Key Takeaways:Building a successful customer acquisition funnel requires a well-rounded approach, including top-of-funnel awareness, middle-of-funnel engagement, and bottom-of-funnel conversion.Many businesses make the mistake of focusing solely on customer acquisition without considering the importance of upselling and nurturing relationships with existing customers.Utilizing AI technology in marketing can provide significant advantages, such as anonymous email retargeting and personalized direct mail campaigns.The Importance of a Full Funnel Approach:In today's rapidly changing marketing landscape, it's crucial for businesses to adopt a full funnel approach to customer acquisition. This means focusing not only on top-of-funnel awareness but also on middle-of-funnel engagement and bottom-of-funnel conversion. Josh and Mike discuss the common mistakes businesses make when it comes to building their customer acquisition funnels.Mike shares an example of a skincare coach who was successful in customer acquisition but lacked a back-end offering. This resulted in a decline in profitability as the cost of acquisition increased. On the other hand, Josh highlights his own experience of focusing primarily on high-end programs, neglecting the need for lower-priced products to attract a wider range of customers.To address these issues, businesses should consider offering a variety of products and programs at different price points to cater to different customer segments. This allows customers to enter the business at their comfort level and gradually move up the ladder as they build trust and confidence in the brand.Leveraging AI in Marketing:Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the marketing industry, offering new opportunities for businesses to streamline their processes and improve customer experiences. Mike and Josh discuss the potential of AI in marketing and how it can be utilized to enhance various aspects of a business.One AI tool that Mike recommends is OpenSend, which enables anonymous email retargeting. This tool captures the email addresses of website visitors who did not provide their contact information and allows businesses to send targeted emails to these individuals. While this approach may seem aggressive, it can be effective in converting potential customers who have shown interest in a product or service.Another AI tool discussed is PostPilot, which leverages direct mail to engage with customers. This tool can send personalized postcards to website visitors, even if they did not provide their contact information. By combining digital and physical marketing channels, businesses can stand out in a crowded marketplace and increase their chances of conversion.Embracing the Future of Marketing:As AI continues to advance, businesses must adapt and embrace these technologies to stay competitive. While there may be concerns about the impact of AI on jobs and authenticity, it is essential to recognize the potential benefits it can bring to marketing strategies.By leveraging AI tools like OpenSend and PostPilot, businesses can enhance their customer acquisition efforts and provide personalized experiences to potential customers. However, it is crucial to strike a balance between automation and human touch, ensuring that customers still feel valued and connected to the brand.In conclusion, building a successful customer acquisition funnel requires a comprehensive approach that encompasses all stages of the customer journey. By offering a range of products and programs, leveraging AI technologies, and maintaining a human touch, businesses can optimize their marketing strategies and drive long-term success.

Most people will face personal and professional challenges at some point in their life. Whether it’s an addiction, cancer, or even just bad luck, everyone has a story that isn’t always told or known. And today, we’re focusing on 4 traits that successful people all seem to have that have helped them not only survive but emerge on the other side with incredible careers and success.
My guest today is Caleb Johnson. He’s been an entrepreneur since he was 18; he’s done five real estate multifamily syndications and is now a full-time real estate investor and business owner. He’s also the host of From Trial to Triumph podcast, where he talks to people about the challenging times they’ve faced in life.
With that in mind, Caleb joins me today for a wonderful conversation about the four traits that accelerate success in life and business: responsibility to others, giving, making decisions, and never quitting. If you’re ready to make these traits your own–and find out how others have used them to make it through extraordinary circumstances–this episode is for you.
Key Takeaways with Caleb Johnson
- How Caleb went from being “sick and tired of being sick and tired” as an antisocial, troubled teen to finding joy and inspiration in life.
- Why most successful entrepreneurs have been through some form of hell on earth to get to where they are now.
- Why these four characteristics define so many people who survive challenges and emerge successful and triumphant on the other side.
- The power of living in triumph and happiness and joy–no matter your circumstances.
- The dangers of settling for the comforts of the unknown when you need to push your life forward.

In 2020, we were afraid to go anywhere. 2021 turned into the greatest year for real estate of all time. In 2022, we watched interest rates spiral out of control and dramatically shift the market, and we’re now living in the wake of these major shifts, both positive and negative.
So, what can we expect moving forward? To help answer that question, I’m talking to Neal Bawa. Neal is the founder of UGro and Grocapitus and known as the Mad Scientist of Multifamily with a $1B real estate portfolio and over 900 investors. Based in the Bay Area, he uses cutting edge analytics and tech tools to give himself–and his students–a powerful edge in the world of multifamily investing.
In today’s conversation, Neal and I talk about why we’re all better off buying properties now than we were 18 months ago, why this may be our best opportunity to buy since 2009, and what the future holds for our industry.
Key Takeaways with Neal Bawa
- Why Neal is still extremely bullish about multifamily.
- How to frame today’s market as a winning opportunity for your prospective investors and limited partners.
- Why syndicators should be worried about overpaying–and why now’s a great time to invest in investor education.
- What to expect in 2024, why so many syndicators are going to be out of business a year from now, and how to do your best to not become one of them.

I’m thrilled to welcome my good friend back on the podcast as we dissect the Entrepreneurial Cheat Code by taking it a step further and digging into how to scale and create a culture that drives success in your business.
If you haven’t checked out part 1 with Mike, I highly recommend that you do by going right here. For those that don’t know, Mike was my former CMO, and now he’s the Founder and CEO of One 10 Media, a seven-figure digital marketing agency focused on e-commerce brands. You’ve likely seen his clients on shows like the Joe Rogan Experience and Shark Tank.
In today’s conversation, Mike will be asking most of the questions as we discuss the techniques and strategies that I use in real estate and that he uses in digital marketing.
You’ll learn why they apply in so many different fields, why company culture is so much more important than acquiring customers at all costs, and how to build your schedule around getting things done and not burning out. This is another must-listen if you’re launching a business or looking to take yours to the next level.
Key Takeaways with Mike Gleba
- Why great employees are your number one priority, not your customers.
- How to niche yourself down, pick one thing, and get very good at it.

Purchasing any property comes with a certain amount of risk. And that’s undoubtedly true with multifamily real estate investing. But if you never take any risk, you’re not growing your portfolio or your business. And if you spent 10 years working on Wall Street like today’s guest, you’d understand investment risk very well and how to manage it.
Craig Berger is the Founder of Avid Realty Partners and has been an active real estate investor for over 15 years. He oversees deal sourcing, underwriting, fundraising, capital markets, operations, and asset management. Since 2015, Avid Realty has grown its portfolio with approximately 2,000 multifamily units worth more than $275M.
Prior to founding Avid Realty Partners, he worked for over 10 years as a highly acclaimed semiconductor equity research analyst at Smith Barney Citigroup and FBR Capital Markets, among others. With his expertise, he’s guided Avid Realty through 6 exits with zero realized loss and a 33% average IRR.
In our conversation, Craig shares what it takes to have incredible success as a real estate investor. In his words, it takes persistence, grit, determination, and being able to analyze deals to minimize risk while being willing to go all in and be willing to fail. If you find yourself getting caught up in the headlines and fears about inflation, you’ll miss out on opportunities that are available.
Key Takeaways with Craig Berger
- Why fears about inflation should be nearing the end and why there will be great opportunities in the next 12 months.
- Why Craig has focused on building his portfolio in Texas and how state laws factor into those decisions.
- How real estate investors need to have grit and determination to be truly successful.
- Taking risks is essential in real estate investing, but minimizing risk helps to ensure a successful outcome.

If you’re new to real estate investing, would you step up to the plate and swing for the fences? Or would you rather take that first pitch, give it some thought, and take a more comfortable and calculated swing with your money on the line?
While it’s important to have big targets and big goals, trying to make everything happen all at once and hit a home run right off the bat is rarely a recipe for success–and today’s guest knows this well.
I’m thrilled to be talking to Arn Cenedella, Founder of Spark Investment Group. He’s a real estate expert with 35 years of experience as a broker and investor and owns 1100 multifamily units with over $138M AUM.
In today’s conversation, Arn walks us through the last deal he closed and why fixed-rate debt is so important in our current economy. We’ll also talk about why the finish line is always years away and how having just one or two great relationships from the start can make a huge difference in building a $100M+ portfolio.
Key Takeaways with Arn Cenedella
- Why you shouldn’t swing for the fences and try to pack an entire career’s worth of success into one deal.
- What makes long-term bank and agency financing so important.
- Why Arn prefers build-to-rent opportunities after completion.

I've got some exciting news to share, so I decided to jump on the mic and talk about it with all of you today.
We recently acquired a nice little 28-unit apartment property called 28 Riverside. You'd probably want to ask, "Josh, after doing 19 syndications and buying 4,500 units, several 300, 500, and 700+ unit buildings, why would you bother with such a small building?"
The answer is very simple: good deals go fast and are hard to find. And no matter how many residential or small multifamily deals you've done, a property like 28 Riverside is a great starter deal or a perfect deal for someone like me.
In today's episode, I want to give you a clear explanation of the why behind 28 Riverside. I'll walk you through the strategy we're using to add value fast and how to get a similar property cash flowing in your portfolio within a year.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- Why deal size doesn’t matter when you have full-time employees you need to keep busy.
- The one thing I’m always looking at when I underwrite deals.
- How to make sure your financials set you up to cash flow and turn a profit.
- How we found 28 Riverside–and how you can find a similar deal.

We often talk about raising capital, but how do you bring in big money? As in really BIG money? We're talking more than $2 billion from broker-dealers and investment advisors?
Joining me to talk about one of my favorite aspects of real estate investing is my new friend Brad Blazar. Brad is the author of the fantastic book Winning at the Capital Game and a highly sought-after speaker when it comes to raising capital and with good reason.
Don't take my word for it. In fact, before recording this podcast, Brad was leading a bootcamp with people who'd traveled as far as England and Australia just to learn from him.
So, if you're looking to buy your next $100 million asset by leveraging broker-dealers, Brad knows precisely how to do it and is here to share his secret sauce. In this conversation, we talk about why there's no better investment than real estate (and how to prove it to your potential investors), how to go from raising $2 million to hundreds of millions, and the common mistakes you don't want to make on your way up.
Key Takeaways with Brad Blazar
- How rising interest rates have actually made things better for Brad.
- Why you’re never going to raise $2 billion by yourself–and how to scale with syndication.
- How to survive due diligence with broker-dealers in a notoriously litigious industry.
- What broker-dealers want to see in a potential deal.
- How Brad transitioned from being a landlord to raising money for himself.

Imagine that you’re still in your twenties for a moment. You’ve got no track record, no ownership experience, little to no equity, and nothing to your name other than some student loan debt. Perhaps you were in the same boat before your first deal.
Here’s where things get interesting. Will Matheson and his twin brother were in this exact situation in 2017 when they decided to start their own company at Matheson Capital. Six years later, they’ve acquired over $100 million in real estate, done over a dozen multifamily and student housing deals, and delivered an astounding 40% internal rate of return for their investors.
I absolutely love hearing success stories like this and I’m thrilled to share this conversation. In today’s episode, we dig into what exactly he’s doing differently in his business that has led to his success, how he started small and built a proven record of success, and how the market (and his deals) have changed post-COVID.
Key Takeaways with Will Matheson
- Why it’s so much harder to find deals set up to cash flow quickly post-COVID.
- How Will underwrites deals and picks and chooses markets.
- The five things to NOT do when you’re starting a business or overseeing a deal.
- How the current market has gotten “cowboys” out of the space, creating a better market for serious investors.
- How to structure your company’s growth in a sustainable, holistic way.

What does success as an entrepreneur mean to you? Does it mean having a million dollars in the bank? Is it all about building a 7 or 8-figure income? Or does the journey as an entrepreneur mean much more than that?
Today’s episode is a very special one because we’ll be talking about what we like to call, the entrepreneurial cheat code. And my guest, Mike Gleba, is a great friend and former colleague. Mike is the Founder and CEO of One 10 Media, a highly successful digital marketing agency that helps DTC eCommerce brands run paid social, email, and SMS ad campaigns.

Over the past year, there’s been plenty of uncertainty with a potential recession, rising interest rates and inflation, and a very competitive housing market. Could we be seeing signs that the markets are bouncing back?
Once again, I’m excited to check in with my good friend Daren Blomquist, VP of Market Economics at Auction.com. He always delivers the goods with information and data that is beyond helpful to anyone wondering what is happening in the marketplace and what we can expect to see in the short and long term.
In this conversation, we dig into how interest rates have affected the housing market, where housing prices should be relative to income, the contradictory nature of our economy, and the surprising places where Daren sees distressed and discounted assets for sale.
Key Takeaways with Daren Blomquist
- Why Daren believes we’re seeing a bounce back in the housing market in spite of soaring interest rates.
- Why the market has made it all but impossible to build to fix our supply and demand problems.
- How consumer sentiment is still strong despite high prices and layoffs in tech.
- Why Western markets, Texas, Tennessee, and the Carolinas are all suddenly seeing an influx of distressed and discounted assets.

Key Takeaways with Yakov Smart

In today’s episode, I wanted to jump on the mic and take you through a property we call 220 Chevy. I’ll walk you through everything we did, from the beginning to how we’re nearing the completion of a true value-add.
When we bought the Forest Ridge Apartments complex in April 2021, it was generating $115,000/month on 200 occupied units. Fast forward to 18 months later, we’re bringing in $184,000 a month and have raised its value from $11.65M to $18.4M.
You’ll learn how we successfully filled our vacancies, raised rents by an average of 70% across units, and created long-term wealth for our investors and forever passive income.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- What made 220 Chevy such an appealing property and investment opportunity.
- The challenge of filling units during the winter in Ohio.
- How taking management quality from C- to A makes it easy to raise rents without dealing with evictions or move outs.

When I first got started in real estate, back in my house flipping days, I would worry about a lot of things. I’d worry about the interest rates, turning a profit, getting into the deal at the right price, and how I would exit the deal. Sound familiar?
Eventually, I got tired of doing flips and the sleepless nights that came with it and found a way to build a nine-figure portfolio of forever passive income. Fast forward to today, I’m sleeping much better and not worrying about how I’m going to pay my bills.
In today’s episode, I want to tell you how I did it. You’ll learn why I gave up on residential investing, what I needed to know to break into multifamily, and how I use these techniques to create more income and equity in one year than I could ever get out of ten years of residential investing.
The Forever Passive Income Live Virtual Event
The next FPI Live Virtual Event is coming up on May 19-21, 2023 where I’ll be sharing the step-by-step blueprint on how we raised tens of millions in capital and acquired over 4,300 units. Buy your FPI tickets today by visiting ForeverPassiveIncome.com
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- Why commercial multifamily is much easier to scale than residential investing.
- How I learned to underwrite commercial multifamily deals, read T12s and T3s, and raise the capital to make our deals work.
- Why commercial multifamily protects you from rising interest rates, needing to find buyers, and allows you to achieve so much more in so much less time.

One thing that many real estate investors have in common is they have multiple income streams. Whether it’s W-2 income, businesses they own, stock, or real estate, however you’re making money, you need to understand the two types of taxes.
Here’s the thing: our tax code is set up to benefit the elite. It punishes employees and employers alike–and is designed to work this way.
In today’s episode, I’ll explain why people like Bill Gates and Elon Musk would choose to take home a salary of $1 (spoiler alert: it’s not because they’re feeling charitable or selfless!), why the elite are playing a completely different game when it comes to taxes, and why true passive income gives you the power to turn a profit while reporting a loss.

Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- Why business owners, the wealthy, and the super-rich never want to take a W-2.
- The key difference between W-2 and capital gains income–and what makes capital gains better.
- Why true passive income comes to you tax-free and can even help you achieve a negative K-1 on positive cash flow.

If your first real estate deal involved buying a simple single family home or duplex, lining up financing and then quickly escalated into getting overly involved with every step of the process, you probably thought to yourself, “This isn’t a new financial future–this is another job!”
Well, today’s guest, Flint Jamison, had this exact feeling–and that’s why he got into multifamily and build-to-rent communities. He spent 20 years in the aerospace industry and managed a $120 million program modifying aircraft for the military, but has been in real estate since 2018.
Now, at Vestus Capital, he’s helping his partners break free from the Wall Street rollercoaster and find financial freedom and peace of mind through multifamily investing. And the best part is, he’s sharing how he does it with us here today.
In this conversation, we get into the 94-unit townhome community he’s raising capital on right now, the three phases of build-to-rent communities, and how to make sure you’re not giving yourself an extra job as you build your real estate portfolio.

If there’s one thing I love about what I get to do every day, it’s speaking to other real estate investors and medical professionals who have already helped so many others and want to use their success to give back and help others. And this is one of those episodes where today’s guest is doing precisely that.
Jason Balara is the CEO and co-founder of Lark Capital Group. His focus has primarily been on B-class and C-class value-add multifamily deals in the southeast, and he’s also added commercial real estate assets to his portfolio of over 600 multifamily units and 400+ units of self-storage. He’s also a veterinary surgeon with a passion for real estate and the host of the Know Your Why podcast.
In our conversation, you’ll hear about his new passion project of creating his first fund to combine real estate opportunities for limited partners and give back to other veterinarians and help them achieve financial freedom. Jason also shares important questions that LPs should be asking sponsors and syndicators to de-risk their deals, and we’ll also talk about some of the challenges that investors are facing in a market where deal flow is slower than last year.

Anyone who has built a portfolio with real estate is likely familiar with the venture capital and syndication worlds. But today, we’re going to talk about how high-net-worth investors can add alternative assets to diversify their portfolios with higher returns.
Today’s guest is Andy Hagans. Andy is a serial entrepreneur, the co-founder of WealthChannel, and the host of the Alternative Investment Podcast. He’s created a platform that connects high-net-worth investors and sponsors with alternative investment deals.
In this conversation, we dig into how to choose winning investments (and investors) and how to start investing in these assets through crowdfunding, diversification, illiquidity premiums, and more. If you’re looking to add alternative investments to your portfolio without getting burned, this episode is a must-listen.
Key Takeaways with Andy Hagans
- Why more non-institutional investors are embracing alternative investments than ever before.
- Why even many traditional financial advisors are starting to embrace a 50/30/20 model including alts.
- How to meet possible partners, sponsors, and GPs if you’ve never done a deal before.
- How alts protect investors from market volatility and banking collapses.
- Why you can’t simply write a check and expect to get rich–but you can find great deals that take advantage of your passion and expertise.

When someone enters the multifamily real estate investing landscape, there are several paths to choose from. Some have the resources and assets available, and some seek out VCs, syndications, or private lenders. But there is another option that can be attractive to both the buyer and the seller: seller financing.
Here to talk about how he’s using this strategy in his portfolio is Christian Osgood. Christian is the founder of MultiFamilyStrategy.com. He’s bought over 100 rental properties and a waterfront resort, and he and his business partner have done a ton of creative financing to get private money.
In this conversation, Christian and I dig into how to find creative deals that work, what he’s doing to double (or triple!) his investing in the next 12 months, and the most important factors he looks for when using seller financing to make the deal.

Key Takeaways with Christian Osgood
- The importance of meeting every owner in your market.
- The questions you need to ask when using seller financing to make a deal work.
- Why Christian gets long-term cash-flowing, fixed-rate debt on every deal.
- Reasons why investors should evaluate the deal first and the debt second.
- Why sellers are likely to sell when financing is creative and generates a win-win.
- Why being a visionary or an integrator alone is not enough to be successful.

What does it take to purchase $1.1 billion in real estate? I’m glad you asked because today’s guest has not only done it, but he’s teaching other MDs how they can do it too.
I’m thrilled to welcome Pranay Parikh to the podcast. Pranay is a hugely successful doctor, podcaster, and course creator who’s created tons of opportunities in passive investing for others, with a focus on helping doctors become entrepreneurs in real estate.
When Pranay graduated from med school, he had a solid salary, which came with a ton of debt. Instead of playing the stock market, he paid off his loans, did his first syndication, and fell in love with multifamily investing.
In today’s conversation, Pranay and I get into how he’s looking at multifamily in the wake of a frozen market and the plays investors can make to take advantage of opportunities as we approach a potential recession. We’ll also talk about what investors need to know to de-risk their businesses and how busy medical professionals can add real estate investing to their portfolios!

In today’s episode, I wanted to present a case study on successfully forcing capital improvements and increasing rents to generate real appreciation in your properties in 12 months.
Now, there’s one thing that you have to prepare for on a project like this: an increase in vacancies. And short-term vacancy means you’re bringing in less income. But this is a short-term pain for long-term gain approach.
In this case study, I’ll show you how our 10-step process helped us turn over 140 units in less than a year, adding $6 million in real appreciation while keeping our investors happy with their quarterly payments.

