In this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, Darin Garman breaks down the biggest warning signs passive investors should watch for before wiring money into a deal.

Speed Kills Multifamily Investing: Why AI Can’t Make the Buy Decision

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 14:22:24 -0600

🏘️(WHAT IS MADE IN THE USA INVESTING & WHY INVESTORS SHOULD CONSIDER IT?) https://madeintheusainvesting.com Speed kills in multifamily, especially in due diligence. If someone brags they “did due diligence on a 400+ unit deal in 8 minutes,” here’s why you should run. In this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, I break down the dangerous delusion happening in the market right now: confusing fast AI outputs with real underwriting and real decision-making.

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 14:20:28 -0600

Fights in My Office: Divorce & Multifamily Investing Blowups (True Stories)

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 14:18:07 -0600

In my decades of experience buying and selling multifamily real estate, I’ve seen just about every way money can bring tension into a relationship. And sometimes, that tension shows up right in my office. Divorce, large investments, and long-term financial decisions are emotional by nature. I’ve had divorced couples come in trying to unwind properties as part of a settlement. I’ve also seen couples where one spouse is eager to invest and the other wants nothing to do with it. In more than a few cases, the disagreement didn’t stay quiet.

The Most Important Ingredient Multi-Family Investors Ignore That Will Destroy Profitable Deals

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 14:12:02 -0600

Multifamily investing doesn’t fail because of bad deals. It fails because of bad property management. Today on the Heartland Multifamily Show, we break down why poor management is the fastest way to destroy profitable real estate investments. Even if you hire a property manager, taking a hands-on, owner-operator approach is critical to protecting your capital. In this episode, I explain why management is often overlooked, where investors get it wrong, and why strong property management should always come before growth, scale, or new acquisitions.

How Some Investors Pay $0 Taxes (Legally)

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 14:09:55 -0600

There are only two things in life that are certain: death and taxes. But not so much if you’re a multifamily investor. On today’s episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, I’m going to show you how you can lower your taxes, and don’t worry, it’s completely legal. (Disclaimer: this is not legal or tax advice, this is only my lived experience.) I break down the short and long term ways you can lower your tax burden when you invest in multifamily, whether it’s investing in a property you own and manage, or when it’s time to sell and you want to lower your capital gains taxes. If you want to save money year after year after year, watch this episode to learn how.

Why Only 5% of Investors Still Buy Apartments in New York

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 11:38:25 -0600

On this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, I explain what I call The Mamdani Effect.

Zohran Mamdani, the recently elected mayor of New York City, has promised to bring down rent prices. While the intention may be political or social, the economic reality of real estate tells a different story.

In multifamily investing, expenses rise over time. If rent growth is capped or restricted, the math eventually breaks. When income is frozen and costs continue to climb, investors respond in predictable ways.

That response is the Mamdani Effect.

Serious investors avoid the market entirely. Capital moves elsewhere. And what’s left are two types of owners:

social-mission investors who are willing to accept poor returns, and
owners who are stuck and can’t sell.

New York City doesn’t make the list of top places to invest—not because investors dislike the city, but because the numbers no longer work. Policy changes drive behavior, and markets adjust accordingly.

That’s why I tell investors this: your investments must align with your politics.

If you’re a social-worker investor, NYC may make sense for you. There’s nothing wrong with that. But that’s not who I am—and it’s why I continue to focus on the Heartland, where the economics, incentives, and long-term fundamentals still align.

This episode isn’t a personal attack. It’s an analysis based on decades of real-world experience in multifamily real estate—and why policy decisions matter more than headlines.

AI vs Humans in Real Estate What I Learned After 30+Years in Multifamily

Wed, 12 Nov 2025 15:30:18 -0600

Today, we’re talking about AI on the Heartland Multifamily Show. Along with my guest, Isaiah, I talk about the pros and cons of AI. I am in favor of AI. It’s made my life easier, and I expect it will continue to do so in the future. I look forward to the day when computers can clean my house and do my dishes. But at the same time, there’s one thing that AI can never give you, and that's authenticity. As an owner-operator, even if an AI chatbot can report a problem and set an appointment with a plumber on their website, AI won’t be able to give the tenant the empathy it requires to make her feel like her business matters. I don’t think AI will ever be able to do that, and hopefully, it won’t.

The Hard Road Is the Only Road

Fri, 31 Oct 2025 14:47:38 -0600

On this episode of Ask Uncle Darin from the Heartland Multifamily Show, I answer a question I get asked a lot: Why is it always so hard to run a business/invest/achieve your dreams? The answer may surprise you, but it shouldn’t: It has to be hard. If you expect things to be easy in life, all you have to do is have an average life and never pursue your dreams. In this episode, I teach you how to adjust your expectations so when life gets hard, you don’t give up.

