’s not random. It’s built. 💪

You’ve heard all the quotes. Read all the books. Maybe even taken the courses. But none of it moves the needle until you move.
In this episode, Hutch sits down with Toby Potter who’s been through it all—1994 startup grind, the 2008 crash, the 2015 rebuild, and even the COVID chaos. But his success didn’t come from luck or timing. It came from one mindset:
👉 “If it’s going to be, it’s up to me.”
This one belief became the compass for his entire journey—business, real estate, life, and leadership. And it’s not about grinding harder... it’s about owning your path.
A great listen if you’re in a season of transition, rebuilding, or just tired of waiting for something outside of you to change.

A lot of people talk themselves out of rental property investing before they even begin. Maybe it’s the fear of bad tenants. Or thinking you need to fix every leaky faucet yourself.
The truth is, you don’t. You just need the right team and realistic expectations. On the flip side, expecting easy money without putting in the work can lead to frustration fast.
In this episode Joel Miller and I clear up the most common myths that hold people back from building real wealth through real estate. It’s not about doing it all. It’s about doing it smarter. 🔧📈

Joel Miller’s story shows that real estate doesn't have to replace your career or passion. For 35 years, he built a rental property portfolio while working full-time as a professional entertainer.
This episode is about making real estate fit into your life, not take over your life. His bestselling book speaks to both beginners who feel like real estate isn’t for them and seasoned investors looking for fresh perspective.
Now he's spreading the message through podcasts and proving that freedom can start small and grow with consistency. 🎶📘

This one hits different. It’s not about bank accounts or asset classes. It’s about mindset. Joel Miller breaks down the difference between riches and wealth in a way that sticks. Knowing the facts is one thing.
Applying them with purpose? That’s wisdom. He shares why he’d give up money before relationships any day, and how real wealth shows up in contentment, connection, and how you use what you’ve been given.
There's a little real estate in the background, but the heart of this episode is all leadership, values, and perspective. 🙌

In this focus round, Joel Miller shares more than just business wins. From whitewater rafting to his first hard money loan, he talks about how saying yes to unexpected opportunities can shift everything.
What really stands out is his take on communication. Joel believes clear, thoughtful writing, even in a quick text, shows leadership.
He also touches on faith, mindset, and the missed chances that come from thinking too small. This one blends real talk with practical takeaways. 🙌

Ever felt stuck between chasing big goals and worrying about what others think? In this episode, Joel Miller and I drop two mindset gems that cut through the noise.
1️⃣ "He who cares least, wins." A powerful negotiation mindset that flips pressure into power.
2️⃣ "Don’t take advice from someone you wouldn’t trade places with." Because your future deserves better than small thinking.
We talk about how these quotes show up in leadership, real estate deals, and life decisions. Especially for those building legacy and long-term freedom. 🙌🏼
Real estate is just the playground. The real game is mindset.

In this episode, Randy Langenderfer and I dive into the sharp mindset shift that challenges conventional financial advice: is spreading yourself thin actually making you stronger—or just keeping you from being great?
The conversation tackles the quote often echoed in investing circles—“Diversification is for rookies”—and reframes it in a powerful way. Coming from a Marine Corps background, I explain why mastering your craft before chasing multiple strategies matters in both real estate and life. Just like in the military, you don’t jump into other roles until you’ve fully owned your own.
This episode is all about focus, discipline, and why doing one thing really well can be your fastest route to long-term success. If you're overwhelmed with too many plays in the playbook, this one’s for you.

In this episode I sit down with Randy Langenderfer, a high-energy grandfather, fractional CFO, and multifamily investor who knows what it means to earn your wins.
Randy shares how a fire that took out 28 units in his very first GP deal turned into one of the biggest game changers of his career. From nearly crumbling under pressure to doubling investors' capital in just 21 months, he breaks down what it taught him about grit, leadership, and crisis management.
We also touch on the art of communication—especially how generational preferences matter when managing investor relationships—and why knowing your audience is half the battle.
Randy opens up about overcoming analysis paralysis, the importance of face-to-face connection, and why he believes faith and persistence have been his strongest allies in the game.
💥 This episode is packed with quiet wisdom, honest moments, and a reminder that you don’t have to know it all—you just have to show up and grow up.

In this episode, I sit down with Randy Langenderfer to talk about something that many ambitious minds overlook—you don’t have to reinvent the wheel to win.
From Andrew Carnegie’s timeless quote to a deeper dive into why modeling proven strategies is not only smart but essential, this conversation uncovers the mindset difference between struggling and scaling.
They touch on why comparing your step 2 to someone else's step 98 can steal your momentum, and how staying focused on fundamentals—especially in real estate—can help you stay in your lane and still go far.
You’ll also hear how Randy is applying classic wisdom to modern real estate and why simplicity often wins.
This one is for the overthinkers, the early-stage investors, and anyone who feels like they’re behind. Watch the full episode for some grounding truths and mindset shifts that’ll stick with you.

In this episode of the Multifamily Real Estate Experiment podcast, I, you host, Shelon Hutchinson, known as Hutch the Marine Investor, interview George Salas, the founder of Express Capital and a visionary in short-term rental capital and structuring. George shares his journey from growing up in poverty in Lima, Peru, to building a successful portfolio of experiential short-term rentals and structuring large fund management deals. The discussion delves into the importance of not letting obstacles hinder one's dreams, the intricacies of raising capital, structuring funds, and the need for creating unique guest experiences to stand out in the saturated short-term rental market. George also discusses his strategy for a $200 million roll-up of property management companies and the practicalities of acquiring and scaling operations in the short-term rental industry. The episode is rich with insights into building a sustainable and profitable real estate business, underpinned by personal development, strategic partnerships, and leveraging experiential amenities.

In this episode, Hutch sits down with George Salas who cracked the code on attracting heavy-hitting fund managers and capital raisers—and it’s not what you think. It’s not just about showing off your track record. It’s about creating better economics for your partners than they could get on their own. 💼📊
We’re talking share class structures, aligned incentives, and why giving fund managers room to win with you actually opens the door to bigger deals.
This convo isn’t just for capital raisers—it’s for anyone who wants to build smarter partnerships and attract aligned operators. If you’ve ever asked:
“Why would someone bring their investors to me?”
…this one’s for you. 👂

This episode is a masterclass in thinking BIGGER. Hutch and George Salas sit down to talk strategy around two massive wealth-building goals: one, creating an experiential short-term rental portfolio with strong, steady NOI—and two, building a service-based business that supports those properties and stands on its own.
The kicker? Both are being built to exit—but independently. 🎯
You’ll hear about how to reverse engineer for institutional buyers, why recession-resistant markets matter, and what makes an asset actually attractive when it’s time to sell. This one’s not just about real estate… it’s about clarity, intention, and setting your business up to be acquired.
📊 If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to move from owner-operator to visionary founder—this is it.