No one has ever said passive investing was easy. You can’t write checks and expect the money to come pouring in without putting in the work, and you can’t make things happen without a solid foundation and strategy.
I’m thrilled to share this conversation with today’s guest, Michael Roeder. Michael is the co-founder of Granite Towers Equity Group. He and his partner Dan have done 25 large multifamily acquisitions with thousands of units in markets including New Mexico, Texas, Florida, Minnesota, Alabama, and Arkansas.
In his newest book, 4 Steps to Successful Passive Investing, he walks us through the proven process that has helped him succeed. In today’s podcast, he shares how he scaled his investing from two small deals to a number of very big ones (and the lessons he learned along the way), how to get ahead as a general partner or passive investor, and the opportunities we may see in possible distressed markets to come.
Key Takeaways with Michael Roeder
- Why Mike and Dan are so focused on B and C-class multifamily projects.
- How our school system fails to teach kids about financial markets and investing.
- Five strategies to de-risk your business.
- Mike and Dan’s four steps to successful passive investing.
- Why you need to pay more for better talent.
- Why you should start investing in your backyard, but jump into growth markets soon after.

If you’ve watched successful entrepreneurs, founders, or investors on YouTube, TED Talks, or social media, you’ve likely heard one piece of advice a million times: follow your passion. People who’ve “made it” love to tell those who haven’t that all they need to do is follow their passion, and the pieces will fall into place.
Not only do I think it’s terrible advice, I think it’s a total crock if I’m being honest.
So today, I wanted to share a very candid solocast about why my career hasn’t just been about “following my passion.” I’ll also share what I think is a much more valuable piece of advice–and one that can help you find true happiness and joy in whatever you do as you achieve greater success.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- Why it’s so much more important to find out what you’re good at than to follow your passion.
- Why using our superpowers makes us happier and helps us find joy in our work.

In the wake of our changing market, inflation, and rising interest rates, some operators are hurting. At the same time, there are many investors who couldn’t be more excited about the future. Even in tough economic times, with the right investments, your portfolio can not only weather the storm, but grow–and today’s guest is living proof.
Rob Beardsley is a founder and executive at Lone Star Capital. Focused on workforce housing in Dallas and Houston, he’s done acquisitions of over 2,500 units. In his new book, Structuring and Raising Debt & Equity for Real Estate, he walks readers through various types of lenders, equity investors, and deal structures to create better investments and how to attract debt and equity partners.
In our conversation, Rob and I get into what he’s done to protect his investments over the last year, important strategies that every operator needs to be thinking about right now (including how to spend your cash on hand), and what you need to know before you do your first syndication or joint venture with institutional capital at any level.
Key Takeaways with Rob Beardsley
- The importance of reading the fine print when doing debt deals.
- The four types of investors–and the one Rob likes to work with most.
- What you need to know before you underwrite your first deal.
- When is the best time to renovate, and when is the worst time to do it.
- How needing to sell or refi at the wrong time can do damage to your reputation–and how to de-risk your investments at every stage.

One of the things that I’m most proud of is how we’re doing with deep value-add for our properties. And today, I want to walk you through what we’ve done since purchasing the property at 296 Triskett.
As a refresher, this is a 296-unit, all-garden-style complex in the Lakewood submarket of Cleveland. Over the course of eight months, we invested $2 million in the property and scaled with massive success. We managed to avoid labor issues, we didn’t get clobbered by supply chain shortages, and we were able to increase rent by over $300 in over 140 units.
Today’s episode will be a bit of a case study on how we did it. You’ll learn how we financed the deal and our CapEx, how we managed our construction budget so effectively, avoided the typical snags and obstacles, and created massive value along the way.
Key Takeaways
- Why we bought a 296-unit building with over 43 unoccupied units, low rents, pests, unhappy tenants, and an unsafe parking lot–and how we solved all of these problems.
- How the deal required us to get our CapEx done within two years–and how we spent our money to reduce our long-term overhead.
- Why delivering a quality tenant experience makes it so much easier to bump rents and increase profits.
- How due diligence, good oversight, great vendors, reliable crews, and good data give you the power to massively scale your CapEx.

One of the best ways to grow your network, find investors and make deals is networking. And today’s guest has mastered the art of putting on a great networking event.
Nick Gray is the bestselling author of The 2-Hour Cocktail Party: How to Build Big Relationships with Small Gatherings. I’m a big believer in face-to-face events to help grow brands, recruit partners, and find deals, and Nick’s unique strategy makes these events even more powerful and productive.
In our conversation, Nick and I dig deep into how to host a successful networking event and how to market a great party that connects you to private capital. You’ll discover how to bring the party to you instead of going to a boring party, why saying “no sales” makes it so much easier to sell to great people, and the beauty of sitting back, listening, and asking questions.
Key Takeaways with Nick Gray
- Nick’s proven formula for becoming super connected in any city–even if you’ve just moved there.
- How to raise $2 million from two-hour cocktail parties (and why you don’t want to only invite real estate people).
- Why so many networking functions are boring and unproductive.
- How to be seen as a super-connector and an expert.
- How the NICK method for 2-hour cocktail parties gets people excited, organically inspires conversation, and can boost your career–whatever it is.

Here to walk you through how to do it is my friend Erik Oliver. He's a cost segregation expert at the Cost Segregation Authority, where he digs into tax codes and how to make them work for you.
In today’s episode, we dive into the major tax changes signed into law during the Trump administration, how to make the most of depreciation regardless of your investing style, and how Erik used these strategies himself to turn a $50,000 tax bill into a $140,000 deduction–and add a new property to his portfolio along the way!
Key Takeaways with Erik Oliver
- Why W-2 earners are investing in short-term rentals to offset their income.
- How cost segregation can save clients tens of thousands of dollars in taxes for both residential and commercial investors.
- How bonus depreciation works and the different ways you can use it in your business.
- How Erik conquered his fears and dove headfirst into real estate after getting burned on his first rental property.
- The difference between a tax advisor and a tax preparer–and why you want the former, not the latter.

We've all been dealing with high inflation for some time now, which will likely continue for the next 6-12 months. But that doesn't mean opportunities don't exist for real estate investors to take advantage of if you know what to look for.
Today's guest, Bronson Hill, understands this better than most people. He's the author of How To Use Inflation to Your Advantage, a free ebook you can download at BronsonEquity.com. He's also built a portfolio with over $200M of multifamily assets, including ATMs, gas, and car washes–to name just a few.
In our conversation, Bronson and I dig into how investors can take advantage of today's inflationary environment, how to buy assets that pay you to take out debt and what you can do to master the art of talking to investors.
He'll also walk you through some of the deals he's done, the franchises he's built and sold, and why the most successful salespeople you've ever met seem to spend so little time talking about business!
Key Takeaways with Bronson Hill
- Specific questions to ask any new private investor.
- How to position yourself as an expert and a leader in a group of private investors.
- What Bronson learned from raising his first $10M–and how he ended up recruiting over $30M in private capital.
- Why Bronson exited the world of medical device sales to pursue a career as a full-time entrepreneur.
- Reasons why investing in single family real estate is much more difficult to scale.

If you’ve done a few residential deals, but you’ve never bought an apartment complex or maybe you’re fairly new to multifamily investing, today’s episode is for you.
Today, I’m going to walk you through how big the perfect multifamily deal should be, what it should cost you, where you’ll find it, and the things you’re going to do to create unique value while you own it.
You’ll learn about some of the deals I’ve done in the past that meet these criteria, what makes these deals so good for investors looking to take the leap into multifamily, and why this approach to investing is so much more secure than rehab flips or wholesaling.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- The three components that create a perfect first multifamily deal.
- Why I prefer to buy distressed properties–and so should you.
- How we spent a total of $2.9M on a multifamily complex and walked away with $1.1M in profit only 18 months later.
- The eight profit centers for multifamily real estate.
- Why the best deals cash flow as you make improvements.

In my early twenties, my brother handed me a copy of one of Harry Dent’s books, and I was an instant fan. In The Great Boom Ahead, he stood virtually alone in forecasting the economic growth of the 1990s, and in The Demographic Cliff, he foreshadowed the deflation that was about to hit.
Fast forward to today, and I couldn’t be more excited to talk to Harry about his new book, Zero Hour: Turn the Greatest Political and Financial Upheaval in Modern History to Your Advantage. His latest work outlines why we’re on the verge of massive social, economic, and political upheaval and the steps everyone can take to protect themselves.
In our conversation today, we dig into his powerful methodology for accurately predicting boom and bust cycles, how living off of stimulus simply fuels inflation and delays the inevitable, and why high-end residential and commercial real estate are likely to get hit hardest. He also shares some great tips and how to prepare your portfolio for the coming crash and the potentially incredible buying opportunities on the other side.
Key Takeaways with Harry Dent
- Why Harry thinks that our current bubble has peaked for stocks–and why he’s expecting to see certain stocks drop by as much as 86%.
- Why certain real estate markets will likely drop by at least 25-30% in the years to come.
- The advantages of owning apartments and investing for cash flow–and why now’s the time to sell your assets that don’t cash flow.
- How the Fed’s decisions during the Great Recession and the COVID crisis propped up an economy that should’ve stayed sideways.
- Why 2025 could be our next big economic boom.

A few years ago, the outlook on the stock and real estate markets were on a straight path upwards. As we all know, a lot has happened since then. The Federal Reserve is continuing to raise interest rates, everyone is wondering if we’re in a recession, and the investing strategies that worked in 2019 aren’t necessarily guaranteed to deliver the returns you want in 2023.
So, with all that in mind, I’m thrilled to be chatting with Daren Blomquist, VP Market Economics at Auction.com. I love having these conversations with Daren to get his valuable insights on not just about the state of our economy, but how things are looking in the worlds of distressed and defaulted assets.
In this conversation, we get into the economic indicators that make the case for and against a recession, how they will affect the real estate market in the years to come, and how you can use Auction.com to take advantage of his incredible knowledge.
As always, Daren came prepared with a great set of slides to accompany this conversation. If you’re listening to the podcast, you’re going to hear a lot of great stuff, but I’d highly recommend you visit our YouTube channel to watch this episode to get the full picture–literally.
Key Takeaways with Daren Blomquist
- The key indicators that show we’re not in a recession right now–but very well could be in 8 months.
- How the foreclosure moratorium has affected default rates and housing supply.
- Why this spring selling season is likely to be more conservative.
- Why credit card debt is up again–and how this may be a ripple effect from COVID stimulus.
- What makes apartment rentals such a recession-proof investment when compared to flips or wholesaling.

The South attracts snowbirds–and hurricanes.
The Southwest is a nice place to live for most of the year–but you’ve got to be prepared for 100+-degree days.
The Midwest is wonderful, but the snowy season, especially here in Cleveland, can be brutal.
So, why am I talking about inclement weather today? The quick answer is because storms or brutally hot (and cold!) weather makes it much, much harder to lease units, even nice ones.
This episode of our Operational Risks series is all about seasonality. You’ll learn how to avoid having to lease an apartment around the Christmas holidays, how to keep your tenants in to stop your properties from hitting the market at the wrong time, and some tips to handle your leases and prevent this threat from hurting your bottom line.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- Why some apartments can feel all but impossible to lease at certain times of the year.
- Why I always prefer to handle moving, unit turns, and construction in the spring, summer, and fall.
- The factors that make December move-outs so difficult to deal with.
- How to structure your leases to make seasonality work in your favor.

Over the last year, the Fed has taken interest rates from zero to 4.75. Treasury yields are at 3.5. Transaction volume is down, buying power is down, and sellers who financed their deals with shorter-term bridge loans are caught between a rock and a hard place.
If you’re one of those sellers, you might end up needing to sell or refinance when you don’t really want to–and this can have devastating effects on the value of your portfolio and your returns.
So, with that in mind, today’s episode is all about how to prevent this operational threat to your business from torpedoing your profits. You’ll learn how to use long-term debt to protect yourself from skyrocketing interest rates when you structure your deals, prevent your properties from ending up in purgatory, and continue to grow as your competition scrambles to get their costs under control.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- How rising interest rates can negatively impact your cash flow, your expenses, and your selling power.
- Why there are so many properties hitting the market right now in an attempt to cut their losses.
- How to lock in long-term debt to stabilize your cash flow in times of economic uncertainty.

Today's guest has a few words of caution for anyone who thinks they can just read a book and listen to a few podcasts to prepare for life as a real estate investor. Truth be told, this might be the most candid conversation I’ve had on this show.
Lane Kawaoka is a real estate syndicator, family office advisor, coach, and mentor. He currently owns over 8,000 units and over $1.2B in AUM and has raised over $135 million with 650 investors. He's also the host of the Simple Passive Cashflow podcast.
In our conversation, we talked about how the current interest rate environment is likely to impact how investors find new deals and why multifamily real estate is still the preferred asset class right now, despite a looming recession.
I really loved Lane's transparency and honesty about the advice that is out there on YouTube and in the podcast world. Anyone who has done it will tell you that it takes a lot of hard work and even a little luck to build a successful real estate business. And that's the big takeaway here today.

To answer those questions, I’m thrilled to be chatting with Calvin Roberts. He’s an executive at Falcon Insurance Agency of Michigan with a unique focus in real estate risk management.

Lastly, Martin opens up to me to share the story of how he grew up in the ghettos of the Dominican Republic, moved to a poor neighborhood in New York City, and set himself on a course to become a multimillion dollar investor. This is one you’re not going to want to miss!

Anyone that’s been following the podcast will know I’ve released many episodes on multifamily real estate. But today, we’re changing things up a bit and talking about the other darling asset of this COVID era, industrial real estate.
Joining me for this conversation is my friend and the founder of Brit properties, Joel Friedland. Joel became an industrial investor at age 31 and now holds hundreds of millions of dollars in industrial assets. He’s acquired 95 properties in the Chicago area since 1989, debt-free, and achieved 8% annual passive income with a targeted 14% IRR.

If you’ve been on the fence about getting into real estate investing or expanding your portfolio without dealing with tenants and toilets, I have a fantastic episode for you.
Today’s guest is Daniel Apke. Daniel is the Founder of Land Investing Online and the owner at Apke Land. After doing a number of traditional rehabs, wholesaling, and rentals, he decided that it was easier to shift his focus on buying and flipping land.
It’s a relatively new business model, and he’s even developing a CRM to empower other land investors. If you’re looking for ways to make some quick money, there are opportunities with flipping rural or infill land.
In this conversation, you’ll hear all about what land investing is and the unique strategies Daniel employs to turn a profit in this fascinating space. You’ll find out why our inflationary economy has actually put him at an advantage, how to use land for cash flow, and how you can use these tools to get your feet wet in the world of land investing.

The most successful real estate investors portfolio all tend to have one thing in common–they’re great at raising capital. But if you’re not careful, mistakes you make at that critical stage can turn into deal killers.
With that in mind, today’s episode is all about the mistakes investors make when raising capital and how to avoid them. And my guest is Jeff Lerman.
Jeff is recognized nationwide as “The Real Estate Investor’s Lawyer”®. He’s an attorney who uses his real estate and law licenses to both serve as general counsel to investment firms and do real estate fundraising and investments of his own. His law firm helps investors across the country with their transactions such as entity formations, syndications, joint ventures, purchase and sale agreements and more.
In our conversation, we dig into those deal-killer mistakes that investors often make, the pros and cons of different fundraising options, and why Jeff is such a big fan of joint ventures.
You’ll also get access to two special reports–7 Steps for a Successful JV and 12 Warning Signs You’re Headed for a Lawsuit with Your Partner–that could save you a ton of time and money as you learn to put deals together.

If you are (or were) a W-2 worker, your company probably gave you the option to enroll in a retirement account. Ideally, they matched it, managed it, and made it easy for you to sign up and make contributions.
If you’re an entrepreneur, saving for retirement isn’t quite as simple. Which means you’ve got to take control of your own retirement–but this creates additional opportunities to save on taxes and put away more money for the future.
That’s why I’m excited to introduce you to Sean Mullaney. Sean is the president of Mullaney Financial & Tax, a fee–only fiduciary that offers advice-only financial planning. He’s also the author of The Solo 401(k): The Solopreneur’s Retirement Account, a guide that allows self-employed entrepreneurs to reduce taxes and strategically save for retirement.
In our conversation, we dig into how real estate can play a role in your retirement portfolio, the advantages of the solo 401(k), and how to take advantage of the wide array of tools at your disposal that you might not even be aware of.

In the 4th installment of this series, I wanted to talk about how critically important regional managers are in your business. These folks are your decision makers and ultimately responsible for charting a course for improvements and optimizations, making sure that things are getting done. They should be in constant communication with you and your partners about literally everything.
Your property managers, leasing agents, and maintenance techs are the people who keep the lights on in your buildings–and they all report to a regional manager. They wear a lot of hats and are often overseeing hundreds or thousands of units, and when they underperform, it hurts your bottom line.
So today, I’m going to talk about why great regional managers are a key part of your business–and the red flags to look out for when working with one. You’ll learn how badly things can go wrong when working with regional managers, as well as an easy and very effective way to eliminate this threat from your operations once and for all.
One last thing: I’ll be hosting a 3 Day Live Virtual Event from January 23-26, 2023. This event is free for members of our Mastermind Group but tickets can be purchased by non-members as well. Book your spot today by visiting: ForeverPassiveIncome.com
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- Why great regional managers are experienced, hard headed, and not simply yes men or women.
- How regional managers can fail to properly monetize your buildings by undercharging, overspending, and not planning adequately.
- How to secret shop your buildings to asset manage your regional managers.

If you’ve been following the podcast over the past year or so, you might remember when we bought the property called 54 Niles.

If you’re a new real estate investor or looking to add commercial multifamily to your portfolio, this is a perfect case study on the right way to get your feet wet and turn a profit along the way.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- How we acquired 54 Niles off-market, spent about $120,000 on improvements, and achieved 100% occupancy.
- What we did to get a great offer on the property despite rising interest rates.
- The eight different profit centers in multifamily properties–and the specific ways we profited from 54 Niles.

He’s the CEO of InvestArk Properties, owning over 4,000 units of multifamily properties across Texas, Oklahoma, Ohio, Louisiana, South Carolina, and Arizona.

A bad property manager isn’t just a bad investment. They have the power to threaten your deal, take it down, or even directly create negative cash flow. If they don’t do what you need them to, they can turn your investment on its head in record time–and do serious damage to your portfolio along the way.
With that in mind, today’s installment of the Operational Risks series is all about property management failures. Based on my own experiences, as well as those of several people I know, I’m sharing the common mistakes investors make when it comes to property management.
You’ll learn how to avoid bleeding money, how to turn bad situations into cash flow positives, and the critical differences between a bad property manager and a good one.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- Key questions to ask any property manager you’re interviewing.
- Why you should NEVER let your property manager do your capital improvements.
- Why property managers are generally terrible at marketing.
- How to determine if you’re spending too much on utilities, staffing, or other operational expenses.
- Why some property managers will rent to tenants below your guidelines–and how this can become a serious problem 4-6 months later.

For many real estate investors, it starts with a single flip–but it’s what you do next that really matters.
Today’s guest, Ryan Corcoran, definitely figured out what his next step was and he hasn’t looked back. Ryan is the founder and CEO of Specialized Property Group. That first flip became a springboard that helped him eventually purchase over $15 million worth of real estate, including over 200 units of multifamily apartments in the Northeast. On top of that, he’s helped other investors do over $10 million in deals.
Ryan has a knack for finding incredible off-market deals through direct mail marketing–and he’s used this technique to purchase 100-unit buildings at a discount without brokers or realtors.
In this conversation, Ryan and I discuss how that first flip led to an eight-figure portfolio–and everything he learned along the way. You’ll find out why his latest development fund is uniquely focused on build-to-rent properties, how he’s building a $25 million fund for his upcoming projects, and why great deals (and great investors) were crucial to his success.
Key Takeaways with Ryan Corcoran
- How Ryan finds off-market deals of all sizes.
- Ryan’s build-to-rent strategy–and why he’s getting involved in new development.
- The importance of being creative when raising private money.
- How building confidence in your deals, especially in new developments, helps to create value to potential buyers.
- How overextending yourself and shiny object syndrome can prove to be huge setbacks as you build your portfolio.

Home prices are no longer rising like they were, but the cost of debt is going up, and you might be seeing and feeling distress in the markets by the time of your next deal. So, with all signs pointing to a recession on the horizon, what should you do?
To help me answer this question, I’m once again joined by Daren Blomquist, EVP at Auction.com. As their in-house economist, he helps clients–both buyers and sellers–understand where the market’s going. There was so much more than we wanted to cover in our most recent discussion and I knew I wanted to bring him back to make sure we covered everything.
In this episode, Daren and I talk about why housing prices in 2023 are all but guaranteed to drop, why there are still a ton of great investment opportunities during economic downturns, and which markets are likely to be riskiest in the months and years to come.
Key Takeaways with Daren Blomquist
- The dangers of investing for cash flow in a tumultuous economy–and how interest rates can ruin a flip overnight.
- How the end of the foreclosure moratorium is going to create a growing backlog of distressed mortgages, delinquent loans, and foreclosed properties.
- Why this housing downturn is highly unlikely to be as tumultuous as the Great Recession of 2009.
- What makes coastal areas so much more prone to cycles of boom-bust than the Midwest.
- Why flippers may still want to consider selling right now.

