  • 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

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

JF 4230: Ground Leases, Deal Discipline and CRE Longevity ft. John McNellis
Q: Why did you stay focused on a two-hour drive from San Francisco instead of expanding geographically?
Because the best opportunities were in a tight, familiar geographic area where relationships, knowledge of intersections, and trusted partners exist; it reduces risk and makes it easier to manage a growing but manageable portfolio.
JF 4230: Ground Leases, Deal Discipline and CRE Longevity ft. John McNellis
Q: John, how do you get into ground leases if you don't have Chick-fil-A on a first-name basis or Walmart nearby?
Start with retail specialization: work for a retail company to gain inside knowledge, partner with tenants locally, and build relationships; you need to understand the geography and intersections, then gradually identify opportunities with early-stage lease deals and simple, scalable structures.
JF4227: RV Park Underwriting, Multiple Revenue Streams and Deal Analysis ft. Heather Blankenship
Q: What should a newcomer know about the buy box for RV parks?
Start with a vivid vision, then assess asset classes based on personal goals and capacity; not every investor should chase multiple asset types at once, and one should focus on what aligns with their lifestyle and risk tolerance.
JF 4224: Supply and Demand, Bootstrapping Growth, Marketplace Strategy ft. Steve Taylor
Q: What exactly is SoCommercial and who is it for?
SoCommercial is a listing platform designed for anyone with commercial real estate to buy, sell, or rent, including smaller spaces and non-traditional spaces, with no broker license required to list. It aims to unify both supply and demand under one roof and provide flexible, user-friendly listing and collaboration opportunities.
JF 4198: Navigating Macro Trends in Real Estate ft. Judd Dunning
Q: So what makes triple net leases truly 'triple net' and how does that structure impact risk for investors?
Triple net means the tenant takes over property costs like maintenance, taxes, and insurance, shifting much of the management burden away from the investor. Absolute triple net minimizes active management to a single check, but prudent owners still verify the tenant's fundamentals and maintain critical property aspects to protect long-term cash flow.