In this deep and honest episode, Hutch dives into the mindset behind dreaming big—but also dreaming smart. Inspired by a Dave Chappelle quote about powerful dreamers always winning, this convo breaks down something that rarely gets talked about: knowing when you’re walking in your own dream vs. just helping others build theirs.
Especially in capital raising and business, it’s easy to get caught chasing someone else’s vision without realizing your own dream has taken a backseat. This isn’t just about real estate—it’s about clarity, ambition, and creating win-win momentum that honors your vision while supporting others.
Tune in to hear a fresh take on purpose-driven success, and why rising tides only lift your boat if you know where you’re sailing.

In this high-energy episode, Hutch sits down with George Salas to talk about living with intention, leading with vision, and building a business and life that actually supports your health, family, and freedom. From spontaneous asset-management weekends in short-term rentals to structuring $15M+ portfolios, George opens up about the mindset and momentum behind his success.
They dive into personal growth, biohacking, the real cost of poor communication, and why overcommunicating with clarity and energy is a power move most people overlook. And of course, they drop golden nuggets on fund structuring, the role of community like RaiseMasters, and how big rooms can shift your thinking—fast.
🎯 Oh—and yes, they talk about AI, living to 123, and Hutch’s Own More of America Summit (you’ll want to catch that part too).

Ever walk into a room and immediately feel like you need to level up?
In this episode, I reflect on what it’s like to be surrounded by top-tier thinkers, leaders, and investors—and how just being in that space shifts your mindset. From a small moment with Rob Beardsley (and a signature hat 👀), to the energy of walking into One World Trade, I share how proximity to excellence naturally raises your own standards.
This isn’t about appearance. It’s about presence.
It’s about how high-quality rooms challenge you to speak better, think sharper, and show up stronger.
If you’ve ever second-guessed how you present yourself—or wondered if you're ready to be in “those rooms”, this episode is for you.
Hear the full episode to hear the mindset shift that happened at One World Trade and why leveling up doesn’t always start with knowledge—it starts with how you walk in.

Taxes and insurance—the two things everyone says you can’t control in real estate. But what if that’s not totally true?
In this episode, Sam Morris and I flip the script on how smart asset management can actually influence these so-called “uncontrollables.” From understanding what insurance companies are really looking for to securing a 99-year tax abatement, I also share the kind of next-level thinking most operators completely overlook.
It’s not just about cutting reno costs or running the numbers—it's about seeing the whole board and making strategic moves that protect your bottom line long-term.
Watch the full episode to catch these golden nuggets from Sam Morris—you’ll never look at asset management the same way again.

Not every investor conversation goes as planned. And that’s okay.
In this episode, Sam Morris and I talk about the power of being honest when you don’t have all the answers—and why that can actually build more trust than pretending you do. The guest shares a story of getting stumped by a more experienced investor and how saying, “I don’t know, but I’ll find out,” led to growth, credibility, and a better relationship.
We also get real about the real keys to success. It’s not just strategy—it’s who’s in your corner. The most business-changing decision? Marrying the right partner. 22 years in, four teenagers, and still showing up strong.
This episode is full of reminders that leadership isn’t about being flawless—it’s about being human, being real, and staying in the game. Because if you're not in the game... you can't win.

This one hits a little deeper than the usual talk about deals.
In this episode, Sam Morris and I explore how one opportunity can change everything—especially when you're young, green, and willing to listen. The guest shares how mentorship from a bank chairman (before he even knew what that meant) completely shifted the course of his career. Why? Because he was coachable.
He also opens up about what matters most when it comes to communicating with investors: just tell the truth. If it's good, say it's good. If it's not, own it, explain why, and show the plan forward. That kind of honesty builds more than deals—it builds trust.
And outside the boardroom? It’s all about hunting, fishing, golfing with family, and soaking in the moments that matter.
It’s a real one—leadership, mindset, a little real estate, and a whole lot of wisdom.

“If you confuse, you lose.” And that goes for both life and investing.
In this episode, Sam Morris and I get into why clarity is everything—especially when it comes to educating investors and making sound decisions. The guest shares powerful insight on what happens when people feel unsure: they back out. Not because the deal is bad, but because confusion kills confidence.
We also unpack the real talk around multifamily investments—yes, they come with upside, but they also come with trade-offs like limited liquidity. And that’s not a bad thing... as long as you’re clear about what you’re getting into.
Transparency, clarity, and telling it like it is—that’s what builds trust and long-term results.

Everyone talks about the deals, the numbers, the market. But here’s the truth—real estate isn’t the hard part. People are.
In this episode, Sam Morris and I get into what really makes or breaks your success. Residents, employees, investors... managing people is where the real work shows up.
The guest shares a simple but powerful mantra: “Real estate is easy. People are difficult.” It’s a reminder that strategy is nothing without leadership.
If you’ve ever felt like the people side of the business takes the most energy, you’re not alone. This one’s for the ones leading from the front, figuring it out as they go, and learning how to grow through it.

Some people wait for the “perfect” moment to get things done. This episode is about those who just get it done. No excuses. No dragging it out. Just commitment.
Michael Pouliot shares how high-performance environments shaped a mindset where almost anything—especially when it's on your desk or screen—can be finished today. It’s not about rushing... it’s about recognizing that discipline builds confidence. That “I can handle anything” energy doesn’t come from talent—it comes from reps.
This one's for the leaders who know that follow-through is the real flex. Start it. Finish it. Then move.

This episode hits home for anyone chasing their version of success—especially in real estate. Michael Pouliot breaks down the reality that building your business (or syndication strategy) won’t be overnight, but it is possible.
You don’t need to fit into someone else’s model—you can create your own, tailor it to your strengths, and iterate along the way. Just keep showing up. You’ll get knocked down (often), but as long as you keep getting up, you're still in the game.

In this episode, Michael Pouliot gets real about something a lot of investors (and dreamers) struggle with—taking action. The guest breaks it down with a simple truth: knowledge without action is useless, and goals without execution are just wishes. With all the tools and resources out there today, learning isn’t the problem anymore. The gap is doing. If you’re still stuck in research mode, this episode is your wake-up call to move.

In this episode, Michael Pouliot dives into a philosophy that’s less about hype and more about durability: margin of safety. Taken from Benjamin Graham and adopted by Warren Buffet, this principle reminds us that it’s not about getting the highest return—it’s about protecting what you’ve built. From keeping reserves, to smart acquisitions, to choosing the right debt structure—Mike breaks down how to build a portfolio that weathers the storm and thrives long-term. If you're investing without buffers, you might just be gambling.

We’re all taught to follow the “safe” path—get a degree, land a good job, contribute to a 401k, buy a house, and grind it out for decades. But what if that path is actually the slow lane to financial freedom? 🤔
In this episode, Lane Kawaoka break down how one decision—renting out a home instead of just living in it—flipped the script on wealth-building. What started as a side hustle quickly turned into a roadmap to escape the rat race, proving that real estate can be more than just an investment—it can be the key to freedom.
Key Takeaways:
- Why cash flow changes everything
- The power of questioning the "safe" career path
- How to leverage what you already have to create wealth
- Why taking action early makes all the difference
If you’ve ever felt stuck in the career cycle, this episode might just be the wake-up call you need.