In the second installment of this series about the threats and risks to your business, I’ll be sharing six tips that will help keep your CapEx expenses in line and your value-add projects on schedule and, most importantly, within budget.
These are the things that you need to have dialed in so that your property is performing the way that it should, that it continues to generate cash flow so that you can increase your operating income and your bottom line.
With a looming recession and interest rates continuing to climb, it will likely be tougher to refi or sell your properties because of the cost of taking on debt and ongoing supply chain issues. Managing how you order and store materials are just one of the keys to success, and with these processes in place (and boots on the ground), these tips will surely help you stay on time and within budget.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- The challenges of completing value-add projects outside of your area during a recession with inflation and supply chain issues.
- The cost savings from ordering the materials yourself.
- How to properly store those materials on the work-site and how to create a process for checking out the material.
- Ways that you can save on costs when hiring contractors and why you should hire construction managers internally.
- The importance of secret shopping the units once per week and having boots on the ground to verify the work that is done.

Managing how you order and store materials are just one of the keys to success, and with these processes in place (and boots on the ground), these tips will surely help you stay on time and within budget.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- The challenges of completing value-add projects outside of your area during a recession with inflation and supply chain issues.
- The cost savings from ordering the materials yourself.
- How to properly store those materials on the work-site and how to create a process for checking out the material.
- Ways that you can save on costs when hiring contractors and why you should hire construction managers internally.
- The importance of secret shopping the units once per week and having boots on the ground to verify the work that is done.

The housing market is undergoing a correction, demand is changing, and interest rates are continuing to rise. All of this leads us to ask one question: if we are at risk of a major recession, how can we protect ourselves and our investments to weather this downturn?
To get a better picture of what’s going on in our economy, I’ve reached out to my good friend Daren Blomquist. Daren is the in-house economist for Auction.com, where he sifts through real estate data for key insights and trends to help businesses and consumers make better decisions. He sees what institutional investors are up to, what retail buyers are doing, and where foreclosures are happening–to name just a few things that he’s always keeping an eye on.
In today’s conversation, Daren and I talk through our risk of recession and specifically how this affects the housing market. You’ll learn all about the macroeconomic patterns that set the stage for a recession (and how to clearly see them yourself), what has to happen for supply and demand to come back into alignment, and where housing is headed in the wake of 2020 and 2021’s skyrocketing property values.
Key Takeaways with Daren Blomquist
- Why many economists are increasingly convinced that we will see a recession in 2023.
- How housing uniquely contributes to negative GDP.
- Why housing is a great indicator of a looming recession–and what made the Great Recession between 2007-09 so uniquely awful.
- Why housing prices are likely going to continue to appreciate in certain places and what’s going to keep demand for apartment rentals strong.

Creating a 7 or 8-figure portfolio in multifamily real estate isn't easy. If it was, everyone would be doing it.
If you want to stabilize your assets, ensure constant cash flow, and not be at risk of losing properties, there are certain things you need to do to make your investment strategy pay off for years to come. Especially in today’s market with the cost of debt skyrocketing and interest rates pushing over 7%.
In my new series titled, Operational Risks to Your Business, I want to share with you some of the hard lessons I’ve learned from my own business, as well as from my friends and clients. I’m going to talk about seven things you need to have under control to achieve your investing goals.
In this first episode, we’re going to talk about business plans. You’ll learn about the three general business plans for multifamily properties, how to employ them, and why having a solid plan in place is critical to your long-term success.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- The difference between quick flip plays, refi and roll plays, and cash flow out the door plays.
- Why some business plans won’t help you make the right move at any given time.
- How to do your due diligence and make sure that your business plan is in line with what’s possible, what your partners want, and what you want.
- What can go wrong when you lack a business plan–and why a failure to plan, especially in tough economic times, almost always results in selling at a loss.

The reality is baby boomers are getting older, which means that demand for residential assisted living is highly likely to explode in the years to come. So what can you do to make this asset class part of your portfolio?
To answer that question, I’m talking to Todd Dexheimer. Todd is the principal of Endurus Capital and VitaCare Living and the host of the Pillars of Wealth Creation Podcast. He’s been in the real estate game since 2008 and now owns 4,000 units of multifamily and senior housing. He’s also done over 150 flips, including a mobile home park and a ski resort. These days he’s focused on syndications in value-add multifamily and senior living in emerging markets.
In this episode, we dig into why residential assisted living is a massive opportunity for real estate investors, why senior housing is an excellent addition to your portfolio, and how to structure these deals to ensure success. If you’re looking to explore this revenue stream, it’s not just a great conversation–it’s a must-listen.
Key Takeaways with Todd Dexheimer
- How the fear of a recession seems to happen every year, and how that hasn’t stopped investors from buying real estate, and shouldn’t stop you either.
- How to pivot into residential assisted living (RAL)–and what Todd did to add 400 units of RAL to his portfolio.
- How supply and demand will make adding residential assisted living assets to your portfolio a worthwhile and profitable investment.
- The exercise that Todd uses to stay focused on the activities that actually move your business forward.
- Todd’s advice on how to structure your residential assisted living deals to optimize your profit
- Why using third-party property managers is still a lot of work, but makes the most sense for managing a RAL.

What’s your superpower? What is it that you do extremely well that adds value in people’s lives or their business? And if you’re not sure, I hope this bonus episode of the elite entrepreneur series will inspire you to find out.
Eight and nine-figure entrepreneurs like Kevin O’Leary, Justin Donald, Ryan Moran, and Jack Canfield, to name just a few, have a niche–and a superpower. They do one thing extraordinarily well, they build incredible businesses around that skill, and they have the energy and excitement to go do more of it.
In this episode, I’m talking about why it’s so important to hone in on your greatest strength, how to create a team that enables you to perform at your best, and take your performance–financial and otherwise–to the next level.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- How to define your niche and how finding mine helped me discover my superpower.
- Why it’s so important to surround yourself with people who can fill in your skill gaps.
- Why great entrepreneurs are essentially running one business–not 35–and are really good at running that one company, no matter how big it is.
- Why a net worth of $100 million (or $1 billion) doesn’t make you superhuman.

The path from a real estate investor’s first property to a portfolio worth hundreds of millions of dollars doesn’t build itself. It’s created with passion, energy, and a strong work ethic.
And today’s guest is a great example of what is possible when you give everything you’ve got to accomplish your goals.
Chris Roberts is the Founder and CEO of Sterling Rhino Capital, president of Fusion Sales and Marketing, Inc., owner of Fusion Properties, and co-owner of High Trek POS. In just the last four years, he’s built a portfolio worth over $122 million, and he’s about to take on six new projects that will increase that number to over half a billion dollars.
In this conversation, you’ll hear about Chris’ humble beginnings and the work ethic that got him where he is today. We also discuss his methods of choosing developers and business partners, the questions you need to ask, and how to exude positive energy and confidence so that people will not only want to work with you but will trust you with their money.
Key Takeaways with Chris Roberts
- Chris’ methods for creating and selecting developer partners for new construction projects.
- How Chris got his feet wet building major downtown construction projects in several cities.
- How to ask very important questions when creating partnerships–and the most important question of all.
- What to do to cultivate–and radiate–positive energy and attract great partners.
- What motivates Josh to use his success to give back, mentor others, become a great coach, and create opportunities for others.

If there’s one thing that successful businesses and entrepreneurs have in common, it’s great people. It’s almost impossible to achieve exponential growth, deliver excellent products/services and develop culture without a team that is engaged and loves what they do.
You can have amazing systems in place, great technology, and a powerful framework to build from. But without people to do the work, your successes will be short lived.
So today, I want to talk about building culture. You’ll learn how to make people feel valued on a daily basis, why customers will never love your company if your employees don’t, and how to create an open, honest environment that attracts and retains great talent.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- The importance of respect, which is a 2-way street, up and down the corporate ladder.
- The one thing you need to have in your business so that employees love working for you.
- Why it’s so important to have a solid review process with clearly defined performance goals and objectives.
- How I provide as much transparency as possible with my staff.
- How to hire with culture and customer success in mind.

If there’s one thing that can keep a real estate investor from sleeping well at night, it’s while in the middle of a property. Quite literally, there are a lot of moving parts. And there are several critical mistakes you’ll want to avoid–and to do that, you’ll want to hire people you can trust.
Today’s guest, Tom Kraeutler, is an expert on this very topic. He’s the host of The Money Pit, a nationally syndicated radio show about home improvement.

In our conversation, Tom shares a ton of insider secrets on reducing and eliminating risks when it comes to remodeling, contractors, and everything in between. You’ll learn how to build the team you need, talk to people effectively, and stay on time and on budget. If you value your money and your sanity, this episode’s a must-listen.
Key Takeaways with Tom Kraeutler
- How to make sure you have the proper inspector to check out the guts and bones of your properties.
- Why you should hire a structural engineer if you’re doing a major renovation.
- The importance of doing a re-inspection after the work is done.

Every recession isn’t created equally. And believe it or not, recessions happen more often than we remember. Of course, we all remember what happened in 2008 and the crash in 2001. But what were the factors that led up to those events? If we do land in another recession, it will most certainly be for different reasons.
My guest today is J Scott, and I absolutely loved this interview. I didn’t know where the conversation would go, but I was happy to go deep while discussing economics, inflation, and real estate strategies. It’s a very timely episode, and I hope you’ll get a ton of value out of it.
Since leaving Microsoft over 14 years ago, J Scott has become a very successful investor, entrepreneur, advisor, and author. He’s the co-host of The BiggerPockets Business Podcast, and he’s flipped over 400 homes and has held over $150 million in properties, primarily focusing on the Houston market.
His newest book, The Numbers Book on Real Estate, explores multifamily property, evaluation, underwriting, debt, cap rates, and how to do due diligence on deals. If you need to know more about his qualifications, consider this: he literally wrote The Book on Flipping Houses, which has also sold over 300,000 copies.
In this episode, we’ll dig into how to make sense of deals and use this information in today’s economy. You’ll learn why housing so rarely takes a major hit during an economic downturn, how to build safe and effective deals during a recession, and why J wishes he kept all the properties he flipped.
Key Takeaways with J Scott
- How the housing market is fundamentally shifting right now–and why the US economy actually experiences a recession on an average of every 5 years.
- The importance of creative deal structures.
- What the Fed’s doing right now to try to prevent a full-blown recession–and how this affects your money.
- How J got ahead by treating his real estate investments like a business.
- Why experienced investors often leave money on the table when they flip and why he wishes he kept those properties.

We’ve been talking about the economic consequences of the COVID crisis a lot these days, and with good reason. Some of the smartest people I know think our markets are on the verge of falling off a financial cliff.
And today’s guest is no different and he has a solid track record of predicting financial downturns to back it up.
Robert Wiedemer is the New York Times bestselling author of Aftershock, as well as America’s Bubble Economy, in which he accurately predicted the 2008 financial crisis and its gruesome aftermath. He’s also a money manager at Ark Financial Management and the portfolio manager of the Bull Bear Performance Fund, where he uses innovative, proprietary trading to outperform the S&P 500.
Today’s conversation is a dive into his newest book, Fake Money, Real Danger. We get into how our government’s plan to print and borrow tons of money has put our markets in an extraordinarily dangerous situation–and what you can do right now to protect yourself and grow your wealth.
Key Takeaways with Robert Wiedemer
- Why the government’s decision to print huge sums of money has all but guaranteed a major financial event in our future.
- The problems created by nonstop inflation–and what happens to our money markets when interest rates balloon out of control.
- How a bond market entirely run by the Fed has the potential to trigger a full blown economic meltdown–and what makes this very different from the financial crisis of 2008.
- Why Robert still thinks real estate and the markets have potential to do well in these times–and what not to invest in.
- Economic red flags to look out for in the short and long-term.

Over the course of my 25 years in business, building my nine-figure portfolio, and growing my net worth, I’ve learned that the companies I loved creating the most were the ones that charged the most. But most importantly, elite entrepreneurs know that service trumps price.
When you deliver incredible service, you can charge an incredible price. The service we provide, the communication, transparency, and how we make ourselves available, all that stuff gives our clients confidence and peace of mind, which allows us to charge more.
In today’s episode, you’ll learn how the Apples and Ubers of the world set themselves apart from the pack. Why the best companies treat clients better than their competition, and why so many people are happy to pay a premium for world-class products and services.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- Why one of my apartment complexes is attracting tenants from across the street despite being $400 a month more expensive.
- How to use personal communication to keep investors happy.
- Why I’m always willing to give out my phone number–and the surprising number of calls or texts I actually get in any given week.
- How employee engagement, empowerment and recognition is the foundation of an excellent customer experience.

You can’t deny it: we’re living in unprecedented times. Our post-COVID economy has seen rampant inflation in the wake of the sheer volume of money printed in 2020. You’ve probably felt it at the grocery store, the gas pump, your investments, and just about everywhere else.
Joining me to discuss this very hot topic is my friend Jerry Robinson. Jerry is an economist, entrepreneur, investor, and best-selling author. He’s the host of Follow the Money Radio, where he tells the fierce truths about global trends while sharing investment strategies and income ideas across many categories, including real estate. Above all else, he’s just someone I love to chat with when times get tough.
In this conversation, Jerry and I work to answer the “why” behind the state of our current economy–and help you craft an investment strategy to match. You’ll learn why so many new real estate investors are likely to take a big hit after two years of massive gains and how the most experienced investors can position themselves to take advantage of opportunities as we approach the end of maximum pessimism.
Key Takeaways with Jerry Robinson
- Why unprecedented economic intervention means unprecedented consequences.
- What the economic lag factor is and how it impacts you now.
- How we have to operate for the first time ever with a worldwide fiat currency.
- Why it’s great to invest when things are going from “bad” to “less bad.”
- The opportunities that will exist as we near the end of maximum pessimism.
- Why the Fed is having trouble pushing interest rates to even 4%–and how this affects all your investments.

Anything is possible with the proper mindset and work ethic. And it’s no surprise that in just 3½ years, today’s guest went from purchasing a handful of properties to managing over 1,900 units at a value of $180 million.
I’m thrilled to welcome Pili Yarusi back to the podcast and share her journey with you. Pili is the Co-Founder and Investor Education and Relations Director for Yarusi Holdings.
The last time we spoke, we talked about how she and her husband, Jason, had just refinanced one of their newest acquisitions–a property called Norbrook Arms. Soon after, they sold it–and achieved a 23% internal rate of return for their investors–which set them on a path that has seen them achieve huge growth in record time.
In this conversation, Pili walks me through how she and Jason did it. You’ll find out how they scaled their very first deals to where they are today, what sets great operators/syndicators apart from the newbies, and how they’ve created a seven-figure multifamily coaching program.
Key Takeaways with Pili Yarusi
- How early successes with Norbrook Arms helped Pili and Jason kickstart their hockey stick growth.
- What Pili and Jason did as asset managers to take responsibility for and contribute to their communities.
- How Pili and Jason pivoted their business in 2020 to rein in their expenses while taking their performance to the next level.
- How talking to investors changes after you experience substantial growth–and why it’s time to start talking to people about raising capital.
- Why now is the time for crypto investors to diversify their holdings.

In the 6th installment of the Elite Entrepreneur Series, we’re talking about how elite entrepreneurs have absolute clarity of the end result they are trying to accomplish (or ACER for short).
Every time I’ve spoken with a seven or eight-figure entrepreneur, I notice they are very goal oriented and have an end result they’re trying to achieve. They may need to adapt or change their strategy from time to time, but they know what they want–and they live their life in alignment with that goal.
In today’s episode, I will walk you through an exercise that inspired me during my battle with pancreatic cancer. You’ll learn how to get a better understanding of everything you’d want to happen over the next decade in seven categories of your life–and become absolutely clear as to what you want to achieve in the years to come.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- What’s changed in my life over the last ten years–and how much can change in yours as well.
- Seven aspects or categories of your life to keep top of mind.
- A thought exercise you can use to get a clear sense of where your life and values are at right now.
- How to dream up the life you want to live–and start accomplishing it right now.

Today, I’m talking to Patrick Grimes. He’s the CEO of Invest on Main Street and a general partner in over 3,000 units with a focus on the Midwest, the Southeast, and Texas.
He has over $300 million in assets under management and is continuing to build his portfolio, bringing in more passive investors, and finding new ways to win in a down economy. If you want to find out how he’s doing it, you’re going to love this interview.
Among the many things we discussed, Patrick shares eight specific criteria that any multifamily asset you’re considering buying MUST fulfill. I have to say, Patrick’s knowledge level is phenomenal, and I highly recommend that you don’t just write it down, but make sure that any investment property that you buy meets these requirements–I know I am!
Lastly, if you’d like to work with Patrick (or get a free copy of his book), all you need to do is set up a call with him at InvestOnMainStreet.com. Have a quick conversation about your goals and what you’re doing, and he’ll ship you a free, signed copy of Persistence, Pivots and Game Changers, Turning Challenges Into Opportunities.
Key Takeaways with Patrick Grimes
- How Patrick is getting deals in markets where people are often overpaying.
- Where Patrick sees distress in the market–and where he thinks deal flow is going to come from.
- The eight criteria that you need to check off before you purchase a multifamily property.
- Why Patrick believes in using vertically integrated property management, even though it costs more.
- What Patrick learned from the Great Recession–and how he re-entered the world of real estate after losing nearly everything.

With interest rates threatening to continue to climb, I thought it would be the perfect time to invite a good friend of mine, Jon Iannotti, to tap into his wealth of experience to discuss the best ways to position ourselves in today's market.
Jon is a real estate investor, best-selling author, international speaker, and mentor who has helped hundreds of people to become successful real estate investors over the past 20+ years. He has a unique perspective and developed cutting-edge strategies that are being taught across the country and around the world.
In this conversation, Jon and I discuss why he expects the markets to take a nosedive in early 2023 and how he's preparing for an inevitable downturn. We'll also dig into the problems he expects to see in commercial and multifamily in the coming months and the strategies you can take advantage of to make the most of these opportunities and succeed in the face of highly volatile markets.
Key Takeaways with Jon Iannotti
- What true PITI is–and what that has to do with getting cash flowing in your portfolio.
- Why seller financing, carrybacks, and assumable mortgages are going to be so attractive in early 2023.
- Why you’re going to need to market yourself better than ever before to get ahead of your competition and find off-market deals.

A tremendous amount of capital is flowing into commercial real estate, multifamily, and syndications. With all the talk of a recession, real estate is looking like a recession-resistant asset for many investors–and that means there are a ton of operators who need help.
And when you need to set up an entity or do a syndication, you’ll probably find yourself in need of someone like Nic McGrue. Nic is an attorney who works with operators, and he has extraordinary insight into what’s going on in the market and where we’re headed.
In today’s conversation, we get into what’s going on in the markets right now. You’ll find out what tools and strategies are available to help get the most out of your money, what you need to know to set up a successful syndication, and the services an attorney like Nic can provide you with as you build your real estate portfolio.
Key Takeaways with Nic LeGrue
- Why multifamily real estate often fares well in tough economic times.
- Why investors need better strategies and investment plans than ever before to succeed in increasingly competitive markets.
- The absolute must-haves as you go into the syndication process.
- Why there’s no such thing as a boilerplate or standard contract for deals.
- How to connect with Nic–or find another attorney to advise you as you navigate the syndication process.

I’m excited to welcome Chris Miles back to the podcast to learn more about taking advantage of this powerful tax strategy.
Chris is the founder of Money Ripples and an Anti-Financial Advisor. He’s the ‘Cash Flow Expert’ and has a ton of experience and knowledge on infinite banking. It’s something that we both use in our portfolios, and I wanted to dedicate an episode on this topic to share with all of you.
In our conversation, we’ll define exactly what infinite banking is, why it’s way better than a traditional savings account, and what you need to know to make this strategy part of your investment portfolio.
Key Takeaways with Chris Miles
- What it really means to have a supercharged tax-free savings account using whole life insurance.
- How insurance companies allow you to get credit against cash while achieving as much as a 33% rate of return on your money.
- Why the tax-free savings account is not a ticket to financial freedom–and what it can be used for.
- Why many people are misinformed about how to take advantage of insurance systems–and how insurance agents don’t always have your best interests in mind.
- The steps you can take right now to add infinite banking to your arsenal.

Mobile home parks are becoming a bigger and bigger part of our life in America. With single-family home prices soaring, this market is fast-growing–and presents a major opportunity for real estate investors of all kinds.
I just loved this conversation and I’m excited to introduce you to Charlotte Dunford. Charlotte is the Managing Partner of Johns Creek Capital. She owns 27 mobile home parks and manages over $6 million in investor subscriptions through these parks.

In the 4th installment of my series on the nine traits of elite entrepreneurs and eight-figure real estate investors, we’re talking about how to get leeches, screen-suckers, and toxic negativity out of your way.
Elite entrepreneurs are inherently positive, growth-minded, future-focused people. They don’t waste time looking back, spiraling into negative thought patterns, or letting their anxiety control them. They also don’t associate with toxic people or associations.
In this episode, you’ll learn how to cut negative, toxic energy out of your life. You’ll discover why negativity is incompatible with the growth mindset, and how to identify this energy and redirect it long before it can affect you.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- How social media has become a negative time-waster–and how to use it purposefully.
- How to determine exactly what does and doesn’t add value to your life career.
- Why anyone who repeats themselves is looking for attention–not trying to solve a problem.
- What to do when you encounter a leech–and how to ensure that the time they want to steal from you goes somewhere good instead.