Buying Below Value | The Pressures and Opportunities Behind Discounted Deals

Wed, 24 Sep 2025 08:35:55 -0600

Why would someone sell at a discount? In previous episodes of the Heartland Multifamily Show, I’ve talked about the importance of being skeptical if someone offers you a property at a discount. But there are many good reasons why a property owner is willing to leave money on the table in favor of a quick sale. The top four reasons are illness/death, being on the verge of repossession, not having the time or energy to manage the property, and seeing another opportunity that makes up for the immediate loss. Watch this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show to learn more.

Priorities Decide Profits | How Landlords Create Momentum Out of Chaos

Tue, 16 Sep 2025 12:08:15 -0600

Are you one of those landlords who say, “There’s not enough time!”? If you’re a landlord, then the answer is yes. None of us have enough time. Today I’m going to give you a tip I heard directly from Patrick Bet-David on how to manage my time: Rate everything on your to-do list according to urgency and impact. Do the things that are rated highest on that list first, and you can put off, delegate, or even ignore things that don’t. As an entrepreneur and investor, you’re always being pulled 100 different ways. This is how you manage your time and focus on what’s important.

The real reason not everyone can afford a house

Thu, 04 Sep 2025 09:51:01 -0600

Affordable housing. We all like to complain about how expensive things are, but at the Heartland Multifamily Show, I’m willing to tell you the hard truth. I’m not some activist by any means; my views come from decades of experience buying, selling, and managing millions of dollars of properties in America’s Heartland. And the hard truth is that affordable homes aren’t a question of money, it’s a question of qualifications. If you’re a landlord like me or a bank, you check someone’s credit score before you work with them. And many people don’t qualify for favorable treatment. Watch this episode to hear me break down in detail why there’s no magic bullet for affordable housing.

My Reaction to Mark Shapiro | Respect Over Romance

Fri, 29 Aug 2025 11:01:02 -0600

This episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show is a lot shorter than usual because I’m doing a reaction video. I’m reacting to Mark Shapiro, a real estate investor and influencer. (Not to be confused with Mark Shapiro of TKO or Mark Shapiro of Moneyball). Shapiro recently did a video making the claim that everything a woman does is meaningless to a man except being able to support him and grow with him. Watch this video to hear my take on it. You’ll want to hear from my experience as a husband and a real estate investor.

4 Reasons Discounted Multi-Family Purchases Are Now Becoming Available

Mon, 25 Aug 2025 12:57:34 -0600

Want to get rich?

This is the video for you. In this video, I’m going to explain to you why the conditions are perfect for a severe crash in real estate prices.

I’m going to show you why I predict this upcoming crash and how you, yes you, can take advantage of it by planning for it right now. Watch this video for more.

No Sales, No Progress | The Role of Sales in Society

Tue, 12 Aug 2025 10:45:08 -0600

Welcome to another episode of Ask Uncle Darin on the Heartland Multifamily Show, where I offer folksy wisdom that comes from my decades of experience in investing, but also in life. Today, I’m talking about sales. Some people don’t like salespeople. Even some salespeople don’t like salespeople. And I don’t understand why, because sales make the world go ‘round. The best salespeople give you what you need when you need it, and that's why I appreciate salespeople. If you want to learn more about why salespeople are more important than you might realize, watch this video.

Success Isn’t Free | 3 Emotional Tolls You’ll Pay to Win

Thu, 31 Jul 2025 10:36:16 -0600

You want to be a successful Multifamily Investor. It’s not as simple as investing some money and then sitting back and collecting your checks. It’s a lot of work, and there’s a lot of risk involved. There is a good chance you’ll fail, and there are three reasons specifically why you’re likely to fail. In this episode, Isaiah and I discuss those three reasons. The first is the signal and the noise. As an investor, there are a lot of things competing for your attention, and you have to prioritize the ones that get you results from the ones that get you distracted. Second, every day is a roller coaster. You’re going to have ups and downs, and often at the same time. You need the emotional fitness to keep going when everything depends on you keeping a clear head. Finally, there is stress and pressure. It’s a stressful job, and you’re going to have to find ways to deal with that pressure that don’t end up bringing you down in the long run. Watch this video to hear three major reasons most people fail, so you can be successful.

Exit-Proof Properties | The Red Flags of Unsold Assets

Thu, 24 Jul 2025 09:16:06 -0600

If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Everyone knows it, because it’s the truth. On this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, Isaiah and I discuss why any time you spot a great deal, you should be skeptical. It might be a great deal, but don’t get emotional; there’s a reason they’re offering it to you and not insiders like me. On this episode, I’ll explain how you should evaluate an offer when you see a property at a lower than expected price.

