  • 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.

Building Proprietary Relationships, Scalability, and Smarter Strategies ft. Seth Weissman
Q: Do you have any interplay in the pref equity component to get a lot of deals done these days?
We predominantly use senior first loans, but we do meds and pref behind our own loan, and sometimes behind a bank lender with protections. Pref can be smart when used carefully to raise leverage while maintaining risk controls and an achievable path to NOI growth.
Self-Storage as a Tax Asset, Cost Segregation Strategies, and Asset-Heavy Businesses
Q: Anything else you'd like to add here, Sean?
No, I think we covered a lot, and the main takeaway is to engage with us for a detailed, property-specific tax advisory approach that aligns with your investment and ownership structure.
Innovative Tax Strategies, Syndications and Depreciation, and Strategies for Active Losses
Q: Does that make sense?
Yes, the concept is that you look at the portfolio as a whole and, depending on status and participation, you can offset both passive and active income; the strategy is tailored to each property and overall portfolio.
Social Media to Raise Capital, Running Effective First Calls, and Raising Capital Through Trust ft. Michael Rebelo
Q: How did you start building credibility at a young age?
By creating a compelling personal story, sharing the journey publicly, and using social media to document every step, while continuously learning and networking in groups to validate opportunities.
Investor Reviews Expose Real Estate Truth ft. Pat Zingarella
Q: How can listeners reach Pat and learn more about Invest Clearly?
Pat provides the website investclearly.com and his email pat@investclearly.com, and mentions LinkedIn as a channel for outreach.