Though our real estate market is still very hot, we’re seeing the first signs of a slowdown. Price appreciation is strong, but inventory is rising and sales are starting to drop–which are some telltale signs.
If you’re investing in multifamily, and especially if you’ve done your first deals in the last year or two, you might be wondering how changing market conditions will affect you. To help answer that question, I’m thrilled to welcome Daren Blomquist back to the podcast.
Daren is the Vice President of Market Economics at Auction.com. He’s a regular guest on CNBC, CNN, and other major news outlets which rely on him to make sense of what’s going on in the housing markets.
In this episode, Daren and I discuss the reasons why the era of bidding wars and insane appreciation may be coming to an end, how our strategy for multifamily acquisitions is changing, and where Daren sees potential opportunities down the line.
Key Takeaways with Daren Blomquist
- Why all signs point to a market slowdown–and why this won’t necessarily make homes much more affordable.
- Reasons why the coastlines experience much more dramatic cycles of boom and bust when it comes to housing prices than the Midwest and other parts of the country.
- Why you’re not going to lose money if you can wait out the storm.
- Where there are opportunities to buy right now for patient investors who aren’t looking for instant gratification.
- The dangers inherent in buying expensive properties and expecting the values to keep going up.

Today, we’re jumping back into my series on the nine traits of elite entrepreneurs and eight-figure real estate investors–and we’re talking about what it means to truly manage your time.
You might think that an elite entrepreneur has to work 80 to 100 hours a week because it looks like Gary V or Elon does it. However, I want you to know this: elite entrepreneurs do more with less. They have a normal work life (or less). They have financial freedom.
In this episode, you’ll hear my tips around time management skills. Whether you’re building a real estate portfolio or just about any other business, you may just find them to be invaluable.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- How to post and prioritize everything that you need to do each week.
- Why it’s so important to remove yourself from anything that isn’t essential.
- The power of adding important tasks to your calendar.
- Why you need to give yourself hard deadlines.
- What happens when you commit to other people in your organization?
- How to give your brain a much-needed break.
- Why you should set aside days to focus on generating revenue.

Today’s guest has helped a lot of people get their feet wet and find great first deals. Matt Picheny is an investor in 10,000 units of apartments as both a sponsor and general partner and as a limited partner. He has a real passion for the arts, and he even invests in Broadway shows.

In it, he gives his reader the “backstage tour” of the real estate business, sharing trustworthy advice from his unique perspective.
In this conversation, you’ll learn all about the investing meetups that inspired Matt’s book, the concepts he shares with anyone looking to start creating passive income, and how to find your ‘why’ on your journey to financial independence.
Key Takeaways with Matt Picheny
- How the concept behind Matt’s book started as a meet-up.
- What Matt did to invest in over 10,000 apartment units and achieve financial independence.

The second trait most elite entrepreneurs and eight-figure real estate investors have: they feel 100% responsible for everything that happens in their lives. Everyone I have ever met who owns elite businesses, with great relationships and amazing cash-flowing assets, takes 100% responsibility for their own life.
In the second episode in this series about the 9 defining traits of elite entrepreneurs, you’ll discover why they always know there’s always another deal or another business relationship around the corner. To them, new deals are an infinite and unlimited resource.
I’ll also explain the flip side of that–the fact that no one is simply going to bail them out, come to their rescue, or just fix their problems, sight-unseen. You’ll learn how this philosophy gives you the power to design and build your own life on your terms, stop making excuses, and see the positivity and upside in everything.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- Why people who have a W-2 or work for someone else are always financially limited.
- What it truly means to be 100% accountable not just to yourself and your family, but to everyone who relies on you to live a better life.
- How 100% responsibility gives you the freedom to build and live life on your terms.
- Elite entrepreneurs are always networking and building new relationships.
- How my pancreatic cancer diagnosis wasn’t going to stop me from accomplishing my goals and building my business. Never give up.

So you’ve decided to take the plunge and become a real estate investor. Now it’s time to get into your first deals as a general partner.
If you’re anything like me, you probably want to ramp up fast–but you might think you don’t yet have the network, the tools, or the capital to make it happen.
My guest today is Andrew Schutsky, and he can show you that you’ve got everything you need to hit the ground running. Andrew is the founder of Redline Equity, LLC, and his firm specializes in acquisitions, improvement, and management of large apartment buildings. He started investing in real estate over 14 years ago and got started with a very cool house hack in 2007.
He’s a general partner and limited partner in over 1,100 units–and, most amazingly, he got into his first two deals as a general partner only five months into his career in multifamily syndication.
In this conversation, Andrew lets us in on how he’s positioning his debt to address the challenges of rising and dropping interest rates, how he structures syndications (and what properties he loves most), and how he landed his first deals so quickly.
Key Takeaways with Andrew Schutsky
- What makes a property stand out to Andrew right now–and why he’s interested in vintage properties that were last updated between the 1970s and 1990s.
- Why Andrew sees multifamily as a solid hedge against inflation.
- How maintaining great relationships with a personal touch sets their company apart from their competitors.
- How to transform your mindset as you jump from home ownership to offering on 100 or 200-unit properties.
- The key steps that allowed Andrew to take the leap from mastermind student to general partner on his first two deals in just five months.

What makes someone an elite entrepreneur or an eight-figure multifamily investor? It’s not because they’re making half a million dollars a year in passive income, earning millions a year in total income, and using real estate to minimize their tax burden.
A few things that I’ve noticed over the years is that they’re fit, happy, healthy, surrounded by family and friends, and have their finances in order. They take care of themselves, have great relationships, and have fun–and they have nine key traits in common above everything else.
In this series, I’m going to share with you all nine of these traits, beginning with this one: elite entrepreneurs invest for cash flow NOW. And in this episode, you’ll learn the philosophy behind this strategy, how to find deals with cash flow in mind, and why investing for cash flow always works.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- The difference between investing for cash flow now and flipping properties.
- Why elite entrepreneurs use other people’s private money–not bank debt–to fund their deals.
- How to make improvements on a new investment while keeping it cash flow positive.
- What you can do to get your cash flow to equal your day job’s income.
- The one thing I regret from my real estate investing journey.

Whether you're starting a cozy campfire or striving for a fulfilling FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) retirement, you just need a little spark. And today's guest is here to tell you that if you really want to retire early, the spark you're looking for is cash flow and not a million-dollar portfolio invested in the stock market.
Allow me to introduce you to the 'Cash Flow Expert,' Chris Miles, to explain how it's done. Chris is the founder of Money Ripples and an Anti-Financial Advisor. He's the host of The Chris Miles Money Show and has been featured on US News, CNN Money, and Entrepreneurs on Fire, just to name a few.
Using his proven strategies, he's been able to retire twice before turning 45. Why? Because he understands cash-flowing assets and gets results. And he's helped his clients increase their cash flow by as much as $300 million in the last 12 years!
In this episode, Chris and I are digging deep into how to put your money to work for you. You'll learn how he extracts maximum value out of every dollar, the key moves you can start making right now toward retiring early, and the critical mistakes that lead millionaires into poverty in retirement. You'll also hear a fantastic analogy of how 250k in real estate compares to a million dollars in the stock market that I know you'll love. Enjoy!
Key Takeaways with Chris Miles
- Why Chris is anti-stock market and anti-mutual fund–and how following Dave Ramsey’s advice to the letter left his father with no real retirement fund.
- What Chris did to retire at 28–and what happened when he lost his McMansion and Mercedes at the height of the Great Recession.
- How to get out of the rat race, eliminate your debts, and free up your cash flow at any age.
- The difference between spending a million dollars–or $250,000–to earn $50,000.
- What it truly means to achieve financial independence.

Two years ago, at the height of the COVID pandemic, we had only begun to see how consumer spending habits would change. Two years later, people are still spending more time at home–and still trying to make the most of their spare bedrooms, offices, garages, and basements. This means self-storage is still a great investment, and there's no one better to talk to about it than Scott Krone.
Scott is the owner and founder of Coda Management and One Stop Self Storage. He does brand new self-storage development, as well as self-storage conversion. He's built a massive self-storage portfolio, and it's proven to be hugely beneficial to his bottom line, even as we struggle with runaway inflation.
In today's conversation, you'll learn how the self-storage business has changed since we last checked in with him in July of 2020 and the tools he uses to evaluate markets. You'll also hear how you can use self-storage as a reactionary investment to protect yourself from all sorts of volatility.
P.S. If you'd like to learn more about Scott's business and find out if self-storage could be a good investment for you, he's kindly offered listeners of this podcast access to his self-storage analysis tool. Just send an email to info@codamg.com to get connected and discover how it works!
Key Takeaways with Scott Krone
- How self-storage helps people through difficult times.
- Why businesses are starting to use self-storage just as much as individuals.

A lot of people want to buy houses–and a lot of them are saying, “Prices are overheated. Interest rates are going to go back down, and I’m going to wait it out.”
Unfortunately, that’s not going to work. And the reason is because of supply and demand.
In today’s episode, I walk you through the hard numbers to show why the housing market is all but guaranteed to stay hot for years to come, even if we experience a significant economic downturn.
You’ll also learn why people who get boxed out of the housing market will be very interested in Class B suburban apartments–and how this is creating great opportunities for investors and operators.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- How simple supply and demand indicates that the housing market isn’t going to cool off any time soon.
- Why I expect that supply will continue to be less than demand, even if rates continue to go up, for years to come.
- The great opportunities that are being created for owners and operators of B class apartments in the suburbs.

What’s the one thing many people love more than a success story? A comeback story. And today’s guest has a great one.
Today, I’m talking to Mike Morawski. Mike is a real estate investing veteran with over 30 years of experience. He’s the Founder and CEO of My Core Intentions, an author, a real estate trainer, a public speaker, and a personal coach who partners and joint ventures with his students. He’s controlled over $285 million in transactions and has learned many valuable lessons over the years.
After a few years of incredible success and growth, everything changed in 2008 during the economic crisis. This left Mike in a defensive position. He started scrambling and let his guard down with some poor decisions. Ultimately, those decisions led to a 10-year federal prison sentence for wire and mail fraud charges.
So how do you overcome such a terrible time in your life? With resilience and the proper mindset.
In this conversation, you’ll hear how Mike scaled from one 11-unit deal to managing 4,000 units and $60M in assets in under 30 months and how he lost everything. He shares some great insights on how to shift your mindset, get over your limitations, and avoid making critical mistakes that can set you up for failure as an investor–and much more. This is a great, honest episode, and I’m excited for you to hear it!
Key Takeaways with Mike Morawski
- How Mike turned an 11-unit deal into a 60 and then a 300-unit deal.
- Why it’s on you–and you alone–to change your mindset and get over your self-limiting beliefs.
- The mistakes Mike made to go from $60M in real estate to losing it all and going to prison.
- How to design your buying strategy.
- The common traps real estate investors fall into.
- How to underwrite and stress test your deals.
- How Mike grew way too fast, did too many deals, and lost everything–and how to avoid making the same mistakes he made.

If you own your home, you probably have some equity you’d like to access. And if you’re a real estate investor with several single-family properties in your portfolio, using the equity to renovate or purchase new properties to your advantage generally makes the most sense.
The problem is that unlocking the equity generally means getting a loan, a second mortgage, or a line of credit from a bank to borrow the money. But what if you could sell a piece of your equity for cash to highly qualified investors?
This is precisely what QuantmRE allows you to do. It’s a groundbreaking patent-pending real estate investment and finance platform that solves a serious problem for so many homeowners and investors.
Today, I’m talking to Matthew Sullivan, QuantmRE’s Founder and CEO. We dig into what makes our current economy such an incredible opportunity for property owners, real-world examples of how this solution works, and how you can take advantage of this offering to get access to cash without increasing your leverage.
Key Takeaways with Matthew Sullivan
- Why accessing home equity has traditionally required borrowing money and how this puts homeowners at a disadvantage.
- How QuantmRE uses blockchain to keep track of home equity agreements and allows investors to build portfolios.
- Why QuantmRE investments can still produce returns and reduce homeowner leverage, even if a property decreases in value.
- What makes our current financial markets so different from the markets of 2007 and 2008.
- How to get started with QuantumRE as either a homeowner or investor.

Almost everyone who enrolls in my Forever Passive Income mastermind asks me the same question: “Josh, where do I start?”
This episode is all about answering that question–and you may be surprised to discover that the answer doesn’t just start with buying an apartment building.
I’m talking about the building blocks of every deal: underwriting and business plans. You’ll learn what you need to do to talk to brokers, network, recruit private money, get a great property manager, and recruit debt–all of which will give you the power to achieve real success and create forever passive income in this industry.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- Why underwriting and creating business plans are the two most valuable skills in apartment investing.
- How to put together a value-add program and add income to a potential purchase.
- Why being a great underwriter opens doors and creates more opportunities than anything else in multifamily real estate.

I’ve often talked about the kinds of people you need to surround yourself with and your connections to build a thriving, profitable real estate portfolio.
But I probably haven’t discussed the tools and technologies you can offer your business partners, teammates, and employees to the same degree. There are several solutions you can use to create more cash flow, provide fewer concessions, increase property value, and make things safer for your teams–and if you’re wondering where to start, you can start with this episode.
I’m thrilled to be talking to Zain Jaffer. Zain is a serial entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and real estate investor. He’s a partner at Blue Field Capital, the Founder and CEO of Zain Ventures, and is the PropTech VC and host of the PropTech VC Podcast. Before breaking into real estate, he also built an ad tech platform called Vungle and sold it to Blackstone for $780 million!
I know you’ll enjoy this conversation as you’ll hear all about his journey from founding his first company at the age of 14 to his $780M exit. He shares the industry-specific tech tools he uses (that you can use, too!) to make your life in real estate easier, and who will (and won’t) win deals in these tough economic times.
Key Takeaways with Zain Jaffer
- What Zain sees happening in the real estate market in the next 3 to 6 months and what he’s most excited about in the short term.
- How the current economic downturn and panic selling affect commercial and residential real estate.
- Why Zain is all in on Deep Sentinel, Stake.Rent, and Canopy Analytics.
- How Zain founded his first company at 14, used his exit to start building his real estate portfolio, and achieved success by under promising and over delivering.
- The three technologies that Zain uses in his company that can help you too.
- Why entrepreneurs should choose to make less money today to ensure they’ll stay in business forever.

When someone wants to sell a property, they often go through 'the process.' They get professional photos, put together an offering memorandum, have prospective buyers tour the property, and take a call for offers. In this episode, I’m going to break down how we closed the deal on a property called Stuart House, and beat a Goliath in the real estate industry.
The owners had many offers and eventually narrowed it down to our team and one from a much larger buyer with a billion-dollar portfolio and over 55 complexes. Ultimately, they chose to sell to us for $16.3 million.
What was the deciding factor? The seller liked our portfolio, our track record, and our value-add plans for the property, which made all the difference.
I'm excited to share how this deal went down with you today. You'll learn how we won the deal and what our plans are for the property. I'll also explain why it's so important to find your niche, and be ready to step on the field of battle and do what you do best.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- How our track record of proven successes helped us win the Stuart House deal.
- Our planned renovations for Stuart House.
- How we aim to arrive at a final valuation of $27 million after making $2.5 million in improvements.
- Why it’s so important to have a niche as a buyer.
- How to think about your business plan with a big-picture goal in mind.

When COVID hit, many businesses realized that they had to change their strategy, and we were definitely one of them. So, we decided to shift our focus to concentrate on the Cleveland area, where we could control construction, property management, and much more from our own backyard. With our key players located in the Cleveland area, it just made sense.
Throughout this transition, one of our key players was Tyler Brummett. Tyler is our Chief Operating Officer at Freeland Ventures and head of our acquisitions and asset management team. We’ve been business partners for about two years, during which time we’ve acquired over 2,000 new units.
So today, I figured I’d bring Tyler on the show to walk us through how we procured our latest acquisition called Stewart House. We’ll break down how we were able to take a property from 80% vacant to 99% occupied and the difference between a vanilla apartment complex and one that attracts great tenants willing to pay a premium. We’ll also discuss the unique benefits of doing this in a market just minutes away from your doorstep.
Key Takeaways with Tyler Brummett
- How Tyler and I got access to the Stewart House deal, what we did to close over a company that manages over 20,000 units, and how we plan to create a phenomenal community and better housing for its residents.
- How to budget both time and money for improvements, ensure you’re making the right renovations, and find great tenants who will occupy your units for years to come.
- What Tyler’s day-to-day as our asset manager looks like.
- The difference between “kicking out” a tenant and simply not renewing their lease.

If you're putting in the time, effort, and resources in real estate, the goal is always to make money. Since the profits aren't realized until you sell or create cash flow, finding properties at a discount will certainly improve your odds of making more money with passive income.
So, where can you find discounted real estate deals, and how can you position yourself to make the most of them? Allow me to introduce you to David Dodge.
David is a real estate investor coach, he’s the host of the Discount Property Investor podcast, and the co-author of The Ultimate Guide to Wholesaling Real Estate.
He's done hundreds of residential deals, loves wholesaling for huge profits, and has mastered the BRRRR Method-which he teaches in his BRRRR Method Mastery program.
In this conversation, David utilizes the BRRRR Method in his own deals, how he's navigating today's complex real estate market to find discounted properties, and why time freedom is the true goal we should all be aspiring to achieve.
Key Takeaways with David Dodge
- How the BRRRR Method–buy, rehab, rent, and refinance–allows investors to acquire assets while spending little to no money out of pocket.
- David’s strategies for navigating a market with high interest rates, rampant inflation, and low inventory.
- Why David doesn’t typically buy properties on market–and how he looks for off-market deals with prospective sellers.
- How David became a full-time investor at the age of 30 by shifting his focus and using the BRRRR Method.
- You can actually screw up a good deal in 10 different ways and still turn a solid profit.

Last week, I was in Houston to check out the 552-unit and 104-unit buildings that I own with some JV partners. I also attended a mastermind with intermediate to advanced residential investors who are new to multifamily, but have extensive experience flipping and wholesale homes and oversee 200-500 units.
One thing that I noticed, as they grow their businesses and start to do larger deals, many of these guys are now trying to sponsor loans–and their questions inspired today’s episode.
If you’re looking to have a better understanding of the differences between loan and deal sponsorships, I hope you’ll get a ton of value from this episode. You’ll learn what a deal and loan sponsor’s roles and responsibilities are, you’ll see how these roles play out in my own deals, and how to find someone with the key experience to make your dream deal a reality.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- Why the deal sponsor is the person who finds the deal and takes the lead on putting together the dream team.
- How the loan sponsor gets qualified for the loan needed to do the deal–and how much liquid capital they’ll need to make it happen.
- How I became the deal and loan sponsor on a property I’m buying right now.
- Why it’s so important to build out your network to find loan sponsors.
- How to find key people with the experience you need.

If you're a busy professional and have thought about getting into real estate investing, you may have the resources, the network, and even the capital to become an investor. Maybe you've been thinking about it for a while, but you keep telling yourself that you don't have the time.
In this conversation, my goal is to prove that you have everything you need to get started.
Dr. Harry Nima Zegarra is a very successful physician and real estate investor from the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Fifteen years ago, he emigrated from Peru to the United States with nothing, became a residential real estate investor, and eventually grew into multifamily, co-syndications, and sponsorships. And now, he's the principal in a 105-unit acquisition in the Fort Worth market, and I'm excited to talk to him about his journey.
If you're ready to take your hard-earned income to the next level and find out how you can get involved in making great deals, especially your first ever real estate deal, but that voice in your head keeps telling you that you're too busy to do so then this episode is for you.
Key Takeaways with Harry Nima Zegarra
- How to break into the world of real estate when you have the resources but not the time.
- How to network with other people who have big networks to get access to equity.
- Why commercial real estate is a team sport–and why you need to focus on your unique strengths, rather than trying to provide time, network, and capital all at once.
- The difference between being in the front of the house vs. the back of the house in commercial multifamily real estate.
- Harry’s three favorite social media platforms and what he’s doing to educate his audience and attract new investors.

I wanted to jump on here for a quick solo episode and share some great news and how we got it done. We just closed on a fiercely competitive, 296-unit deal. Over the last few weeks, we’ve been going back and forth with the seller, their attorney, and the brokers to negotiate the fine details and agreements from our letter of intent. Standard stuff, right?
In our letter of intent, we agreed on a purchase price of $16.3 million and $350,000 of non-refundable earnest money to get the deal across the finish line within 90 days. We had to settle a number of issues, including the closing duration (and if the purchase price would go up if we failed to close in time), which title company we would use, and how much prorated rent the owner would receive–just to name a few.
In this episode, I want to walk you through how our letter of intent (LOI) set the framework for our purchase sales agreement (PSA) and what we did to get the best possible terms under the circumstances. For anyone about to negotiate their first significant deal (or any deal for that matter), I hope these insights will offer some value to you.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- How we set the closing terms for this deal and why it led to a negotiation with the seller about which title company we were going to use.
- How we negotiated prorated, past due, and additional rents.
- Why everything in an apartment building, down to the doorknobs and keys, is negotiable.
- How we wrapped our negotiations to close on the property by May 1 for $19.5 million–and why it will be worth over $26 million by the time we’re done with it.

