  • 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.

Asymmetric Buying Opportunities, Investor Risk Tolerance, and Market Turnaround Triggers ft. Buck Joffrey
Q: Where do you see opportunities today for Best Ever listeners who want to deploy capital now?
Buck argues for targeting multifamily deals with 30-40% discounts where the math still works with today's rates, and weighing between heavy value-add plays versus stable newer Class A assets that can be refinanced in a lower-rate environment in a couple of years, all while keeping an eye on distressed debt opportunities and lender willingness to work with borrowers.
Creative Deal Structuring, Smarter LP Investing, and Attractive Investment Opportunities ft. Chad Ackerman
Q: What practical steps should LPs take in today's market to protect themselves and still find good opportunities?
Define your why and buy box, slow down to understand your goals, build strong deal flow with quality opportunities, and engage with a community or coach to stay educated so you can act decisively when quality deals emerge.
Diversification in Real Estate Investing, Market Pain as an Ally, and Fund-Based Investing for Risk Management ft. Brian Sutton
Q: How does a fund change the way you raise and deploy capital compared to a single deal?
A fund allows you to invest on behalf of investors across multiple assets, building loyalty and consistency, rather than chasing the next deal to close a single equity raise. It reduces the dependence on a single success and spreads risk across a portfolio, which improves investor confidence and long-term capital retention.
Diversification in Real Estate Investing, Market Pain as an Ally, and Fund-Based Investing for Risk Management ft. Brian Sutton
Q: What was the epiphany that Brian had in going from one-offs to funds?
Brian explains that the market unwind and higher debt costs exposed the fragility of single-syndication models; funds emerged as a more resilient approach because they offer diversification and downside protection, and they align with how large institutions invest. He emphasizes the need to move to a structure that can weather volatility and still deliver for investors.
LTVs, Minimizing Hallucinations in AI, and Achieving Same-Day Real Estate Loans ft. Tal Shahar
Q: How do you balance AI speed with the need for accurate underwriting in a high-stakes real estate loan process?
We combine AI-driven intake, multiple models, and a governance layer with human review to ensure accuracy. If the system is below 90% confidence, it flags the item and provides the source so analysts can quickly validate, keeping a fast, reliable workflow.
