  • Great show!

    John was a great host. We dug into the details of scaling from small multifamily to midsize multifamily properties. He understands the nuances of scaling a company and asked insightful questions. He has a thoughtful approach to his interviews. I recommend John and The Best Ever CRE Show.

  • Love the show, but…

    This show is in my queue every day. Love the content! One thing that I find detrimental is that some of the interviewers constantly interrupt the guests. Aside from that, please keep up the great shows!

  • Great content, horrible production

    The content on this prodcasf is great, they cover many different sections of CRE. Also a fan of the multiple hosts. The only negative is their production, the volume from the guest and host are often very far apart. Also background thunder sound for the lighting round is obnoxiously loud and completely unnecessary

JF 4249: Rapid Market Shifts, Fractional Investments, and The Senior Housing Crisis ft. David Bacon
Q: How has AI changed your approach to audience targeting and automation?
AI enables rapid audience identification, sophisticated workflows, and personalized messaging at scale. We use AI-driven prompts for CRO, analyze vast datasets quickly, and automate communications based on investor behavior, while maintaining guardrails to avoid over-personalization in sensitive financial contexts.
JF 4249: Rapid Market Shifts, Fractional Investments, and The Senior Housing Crisis ft. David Bacon
Q: How do you manage marketing channels at scale to keep a pulse on performance?
We use a robust digital and traditional mix—podcasts, events, newsletters—and rely on data-driven backends to track who's engaging, optimize messaging, and ensure that the audience matches the opportunity, including long-term attribution analysis to avoid focusing only on first-touch results.
JF 4249: Rapid Market Shifts, Fractional Investments, and The Senior Housing Crisis ft. David Bacon
Q: What types of investors are typically interested in this type of investment?
Investors are looking for attractive returns, with the offering targeting around 15% annualized returns, and the product is designed to be accessible with no fees due to fractional ownership, allowing non-accredited investors to participate.
JF 4202: Dynamo Capital's Real Estate Secrets ft. Caitlin Waldschmidt
Q: Today, I am joined by Caitlin Waldschmidt of Dynamo Capital. Courseful disclosure, we have a fund with Dynamo Capital, but that's actually not what we're talking about today because you don't work on the capital-raising side of the business, do you?
Caitlin explains that her focus is deploying capital—finding investors and borrowers who need money to execute projects—and describes Dynamo's scope across bridge loans, ground-up construction, larger developments, and long-term loans for multifamily.
JF 4204: The Art of Asset Management: Lessons from the Field ft. Gary Lipsky
Q: What can attendees expect from the summit sessions and who are the speakers?
The summit features an economic report, LP panel, personal finance, tax considerations with CPA guidance, and talks on mindset, aiming to cover the whole spectrum of real estate investing beyond just multifamily.