There’s a saying in sports that the best offense is a great defense. But can the same be said in real estate? Even if you’re a passive investor, you need to be looking for a combination of off-market, distressed, and on-market opportunities. You need a team that can help you make the deal happen. You need crews that can get the properties market-ready, and you need managers who can help deliver consistent returns.
For this conversation, I’m thrilled to welcome my good friend Tone Robinson. Tone is a wealth builder, investor, speaker and author. We’ve known each other for 25 years, and we played college football together long before either of us entered the world of real estate.
In addition to owning his own portfolio, he provides an array of services to people who want to be passive investors in the Cleveland area. In his book, The Offensive Playbook: 9 Rules for Guaranteed Real Estate Success, he empowers the reader to go beyond the surface and build a great team to help implement a winning investing strategy.
In this episode, Tone walks us through how he helps investors, the rules you need to follow to have success in real estate, and why education is much more important than trying to predict any market.
Key Takeaways with Tone Robinson
- How Tone works with people who want to become passive investors in the Midwest.
- Why it’s so important to know what you bring to the marketplace as an investor and understand the trends in that market before you dive in.
- How Tone finds, secures, and manages contractors to reduce risk where possible.
- Why Tone got interested in real estate from a young age–and why his reasons probably apply to you, too.
- What makes the Midwest so great for entering into real estate right now–and what you can do to get your boots on the ground.

For anyone that is interested in retiring early, moving abroad, living off of passive income, and spending your days on the beach of your dreams, today’s interview is for you!
My guest today is Becca Hintergardt. Becca is originally from the San Francisco Bay Area with lots of experience with multifamily deals as a co-syndicator and operator. In the middle of the COVID pandemic, she made some moves and eventually picked up her family and moved to the blue zone in Costa Rica to have some fun in the sun and live the Caribbean lifestyle. She tells her story in her book, 6 Steps to Put Your Income on Autopilot and Move Overseas, which you can download at HintInvestments.com.
In this episode, Becca walks me through the six steps you need to take to move internationally and live off your passive income. You’ll learn how long it takes to set this up, and you’ll be surprised to learn that it doesn’t take as long as you think. Lastly, we discuss how to put together the income to move and how to continue generating passive income after you do it. I hope you’ll enjoy this episode as much as I did.
Key Takeaways with Becca Hintergardt
- The unique health benefits of living in blue zones.
- Why Becca left the San Francisco Bay Area–and why so many people are leaving major cities in the wake of the COVID pandemic.
- The big thing so many people overlook when trying to assess whether or not they could live off of passive income.
- How multifamily investments played a role in Becca’s passive income planning.
- Why you can’t live an international lifestyle accidentally–but you CAN pull the levers to make it a reality in a year or less.

An investor recently asked me for a ten-year cash flow study of one of our apartment buildings. To be honest, it's not something I'm looking forward to doing. I feel like it's at best an educated guess–and so does the Federal Reserve. None of us can predict interest rates or rent rates, and the work doesn't feel productive to me.
So I've been putting this projection off for a few weeks. Not because I'm lazy, but I definitely am procrastinating–primarily because we've already raised all the money we need to do this deal.
I'll keep this episode short and sweet. Today is all about overcoming procrastination, not just in writing cash flow studies but in anything you want (or need) to do. I'm sharing the simple trick that helped me finish overdue projects, reduce my body fat to 5% in my early thirties, find deals, and achieve so much more. It's worked for me, and I hope it will help you too.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- The main reasons why we procrastinate.
- How accountability partners force us to take action.
- The importance of being aware of your calendar.
- Why we’re so comfortable letting ourselves down, but not others.
- Get started right away to find your accountability partner, set a meeting, and get something done.

Inflation. It feels like it's out of control, and there's no escaping it in this news cycle. The reality is that the Fed would likely prefer to have a recession than runaway inflation, and we're in danger of having an overheated economy. So, what does this mean for real estate investors?
To help answer this question, it's my pleasure to be joined by Daren Blomquist, VP of Market Economics at Auction.com and a regular contributor to the podcast. Daren and I have seen it all–market run-ups, fix and flips, the pandemic–and I rely on him just as much as CNBC, CNN, and Fox do for data and information.
In this conversation, Daren and I dig into the potential for a recession and how inflation affects us all. We'll also talk about how issues affecting single-family residential home development might impact multifamily apartments. You'll find out where Daren (and the buyers on Auction.com) are seeing great opportunities, even now.
Key Takeaways with Daren Blomquist
- Why the yield curve is a good predictor of potential recessions.
- How inflation is impacting the housing market and why we’re at very high risk for a recession.
- The distress signals we’re seeing in the housing market.
- The factors that are creating investment opportunities in the midwest and the Sun Belt.
- How populations have migrated pre and post-pandemic.
- The areas where there are opportunities to make a profit right now.

There’s no way around it: inflation means costs are up. Insurance and construction are more expensive. When your taxes get reassessed, they’re higher. You’re paying out higher wages and payroll. It can hurt. On the flipside, there’s higher rents to help you offset your costs, as well as a number of things you can do to protect yourself in these markets.
So, what do you need to do? To get you the answers you need, I’m thrilled to welcome Chris Litzler, my capital markets broker. Chris is a Senior Director of Originations at Marcus & Millichap, where he arranges debt and advises on equity.
In his first six years as a mortgage banker, he arranged over $1 billion in financing across the country. He’s done 15 of my 17 syndications and is currently arranging financing for a 296-unit building we’re about to buy for roughly $15 million.
We talk about what’s happening in lending and capital not just for multifamily, but across office, retail, industrial, hotel, self-storage, and mobile home real estate. We also dove into yield curves, and look to the future as we discuss what capital markets will look like over the next two to ten years.
Key Takeaways with Chris Litzler
- The key indicators that you should be taking a look at in today’s markets and how they affect your cash flow.
- How changes in commercial and residential real estate affect each other.
- What the Standard Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) is and why it’s likely to jump over 100 basis points in the next 90 days.
- How to focus on stabilization in times of volatility.
- The risk factors Chris is always considering when possibly buying a new property.

Anyone who has ever worked on a renovation project knows that everything doesn’t always go according to plan. So, how do you handle the draws when you have a large value-add CapEx program and a loan with a bank or lender with construction draw money?
How do you prove to your bank that your draws are accurate, you’ve done everything right, but your actual plan doesn’t exactly align with your original one?
We purchased Forest Ridge Apartments in Parma, Ohio, for $11.65 million about a year ago. Our original loan was for $1.1 million in draws and $1.1 million in construction. From the start, the numbers lined up perfectly, but it got much more complicated when we firmed things up. When we submitted our final draw request, our banker needed an explanation as to why things were going the way they were.
In this episode, I want to use what happened with our project to show you a real example of pro forma versus reality. When you’re ready for the next draw with your banker, I want you to have the insight to be able to explain yourself when things get complicated, get the budget you need, and have the power to add value to your deals when it’s within reach.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- Why we needed to invest additional funds into the commons at Forest Ridge apartments, and how this changed our budget.
- What happened when we submitted our final draw request, and how I explained what was happening with our lender.
- How we were able to beef up our budget from $1.1 to $1.41 million.
- How our improvements left us with a building worth more than it was when we originally underwrote it.

For many real estate investors, it makes sense to invest in your own backyard. For others, passive real estate investing through syndications in another country makes even more sense, with more profit.
In this episode, I’m joined by Ava Benesocky and August Biniaz, Co-Founders of CPI Capital. Ava and August launched their company years ago with the intention to be an owner/operator, but they’ve since switched gears to focus on private equity and syndication.
Despite being based in Vancouver, British Columbia, their investment deals are with very experienced operators in the Sun Belt. They have raised and deployed tens of millions of dollars and have over $200 million in assets under management.

Growth isn't easy when you're building a company worth $200 million. It's hard to have a clear hierarchy of what everyone is doing and how they're doing it.
For example, our portfolio will soon have about 3,000 units. We have at least 25 in-house staff as property managers and leasing agents. We also have 25 out-of-house to handle repairs and maintenance, 80 people on our CapEx crews, and a small handful of individuals in our corporate office.
What makes this arrangement work? Even though I'm usually focused on investor relationships, underwriting acquisitions, and analysis, our so-called C-suite isn't driving Ferraris and eating lobster while everyone else is taking the bus to work and surviving off of hot dogs. That's not how it works.
In today's conversation, I want to talk about the difference between having your head in the clouds versus hanging out in the dirt. And more importantly, why having mutual respect between your employees, no matter what their role is in the company, is critical to your success.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- Why you need great working teams in order to focus on what you (and your best employees) do best.
- Why so many construction companies fall apart–and how you can use their failings to your advantage.
- How new entrepreneurs and investors can get out of the dirt and into the clouds.
- Why it’s so important for you as a leader to put in one-on-one time with your employees.

No one can deny that we’re living in uncertain times. There’s political unrest all over the world, rampant inflation, and countless problems in our supply chains. As real estate investors, all these factors play a role in your deals, whether they influence your purchase price or if the appliances your tenants need are going to arrive now or in 6 months.
However, as you’ll learn today, even if you can’t predict the future, you can still build a portfolio of high-performing investments that keeps pace with an ever-changing world.
That’s why I’m thrilled to have Jake Harris join me today. Jake has over 18 years of experience in real estate, construction, and investment management. His fields of expertise include opportunity zones, infill development, cost control systems, and scaling distressed investments.
He’s also the author of Catching Knives, a book in which he shares not just the story of how he got involved in commercial real estate investing, but also some very specific strategies and tools you can use as you line up your first deal.
In our conversation, Jake and I discuss how to make good investments in high-stress environments–and the 6 things that you should include in your real estate stress tests. You’ll also learn why now is the time for the very best operators and investors to rise to the top of this industry, and the hard lessons he learned over the course of almost two decades in commercial real estate.
Key Takeaways with Jake Harris
- How Jake got his start in commercial real estate.
- Why investors and operators are never doing enough due diligence before construction.
- Why Jake is sourcing domestic supply instead of buying from Korea, Ukraine, or elsewhere.
- The six things you should include in your real estate stress tests.
- Why goals are a great way to win one time, but success is built off of systems.

I wanted to jump on real quick to give an update on a property we purchased last year with some really exciting numbers and progress we’ve made. We’ll see what happens with interest rates, but these renovations could push the value by tens of millions of dollars in a few years.
In April 2021, we bought and closed on Waterford Grove, a 552 unit property in Houston, Texas, with a purchase price of $70 million. After $3.5M for rehab, plus our closing costs, prepaids, and escrows which put us all in for roughly $79 million.
Since then, we’ve successfully done a number of exterior repairs and added dozens of new units to the rent roll by splitting some of the 3 bedroom units. With the way this is shaping up, we could be looking at a valuation of as much as $110-115 million in just a few years!
If you’re wondering how we did it, today’s episode is for you. I will walk you through why we did the deal and how having the right team in place gave us the confidence to proceed and set us up for success. And finally, the most important thing to know when co-sponsoring and co-syndicating deals. (HINT: It isn’t the other owners!)
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- Why who’s on the ground and doing the work matters way more than who owns a building.
- How we added dozens of new 1 bedroom units to the property.
- Why it’s so important to hire an enterprise-level property manager.
- The value of producing high quality quarterly investor updates.

Even with interest rates going up and the economy seeming to be tapped out, we’re still bullish on housing–especially apartments, multifamily, and build-to-rent communities. These properties are proving to be great investments, especially for first deals, and you’re all but guaranteed to find renters for years to come.
For this conversation, I’m excited to be talking with Sam Bates. Sam is the CEO of Bates Capital Group. Since 2009, he’s been directly involved in acquisitions, repositions, dispositions, and sales of over $200 million in assets.
His portfolio currently has 1,035 units in Texas and the Southeast, with 1,100 units in the development pipeline. He recently bought a property for $16 million, added a couple of million dollars in upgrades and now it’s valued at $32 million!
Today, Sam joins the podcast to talk about his recent wins, why he bought into a company focused on single-family build-to-rent (and how it makes him money), and his advice for anyone that is looking to get into single-family or multifamily investing.
Key Takeaways with Sam Bates
- Why build-to-rent communities are satisfying renters’ needs.
- How he evaluates build-to-rent deals in both single and multifamily units.
- Why it makes sense for new investors to start as a limited partner before entering into a general partnership.
- How to manage properties and oversee investments.
- Why the United States is becoming a renter nation–and why we’re so bullish on multifamily in syndications.

Even in uncertain economic times like the ones we’re living in, people will always pay for three things: food, clothing, and shelter. What does this mean for you? It’s simple: right now, multifamily real estate is still one of the safest assets you can invest in.
Today’s guest, Greg Lyons, knows this as well as anyone. He and his brother are licensed capital raisers through their company, Cityside Capital. He also has his own podcast, Passive Income Brothers, where he focuses on how people can become passive real estate investors.
In our conversation, you’ll learn what it takes to raise capital for multifamily and self-storage deals. You’ll also learn how he became a licensed capital raiser and what kind of opportunities he’s been able to create for himself.
We then discuss the 77-unit condo project in Boise that Greg built half of at the right time–and what happened when he built the other half at the exact wrong time.
Key Takeaways with Greg Lyons
- What’s on Greg’s radar right now when it comes to investment opportunities–and why people are still so hungry for multifamily real estate, even in more bearish markets.
- Why inflation in the United States is creating a nation of renters–and why this bodes so well for multifamily investors.
- The process for becoming a licensed capital raiser and why Greg and his brother went that route.
- Why Greg got licensed and how he taps into “daydream investors” to create opportunities for people who otherwise don’t have the time to invest.
- What Greg learned by building condos in Boise in 2007 and 2008–and how he got involved in real estate again after the Great Recession.
- Greg’s favorite books, podcasts, and thinkers to help you better understand the market and find deals.

In this episode, I want to share some very simple steps that you can use to build a brand to help you raise capital and acquire more assets as quickly as possible.
Ultimately, I want to help answer the question: What does it take to build a brand so that clients are always ready to do business with you?
We recently had a webinar with the goal of raising $5.4M for a new multifamily syndication. And because we’ve built our brand, built relationships, and built trust with those relationships, we were able to secure almost $9M in soft reservations in less than a week, with a lot of that money coming from recurring investors.
I’ll run through the steps that I’ve personally used, which have been huge factors in my success today. When you’re trying to raise money to get deals funded, you want to have the chips stacked in your favor, and in this episode, I’ll show you how you can make that happen in your business.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- Josh’s Process to Build a Brand and Raise Capital:
- Create online content with a content machine with an online brand.
- Turn your content into social media posts on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn and any others.
- Create live events face to face interactions or even virtual events like a masterclass.
- Become a guest on other podcasts.
- Ensure that you have a Call to Action on your branded website.
- Build your email list and broadcast your content automatically with an email blast or with a physical newsletter.
- Get your subscribers on a one-on-one call or strategy session to develop the relationship.

If you’re looking to grow from residential to commercial (or residential to multifamily), don’t have an expensive education (or don’t use yours), and want to have amazing success, today’s conversation is for you.
My guest is Spencer Gray. He’s the president of Gray Capital, where he leads and develops investment strategy, performance, due diligence, and underwriting for their multifamily portfolio. He started in 2006 as a residential investor straight out of high school and has since been involved in over $1 billion worth of transactions and controls over $500M in real estate assets.
The best part about Spencer’s path, is that it’s one that you can start following right now. You can start doing deals, scaling capital, and creating amazing opportunities for yourself, just like he did–and just like I did.
In this amazing conversation, Spencer and I discuss what makes the multifamily market of 2022 so different from 2019, why top-line revenue keeps growing, and how to find Midwestern markets that are cash flow positive and appreciating by 15-20%.

For real estate investors with a proven track record, if you know you’re qualified to do a deal, there’s nothing more annoying than when a broker asks you to fill out a buyer questionnaire.
Though it ostensibly helps the seller determine who they want to “award” a deal to when there are multiple competing offers, it’s hard not to feel like they’re a waste of your time–especially when you know you’re going to have no trouble closing the deal.
So, when you get asked to complete a buyer questionnaire, how do you make sure that your questionnaire is at the top of the pile?
In this episode, I’m going to talk about what you can do to stand out on those buyer questionnaires, how to qualify as a premier buyer, and convince a seller that you’ll have no trouble delivering the money when it comes time to close.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- What exactly a buyer questionnaire is, why it exists, and why they’re so annoying.
- How to treat the buyer questionnaire like a brag book to help close deals.
- Focus on your credibility in the questionnaire by including numbers, pictures, and your dealmaking and investment philosophies.
- The value of putting up earnest money in the buying process.
- Why it’s a great idea to talk about challenges and roadblocks in previous deals, and how you overcame them in your buyer questionnaire.

I've got a really great episode for you today. For anyone interested in learning about what the economic outlook is for apartment rentals in the US, I've got you covered.
I recently listened to a webcast with Hessam Nadji, the CEO of Marcus & Millichap, who was joined by the former Secretary of the United States Treasury, Hank Paulson. The other guest speakers were the President and CEO of TruAmerica MultiFamily, Robert E. Hart, and the President and CEO of ICSC, Tom McGee.
This incredible conversation brought together some of the most successful and knowledgeable people in the field with one of the largest apartment transaction coordinators, brokers, and advisors, a one-of-a-kind expert. They went into great detail about growth in our economy, apartment rental industry, e-commerce and much more.
While I highly recommend you listen to this conversation, I wanted to share my notes and big takeaways from this event, specifically for multifamily real estate investors.
You'll learn why apartment rentals are expected to stay hot, why rent growth is happening in markets all over the United States, and why real estate will remain stable–even in the face of inflation.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- Why demand for apartment rentals isn’t expected to drop anytime soon.
- Key reasons that rent growth is happening all over the country–and the trends driving this growth.

Even if you’re really, really good at it, residential real estate is a rat race. Whether you rent single-family homes or you’re fixing them up and flipping them, you’re participating in a transactional business–and one that can get exhausting.
Today’s guest, Chad King, knows this well. He’s closed over 450 wholesale fix-and-flip properties and did 168 residential deals in 2019 alone. This experience made him realize that he needed to make a change and pivot into commercial multifamily and syndication. Since making this change, Chad has purchased 635 units of multifamily apartments with no signs of stopping.
In our conversation today, you’ll hear how Chad took the leap, grew his portfolio after purchasing his first 14-unit building, and continues to find great deals today.
We’ll also discuss investing in the time of rampant inflation, why neither of us would have gone to college if presented with the opportunity now, and how to structure your finances to get out of the rat race once and for all so that you can build a portfolio that works for you.
Key Takeaways with Chad King
- How Chad purchased and converted a 21-unit motel into a luxury Airbnb–and how to structure a short-term rental deal.
- Why Chad believes that money actually does grow on trees if you create enough value to attract money with the proper mindset.
- How some failures can be a good thing.
- The value of taking a me-first mentality in dealmaking.
- Why people who are trying to save money are missing out.
- Why schools fail to teach cooperation, and turn out employees instead of entrepreneurs, and ultimately fail to give so many people the education they really need.

Lately, I’ve realized that we all have the power to decide exactly what our lives will be. There are more free tools and resources to empower you to succeed than ever before. In some ways, schooling and college degrees have become completely outdated.
I believe that anyone can transform their life–financial and otherwise–in less than a year. You don’t need supportive parents or a head start to do it, either. All you need is to shift your mindset, get rid of things that don’t serve you, and take advantage of the countless opportunities hiding in plain sight.
Today, I want to talk to you about how to attract success, radiate optimism, and live the life you’ve always wanted to live and share 8 simple life hacks to help you do it.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- Assume you’re the smartest person in the world and that everything that will fulfill you can be achieved.
- Spend every day fighting for your ideal outcome.
- Stop engaging with things that are negative, and fill your day with the things that are positive and make you happy like music or books.
- Turn off the news, celebrate your friends’ victories instead of gossiping about their failures, and cut out the pessimists in your life.
- How working out, drinking less, and eating better will cure your negativity and pessimism.

As you get ready to do any deal, you’re probably asking a number of questions: how should it be structured? How can I raise the money, and what do I do with it once it’s in the fund?
Today’s guest, Kenneth Gee, has answered these questions many times. As the founder and CEO of KRI partners, he creates wealth with investors through multifamily real estate. He’s bought and sold thousands of units, as well as owned and operated buildings in Cleveland and Florida.
He’s also the author of the free e-book, Multifamily Real Estate Is a Total Gamechanger. In it, he walks you through the process of how to make money through passive real estate investing, how the worlds of funding and syndication work, and how to vet sponsors. Ordinary people have used Ken’s methods to get into great deals and make fantastic money, and he’s just as passionate about helping create opportunities as he is protecting you from bad actors.
In my conversation with Ken, we dive deep into the tools and strategies he’s used to build a thriving business. You’re also going to hear all about a virtual event called The Money Show that we’ve never talked about before, and you’re going to love learning how to use it to raise and recruit investors.
Key Takeaways with Ken Gee
- How to stand up and structure a blind pool fund for multifamily real estate acquisitions.
- Why successful real estate investors live on Zoom.
- How to eliminate equity raise risk.
- Why your second deal will be 90% easier than your first.

