  • 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.

How Entity Mistakes Trap Real Estate ft. Tal Binder
Q: Who has to pay estimated taxes?
People with income that has no withholding, such as rental or business income, are responsible for making tax payments themselves. Estimated payments may be needed to avoid interest or penalties, depending on the taxpayer's situation and payments during the year.
How Entity Mistakes Trap Real Estate ft. Tal Binder
Q: With just a couple months left in the year, what can we still do?
Binder says the right steps depend on each taxpayer's return and real estate activity. Investors should review their entity structure, financial records, income, and tax position with a professional rather than assume one strategy fits everyone.
Commercial Real Estate’s New Rate Reality ft. John Chang
Q: What does a commercial real estate investor that wants to continue to make money and stay relevant and do deals do in an environment where rates are where they are, they're not going down, and they likely will go up before they go back down?
Chang advises investors to evaluate assets individually, raise income where possible, clear out properties without a viable path forward, and redeploy capital into opportunities with a lower basis and potential upside.
Commercial Real Estate’s New Rate Reality ft. John Chang
Q: How do investors stay relevant? How do we make money in a rising rate environment?
Chang says investors should expect another pricing reset, assess whether to sell or hold based on each asset's cash flow and debt position, and build a new strategy around today's financing costs and opportunities.
Where Industrial Investors Can Still Find Opportunity ft. Stephanie Rodriguez
Q: If you were to invest, where would you put your money today?
She favors modern, functional Class A industrial properties in markets with strong demand and sound fundamentals, particularly selectively in the Midwest and Southeast, while noting some West Coast submarkets may offer opportunities.