Saving $50,000 to $100,000 a year sounds great—until you realize it’s not enough to build real wealth. Too many high earners stack cash but never put it to work. In this episode, Lane Kawaoka break down the shift from just saving to strategic investing, moving beyond 401(k)s with high fees and into high-growth assets like real estate syndications.
- The mistake of letting savings sit idle
- Why traditional investments aren’t always the best choice
- How to transition from single-family to scalable multifamily deals
- The power of meeting the right investors to unlock better opportunities
If you’re earning well but not seeing real financial freedom, you might be missing the key to multiplying your money.

What’s the real difference between people who build wealth and those who just save money? It’s not just about earning—it’s about deploying capital wisely.
In this episode, Lane Kawaoka break down why simply saving isn’t enough, why buying assets before spending is the key to financial freedom, and how most people fall into the trap of letting money sit idle—or worse, spending it on things that don’t grow their wealth.
- The #1 mistake people make when they have extra cash
- Why investing in assets beats traditional saving

Success isn’t just about moving fast—it’s about moving in the right direction. 🚀 If your ladder is leaning against the wrong wall, you’re just getting to the wrong place faster. Too many people grind endlessly without questioning if their path is actually aligned with their mission, values, and purpose.
Like a ship drifting just one degree off course, small misalignments in your daily actions can lead you miles away from where you actually want to be. So how do you make sure your goals are truly in line with your purpose? 🤔
In this episode, Time Kelly and I break down how to find clarity, align your vision, and avoid wasting energy on the wrong things. If you want long-term success with real fulfillment, this conversation is a must-listen. 🎙️🔥

High performers don’t just work harder—they work smarter, with intention, and alignment. 🚀 Research shows that top achievers master five key pillars:
✅ Clarity – Knowing what you truly want (not just what sounds good)
✅ Energy – Mental & physical stamina to execute at a high level
✅ Courage – The ability to step up, speak out, and take action
✅ Productivity – Working on the right things, not just staying busy
✅ Influence – Leading, inspiring, and elevating others
Too often, people grind endlessly, take on unnecessary burdens, and make sacrifices that don’t actually move them forward. Sound familiar? Whether in business, the military, or life in general, we sometimes chase success at the cost of what matters most. 💡
In this episode, Tim Kelly and I dive deep into how to align your goals with your values, avoid unnecessary sacrifices, and build a high-performance mindset—without burning yourself out in the process. 🎙️

Success isn’t about comparing yourself to others—it’s about comparing yourself to your past self. 🚀 Too many people get caught up in arbitrary numbers, external expectations, and someone else’s highlight reel. But the most fulfilled and successful people focus on how much they’ve grown, the lessons they’ve learned, and the challenges they’ve overcome.
In this episode, Tim Kelly and I break down:
🔑 Why comparison kills progress (and how to stop doing it)
📈 How to measure real success—the kind that actually fulfills you
🧠 The mindset shift that separates top achievers from the stuck & stressed
If you’re feeling frustrated or doubting your progress, pause and look back. See how far you’ve come, not how far someone else appears to be. This episode is a reminder that your journey is yours—own it. 🎙️🔥

In this episode, Tim Kelly and I dive into a powerful mindset shift—why only dead fish go with the flow 🐟🚫. If you're striving for greatness, you’re already setting yourself apart from the crowd. The path to success isn't about following the easiest route but embracing the struggle, pushing against the tide, and carving your own path. 💪🔥
We talk about the importance of being different, thinking bigger, and embracing the discomfort that comes with growth. If you’ve ever felt like you’re swimming upstream while everyone else is drifting along, that’s a good thing. Because true success, passion, and fulfillment come from stepping outside of mediocrity.
This conversation is for the risk-takers, the dream-chasers, and those who refuse to settle. Keep going, we’ve got your back. 💯

In this episode, Tom Kirkpatrick and I explore the art of diversification and why it’s essential for financial peace of mind. While real estate offers stability, predictability, and tax benefits, it’s not about choosing between the stock market and real estate—it’s about leveraging both.

We also reflect on the lessons learned from visiting the New York Stock Exchange and discuss how blending tangibility with market-driven growth creates a future you can count on.

In this episode, Alan Steinberg sheds light on one of the most crucial questions every investor asks: "When are we getting out?" While a great property can offer fantastic returns, Alan understands that life circumstances often drive investors to look for an exit.

Alan shares how he approaches these scenarios, even buying out investors when he believes in a property's long-term potential. It's a conversation on balancing investor needs with a commitment to valuable assets.

In this episode, Hutch talks with Alan Steinberg about the golden rule he brought from commodities to real estate: “Protect your losses, and your profits will take care of themselves.” Alan dives deep into his defensive approach to investing, explaining how focusing on minimizing risks upfront can be the smartest strategy in real estate. Rather than chasing gains or banking on future appreciation, Alan evaluates every deal by how well he can safeguard against potential losses. For him, protecting the downside is what gives the confidence to invite friends and family to invest alongside him. This episode sheds light on why playing defense might just be the best way to build wealth sustainably.

In this episode, I sit down with Alan Steinberg to discuss a powerful mindset shift in real estate investing. Alan lives by two key principles: "Don't wait to buy real estate—buy real estate and wait," and "diversify for the long term." He’s seen too many investors paralyzed by high interest rates or uncertain markets, while he continues to invest strategically and wait for returns to build. Alan shares why he believes that adapting quotes into personal mantras makes all the difference in staying committed and making decisions from a place of confidence. His wisdom on diversification, seizing opportunities despite market challenges, and making real estate investment a lifelong habit are solid gold for any investor.

In this episode, Matthew Sutika and I break down why choosing the right insurance partner—not just a “vendor”—is a game-changer for multifamily property investors. Real estate is a team sport, and having an insurance provider who acts as a true partner, invested in your success, can make all the difference. Unlike a standard vendor relationship, a true partnership with your insurance provider ensures they’re there for you through every challenge, every renewal, and every unexpected twist. It’s about building a long-term, value-driven connection that treats insurance as a strategic tool, not just a line item. Learn what to look for in an insurance partner and why it matters for the future of your investment. 💪🏢✨

It’s not just about “getting a good rate”—it’s about knowing how insurance directly affects your cash flow, renewal rates, and long-term viability.