In this episode, I want to share a great strategy to get your CapEx team rolling and get those vacant units filled quickly.
For context, we recently purchased the Forest Ridge Apartments–a 220 unit development on Chevrolet Boulevard in Parma, Ohio.
This building had 39 units being turned over by our capital improvements team, which updated the flooring, kitchens, hardware, bathrooms, paint, and more. We wanted them not just finished but leased.
So, what did we do? We hosted a leasing event, which is essentially an open house. In addition to helping your units turn a profit faster, a leasing event also forces your capital improvement and construction teams to get those units completed and ready for viewing.
In today’s episode, I explain why we took this approach and created a hard deadline and everything we accomplished because of it. You’ll learn how to deploy this strategy to accelerate the turnaround on your projects, get those vacancies filled, and create positive cash flow now instead of weeks from now.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- How leasing events force your teams to put in the hours to get your units ready to turn a profit.
- When to set a leasing event date for a building you’re in the process of stabilizing.
- When to drop advertising rates on certain units and why it has only a minimal impact on your bottom line.
- Why it’s more important to fill vacancies than to lease at the top of the market.
- How we dealt with a brutal snowstorm hitting us 24 hours before the event–and how the importance of building great connections and relationships.

Once you’ve done the deal and purchased the property, that doesn’t mean your work is done. Your 20, 50, or 80-unit building may be new to you, but it’s likely distressed.
If your new property hasn’t been updated in many years, then it’s time to build a game plan to meet your goals, maximize your profits, and ensure your tenants have great, safe places to live in.
That’s why I’m excited to share this interview with my new friend, Van Sturgeon. Van has over 30 years of investing experience and personally owns over 1,200 properties across North America. Throughout his career, he’s focused on the art of renovation. He’s renovated thousands of homes and commercial properties, written several books, and published in a wide variety of media outlets.
In our conversation, Van walks me through his strategies to rehab, renovate, and transform distressed properties sustainably. You’ll learn how to smartly allocate your CapEx budget, the traps that so many first-time buyers fall into when making renovations, and the key elements to making your first multifamily deal a great one.
Key Takeaways with Van Sturgeon
- How to use realistic goals to craft a smart and sustainable renovation strategy.
- How to create a needs and wants list to determine where your CapEx spend belongs.
- The importance of not only walking through your buildings, but your competitors’ buildings as well.
- The most common mistakes for first-time real estate investors.
- Overcoming the unique challenges of trying to plan and manage renovations remotely.
- Why building long-term relationships is so critical to finding great deals and making them work.

At the end of the day, what really matters to me isn’t the money–it’s whether or not I enjoy what I do.
When I put my head down on the pillow at the end of the day, I want to be able to say, “Man, I had fun.” Whether I was evaluating deals, going to lunch with a client, recruiting capital, coaching with my kids, working out, that’s what keeps me going.
In 2022, after sprinting and focusing on lots of things that I didn’t always want to do to grow a great business, my goal is to feel joy. I’ve realized that power and ego don’t matter and will never feel as good as being able to tell my wife that I had fun at the end of the day.
In this episode, my hope is that you’ll take a few moments to think about the things that make you happy so that you can experience joy in every aspect of your life. When it’s all said and done, there’s no point in putting in all those long hours and creating a successful business if you can’t find some time to find some joy in your life along the way.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- Understanding what matters at the end of the day, or in 50 years.
- The joy in doing the little stuff that gets projects across the goal line.
- How to keep your work focused on the parts that give you joy, rather than fighting or sprinting all the time.
- How to measure your instincts and find your flow state.
- The value of reflecting on what gives you joy.

The world of self storage has changed a lot in the last 15 years. Since 2008, investors have had incredible opportunities to turn around underperforming mom-and-pop businesses or convert unused property into more of this in-demand asset class. And nobody knows this better than today’s guest, AJ Osborne.
Since we last spoke in July of 2020, AJ has become one of the world’s top 70 self-storage operators. He’s also the bestselling author of The Investor’s Guide to Growing Wealth in Self Storage and host of Self Storage Income, the number one podcast in his field.
In our conversation, AJ walks me through how and why he’s chosen to focus on self storage, what he’s doing to maximize his value as the world emerges from COVID, and what investors in this asset class need to know as they navigate the unique challenges of the US economy in 2022.
Key Takeaways with AJ Osborne
- The three strategies AJ uses for investing in self storage.
- Why the self storage industry underwent a dramatic transformation in 2008, creating a massive opportunity for investors.
- Why self storage outperformed so many other asset classes during the COVID pandemic.
- How rising costs and changing interest rates have affected AJ’s operations.
- Why both multifamily and self storage rents are likely to keep rising.
- AJ’s two keys to success in real estate investing.

When you're building a company and creating a culture, I think it's essential that we understand that nobody is more important than anyone else. Everyone on your team is a key component to your success, and whenever you get to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty, it's a great reminder of the roles that everyone has in that success.
There's also a huge difference between doing the bare minimum and going above and beyond. If done right, it doesn't just create better living experiences for your tenants–it can have a significant impact on your overall valuation.
Last year, we did a deal called 52 Lake: the Clifton Lakes Apartments on Lake Avenue in Cleveland. It's a very walkable area located right by Lake Erie. As we started to work on the building, we realized that we had the potential to create an additional million dollars in stabilized value but that we'd need to put more than double what we'd initially planned on CapEx to make it happen. On top of that, we also want these apartments leased, signed, and filled by the end of March to make it cash-flow positive on April 1.
I'm thrilled that we're now way ahead of schedule and on track to be pro forma a year in advance–despite going over budget by over $400,000!
In this episode, I break down why we went over budget to change this deal for the better. You'll also learn the most important thing you can do as a CEO to build relationships with your crews, inspire amazing work when you need it most, and develop a fundamental understanding of the work that goes into your deals.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- The best thing you can do to get great work out of your property managers and crews.
- Why we saw value in going over budget on our CapEx with this project and where the money went.
- How to tell if a deal still works when you deliberately go over budget.
- Why you should walk every unit of your buildings.
- How we’re going to aggressively market 52 Lake to ensure that the building is filled by April 1, 2022.

- The lessons he learned during Michigan’s seven-year foreclosure crisis.

If you've been a real estate investor for any length of time, you probably know that every deal doesn't always go according to plan. Problems can arise at any point in the process, but with the right team and the proper mindset, you'll find a way out to make it work and get the deal done. And that’s what today’s episode is all about.
In November of last year, we bought and closed a 50 unit property in Lakewood, Ohio, and another 170 unit property in Cleveland. We called the deal 220 Brookside Shady. We agreed to purchase it for no more than $14.85 million and raised the money with the intention of closing on December 30th.
On December 29th, at 9:16am, we found out that due to a change in the appraisal value, we were going to be short by $933,000. This meant that we had one day to raise an extra million dollars to save $200,000–and the deal. No problem, right?
In this episode, I will break down exactly what we did to avoid missing out or overpaying on this deal. I'll also share what we learned from this real-life case study to help you apply them as you work through the challenges, setbacks, and inconveniences you face as you close your own deals.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- Why it was important to close the deal by December 31st.
- How the appraised value came up $933,000 less than anticipated, and the steps we took to cover the difference.
- Why appraisals typically come in short and how you can prepare for this.
- The value and peace of mind that comes with raising more than what you need for your deals.
- How we increase our credibility with brokers and real estate agents by closing deals quickly.
- A reminder that the relationships you build with private investors can help you out of tough situations.

Camilla has been a real estate investor for 18 years. Her journey began while renting a poorly converted garage apartment with her husband. When she asked her landlord for advice on how to get started in real estate, their response was simple: Buy a house that has a basement apartment.

In this conversation, Camilla peels back the onion to share her journey from garage-unit renter to a burnt-out landlord to a multifamily investor.

When I look back on our accomplishments in 2021, we achieved a tremendous amount. My team was able to purchase almost 1,400 units worth of apartments, with a total purchase price of $120 million and a stabilized value of $180 million.
The thought of making that many deals with those numbers a few years ago would have seemed impossible. Don't get me wrong, I'm very proud of what we were able to do last year, but that's not what I want to talk about today.
There is one thing that I needed to do before I could accomplish those goals, I needed to get over my fears. Fear of getting into commercial real estate, fear of setting big goals, and even the fear of accomplishing them.
Fast forward to today. Every time I make a deal, there's a little voice in my head that says, "God, I hope this doesn't even go through."
In today's episode, I won’t be talking about how to live a life without fear. Instead, I want to teach you how to focus on how to overcome your fears, focus on what matters most, and get out of your own way so that you can make your dreams come true.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- Where our fear comes from and how it’s built into our bodies.
- The value of focusing on what’s most important to you to overcome fear.
- How your capacity to accept and push the boundaries can prove to be a valuable personality trait.
- How to assess risk when looking at commercial real estate deals.
- How to reduce the risks of a real estate deal and best position yourself to succeed.
- Why fear is never as important as happiness.

Now that 2022 is underway, many of you have set goals and made big plans for the year. And what I really want to talk about today is, what makes you happy? There is so much judgment going on right now about politics and our freedom of choice that it’s easy to lose focus on what’s important.
So I want to help you get clarity as you chart your course for the new year. I want you to set authentic goals that are truly your own, that make you happy and help you get excited to accomplish whatever it is that you want to do.
In this episode, I talk about how to seek happiness in a world that’s never felt more divided. But more importantly, how you can set financial goals in service of your happiness instead of material stuff, and how to let go of your judgment, stop caring about things that don’t matter, and live life on your terms.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell * Why it’s so easy to set inauthentic goals in order to please other people. * How your financial goals can help you better serve your family and community. * The happiness that comes with having freedom of choice. * How to talk through your financial goals with your loved ones and get the support you need to make them happen. * Why there’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all goal. * What Josh’s plans are in 2022.

Jay has been investing in real estate since 2003. After a few years of early struggles, he’s gone on to raise millions of dollars of private money and built a robust portfolio of single-family rentals and small apartment buildings.

In all the interviews that I’ve ever done, this one just might be my favorite one yet. My guest today is a long time friend, Mike Zlotnk. I thought his insights on hotel to multifamily conversions were fascinating and the economics of stripping out cash flow and depreciation and then giving them to different types of investor groups was equally brilliant.
Mike is the CEO of TF Management Group, LLC which runs four real estate investment funds. He has been a debt and equity investor in real estate since 2000. After a successful 15 year career in IT, he pivoted to real estate investing because of his passion for real estate and its predictability of outcome and risks.
I was completely blown away with how Mike structures preferred equity versus common equity, common equity versus mezzanine debt, how he pulls out the cash flow in an A share, and how to strip out the depreciation through a cost segregation study in a B share. I’ll definitely be using this in my own company, and I’m sure some of you will too.
In this interview, we also dive into how Mike raises capital, what makes a hotel property an ideal candidate for a multifamily conversion, why hotel conversions are generally low risk investments, and so much more!
Key Takeaways with Mike Zlotnik
- Why Mike decided to focus on hotel to multifamily conversions.
- How he structures preferred equity versus common equity shares.
- How you can pull out the cash flow in a Class A share and use the depreciation through a cost segregation study in a Class B share.
- The ideal hotel properties that are best suited for conversions to multifamily properties.
- Why high-rise properties are not ideal candidates for conversions.
- The three most common ways to enter the multifamily real estate investing space.
- Why conversions are a lower risk investment than building from the ground up, especially with the current costs of supplies and labor.

At this point, most real estate investors are familiar with value-add improvements. All the standard upgrades like countertops, flooring, and bathrooms. But what about the closets? Well, my guest today has found a niche that is creating an average increase of $45/unit with a 37% ROI with less than 3 hours of labor!
Jim Monk is the President of Clozzits.com. He’s been a serial entrepreneur for 17 years, he’s helped build three multi-million dollar companies and his newest venture has expanded into 18 markets in just two and a half years.
His company has developed a program to increase rents by 3% to 8% while improving the net operating income of your buildings and your asset value. And they’ve worked with huge companies like Katerra, Harbor Group, MMA, and Pinnacle and hundreds of thousands of units.
In this episode, Jim talks about how the idea of renovating closets got started, the incredible organic growth that they’ve had and shares how their simple process can add so much value to your properties. We also dig into his thoughts (and concerns) with cryptocurrencies and whether or not these hot markets in the US are sustainable. This is a jam-packed interview that I know you won’t want to miss.
Key Takeaways with Jim Monk
- How Clozzits help to make your units stand apart from your competitors.
- Jim’s concerns with the big players in the multifamily real estate space and how inflation costs could impact returns in the future.
- How his company can help investors to get a 37% ROI with an average increase of $45/unit.
- The beauty of the simplicity, the quality, the costs and the turnaround time for the completed work.
- Why newer entrepreneurs should seek advice from those who are at least two steps ahead of them. Meaning if you own 100 units, talk to somebody that owns a thousand units.
- Jim’s thoughts on cryptocurrency, both the positive aspects and the negative.
- Predictions on whether or not the hot markets continue to be hot in the next 3-5 years, especially in the Sunbelt markets.
- Why building processes and procedures are the most important key to success for scaling a business and managing people.

In today’s world, the perception is that bigger is always better. But that’s not always the case with real estate investing. And my guest today is fully aware that there’s still great profits to be made with those smaller multifamily properties.
Tim Vest is the Founder of Harvest Properties Group, and has more than 15 years of experience in real estate and development. Like many real estate investors, his journey started with fixing and flipping single-family homes until he was able to scale his business out of residential and pivot to multifamily properties.
While the vast majority of his portfolio has been created with properties that are 20 units and up, he hasn’t lost sight of the fact that the smaller multifamily properties still offer great returns. With less competition and higher cap rates than the 80 or 100+ unit properties, he’s been able to keep the cash flowing and his investors happy.
In this episode, we’re going to talk about why these smaller properties are yielding bigger ROI, some of the lessons he learned from flipping single-family homes which led him to pivot to multifamily, and why you shouldn’t wait until everything falls into place before you make deals.

Don’t wait for that perfect deal to fall into place. * The key to finding deals is by constantly networking. * The importance of never putting yourself in a position where you only have one exit.

In the real estate investor world, it’s very easy to be laser-focused on raising capital, raising rents, and increasing your bottom line. But one thing that can cripple a business is adding more debt to maximize profits.
My guest today is Hunter Thompson. Hunter has helped hundreds of investors close deals in commercial real estate and controls $100M in assets. He is the Founder of Asym Capital, the Host of the Cash Flow Connections Real Estate Podcast and the author of Raising Capital for Real Estate: How to Attract Investors, Establish Credibility, and Fund Deals.

Hunter shares his AENC system and how that has been at the core of his success.

If you’ve been thinking about making the plunge into real estate investing, then you’ll definitely want to hear the wisdom from today’s guest, George O’Brien. After 6 short years as a real estate investor, he’s already retired and is living life on his terms.
George got his start in residential real estate and smaller multifamily deals and then quickly pivoted to larger multifamily properties after closing on 40 deals in a two year period. With his background in construction, he was able to do a lot of the work himself early on until he was able to grow his team.
He attributes a lot of his success to investing in smaller deals, which allowed him to forge strong relationships with like-minded investors, and build trust with the banks and his community.
In this conversation, you’ll learn the steps George took to quickly grow his portfolio, how to invest in real estate no matter where it’s located, and why the best path to success is starting early!
Key Takeaways with George O’Brien
- The importance of getting started early as a real estate investor. The sooner the better.
- What it takes to successfully pivot from residential investing to multifamily properties.

- Why George prefers the direct to seller route to find new deals.
- For a successful partnership, align yourself with like-minded people.
- The importance of doing your due diligence, especially when you’re making cold calls with people you’re not familiar with.
- Always be ready to capitalize on deals and make sure that you have the resources ready to go so that you don’t risk ever losing a deal.
- How to live where you want and invest where it makes sense.
- Be wary of working with family and who you choose to partner with as it’s much harder to end a relationship then to start one.
- How you can showcase your talents and attract outside investors.

In my latest podcast interview, I’m speaking with Michael Ealy, whose story is proof that anyone can make it in the real estate industry if they’re willing to keep pushing forward.
In the early 2000s, Mike lost everything; his car wash business, his rental properties, even his own home. With no money and bad credit, he was forced to move in with his parents at 30 years old.

In my latest podcast interview, I’m speaking with David Pere. David is the founder of “From Military to Millionaire”, where his mission is to teach service members, veterans, and their families how to build wealth through real estate investing—so they can retire early and enjoy the freedoms they fought for!

While stationed in Hawaii, David went on to buy a 10-unit apartment in Missouri and was able to use bank-financing, seller-financing, and a home equity line of credit to purchase the property with less than 5% down—and great terms!
In today’s conversation, David and I chat about how he achieved financial freedom in 2021, and transitioned from active duty into the Marine Corps Reserve in order to devote his time to showing other service members and veterans how to achieve the same!

Anthony Metzger had never done a real estate deal in his life. He literally had ZERO experience, but after listening to a podcast about apartment syndication he knew he wanted to do something big.
So, he found a private equity firm that was actively syndicating deals, reached out to them, and asked how he could add value. Their answer was to find an apartment building that met their investment criteria. He spent the next year and a half educating himself, calling brokers, sourcing deals, underwriting deals, and making offers. 18 months later, he presented a deal to the syndication firm and they closed on it.
This was his first deal ever, and it was a 218-unit apartment complex that they purchased for $11M!
In my conversation with Anthony, you’ll learn exactly how he was able to make it happen, despite not having any credibility, leverage, or experience.
Key Takeaways with Anthony Metzger
- How Anthony partnered with an active syndicator to close on a 218-unit deal—with no experience!

A great tactic for increasing your deal flow.\ - How you can get more practice analyzing deals.

As the saying goes, it’s the little things that can make a big difference!
In this episode, I’m going to walk you through 10 very simple techniques and strategies that will help you drive income, increase your profits, reduce your expenses and improve your bottom line, when purchasing a new multifamily property.
There is a general understanding that in order to make money you have to renovate and increase the rents. But if you want to truly maximize your profits, there is more work to be done.
A lot of the tips that I’m going to share might sound like no-brainers, but you’d be amazed at how often we see other property owners make incredibly simple mistakes that end up costing them a ton of money. If you could save 25-35% on your water bill and thousands of dollars every year on utilities, why wouldn’t you do that? Spending $300-400 per unit on plumbing upgrades can literally save you tens of thousands each year.
Today, you’ll learn the exact system our team has in place to make sure that we’re taking advantage of every opportunity to make money and turn a profit on every unit.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- Improve the resident experience and upgrade the units.
- People will pay more for a better experience.
- Raise the rents and consider using dynamic pricing by changing the rent prices by month or by season to take advantage of peak moving times of the year.
- Lower the utility costs by upgrading to LED lights wherever possible.
- Include a partial amount of the utilities on the tenants bill.
- These are all benefits and features that you're offering, so bill it back to them.
- Run a segregation study on the building by having an accounting team come in and segregate the soft and hard costs of the property.
- Eliminate poor management. So many properties have third party management companies with a terrible expense ratio.
- Quickly turn the units and fill them. Have a plan to turn vacant units into rented units within a few weeks.
- Find one cable and internet provider to wire the entire building, lock in the contact and resell cable and internet to the tenants for a profit.
- Water conservation is huge. We install low-flow systems on everything like toilets, shower heads and faucets. This can often help reduce the water and sewer bill by 25-35% each year. And be sure to look out for slow leaks as they literally flush your profits down the drain.
- Get multiple quotes from contractors for your CapEx items like paving, landscaping, trash and snow removal. You can save thousands of dollars just by shopping around.
- We have $20 million in private capital that we are looking to use in the next 3-6 months so please contact us at Freeland Ventures if you’re looking to partner up on a deal.

Despite the stigma associated with mobile homes, there’s no question that they’re an incredible investment vehicle. Not only that, but they create a much needed solution to the affordable housing crisis in America.
And hey, I totally get that buying a mobile home park may be a little intimidating, especially to a first time real estate investor, but you don’t have to start there. Simply buying and flipping a single mobile home is an easy way to get your foot in the door, and offers some incredible benefits; low barrier to entry, low competition, little skill required, massive demand, and if that’s not enough, the BEST returns in the business!

I just got off the phone with one of my coaching members, and he posed a very good question that I thought would be great for the podcast…
“I’m buying the land for a residential assisted living deal. I’ve secured the land, the loan is set up, and I’ve partnered with a couple of guys. But I’m doing everything myself, and there just doesn’t seem to be enough time. You’ve got 3,000+ units. How do you do it Josh?”
Most people don’t realize how much work it actually takes to run a commercial real estate business. Not only will doing it alone limit your growth, but it’s a surefire way to completely burnout.
Yes, I may have 3,000+ rental units, but I also still have a life. I coach my daughter’s volleyball team, I coach my son’s football team, I get to spend time with my wife, I get to vacation, go to the gym, and lot’s more. I can still do all of these things—but that’s because the weight of the business isn’t resting only on my shoulders.
The commercial real estate business is a team sport and I’ve learned how to play the game! If you want to scale up and do more deals, you have to know how to build your dream team and divide up the responsibilities. That’s what you’re going to learn all about on today’s episode!
Key Takeaways
- How to invest in commercial real estate without spending your whole life working.
- The importance of dividing up roles and responsibilities between you and your operating partners.
- Where do you find your dream team?
- The organizational structure of my company and what every team member is responsible for.
- What percentage of your business should you give up to bring on the right people?