Toxic Self-Belief | You Judge Yourself (And Others) Wrong

Fri, 18 Jul 2025 10:40:54 -0600

On this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, I’m talking about Festo #21: You are never as good as you think you are. You are never as bad as you think you are. And neither are they. I sit down with Isaiah Garman to hash out what I mean by that. In short, we all have flaws and we all have strengths. It’s a simple message, but one that has a lot of meaning. Watch this episode to hear our conversation as we explain what it means in detail.

Success Felt Empty – My Reaction to Robert Herjavec’s Truth

Thu, 26 Jun 2025 11:18:46 -0600

Robert Herjavec. Even if you don’t know (or can’t pronounce) his name, you recognize him from Shark Tank. He’s made hundreds of millions of dollars from his various entrepreneurial ventures and investments. In this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, I react to a clip of him talking about how he once always wanted just that much more - a faster car, then a jet, then a nicer jet - Until he finally realized why those material things won’t make him happy. I had a similar realization myself and I, like Robert, now use my money to fuel my purpose and fulfill my vision, rather than flaunt my wealth. There’s nothing wrong with having wealth, but if buying everything you can only makes you unhappy, you need to do the inner work to find what matters to you. Click here to watch this video.

Shaped by Proximity: How Your Inner Circle Controls Your Success

Thu, 19 Jun 2025 13:11:29 -0600

On this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, I’m continuing my series on the manifesto of a successful multifamily real estate investor. If you’ve done any research into personal development, you’ve heard the saying that you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. My take on this is that you become the kind of leader you see examples of. Therefore, it’s critical that you don’t let bad influences into your life. This can be not only direct interactions, but also in what you read, what podcasts you listen to, and what media you consume. This episode will show you how to cultivate that media “diet” so you spend your time and energy on people who will lift you up, not bring you down.

5 More Principles for Multifamily Growth – Manifesto Part 2

Tue, 10 Jun 2025 10:50:00 -0600

Welcome back to the Heartland Multifamily Show. If you saw last week’s episode, you’ll know we’re partway through the 21 Festos in my Multifamily Manifesto. This is my guide to building wealth in multifamily by maximizing your profits and minimizing the energy you waste on internal and external factors that can slow you down. The 5 festos we cover today have one thing in common: They’re all about mindset. Your mindset determines what you give your energy to, and the right mindset can help you avoid burnout before it starts. Watch this video to learn 5 things you can keep in mind to be a successful multifamily investor.

6 Principles for Smart Multifamily Ownership – Manifesto Part 1

Mon, 02 Jun 2025 11:09:59 -0600

On this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, I’ll give you five (and one bonus) “festos” from my Multifamily investing manifesto. It’s part of a series from my list of 21 things you should do to become a successful multifamily investor. This episode will give you the thousand-foot view to get out of the weeds and to be able to see the whole picture. In addition, this list will keep you from getting too much in the weeds and instead train your mind to focus on what really matters. Part of the reason this is so successful is that you can have many goals as a real estate investor, and some of those goals can contradict each other. So this gives you a framework for consistency, and to have goals that are achievable for you, and leave those contradictory goals to people and organizations with other specialties.

Dangerous Property Patterns: The Litmus Test That’ll Save You Millions + Case Study

Wed, 21 May 2025 13:25:26 -0600

On this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, I want to prevent you from making a mistake that might potentially ruin you. When you do your due diligence on your next purchase, make sure to find out how many owners the property has had in the past ten to fifteen years, and why the owner is selling it. More often than not, if the property has had two or more owners, there’s a reason why no one wants it, and you shouldn’t either. Watch this video to see me go into detail and give an example of how I avoided buying a money pit.

Trump’s Tariff War Escalates – 3 Lessons to Survive the Fallout

Thu, 08 May 2025 12:36:28 -0600

On this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, I discuss the Trump tariffs. Many people are panicking about this. The Wall Street Journal, on just one day, had three headlines predicting doom and gloom. But here’s the truth: No one knows what will happen. And even if some things go wrong, other things can go right as a result. In today’s episode, I give three tips that multifamily investors need to act on soon as the tariffs hit the economy. If you follow my advice, you won’t let a good crisis go to waste--you’ll take advantage of the opportunities that other people are too afraid to take.

This Mistakes Kill a Negotiation – 3 Rules That Win 90% of the Time

Tue, 29 Apr 2025 12:54:45 -0600

In this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, I break down 3 powerful strategies that have helped me win negotiations for over 30 years and none of them require saying the perfect thing. Most deals are lost before anyone speaks, simply because of the energy you bring into the room. Desperation, urgency, or a “win at all costs” mindset can kill a deal faster than a bad offer ever will.