We look at insurance as a tool to manage risk tolerance and protect assets, providing clarity to make savvy, business-focused decisions that support your cash flow goals. 📈💰

In this episode, Matthew Sutika and I break down a critical mindset shift in real estate insurance: viewing your insurance partner as more than a box to check at closing. Our guest explains why insurance should be seen as a long-term partnership rather than just a line item for deals. Beyond the policy, a quality insurance partner stands by you for the life of the property—whether you’re navigating a storm claim, a lawsuit, or just need advice. Forget about hourly fees; a true insurance partner is there to support you 365 days a year, keeping your investment protected and thriving. This episode is all about leveraging that partnership to ensure success in every aspect of multifamily ownership. 🏢🤝💼

In this episode, Matthew Sutika and I explore a fresh approach to multifamily insurance that could reward proactive property management with lower premiums. Our guest, insurance expert Matthew Sutika, discusses how insurance companies are beginning to recognize and value good operators. Imagine a world where your attention to details—like filling potholes promptly or replacing fallen trees immediately—actually influences your insurance rate. Matt explains how this trend could soon enable great operators to pay less for insurance while poor management leads to higher costs. This concept could transform the way real estate operators view risk management, ultimately rewarding those who invest in better property care. 👏🏢✨

In this episode, Alice Yim and I dive deep into the mindset of humility and the power of learning from others. Starting small and embracing the "pay-to-learn" mentality can set you up for long-term success. 💡
We explore why it’s not just about scaling fast, but about absorbing lessons as a passive player before you take the reins as a leader or a general partner.
Understanding the behind-the-scenes process—how people communicate and what investors really need—creates a foundation for real growth. 📚💼
Tune in for insights that go beyond real estate, focusing on personal leadership, staying grounded, and the importance of patience in the journey toward success. 🚀

On this episode, I dive into a deep conversation with Marshall Sykes, a seasoned real estate investor. We discuss a vital question that every aspiring investor asks themselves: Is it ever too late to start? 💭

In this episode, we’re talking about how setting big, audacious goals changed everything for me and my wife in real estate. After spending 14 months flipping single-family homes, we realized that we could have been doing so much more with multifamily investments. 😅 So, we set a crazy goal—to co-sponsor 100 units by the end of 2019. We didn’t quite hit 100, but 55 units later, we knew we were on the right path! 🏢💥
You’ll see that once you realize what’s possible, there’s no going back! 🔥💪

In today’s episode, we’re diving into the massive trend taking over the real estate world: Build-to-Rent communities! 🎙️
Developers have capitalized on this growing movement, and it’s not just about creating homes—it’s about creating a lifestyle.
Younger generations, especially Gen Z and millennials, are flocking to these homes not just because they want to live in a house, but because they don’t want to own one. 🏡
They’re all about the "lock-and-leave" lifestyle, where they can jet off to Europe for three weeks and not worry about the yard or the maintenance. Meanwhile, seniors and empty nesters are also gravitating toward these communities—downsizing to something smaller, simpler, and closer to their grandkids. 👶
The beauty of Build-to-Rent is that it’s catering to two different demographics with a common need for flexibility and freedom. So, is this housing trend here to stay? And why is it so attractive to both young and old? Tune in as we break it all down! 🎧

In this episode, we’re tackling one of the biggest challenges in today’s real estate market—affordable housing. We’re diving deep into the rise of Build-to-Rent communities.
With housing prices skyrocketing, millennials and zennials are eager to leave apartment living but can’t afford traditional single-family homes. 🏘️ So, what’s the solution? Build-to-Rent!
These communities are essentially starter homes for rent, offering the comfort and feel of a house without the price tag of ownership. We’ll explore why developers stopped building affordable homes after 2008 and how this has fueled today’s housing crunch. And more importantly, we’ll look at how Build-to-Rent communities might just be the answer for first-time renters looking for a home they can truly live in. 🔑💡
Tune in as we break down the trends, the challenges, and why this asset class is booming! 🚀

In this episode, I’m talking to my fellow veterans and anyone leveraging a VA loan about a crucial mindset shift: Every piece of real estate you buy should be treated as an investment.
I’m sharing why it’s so important for veterans, especially those just starting their military careers, to view their home purchases through the lens of investing. 📊
Whether you're settling into your first duty station or preparing for a PCS move, you need to think beyond just a place to live. What’s your exit strategy?
What’s your long-term hold plan? Leveraging the VA loan is a huge advantage, but you’ve got to run the numbers and make sure that when you move on, your property works for you, not the other way around. 🏡💸
Are you seeing your real estate purchases as investments? Let’s talk about how this simple mindset shift can change the way you build wealth. Drop your thoughts in the comments below! 💬

In this episode, I’m diving into a question that hits home for many of us: Would you rather be completely debt free but still have to work, or would you prefer financial freedom with some responsible debt?
I’m your host, Hutch, and today we’re going to unpack the difference between being debt free and being financially free. 📈
Inspired by the teachings of Grant Cardone, we’ll explore the idea of leveraging "good" debt—debt that’s paid for by income-producing assets.
It’s all about borrowing long-term at low interest rates and investing in assets that generate cash flow. Sounds like a no-brainer, right? But it’s not that simple. We'll talk about how to create a solid financial strategy that allows you to build wealth while letting your assets do the heavy lifting. 💪
So, which path would you choose? Debt-free or financially free? Let’s discuss in the comments below! 💬

In today’s episode, we’re tackling the power—and the risks—of using leverage in real estate.
Let's dive into the balancing act of leveraging debt to maximize returns. Just like in the Spiderman movie, “With great power comes great responsibility,” and that couldn’t be more true when it comes to using leverage. ⚖️
We’ve used leverage as low as 60% and as high as 80% on deals, but we always keep one thing in mind: leverage can magnify both gains and losses. When used wisely, leverage can make your returns soar while allowing you to take full advantage of tax benefits like depreciation.
But if you're not careful, it can also lead to major financial setbacks. So, how do you strike the right balance? 🏡💡
Let’s break down the risks, rewards, and the smart way to use leverage in real estate deals. What’s your experience with leverage? Drop your thoughts in the comments below! 💬

In this episode, I’m joined by Dan, who’s diving deep into the often-overlooked details that can make or break a commercial lease deal.
Dan explains why options in leases might not be as beneficial as they seem—especially from a landlord's perspective.
While tenants might love the flexibility, landlords could be left vulnerable if the tenant decides to walk away. 😬
Dan also highlights the critical importance of knowing exactly who is signing the lease. Is it a corporate giant or a small LLC with minimal assets?
The difference could impact your financial security in a big way. And when it comes to personal guarantees, Dan stresses the need to understand the tenant’s net worth and verify it with proper documentation.
Lastly, we explore the intricacies of lease structures—whether it’s an absolute triple net lease or something more complex. Who’s responsible for HVAC repairs or replacements?
These details can drastically affect your bottom line, so negotiating them wisely is key.