In my latest podcast interview, I’m speaking with Whitney Sewell, who went from no experience in real estate, to scaling to over 1,000 doors valued at $150 million—in just 4 years!
Before ever investing in real estate, Whitney served in the military and spent a full year in Iraq fighting for our country. After returning home, he got married, joined the police force, invested in a few properties, and even bought a farm to pursue a horse training business on the side.
Unfortunately, his fast-paced lifestyle left little time for his family, so he decided to sell the farm, quit his job, and pursue multifamily real estate full-time.
He bought a few triplexes for his first few deals, and admits to making a ton of mistakes along the way. But the work ethic and “never give up” mindset he learned in the military, would become his real estate super power.
Today, Whitney is host of The Real Estate Syndication Show and Founder of Life Bridge Capital—a syndicated multifamily investment firm that works with investors on strategically targeted multifamily properties.
In our conversation, you’ll learn exactly how he was able to scale so quickly, the benefits of a multifamily fund structure (versus one-off deals), and how to leverage the skills of others to build a highly successful real estate business!
Key Takeaways with Whitney Sewell
- What is a multi-asset fund and how does it help passive investors mitigate risk and diversify their cash-flow
- Evaluating different multifamily investing strategies—value-add, cashflow, and development deals.
- Going from finding investors to fund your deal, to finding deal flow for your investors.
- The biggest lessons the military taught Whitney during his service in Iraq—and how they apply to real estate investing.
- Making the decision to quit your job to pursue real estate full-time.
- How to uncover your superpower and partner with others to build a highly successful multifamily business.
- Why loyalty is the key to raising money.
- Why Whitney and his wife are on a mission to help families through the process of adoption and have committed 50% of their profits!

Our net operating income was stagnant, we were running into vacancy issues due to COVID, and if that wasn’t enough, we were being sued!
Here’s the deal. We purchased this 164 unit property for $9.2M in August 2019, with a projected valuation of $14.2M after increasing the rents and completing some minor interior upgrades over a two year period.
The problem was, due to COVID, our net operating income stayed flat, we couldn’t get into the units to renovate them, and some of the medical students didn’t return to class at the university nearby.
And on top of that, the local school board sued us when they found out that the property had been sold so that the real estate taxes would be reassessed. We were looking at a $200k increase in real estate taxes, per year!
Thankfully, we were able to get a lot of these issues sorted out and even had a few things work in our favor. It definitely was a bit of a rollercoaster ride, but in today’s episode, you’ll hear how we overcame some of these major challenges.
Key Takeaways : 164 Heights Case Study
- How COVID forced our hand and altered our projections.
- Our net free cash flow nearly doubled thanks to the drop in interest rates.
- How we negotiated a deal with the school board with a one-time payment for the real estate taxes increase.
- Having a good asset manager and business partner paid off in dealing with so many issues during the pandemic like leasing, evictions, and general COVID concerns. Shout out to Jack for everything he did. He was phenomenal.
- The property manager matters! We were so lucky to have someone that the residents trusted during the past year.
- That was another huge bonus that we were able to keep someone like her.
- How our lender and broker were a tremendous help to getting these appraisals completed and navigating through the refinance process.
- Forging great relationships with private investors and being transparent with them builds trust which is a huge asset to making deals in the future.
- How purchasing a Class-A property in a Class-A neighborhood helped overcome the challenges that we faced during COVID.
- Forging great relationships with private investors and being transparent with them builds trust which is a huge asset to making deals in the future.
- How purchasing a Class-A property in a Class-A neighborhood helped overcome the challenges that we faced during COVID.

In my latest podcast interview, I’m speaking with Samson Jagoras. After scaling a tech firm’s revenue from $7M to over $100M in 10 years, Samson walked away from his high-income job to go all-in on helping everyday investors put their money to work in large commercial apartment investments.

Today, I’m breaking down a 52 unit deal we recently purchased on the Gold Coast of Cleveland.
We purchased it for $2.7M (total cost is $3M with the wholesale fee) and after it’s renovated it’s projected to have a stabilized value of $5.2M!
Here’s where things get exciting: Once the renovations are complete, we’ll refinance at 75% LVR and be able to pull out $500k of tax-free refinance proceeds. And while it’s not a huge building with hundreds of units and millions in profit, we’re still going to have about $100k per year in tax free cash flow.
Funny enough, this property was offered to me 15 years ago, but I let my lack of confidence and limiting beliefs hold me back. You’ll hear me explain why I could have made it happen back then, if only I had the mindset that I have today.
I will also walk you through our steps for acquiring the building, making upgrades, bumping rents, and increasing the value to $5.2M!
Key Takeaways
- Negotiating the deal and making it happen after 2 years of persistence!
- The steps we’re taking to push gross income up from $425k to $619K.
- After renovations are complete, refinancing at 75% LVR should generate 500k in tax-free proceeds with enough equity to generate 100k per year in net-free spendable cash flow.
- Never underestimate the power of a positive mindset.
- Why I mistakenly turned down this deal 15 years ago.
- Why networking is critical to your success in sourcing deals.
- Confidence is a choice. It doesn't really matter what other people think of you, what matters is what you think of yourself.
- Don’t let fear or a lack of confidence hold you back.

One of the biggest misconceptions about real estate for first-time investors is that you have to come up with the money yourself, and you have to operate within the bank's terms.
If interest rates go up, too bad. If the economy crashes, that’s on you. If a deal goes awry, you’re the one who’s liable.
Today’s guest, Chris Prefontaine, knows that’s not really the truth—that’s just what we’ve been repeatedly told.
Chris Prefontaine is a 3-time best-selling author of Real Estate on Your Terms, The New Rules of Real Estate Investing, and Moneeka Sawyer’s Real Estate Investing for Women. He’s also the Founder and CEO of SmartRealEstateCoach.com and host of the Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast.
Having been in the real estate game for nearly 30 years, Chris has lived through his fair share of ups and downs. After the economy crashed in 2008, Chris’s real estate business crashed with it, forcing him to start over from nothing. This time, he vowed never to invest in a deal he was personally on the hook for.
Fast forward to today, Chris only buys real estate “on terms” without using any of his own cash or credit—and in today’s episode, you’re going to hear exactly how he does it.
You’ll learn what it means to buy real estate “on terms”, his approach to structuring deals, and the step-by-step system he uses to create 3 paydays for every deal he does.
Key Takeaways with Chris Prefontaine
- How to create 3 paydays for every deal you do.
- Chris’s step-by-step system for buying, structuring, and selling real estate.
- What does it mean to buy real estate “on TERMS”?
- How to structure principal only payments on a seller financed deal.
- Why Chris doesn’t like the flipping/wholesaling model.
- How to buy deals without using any of your own money.
- The difference between a “sandwich lease”, “seller finance”, and “subject to” deal and how to effectively use them to avoid being on the hook personally.
- Why an active mentor/coach is critically important to your real estate success.

As I was taking my daughter to school today for her first day in 6th grade, I couldn’t help but think about the differences between where my family was financially when I was her age compared to where we are now. There are a lot of similarities but there are some pretty stark differences as well. This is what inspired me to jump on the mic and share this story with you today.
To tell the story, you have to know that I grew up in a lower-middle class family on a ranch in Ohio. My father went the traditional route, attended Ohio State University, got his masters degree and started climbing the corporate ladder at Sherwin-Williams.
Things were very traditional at home in our Irish Catholic family. My parents never cursed around us, we ate our meals together and talked about how our days went—at least they tried to get us to talk about our days.Things were fine until the 80’s when my father lost his job at Sherwin-Williams. And when I later found out they had declared bankruptcy it made me realize how proud I was of my father—he never told us and we never had to worry about money.
Dad’s bankruptcy forced him into entrepreneurship, shifted his mindset and ultimately allowed him to achieve tremendous personal and financial success.
There are so many similarities between our lives, and how we’ve achieved the success and freedom that we always wanted, and yet, it was very different when my father was my age and when I was my daughter’s age.
In this episode, I’m going to share some very personal experiences and talk about what I learned from my Dad that helped me succeed in my own entrepreneurial life.
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- How Josh’s father went the traditional route in the corporate world and experienced greater success when he pivoted to entrepreneurship in his 50’s.
- How his father took over a business and increased his net worth by millions of dollars in 6 short years.
- Why bankruptcy eventually led his father to his greatest successes and forever passive income.
- The wild parallels between Josh and his father, and why Josh got into financial planning after college instead of getting into the corporate world.
- How Josh was able to leapfrog some of the challenges that his father had gone through by learning from those experiences and realizing what worked, and what didn’t.
- How Josh and his father essentially became colleagues later in life, going on father and son retreats and talking about business, life and success as equals.
- It’s okay to start small as an entrepreneur. Start small and then grow big.
- Sometimes the chaos in life can lead you to breakthrough decisions.
- Level up with commercial deals as quickly as possible.
- What Josh learned about forever passive income from his father and how they achieved it from different types of businesses.
- Pay attention to those who have been there and done it.
- Whether they are coaches or mastermind members, these are the people that you will learn from the most.

Everyone wants to invest in real estate, but few are willing to put in the work to make it happen.
When it comes to multifamily investing, starting out can certainly be a grind, but if you want to find a good deal, you have to be willing to do what others won’t.
This is something that today’s podcast guest knows all too well. When James Kandasamy first started his multifamily journey, he went to all the brokers, searching for opportunities, but nobody took him seriously.
Instead of giving up, he decided to take things into his own hands. He used a combination of direct mail, cold calling, and his networking skills to find off-market deals and get his foot in the door. To this day, he believes the people who win, are the ones who are willing to do things differently — and that’s exactly how he rose to the top!
James is now the Principal Director of Acquisition and Investor Relations at Achieve Investment Group - a vertically-integrated real estate company, actively engaged in multifamily acquisition, asset management, property, and construction management.
He has identified, underwritten and overseen the acquisition process of over $180M of quality multifamily investments and routinely leads passive investors to an average IRR of more than 20%.
Pretty impressive for a guy who was turned down by all those brokers! Let that be encouragement for any aspiring real estate investors.
In our conversation, we hit on a number of topics related to multifamily investing. You’ll learn about the risks of using bridge loans, Debt Service Coverage Ratio, stress testing, market projections, the deal structure James uses that puts investors first, and how to avoid getting stuck in the debt trap!
Key Takeaways with James Kandasamy
- Off-market deals VS. working with brokers.
- The threat of using a bridge loan to buy a property — especially with rising interest rates.
- Multifamily real estate didn’t crash during covid, but it is under stress — invest wisely!
- Is your deal profitable or losing money? Make sure you understand Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR)
- Multifamily is a great investment vehicle, but if you’re not careful you could get stuck in The Debt Trap!
- The pinch between rising interest rates and cap rate.
- The importance of stress testing your deal.
- The power of being a vertically integrated real estate company.
- Different ways to distribute returns to investors — and why James prefers the waterfall structure.
- Real estate projections for 2021/2022.
- Why multifamily will always be a winning asset class — at least for those who understand how to properly buy and manage a property.
- Why expanding your network and increasing your circle of influence is the best way to learn.

Ok, you’ve made up your mind and you’re prepared to jump into multifamily real estate. You want to buy something, but where do you start? What steps need to be taken in order to actually make an offer and secure a deal?
In this episode of the podcast, I’ll be walking you through what many investors call “The Process.” You’ll learn the framework I use, from gathering all the necessary info from brokers, to underwriting the deal, to creating a letter of intent, and every step in between for being awarded a deal.
I’ve been through this process dozens of times, and have it dialed in. So, if you’re a new or intermediate investor who has never made an offer on a broker-listed deal, this is a high-level overview, just for you!
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell

- Step 2: Evaluating the offering memorandum and financials.
- Step 3: Underwriting the deal.
- Step 4: Scheduling a tour of the property and the first call for offers.
- Step 5: Follow-up phone calls with the listing broker to gather more information
- Step 6: Writing your first LOI
- Step 7: Waiting for a response from the broker.
- Step 8: Taking the top 5-6 offers
- Step 9: Second call for offer date for the top offers
- Step 10: Submitting your second LOI and narrowing down the top 2 buyers
- Step 11: Third call for offers and then seller picks a buyer and awards the deal
- Step 12: LOI is sent to the attorneys and the purchase and sales agreement is completed.

For those who want to invest in real estate, but don't want the responsibility of managing and owning a property OR may not have the capital to invest in bigger deals, syndications are a great investment vehicle. And that’s something we’ve talked a lot about on this show.
But how do you know which syndication is going to serve you best?
Today’s guest, Spencer Hilligoss, is CEO and Co-Founder of Madison Investing — a company that carefully vets sponsors, markets, and deals, to create passive income opportunities for busy professionals (just like you).
What makes Madison Investing different, is that they’re not fixated on growing the fastest, but rather, growing for the long-term. They’re focused on, as Spencer puts it, “mult-deal, multi-year, multi-decade relationships.”
So, when it comes to bringing operators and investors together, his number one priority is being intentional about who he partners with. His approach may take a bit longer, but he believes building solid relationships from the beginning is a better formula for ensuring investors prosper and hit their goals.
In our conversation, you’ll hear about Spencer’s former life as a Silicon Valley tech executive — and why he decided to leave a 13-year track record building high-performing teams across five companies (three of them, software "unicorns"- valued at over $1B).
We also dig into how his company sources deals, finds operators, and serves up strong investment opportunities that offer cash flow and growth for passive investors. That and a whole lot more!
Key Takeaways with Spencer Hilligoss
- Why Spencer believes that having a good framework is essential when making quick and big decisions.
- How Spencer’s company is connecting investors to some of the strongest cash flowing multifamily storage assets across the country.
- The importance of being transparent and why Spencer made the decision to become a registered representative of FINRA.
- Understanding disclosures, risks, and the questions you need to be asking as a multifamily investor.
- Why Spencer believes the syndication space is still young, and what opportunities he sees in it over the next 5, 10 or 15 years.
- Spencer’s approach to sourcing deals, building relationships, and bringing together both operators and passive investors.
- How Spencer’s time and freedom have improved since leaving the tech world prior to the pandemic.
- Setting a passive monthly income target and taking deliberate actions that are aligned with your goals.
- How operators and referrals have been the number one way to find capital and new deals.

In today’s episode, I wanted to share some ways that you can optimize your capital improvements. As I was thinking about some of the challenges we’re facing right now when turning over units with my own business, I thought it would be a great idea to record this solocast because if they’re challenges for us, they’re probably a challenge for you as well.
When you’re involved in multiple projects at the same time, having the right team in place to help manage those projects is crucial. I’m going to run through the top five ways that you can optimize your capital improvements and keep your business running as smoothly and efficiently as possible.
No matter what level you’re at in the real estate and construction industry, there’s something for everyone in this solocast. I’ll run through some of the biggest headaches that we face when it comes to ordering products, managing the inventory, keeping the contractors busy and working on the site so that time isn’t being wasted. As the saying goes, “Time is money” and if you’re wasting time, you’re wasting money.
If the never ending battle of managing and overseeing the day-to-day operations, staying organized and keeping things moving forward is getting difficult, you’re not alone. I’m going to share some ideas that have worked for me, and I’m sure they’ll work for you too. Enjoy!
Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell
- How we handle the issue of getting the delivery of materials to a job site and keeping the contractors on the site.
- When storing materials on site in containers, make sure that everything is labeled to save time and keep the inspectors happy.
- The importance of making sure that every contractor has a detailed scope of work and that all orders are signed, and not changed via text message.
- The reasons why every contractor that we hire is only assigned a maximum number of 2 units at any given time.
- The value in having a runner to go get things if a contractor is missing them, to keep the contractors on the site and working, and not making runs to Home Depot or Lowe’s.

In the world of multifamily real estate, dealing with third party management companies can be a big headache. If you were to ask Feras Moussa, he would tell you that “In a lot of ways, management is the worst business in the world, but it’s a necessary evil.”
Some might find it surprising to hear that creating his own property management company was the right move for his business, but he has no regrets on that decision.
Feras is an entrepreneur at heart, with a tech background. When he left Microsoft, he found his passion for real estate and quickly built a portfolio of rentals and closed 9 deals in his first 12 months!
Eventually, he shifted his focus towards multifamily properties and created Disrupt Equity with his partner Ben Suttles, a company focused on multifamily acquisition and investments for investors. They have raised millions of dollars for syndicators and have been creating strong passive income by leveraging multifamily real estate syndications ever since.
Having dealt with ongoing headaches using third party property management companies, Feras and his partner decided it was time to take things into their own hands. They started their own management company, making the entire process easier to manage and improving accountability at all levels.
In this episode, we discuss the factors that are driving this incredibly hot seller’s market right now, what impact inflation may have on investors, the potential changes to the 1031 exchange and what led Feras and Disrupt Equity to make the decision to create their own property management company. You won’t want to miss this episode.
Key Takeaways with Feras Moussa
- Why Feras believes low interest rates are a huge factor in creating this incredibly hot seller’s market.
- How COVID has actually created additional demand in the real estate market.
- Why so many multifamily property owners have been looking to sell, in some cases 3-5 years earlier than they planned.
- How the risk of inflation could impact the markets, and rent prices. And why that might be a good thing.
- How location has played an even bigger role with Feras’s decisions on where to invest.
- Why Feras leans away from devalue-add deals, and chooses deals with less headaches even if it means the profit is 1% less.
- The added value that Feras has found in creating their own management company, instead of dealing with 3rd party companies-even though it’s not a moneymaker.
- Why Feras is most interested in syndications, and purchasing other syndicators.
- Some of the challenges that Feras’ company faced early on.
- The importance of building your culture and having a bench full of potential staff that are ready to come in and hit the ground running to minimize turnover.
- Why Feras believes the best way to find new deals is by having strong relationships with brokers.
- The reason why referrals are the best way to find investors and partners.

One of the most overlooked real estate investments has to be mobile home parks. But Frank Rolfe has a very different outlook about these properties and has carved out an incredible real estate portfolio to become a legendary mobile home park investor.
His very first purchase was over 20 years ago, and now he’s the 5th largest owner of mobile parks in the US! With his partner Dave Reynolds, they now own properties in 25 states, in 250 communities and have truly made an impact in this sector by improving the quality of life for their residents, despite increasing their rent when necessary.
After running a successful billboard business, he saw an opportunity to buy his first mobile home park and was immediately intrigued by the potential. If you haven’t heard the story of how he purchased his first park for $400,000.00—while only investing $10,000.00 of his own money, you’re in for a real treat.
Frank teaches others how to get started at Mobile Home University. He’s also the host of The Mobile Home Park Mastery Podcast, which is a fantastic resource to learn about this asset class.
If you’ve ever thought about getting involved in real estate investing, but never considered mobile home parks, you don’t want to miss this episode with Frank Rolfe. You’ll hear Frank share the unique advantages of mobile home park investing, the win-win opportunities that they offer and the incredible value that you just don’t find in other properties.
Key Takeaways with Frank Rolfe
- The importance of transparency in providing quarterly and annual reporting.
- Why Frank decided to invest in mobile home parks as opposed to other residential or multifamily investing properties.
- Why the affordable housing aspect was a key factor in Frank’s decision to invest in mobile home parks.
- The importance of having a “moat”—the security to de-risk your investment deals.
- The 5 things to look for when considering purchasing a mobile home park.
- Why increasing the rent is the easiest money-maker since rents are generally so incredibly low.
- Why Frank’s goal is to focus on the land rental aspects, and not the rent-to-own side of mobile home park investing.
- The backstory on how Frank pivoted from being in the billboard business to his first mobile home park investment with a $400,000.00 deal!
- How this is a win-win business, despite raising rents, which adds value to both the residents and local governments.
- The importance of due diligence and applying science to every deal.
- How the recession in 2008 turned out to be one of the best times in the industry.

What should you do if the tax rules change and you’re forced to pay capital gains on a property you sell?
Many of you have probably heard that there’s a possibility that the 1031 exchange will be eliminated by the Biden administration. This is a BIG deal for real estate investors who use this strategy to avoid paying capital gains by rolling them into the next deal.
In the event that the rules do indeed change, you need to have a plan in place and be ready.
That’s why today’s interview with Kim Dyer is so important. Kim is a Founding Partner at Keystone Capital Management Group and an Investment Advisor Representative (IAR).
In our conversation, Kim breaks down section 453 of the tax code, which allows someone to sell a property to a sales trust. The trust (managed by you) would sell the asset to the buyer, and then the funds from that sale would be placed in the trust to be paid out to you over a predetermined period of time.
Using this strategy, not only can you defer capital gains for 20+ years, but you can reinvest the proceeds, get a return on your investment, and have your profit pay the taxes for you at a later date.
If you want to find out more about how you can leverage the government’s money, take advantage of inflation, and defer capital gains, this is a must-listen episode!
Key Takeaways with Kim Dyer
- What the 1031 exchange is used for and how it helps real estate investors pay less in capital gains.
- Understanding section 453 of the tax code—a great alternative to the 1031 exchange that will allow you to defer capital gains tax for 20+ years.
- How does a deferred sales trust work?
- How to reinvest the government’s money and let the profits you earn pay the tax bill on your terms.
- Why Kim is so dedicated to helping real estate investors maximize their returns.
- The value of having a good tax accountant or attorney to ensure you’re taking advantage of every benefit that already exists in the tax code.
- How to leverage a monetized installment sale, to defer your taxes (for up to 30 years) in order to buy more real estate.
- The importance of getting a second opinion when interviewing a financial advisor or tax attorney.