In this episode, I'm joined by Dan, and we're exploring why shopping centers might just be the next big thing in your real estate portfolio.
Dan shares his insights on how the cap rate Delta in shopping centers can create serious cash flow opportunities.
With financing available at competitive rates and shopping centers trading at higher cap rates, there’s a chance to capture that sweet spot of profitability. 🤑
But that’s not all—Dan also breaks down how you can force appreciation in shopping centers just like in multifamily properties.
By addressing deferred maintenance, upgrading tenants, and converting gross leases to triple net leases, you can significantly boost your property's value and income.
If you’ve been sleeping on shopping centers, it’s time to wake up to the potential they offer.
What do you think? Is it time to add a shopping center to your portfolio? Drop your thoughts below! 🏢💼

Throughout our discussion, Travis underscores the necessity of transparency and humility from syndication partners.
He points out that all investments carry risk and stresses the importance of diversification and strategic planning to manage potential downturns. 🔄🛡️

This, however, shouldn't be an immediate red flag. 🚩➡️🚫
He reflects on the recent economic upheavals, particularly the unexpected rise in interest rates that exceeded forecasts dramatically.
This example illustrates the volatile nature of real estate investment and underscores the necessity for new investors to look beyond surface-level metrics like immediate past returns.
Instead, consider the broader context of an operator's track record and how they manage challenges. 💹📉
Tune in to get equipped with the tools and mindset needed to navigate the complex but rewarding world of real estate syndication.
Whether you're looking to be hands-off or keen to dive deeper into property investment, this episode will give you the foundation you need to start on solid ground.

Welcome back to another engaging episode of our podcast, where we dive deep into the keys to success in real estate investing.
I’m your host, Hutch, and today we’re exploring the perfect blend of education and action with our guest, an experienced investor who’s mastered this balance. 📘💼
Our guest, Travis, shares a powerful lesson learned through his own journey: the importance of moderated, focused learning and its application.
Initially setting a daunting goal of reading 52 books a year, he quickly realized that absorbing too much information without practical application can be overwhelming—like drinking from a fire hose. 🚒📚
He emphasizes the importance of taking digestible bits of knowledge—whether from a book, a mentor, or a conference—and then implementing that knowledge to see real-world results.
Drawing inspiration from Bruce Lee’s philosophy, he points out that mastery doesn't come from knowing a thousand moves but from practicing one move a thousand times.
In real estate investing, this translates to focusing on specific strategies and perfecting them through continuous, calculated actions. 🥋🏘️
Join us as we delve into how maintaining this balance has not only led to his success but has also kept him agile and effective in the fast-paced world of real estate.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to enhance their investing approach through a disciplined balance of learning and action.

Hey there, it's Hutch, your host, welcoming you back to another episode where we unpack the wisdom that shapes successful investing strategies. 🚀🏡
Today, I’m joined by Travis, a seasoned investor, who shares a pivotal lesson from his journey: the importance of grasping economic fundamentals early on.
Travis confesses that the overwhelming and often conflicting economic reports from major media left him puzzled in his early days. 📉📈
This confusion led him to create a unique quarterly report that pools data from ten different sources, providing a clearer, unbiased perspective on economic conditions.
Travis emphasizes that many investors, including himself initially, focus too much on the details of individual deals without considering the broader economic context or the track record of operators. 🧐💼
His approach now involves a more holistic view, ensuring that every investment decision is well-informed by solid economic understanding.
Join us as Travis explains how this shift has not only clarified his investment strategy but also set him apart in the real estate market.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to deepen their market insight and refine their investment approach. 🌟🏘️

Today, we're unpacking the essence of effective communication and how it can make or break your investment success.
In this episode, Our guest, Travis shares his personal mantra on the importance of communication. From the early days of his investing journey, he's been adamant that a quick and thorough response is key to building trust and solid partnerships. 🤝💬
He's always avoided groups that drag their feet on replies because, let’s be honest, if they can’t get back to you promptly in today’s digital age, can you really count on them when the chips are down?
As the market dynamics shift and investments face uncertainties, the value of open and detailed communication skyrockets.
We discuss how some groups excel by not only keeping investors updated on the basics like occupancy and collections but also by providing deep dives into financials, projections, and the impact of current events on our investments. 📊📈
This heightened level of transparency and engagement is crucial, especially when the market isn’t performing as expected.
It ensures that as investors, we’re not just passive spectators but informed participants, ready to face whatever comes our way. 🌐👀
Join us as we explore why elevating communication standards is not just a preference but a necessity in the evolving landscape of real estate investments.
Stay tuned and get ready to transform how you engage with your investment partners to drive success. 🚀🏠

Hey, it's Hutch here, welcoming you back to another exciting episode where we dive into the lives and opportunities that come with being a passive real estate investor. 🎧🏠
Today, we're chatting with Travis, who shares how relocating to the sunny vistas near Walt Disney World in Florida has transformed his family life and leisure time. 🌞🌴
Travis talks about the joys of living just a stone's throw away from Disney, embracing the theme parks, and enjoying the water adventures with his young son.
This lifestyle, as Travis points out, is all thanks to the time freedom afforded by his role as a limited partner in real estate syndications. 🎢💦
But it's not all fun and games; there's serious business too. Travis reflects on the pivotal opportunities that have come his way over the last 18 months.
Investing in deals during this time, he believes, will outperform many others from his past, marking a significant turning point in his investment journey. 📈💼
Join us as we explore how choosing the right lifestyle and seizing game-changing investment opportunities can lead to both personal joy and financial growth.
Remember, it’s not just about the income—it's about the outcome and the lifestyle it enables. 🚀🏖️

Hey everyone, it’s Hutch, your host on the Multifamily Real Estate Experiment Podcast! Today, we're zooming in on the unique position of being a Limited Partner (LP) in real estate syndications. 🌍🤝
Being an LP means putting a lot of trust in the hands of general partners and management teams.
You don't get to make the big decisions; you have to rely on others to work in your best interest, and sometimes that can lead to moments where you might not agree with the decisions being made, like when to sell a property or how to handle management challenges. 🏗️💡
We delve into real scenarios where things didn’t go as planned. Deals where distributions were paused, management teams were shuffled more than once, and the overall business plan seemed to wobble.
Yet, through these challenges, the resilience and perspective gained can be immense.
This episode is packed with insights on maintaining the right mindset as an LP, understanding the risks, and the importance of diversification across various deals to safeguard and potentially enhance your investment portfolio. 📊✨
Tune in as we unpack the less talked about sides of passive investing and how to navigate the ups and downs effectively.
This is a must-listen for anyone considering or currently navigating the world of real estate investments as a limited partner! 🎧🚀

In today's episode, we're diving deep into the value of persistence and learning in the real estate game. 🏗️📈
We often face rejection, whether we're seeking loans, dealing with construction issues, or just trying to close deals. But here's a mindset shift for you: every "no" is not a setback but a step forward. Each rejection is an opportunity to refine your approach and enhance the value you bring to the table. 🚧🤔
Take it from the story of an employee from Don Wenner's book "Building an Elite Organization." This guy aced a rigorous evaluation but still asked, "What did I get wrong?" His willingness to learn from even minor errors set him apart and showcased a profound commitment to improvement.
In real estate, as in life, the ability to ask, "How can I improve?" and to seek out multiple rejections before accepting a 'no' as the final answer can be transformative. This attitude can propel you toward success and set you apart from the competition. 💪
Remember, it's not just about finding the right opportunities—it's also about becoming the right investor. Let's keep learning and growing together!

In this episode, we dive into the transformative power of real estate syndication. 🏢💪
Understanding syndication can open up new avenues for growth.
Syndication is all about pooling capital from multiple investors to purchase large income-producing assets.
Imagine teaming up with experts like myself, Ophir, Dr. Jameel, and others to buy a massive apartment complex.
By leveraging both "now" and "later" money—like funds from your retirement accounts—you can tap into lucrative real estate opportunities. 🏦
However, it's crucial to note that if you’re investing retirement funds, you must remain a passive investor and not manage the property directly.
Tune in as we break down the benefits, strategies, and key considerations for successful syndication.
Learn how to leverage low-interest rates and long-term financing to build wealth through real estate syndication.
If you're new to this concept, this episode is your perfect introduction to pooling capital and maximizing returns. 🌟💸

Hey everyone! 🌟🏠 In today’s episode, we’re diving into the power of an abundance mindset and how it can revolutionize your real estate investment strategy.
📍 Ever thought about why owning a small slice of a big watermelon might be better than owning a whole grape?
It’s all about the abundance mindset. Ownership is great, but owning slices of something larger can lead to even bigger gains.
By focusing on the long-term horizon and staying the course, those slices can eventually turn into one really big watermelon. 🍉
📍 This is what we call the economy of scale. Sure, you can keep buying single-family properties for the next decade, maxing out your loan limits. But what if there’s a better way?
Instead of aiming to buy one single-family home per year and waiting 20-30 years to secure your retirement, consider leveraging more freedom for yourself through multifamily syndications.
📍 Most of us crave time freedom, financial freedom, freedom of purpose, and location freedom.
Passive investment through real estate can provide that. Embracing the abundance mindset means recognizing the value of being a passive investor in real estate, where you can benefit from the collective power of syndication.
Join me as we explore how shifting your mindset can unlock new opportunities and bring you closer to your investment goals. 🚀💼

In today’s episode, I’m excited to share some powerful insights on how a growth mindset and collaboration can truly transform your real estate journey.
📍 I want to start with a lesson I learned from a first sergeant down in Pensacola, Florida.
He told me, "You are who you are because of the decisions you make, not your father.
Nobody is to be blamed or credited for the decisions you make." This wisdom hit me hard. It’s all about personal responsibility and the story you tell yourself.
📍 You can either tell yourself that you’re stuck because of your circumstances, or you can tell yourself that you can be better.
When Athena and I decided to transition from single-family properties to multifamily properties, we felt like we were on an island.
Our strategy changed when we embraced a growth mindset and realized we needed to be around people doing what we wanted to do.
📍 We embraced collaboration, partnership, and friendship to help us on our journey.
This wasn’t just about surrounding ourselves with successful people; it was about actively learning from them and growing together.
📍 Educating ourselves consistently and adopting an abundance mindset played a huge role in our success.
We realized that collaboration got us through challenging times and helped us see the bigger picture.
Join me as I dive into personal stories and practical insights on how a growth mindset and collaboration can elevate your real estate game. 🚀🏠

From Jamaica to the Marine Corps
Hutch was born and raised in Jamaica, in what used to be a coffee stand plantation.

Together, they form a balanced and effective team.
Learning Each Other: Before diving into a partnership, it’s crucial to understand each other’s strengths, weaknesses, and motivations.
This foundational knowledge helps create a strong, synergistic relationship.
Scaling Up: Starting from single-family properties and small multifamily units, the partnership has grown into tackling larger projects.
This growth is driven by the complementary skills and mutual understanding developed over time.

In this episode, we explore the age-old adage, "The person with the gold makes the rules," and how it applies to real estate investing. 💡🏠
We discuss the power dynamics in syndication and fund management, highlighting how having the capital – whether it's a million or 10 million – allows investors and fund managers to negotiate better deals. This leverage benefits everyone involved:
Operators: Gain confidence in taking down larger deals with the support of a strong capital stack.
Syndicators/Fund Managers: Achieve better negotiation terms and ensure favorable economics.
Passive Investors: Enjoy returns that aren’t diluted, thanks to the favorable terms secured by the fund manager.
We emphasize the importance of being able to walk away from unfavorable terms without the fear of missing out (FOMO). When you control the capital, you also have the power to set the rules. 🌟💪
Tune in to learn how capital can shift the power dynamics in real estate investing and ensure better returns for everyone involved! Stay tuned for more insights and strategies in the world of multifamily syndication. 🎧🔑

In the world of residential assisted living investments, understanding and targeting the right demographics is crucial.
The ideal location for these properties is where the majority population is aged 50 to 70, has a household income twice the median, and consists predominantly of homeowners and college graduates.
These demographics often involve adult children deciding on care solutions for their aging parents and are typically the ones financing it.
The strategy involves not only choosing locations close to where this demographic lives, works, and socializes but also ensuring the properties meet residential zoning requirements, avoiding complications like those from HOAs since these are not considered businesses.
This careful demographic targeting and property selection ensure the assisted living facilities are both needed and supported financially.

In this segment, we explore the transformative role of residential assisted living homes in providing essential care for seniors, including disabled veterans.
These homes are purchased as regular residential properties, which allows them to operate without the restrictions typically imposed by homeowners' associations on businesses.
This classification is crucial because the residents, due to their needs for assistance with daily activities such as mobility, personal hygiene, and feeding, are considered disabled and are thus protected under the Federal Fair Housing Act.
The video script highlights a significant opportunity for creating specialized homes that cater specifically to veterans, offering them the care they deserve in a respectful and dignified environment.
This approach not only supports a vulnerable segment of the population but also presents a viable business model that addresses an urgent social need.

In this insightful segment, our guest shares the compelling story of how a personal family challenge led to a revolutionary approach in real estate investment.
After her grandmother needed constant care following an injury, her father, a seasoned real estate investor, saw an opportunity beyond the typical investment strategies like fix-and-flip or apartment rentals. Instead of paying a steep $5,000 monthly for professional care, he opted to invest in an existing residential assisted living business.
This not only allowed his mother to live for free but also generated significant cash flow, turning what was initially a personal solution into a thriving business venture.
Now, they operate three care homes and mentor thousands nationwide, demonstrating the potent blend of doing good while doing well in the real estate market.

In this episode, Shelon Hutchinson, also known as Hutch the Marine Investor, speaks with Craig McGrother, Director of Business Development at Lone Star Capital.
The discussion centers around Lone Star Capital's mission to assist with the affordable housing crisis and help veterans gain time back through passive real estate investing.
Craig shares insights on his role, which involves outreach, structuring capital stacks, and raising equity for multifamily real estate opportunities.
He emphasizes the importance of building relationships with brokers and sellers, highlighting a successful acquisition in Houston facilitated by strong broker connections.
The conversation also delves into Lone Star Capital's conservative approach to identifying deals.
Craig explains that they focus on specific criteria such as unit count, return profiles, and risk adjustments to ensure they present viable opportunities to their investors.
Furthermore, Craig underscores the company's commitment to social impact by discussing their property tax abatement strategy, which helps preserve affordable housing units while benefiting both investors and communities.