I’m about to make an offer on an $18M property, and today, I want to walk you through my step-by-step process for evaluating the deal — and how I plan to increase the property value to a whopping $27M!
This 360-unit building was built in the 1960’s and has been owned by the same person for the past 10 years. The blended rents are on average $640/month and it’s driving $2.6M per year in gross income, with a net operating income of $1.1M.
After taking a peek under the hood and running through my 5-step process for underwriting a deal, I found a few opportunities to bring the expenses down.
This alone will save between $150k-$175k per year. But, is that enough to make this deal worth it? Not quite!
While I was able to cut at least 10% worth of expenses, I knew we’d have to figure something else out with this property if we really wanted to win!
So, I reviewed the comps across 12 different buildings, and realized there was a much bigger opportunity that no other building in the area was considering.
To find out how our team plans to reduce expenses, bump up rents, and increase the property value from $18M to $27M, check out today’s episode.

Key Takeaways - 360 Unit Case Study
- My 5-step system for underwriting a deal.
- How we plan to cut $175K in expenses.
- My system for cutting 25%-40% of a property’s water bill.
- Why you have to pay attention to what I call “the muck” of underwriting.

- Our business plan for increasing the property value from $18M to $27M

Are you looking for a passive way to invest your hard-earned money? Well, today’s guest, Vanessa Peters, has a unique real estate investing strategy that you won’t want to miss!
In this episode, we’re talking all about investing in entitlements — the process of turning raw land into a "shovel-ready" state. This adds value to the land and can lead to BIG returns!
“Ok Josh, but wouldn’t the builders handle that type of work?”
Nope! You see, the National Home Builders typically only purchase land that’s entitled, rather than raw, to reduce risk and speed up the process of bringing homes to market.
And therein lies the opportunity. Once the land has been entitled, builders will then pay more than double what it’s worth!
Development-readiness involves doing the leg work to get the property zoned, cleared, subdivided and/or permitted for builders — so it does require a team with a specific set of skills. This is why finding or building the right syndication is an important piece of the puzzle. Which leads me to today’s guest…
I’m speaking with Vanessa Peters, MD. Vanessa is the founder of VMD Investing and has been investing in real estate for 12 years in single family homes, commercial retail, apartment communities, short-term rentals, self-storage, land entitlements and manufactured home parks. She has invested in over 2,500 units across 15 properties and 4 funds.
In my conversation with Vanessa, you’ll hear how she went from a busy doctor (who was swimming in debt) to learning the in’s and out’s of the real estate game. Now, she’s a co-sponsor in a massive $50M land development fund, which you’ll learn all about! We dig into land entitlements, syndications, the power of your network, personal development, and more.
If you’re a busy professional looking to create passive income with real estate, this is a pretty interesting real estate niche to learn about — so don’t miss out!
Key Takeaways with Vanessa Peters
- The low-risk real estate opportunity you never knew about — investing in “raw land” and adding value through entitlements.
- Hear about Vanessa’s $50M fund that’s giving investors an 8% preferred return + 8% in profit sharing for a cash flow of 16% — and how she assembled a rock star team!
- How Vanessa got her start in real estate and moved from single family homes to investing $50k into her first real estate syndication.
- Understanding the risks and rewards of leveraging real estate.
- Why your network is your net worth!
- How to level up your life through the power of masterminds.

Today, I’m talking with Barry Flavin. Barry has been investing in Real Estate for over 8 years and currently owns 1000+ units.
Prior to pursuing real estate, he was working 40 hrs per week as an Air Traffic Controller. It was a good job, but he got tired and frustrated with the “working to live” mentality.
He wanted more out of life; more income, more time, more freedom. He wanted to live a life on his terms, not the other way around!
So, he decided to do something about it...
He found his way in real estate by rehabbing and selling several of his personal residences, then used the proceeds to purchase 20+ single family rentals.
After realizing the many opportunities that real estate had to offer, he quit his job and took things full time, transitioning into smaller multifamily deals.
In today’s conversation, you’ll find out how he went from an air traffic controller with no real estate experience, to becoming a serious multifamily real estate investor.
Barry shares some of the major challenges he faced along the way, including running out of money, taking out hard money loans, maxing out credit cards, and more. Despite the hurdles, he kept pushing forward, found a partner, leveraged his network, and started making bigger moves.
You’ll also get to hear about his current real estate portfolio, how he structures deals for investors, and why there’s so much opportunity with smaller multifamily projects!
Key Takeaways with Barry Flavin
- How Barry blended multiple smaller deals into a portfolio for investors.
- Barry’s goal to get investors initial investment back within 3 years + continuous cash distributions.
- Find out why he doesn't offer a preferred return to investors.
- Why the smaller mom & pop multifamily properties are oftentimes the juiciest deals!
- How to achieve economies of scale with smaller multifamily real estate.
- Why Barry will buy anything from a single family home to a 200 unit building!
- How he went from an air traffic controller with no experience, to buying 18 single family homes in only 17 months.
- How Barry transitioned from single family homes into multifamily deals.
- The power of partnerships and building a team that can help you reach new levels of success.

In this episode, I’m sharing a case study for one of our most recent properties, “54 Niles” — a 54 unit apartment building that we bought off-market for $2.43M, and could now sell for over $4M in less than a year!
The seller originally bought the building for $1.2M in July 2020 and only 6 months later, our commercial broker brought it to us with an asking price of $3M.
Find out how we negotiated a better deal, raised rents to increase value, hired a property management firm to fill vacant units, mitigated risk, and created multiple exit strategies.
If you want to get a behind-the-scenes look at our proven business model for creating million-dollar deals in real estate, you won't want to miss this video walk-through!
Key Takeaways
- How one deal can literally change your life.
- The 5-step business model we use to create million dollar deals in real estate.
- The 10 pillars of risk mitigation when buying property.

- Raising rents, refinancing, and paying off the existing loan.
- Having the guts (and the business plan) to buy a building that’s only 40% occupied.

Today, I’m speaking with Chris Grenzig. Chris began his real estate investing journey in 2016 by attempting to flip houses on Long Island NY, but ultimately failed to flip a single property despite spending tens of thousands of dollars and several months trying. Instead of giving up, he shifted his focus to multifamily real estate and started by investing passively in an 8-unit property, then joint venturing on another 100 units worth over $4.5M. Chris’s experience landed him a job with Toro Real Estate Partners, which gave him an opportunity to learn from experienced investors. Over the course of 4 years, he became responsible for overseeing all of their Florida portfolio which consisted of 7 properties, totaling roughly 1,000 units worth $70M. In 2020, Chris’s persistence in the real estate investing game finally paid off as he ventured out on his own and founded JAG Communities — a vertically integrated multifamily investment firm that specializes in creating an exceptional living experience for residents. In this conversation, Chris walks us through his journey, from failing to flip houses to quitting his job and making a way in multifamily real estate. You’ll also hear us dissect his first two deals, including a 16 unit and 24 unit property, along with his 10 year plan for reaching $500 AUM!

I get a lot of questions about what it’s like to run a large multifamily business — especially when it involves capital improvements, property management, acquisitions, raising capital, and more! As a way to bridge the gap and to show you what’s involved, I thought it may be helpful to create a semi-regular real estate report that outlines the various projects we’re working on, from our smallest properties, to our largest ones. In these short updates, I pull back the curtain and reveal the good, the bad, and the ugly of our multifamily operations. The goal of these reports is to give fellow (and aspiring) real estate investors a sense for what’s involved at each level of a project. To get access to the full notes for this episode, including a complete multifamily real estate breakdown for June 2021, visit https://acceleratedinvestorpodcast.com/205
There’s A LOT that goes into a multi-family deal from concept to close — which is why so many real estate investors decide to work with a general contractor. But be warned, not all general contractors are created equal, and choosing the right one can be the difference between your project going good or bad. So, how do you find a reliable team that will get the job done properly? That’s what today’s discussion with Ira Singer is all about! Ira is principal of Mosaic Construction — a full service design-build firm specializing in commercial and multifamily renovation. For more than 25 years, Ira has worked with multifamily investors and owners across the US to add value or reposition their properties. As a self-proclaimed “project junkie”, Ira’s responsible for leading new business development, construction, production and the management of trade partner and vendor relationships. In our conversation, you’ll learn about the role and responsibilities of a general contractor — and the major benefits to working with one.

Bigger isn’t always better – even in the world of real estate investing. For some of us, part-time investing strikes the perfect balance between earning extra income and maintaining a relatively low-stress lifestyle. In fact, part-time investing is exactly what Brad Crow set out to do about three years ago. Based in the Indianapolis area, Brad had always had an interest in real estate investing, and he was looking to earn some extra money as he approached his retirement years. Now, with several fix and flips under his belt, Brad is poised for a successful 2019 – and he’s here to share his tips for running a profitable but manageable part-time REI business. In this podcast, Brad shares the current state of his real estate market in Indianapolis, as well as his investing strategy of purchasing single-family, distressed properties in good neighborhoods. If you’ve always dreamed about pursuing just a handful of property deals per year, and easing your way into real estate investing, Brad has some awesome pointers you need to hear. Listen in to hear Brad’s advice, plus his story of a property that earned him nearly 6-figures in profit, despite mold, termites, and a whole host of ordeals:
Cheryl Sturt isn’t your typical real estate investor. She got into the business just a few years ago and has already seen a huge amount of success – thanks, only in part, to her hot pink bandit signs. But it’s not just Cheryl’s pink marketing pieces or even her feminine name (which stands out in a sea of male investors) that have earned her the big bucks – it’s her savvy business sense, which has helped her wholesale many properties in a short span of time. In fact, when Cheryl joined Josh’s coaching program, she netted over a half million in profit (on 20+ deals) in her first 6 months! Because she primarily does wholesale deals, she values her connections with her motivated buyers the most. In this podcast, Cheryl explains her tips for running a booming wholesaling business. She also shares a real-life example of a recent deal where she made nearly $150K in profit. Plus, find out why one of Cheryl’s buyers said Cheryl was “the best wholesaler” they’ve ever worked with:
If Joe Greaves’ story teaches you anything, it should be this: it’s never too late to build a successful real estate investing business. Plus, with the right motivation, you can do it quickly. Not too long ago, Joe quit his job of 35+ years in commercial construction management to pursue real estate investing full-time – and he hasn’t looked back. With the help of the Strategic Real Estate Coach training program and the Flip System book, Joe pushed the “all systems go” button on his flipping business in Missouri. Within the span of a few years, his one-man business boomed into a 100-person operation. In this podcast, Joe shares information on his current projects, which include duplexes, senior living complexes, and much more. He also shares inspiration and motivation for finally making the leap from a traditional job to an entrepreneurial endeavor like real estate investing. Joe also explains how his success as an investor has allowed him to be excited about the future, rather than focused only on getting to retirement. Joe’s motivation level is amazing, especially when you consider that he’s also completed six Ironman triathlons, The Spartan Beast, and 20+ ultra-distance bike races (No big deal, right?) Find out how Joe grew his business dramatically while still achieving his dream of spending more time with his family:
One of the smartest things that real estate investors can do, to stay on top of the industry, is educate themselves about the markets and economy. Fortunately, even if numbers aren’t your strength, Dr. Peter Linneman has a great deal of insight to offer. Peter has founded several real estate investing companies throughout his career, including Linneman Associates. He’s also the Albert Sussman Emeritus Professor of Real Estate, Finance, and Business Public Policy at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business. (Fancy, right?) Plus, Peter was named one of the “25 Most Influential People in Real Estate” by Realtor Magazine, and one of the “100 Most Powerful People in NY Real Estate” by the New York Observer. It’s safe to say: Peter knows his stuff. In this interview, Peter shares his take on how the housing market has been held back by the Fed’s hyper-low interest rates, and how we’re in the process of getting caught up to current market-rates. Also, senior housing complexes/retirement communities have recently become a hot topic among real estate investors. Peter explains the demographics and numbers behind this strategy, and shares his take on whether investing in these properties now could be a profitable opportunity. So, find out: does the math add up?

Mailbox Money: Generating Passive Income That You’ll Enjoy Well into Retirement by Josh Cantwell
It doesn’t take much effort to come up with definable goals – but it DOES take time to develop an actionable plan that will allow you to achieve those goals. As a real estate investor, a step-by-step plan will be 100% necessary to the success of your business. Luckily, you’ve got people like Chris Seder on your side. Chris is an experienced investor located in the Billings, Montana area – but he also has a successful virtual investing business and has done many wholesale deals in other states. Chris is also a Strategic Real Estate Coach (SREC) coach, and has helped dozens of students meet and exceed the goals they’ve set for their businesses. In this podcast, Chris explains how he works with his students to help them define clear business goals during their first few coaching sessions. He then helps them create an actionable plan for meeting those goals. If you have a vision, but you don’t have the specific steps needed to fulfill that vision – it’s nearly impossible to reach your goals. This is where a coaching program comes in handy, because you have the expert guidance (and accountability) to keep moving toward your goals in a measurable way. Chris also shares how he then helps his students scale their businesses and automate their processes, to create more efficiency and build a passive income. Overall, his goal is to help his students create a steady deal flow... so their businesses can truly thrive. He also names the two key team members that will be essential for success, as you REI business grows. Find out what he has to say:
On the surface, real estate investing seems to be about making money. But, look a little deeper, and you’ll find most real estate investors are simply seeking the financial security and flexibility that will allow them to spend more time with their family and friends. This was the case with DK Kim, a Strategic Real Estate Coach (SREC) Maverick Mastermind Member, full-time flipper, investor, and real estate attorney. In this podcast, DK gives you an inside look at his path from full-time attorney to full-time investor – and why he made this important transition in his life. While he started investing in 2002, it wasn’t until 2012 that DK decided it was time to transition away from his successful practice as an immigration attorney. The 60+ hour work weeks weren’t exactly invigorating, and he was tired of fixing other peoples’ problems while his family waited for him at home. Now, as a SREC coach and investor, DK has achieved the balance that he’s always wanted for his life. Even better... he hopes to combine his two professional backgrounds by providing educational resources on the U.S. home buying process for immigrants. Take a look or listen to find out DK’s #1 piece of advice for all of his students:
Of all the successful, thriving real estate investors you can think of, how many of those individuals do you think reached their goals without any help from anyone... whatsoever? Probably NONE, right? The truth is: even the smartest, savviest, most motivated real estate investors all need some inspiration, guidance, and advice from others – especially if they’re serious about building long-term success with their investing ventures. In this podcast, Strategic Real Estate Coach (SREC)’s head coach, Kyle Garifo, shares his experiences mentoring and supporting fellow investors throughout the years. With a background of investing in 300+ properties, Kyle certainly knows his stuff – and he’s eager to share his knowledge with other investors. Kyle chats about the SREC coaching program, which is personalized for each student’s unique business model and market. He also shares some goal-setting strategies that he works through with each student. Plus, he gives a glimpse into the Masters’ Elite Coaching program, which uses a “boots on the ground model” – meaning, the coach visits the student for 3 days, twice a year, to check out properties, attend business development initiatives, or whatever the student requests! It’s an amazing opportunity for the coaches and students to get valuable face-to-face time. Kyle also shares the 2 characteristics that all of his most successful students have in common. Wondering what those might be? Tune in below to find out...
Some of the most successful real estate investors typically have one thing in common: they understand how to assess risk accurately, and they make sure to purchase properties that have multiple exit strategies. Mike Johnston is one of those guys. As the 2016 Strategic Real Estate Coaching (SREC) Investor of the Year, Mike has accomplished some amazing goals for his real estate investing business. Right now, his primary investment strategy involves purchasing distressed multi-family properties – primarily in the New Orleans-area market. While he’s renovated some luxury properties in the past, he’s found that those deals weren’t as “safe” (and really, as profitable) as affordable, multi-unit housing. In this podcast, Mike shares his advice for determining risk and planning multiple exit strategies for each property deal. As someone who has always taken the time to crunch the numbers and consider all the “what-ifs,” Mike has won over his investors with his practical, well-thought out plans. His self-proclaimed “cautiously aggressive” approach allows him to determine the worst-case scenario; and he’s a master at planning accordingly for that possibility. Mike also explains how he got his start in real estate investing, and how he’s working toward his long-term goals of building generational wealth and giving back by passing his financial knowledge on to others. Take a listen to hear more of Mike’s story, plus his advice for all investors
The idea of investing in multi-family units or apartment complexes can seem intimidating to many real estate investors – particularly those who are just beginning to build their business. But, as Tim Bratz explains, it can actually be a very feasible, “do-able,” and profitable option. Tim has 10 years of real estate investing experience, and is now focused solely on value-add apartments. His company owns more than 1,400 units in Ohio, South Carolina, Georgia, and Texas. Tim got into value-add apartment investing because he likes the scalability of apartments. As he points out, “It’s actually easier to manage, contract, and operate a single building with 50 units, rather than 50 individual houses.” Well spoken, Tim. His main focus is finding distressed properties that he can put some sweat equity into. He finds this strategy to be much more profitable than buying apartment complexes at market value. In this podcast, Tim shares how he first caught the real estate bug, the misconceptions he had about apartment investing, how he focuses on his strengths and lets specialists take care of other aspects of his business, and how he plans to achieve his goal of building a $1 billion portfolio in the next several years. Find out Tim’s advice for new investors, and hear about the craziest deal he’s ever pulled off (hint: it involved raising $4 million in the course of a single weekend)
If you’re brand new to real estate investing – or even if you’ve got plenty of deals under your belt – it can be highly motivating to hear stories of success from other investors just like you. For instance, Eduardo Lopez, our 2018 Strategic Real Estate Coach (SREC) Investor of the Year, was just a regular Joe – doing the typical, full-time job routine. While his job was going well, Eduardo was itching for an opportunity to create more income so he could retire early and spend more time with his family. Within a matter of just 2-3 years, Eduardo has gone from part-time investing to building a highly successful REI business that is now his primary focus. In fact, after joining the Masters’ Elite Coaching Program, he was able to take his newfound knowledge and do 17 property deals in half a year – making more than $450,000 in profit! As part of his prize, Eduardo also received a free 2-year lease for a BMW convertible. Not bad, right?! In this podcast, Eduardo shares his path from humble investor beginnings to his current situation. He credits his success to a number of factors, including his marketing tactics, networking opportunities, strong team, and – most importantly – to his time in the Masters’ Elite Coaching Program. During that time, he worked with his mentor, Kyle, to develop a business plan that was customized to Eduardo’s goals, vision for his business, and unique market. Eduardo’s accomplishments not only impact himself, but also his 21-year-old son Xavier, who is learning about the real estate investing profession from his father. For Eduardo, real estate investing is a way to pass on the knowledge and tools his children will need to build their own successful futures. Find out Eduardo’s strategies for growing his business, and how he was able to pull off an amazing $450K+ profit in the span of only 6 months, and create a monthly rental income of more than $12,000/month
Wholesaling can be an extremely profitable niche of the real estate investing industry – and, it’s often one of the fastest ways to earn the cash you need to continue building your business and income. In this expert interview, Josh is joined by Joe Nemeth of Lorain County Homebuyers, LLC. During the time that they’ve known each other, Josh and Joe have teamed up on a variety of wholesaling efforts. Because their target markets are in close proximity, they are able to send each other hyper-buyer references and property leads on the regular. In this podcast, Joe explains how he finally embraced his interest in real estate investing and dove into a full-time wholesaling career, after quitting his comfortable 9-to-5 job. He also shares a few case studies of properties he has recently wholesaled – and how he found the seller and buyers for these deals. Joe and Josh also discuss the advantages of having a solid list of 5-6 trusted hyper-buyers that you can work with regularly – and why this method is better than having a long, long list of hyper-buyers. As Joe explains, the key to being successful in this industry is by staying active (and by that, he doesn’t mean exercising – although that’s entirely beneficial too!) By actively finding deals, building rapport with hyper-buyers, and keeping yourself on track with your goals – you’ll be well on your way to a profitable venture. Find out how Joe did it, and learn more about the techniques you can apply to your business:
In this expert interview podcast, Josh chats with REI and wholesaling experts Ben Sherman and RJ Nunz, who offer their must-hear advice on property acquisitions and building an extensive hyper-buyer list (that is, buyers who will purchase multiple properties from you every year). Ben, who served in active duty for the U.S. Air force for 13 years, actually got his start in real estate investing while stationed in Afghanistan – believe it or not! While he was honored to serve our nation, he wasn’t a huge fan of being separated from his family for the majority of the year, which is why he first considered real estate investing as a new career. Ben shares the story of how he transitioned from the structured, regimented life of an active military member to the entrepreneurial, self-disciplined mindset of an investor. (Hint: it wasn’t an easy process!) RJ, Ben’s business partner, also shares his investing experience, and how he and Ben have worked together to build their uber-successful company, Property RX, LLC. Based out of Wichita, their real estate solutions company helps homeowners get out of sticky situations such as foreclosures, probate, and more. Together, Ben and RJ have countless deals under their belt – and really know their stuff when it comes to building a successful real estate investing business.

After enrolling in training courses with Josh, Jim kick-started his amazing journey in real estate. Currently, Jim specializes mainly in buy-and-hold properties, which he rehabs and rents out to tenants.