Understanding the importance of detail-oriented communication during the acquisition process is crucial. How does effective communication with brokers and sellers impact successful property deals?
Craig highlights the significance of these relationships by sharing an example involving broker Jalil in Houston.
Due to Jalil's unique relationship with the seller, who preferred working with someone from a similar background, Jalil facilitated a deal where their company was the buyer of choice.
The proximity of a 300-unit property they already owned next door made this smaller acquisition an ideal fit, demonstrating the value of strong broker-seller relationships, economies of scale, and strategic communication in securing advantageous real estate deals.

How Do You Identify a Real Estate Deal Using a Conservative Approach?
In the real estate market, not every lead is a deal. How does one adopt a conservative approach to differentiate between the two before presenting opportunities to investors? According to Craig, it starts with meeting certain criteria.
For a deal to be considered, it must fit within specific parameters such as unit count and return profile. For example, they typically look for properties worth at least $30 million and with over 150 units.
Environmental factors also play a crucial role. Properties in flood zones or areas with FEMA problems are generally excluded due to the unnecessary risks involved.
A compelling return profile, adjusted for risk, is essential. Despite many claiming conservative underwriting, true risk-adjusted returns fall between a 16% to 19% IRR. This thorough vetting ensures only the most viable opportunities are presented to investors.

In this candid discussion, the speaker critiques the current military transition programs, suggesting they fall short of adequately preparing soldiers for civilian life.
Emphasizing the personal responsibility of soldiers to actively seek and prepare for their post-military careers, the speaker highlights the value of nonprofit programs, like the Special Operators Transition Foundation (SOTF), which he credits with significantly aiding his own transition 🌟.
These programs not only help veterans discover their post-service purpose but also equip them with the tools to pursue it.
Drawing on his experiences, he stresses the importance of continuous preparation for transition throughout one's military career, rather than deferring it until retirement is imminent 🕒.
This proactive approach ensures that veterans are well-prepared to manage their finances 💵, housing 🏠, and career paths in civilian life, rather than expecting an instantaneous adjustment.

Ideas flowed freely as they committed their thoughts to paper, outlining a vision that was not only ambitious but also achievable.
However, they understood that turning their vision into reality would require careful planning and adherence to a timeline.
It was a challenge they were ready to embrace, knowing that with dedication and perseverance, they could build a future filled with purpose and fulfillment.

From day one, all the way through to where you are at that moment, it's all been training. It's everything's beenbuilding up to that moment. Even ifit's your 40th flight or your hundreds,whatever, still everything builds uponitself. And then, when mishapshappen, you learn from them, and youhold them tight and you got to keepthem close right there.
This is for real. This isn't old hat.Every flight is the first flight, and youjust got to bring your A-game if youwill. Cliche, but it's got to be that youhave to be the top of yourperformance every single time. Youcan't let yourself down. You can't let your crew down.
Can't break that aircraft and let thenation down. So those are the kindsof things that get in so it seems like alot, but it really happens in fiveseconds, just to your brain.
Oh, man. Just listening to that justbrings me back to the days of,grinding on the flight line and it is sofulfilling every single day.

Summary
My father taught me, he said, when you get paid, pay yourself first. Soyou get money from whatever jobyou're doing. And what does thatmean? You got to put it in a savingsaccount you have to do somethingwith it where it's not used. Then yougot your investment play money. youcan take that and go and play in thestock market or whatever. Thenyou've got the money that comes inand just bounces right out into theIRA.
That money's in there. Max it out,every year, and don't even thinkabout it. then TSP came along. Oh,there you go. Percentage automatic,gone. So what I see in the bankgrowing in my checking account isjust what's left over from payingmyself.
And then from that goes the budgetof, okay, rent or mortgage, school orwhatever, fuel, groceries all that, billsall those kinds of things. That all getssectioned off. And then what's reallyleft, we can decide, oh, do we want todo something fun like go out todinner?" Or do we just throw it in theother account for safekeeping andbuild that up for bigger fun later on?
With that, the idea is to being debtfree. So another thing that I learned isget that good credit and maintain it.Don't use a credit card for credit.
Use it as a means to not deplete yourliquid cash and then pay it off in fullbecause you're not spending moneythat you don't have with a credit card.So you're building credit and mycredit is amazing. It's in the green. It'sway over. It's good.
Being debt free is the first thing.Paying things down so that you don'towe when you're leaving, becauseyou don't know what your stream isgoing to be your incoming stream isgoing to be.

Charles McKinney became interested in the space program after witnessing the launch of Columbia. However, it was the Challenger disaster that solidified his determination. He admired the bravery of the astronauts and their willingness to take risks to explore beyond the sky.
With the goal of becoming an astronaut in mind, McKinney developed a plan. He recognized the necessity of advanced science degrees and experience, noting that military aviators were often selected for space missions. To pursue this path, McKinney understood that he needed to enter the Navy's flight program.
His journey began with a focus on academic excellence in high school, concentrating on science and math. McKinney then attended the Georgia Institute of Technology, earning a degree in civil engineering. From there, he entered the Navy aviation pipeline, starting with Aviation Officer Candidate School in Florida and progressing through flight school.
Despite facing setbacks, such as not being selected for the Tactical Jets pipeline, McKinney remained resilient. He adapted his plan and chose to fly helicopters instead. Mentally and physically pivoting, he successfully completed the helicopter pipeline and was eventually assigned to fly the H-53 in Sicily.
McKinney's career took off in Sicily, where he experienced thrilling flying opportunities across the Mediterranean and the Middle East. Despite the challenges, his determination and adaptability propelled him forward, laying the foundation for a successful career in naval aviation.

Wyatt makes some great points about leveraging the VA loan and utilizing it to start building your real estate portfolio. Here are some key takeaways from the interview:
- Wyatt Simon started his real estate journey after reading "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and realizing the potential of assets to generate passive income.
- He strategically moved to a more affordable market (Omaha, Nebraska) to kickstart his investment journey.
- Wyatt began by purchasing single-family homes but eventually scaled up to multifamily properties.
- He emphasized the importance of risk management in real estate investing, highlighting the value of having a stable income and cushioning for unexpected expenses.
- Wyatt recommends using the VA loan to start with house hacking (buying a duplex, triplex, or fourplex), allowing veterans to get into land lording with minimal upfront investment.
- He also suggests using the VA loan annually to continue acquiring properties, leveraging the refinancing option to unlock equity and fund future purchases.
- Veterans can purchase up to a four-unit property with a VA loan, and if partnering with another trusted veteran, they can buy up to seven units.
Overall, Wyatt's insights provide a practical roadmap for veterans looking to enter the real estate market and build wealth through strategic property investments.

What are some of the ways that you're giving back to ensure that people can have a roadmap that you have used to generate financial freedom in your late 20s? Great question. So I spent about three months last year writing a book. It's the Investor's Playbook toScaling a Portfolio. The actual title is Zero to A Hundred: the Real Estate Investors' Playbook to Scaling a Rental Portfolio, and it's the book that I wish I had, right? All the research is out there, but it's all so many different ways, and you gotta listen to BiggerPockets episodes, and you gotta do all these things.
It's like now I've just compiled everything to what I wish I had, and I'm putting it out there. There's no chat GPT in this book. It is; it was me on a bench just typing away. And so I'm really excited for that to launch inMarch here. You can pick it up on Amazon, and yeah, I hope it benefits all the people out there.
Great! So look, while a lot of people go from zero to 100 in their bad behavior or bad attitude. This man is teaching you how to go from zero to 100 to improve the financial trajectory of your bloodline.
So pick up the book in March, and I trust that you find some good value in that information.

The first house that I bought, it was my 46th offer. It took me six months of after work, going out, looking for properties, putting in offers, getting rejected.
No one wants to work with a 22-year-old who is trying to put an offer his first one. So I put the poor realtors that I worked with went through the ringer with me, and we finally found one. And then after we closed on it Iwas responsible for finding it, all of the rehab and managing it.
So for another six months After work, guys. So from five to 10, I was going over to the property and painting it, rehabbing it, doing the flooring, installing the vanity, painting the kitchen cabinets, sanding them. So all of those little things, and I'll give you another thing.
I didn't know how to do any of that. I was never taught it. And so I didn't know how to do it. So what I did, there's a guy on my basketball team from college that I knew was very handy. He grew up on the farm. So I said, Hey, Nate, my buddy, I was like, I'll pay you 25 an hour. We will come out after work and we'll do this thing and then I'm just going to be your grunt.
Whatever you need, I'm here. I'm just here to help you. You teach me whatever. And we'll just start doing this thing together. It took us six months. We were finally able to get it done. And the finished product, we were able to rent it and then refinance all of the capital back to my parents,

The problem was I read this book when I was 21, and I was like a broke, fresh out of college kid, with absolutely no money. At the time I was living in Colorado, I couldn't imagine buying a property there. The assets there were so expensive,
I didn't have a W2 job, and I was commissioned only. So, I wasn't able to get a loan and I didn't have two years of history for it. And so eventually this led me to making the move and taking a W2 job in Omaha, Nebraska. That is awesome. Yeah. I purposely moved to Omaha is a whole lotlesser priced market, right?
And I was able to get a loan right away then because I had a W2 job and that solved those two problems. And then I just started off on the journey of buying assets and man, it didn't start. It wasn't quick, right? In my first year I bought two properties, it was a duplex and a single-family home.
The next year I bought three properties. All single-family homes. The next year I bought six properties, all single-family homes. And then the next year, that fourth year is when things started to really take off. I bought 20 properties single-family homes, because I set up that direct seller system.
And then the year after that, I bought another 20 single-family homes and three multifamily buildings. And it just started to scale from there.

It was right outside of college. I read the book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and I'll never forget this. So I was sitting in a desk job. I had to wear a full suit and tie to go to work and talk on the phone to farmers. Like I, there was one time I got sent home because I forgot my belt and I was a 45-minute drive home.
And they sent me home and said, you have to bring a belt to work. And I just hated corporate America. Hated it. Okay. While I was working in corporate America, I read the book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and I never forgot the concept. It was like wow, so, assets can make you money while you sleep so that you don't have to work for money.
And I latched onto that. I said, okay, there's got to be a way to do this.

And we said, Hey, let's, we're going to use this BRRRR strategy. So for those of you that don't know what BRRRR strategy means, it's when you buy a property, you renovate it, B R R R R, you buy, renovate it, you then rent it, you then refinance it, and repeat. Okay. And the value of the BRRRR strategy for me was the fact that I was able to recycle a line of credit because I was able to buy a property.
Improve the value and then refinance all of the money that was initially invested back out to my parents and pay them back interest on top of it, and then pick up a property for quote-unquote free. And after the proof of concept happened on the first one, then I was like, Oh my gosh, I just need to do more and more and more of these.
And fast forward, I've done it 46 times successfully now. And that's. What's led to, to where we're at.

Today we speak with Jake Marmulstein who is the CEO and Co-founder of the tech company Groundbreaker. Back in 2011, he underwrote real estate investments at a growing real estate investment trust firm in Chicago. While there, he experienced firsthand how cumbersome preparing investment materials were and how handling investor relations was done with cobbled-together solutions like spreadsheets, decks, file storage for documents, and emails.
During this time, he recognized an opportunity for real estate investment firms to embrace new technology that could unlock pent-up growth. So he and his co-founder created Groundbreaker and developed software to automate real estate fundraising, investment management, and investor relations.
“Because when your firm runs better, your investors feel it!”

- The Financial Independence Retire Early (F.I.R.E.) movement
- FIRE movement 4% rule calculation
- Passive income goal x 25 = amount to invest

Real Estate Investor • Syndicator & Educator • Best-Selling Author • Speaker • Chief Petty Officer, US Navy
Tim is an active duty Chief Petty Officer in the United States Navy and has been serving his country for 14 years. Now stationed on shore duty in Pensacola, Florida, he is fully pursuing his dream of owning and operating multi-family real estate and helping others realize their financial freedom goals!
Tim has been investing in real estate since 2011 where he purchased his first single family residence with the intention of forcing appreciation and flipping for a profit. That was also his first “house-hack,” and he quickly learned the benefits of long-term buy and hold real estate were much more aligned with his goals.
**Through analyzing hundreds of multi-family properties, Tim has built an incredible network of real estate professionals, owns, controls, or has directly been involved in over 1,000 income producing units and looks forward to acquiring 5,000 multi-family units within the next three years.
Through his years in the military, Tim has not only learned the power of high-level leadership, teamwork, discipline, and grit; he became a certified Command Financial Specialist, educating hundreds of Sailors and Marines on personal finance and creating financial freedom… Tim rapidly found another life passion!**
As the Financial Freedom and Syndication Chief on the incredible platform, Active Duty Passive Income (ADPI), Tim is helping active, veteran, reserve, and other military affiliated personnel realize their financial freedom goals through real estate investing.
Tim also co-authored the #1 Best Selling book with ADPI titled: Military House Hacking!
Tim earned a Bachelor's degree in Organizational Management from Ashford University while on active duty.
Tim is now a Senior Managing Partner of both Kelly Housing Group and ADPI Capital where he and his partners invest in and syndicate multi family property in the affordable and workforce housing spaces with a focus on apartment communities, mobile home communities, and storage facilities.