I’ll show you how to walk into the room with a win-win mentality, project calm confidence, and avoid the trap of time pressure, the silent killer of great deals. These are the exact rules I’ve used in multimillion-dollar multifamily negotiations, and if you apply them, you’ll be in control more often than not.

Thu, 24 Apr 2025 09:59:25 -0600

I went through this myself, and so I’m giving you the benefit of my experience. This episode will show you why you need to build equity and the best way to do it. Watch this video to learn how to get the most out of your multifamily real estate investing.

Tue, 15 Apr 2025 10:53:45 -0600

Should you invest in new construction? As a multifamily investor, I’ve been approached many times by developers with empty lots and big ideas. And my advice for all aspiring investors is: NO! New developments are rarely worth the money and hassle. On this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, my guest Isaiah Garman and I explain the 3 biggest reasons why you should avoid investing in news developments and should instead invest your money in properties with an established record.

Why Every Business Needs The D.O.G.E. Strategy to Scale Without Leaks

Tue, 25 Mar 2025 13:34:56 -0600

DOGE! The Department of Government Efficiency. This controversial department headed up by Elon Musk has cut millions from the budget in a short period of time. Whether you like Musk or hate him, you have to take the lesson that waste is a thief. You, as a multifamily investor, need to take the time to review your budget to see what inefficiencies may be stealing from you.

In this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, my special guest, Isaiah and I discuss a crucial element of owning multifamily properties: Hiring the best management company. Many people make the mistake of picking the first 2-3 names on Google they find, interviewing them once, and contracting whoever costs the least. This is a great way to lose all your money and equity. Instead, here are 3 things you need to do before hiring any management company. Follow these steps to protect your investment and your profits.

3 Real Estate Investing Nightmares You MUST Avoid!

Thu, 27 Feb 2025 12:05:00 -0600

Today on the Heartland Multifamily Show, we’re going to look at three properties you want to avoid. When looking at opportunities to invest in multifamily, you may look at these three types of properties and see a blue ocean. But there’s a reason why so few people want to invest in them. They are a headache, a hassle, a money pit. Dealing with these properties will have a very small return on investment. I’m going to explain what three properties to avoid and why.

The Passive Investor’s Blueprint for Multifamily Success

Tue, 18 Feb 2025 12:26:46 -0600

On this episode of the Heartland Multifamily show, I give three actionable instructions on how you can be a passive investor. I explain the different points on the spectrum between being completely passive by investing in shares of REITs and being completely active by buying an existing multifamily property, renovating it, and eventually selling it. And I explain the benefits and risks of each. I tell you what you need to know before investing your time and energy into a rental property.

The Truth About Rent Control They Don’t Want You to Know

Tue, 11 Feb 2025 12:18:44 -0600

Is rent control good or bad? As a property owner, I loudly say, it’s bad! It’s bad because the government shouldn’t say that I, the property owner, have to lower my price. The price is determined by the market. If the guy across the street from me charges more and people pay it, why shouldn’t I charge more? And by the same token, if I can’t get renters, I have to lower my rent. In this episode, I do a deep dive into why the market should determine the price, not the government, and why any attempt to manipulate the market by the government is doomed to fail.

Trump Is NOT Coming to Save You!

Who You Should Pay Attention to in 2025: Insights from Heartland Multifamily

Thu, 02 Jan 2025 12:08:56 -0600

Outwork Everyone to win in 2025

Tue, 17 Dec 2024 14:16:54 -0600

This episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show explores the question many of you have been asking, will 2025 be a hard year or an easy year compared to 2024? The common wisdom for most people is that it will be harder. But if you’re not most people, it will be easier. To give an example of what I’m talking about, Trot and I discussed a recent business conference I went to. As part of a team, I gave everyone the choice to meet and discuss our plans that evening or the next morning. Everyone agreed to meet an hour before the conference started to discuss our plans. But almost everyone except me was late. When your competition isn’t willing to get up early and outwork you, you have an advantage over them. If you are willing to work hard, 2025 will be easy.

This episode of The Heartland Multifamily Show covered a topic that might sound familiar to anyone who has watched this show for more than a year. That's because every year, many people most people make New Year’s resolutions, and most people never achieve them.

Start now, develop discipline every day, and you can lose weight, make money, or whatever else your goal is if you stop procrastinating and put the work in.

Multifamily Real Estate: Protecting, Not Hiding, Your Money

Tue, 05 Nov 2024 08:32:00 -0600

I am often contacted by people who think that multifamily real estate is a way to hide their money. This is a misconception that I want to address on this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show. There are many benefits to being a multifamily investor. Your money is insulated from theft because no one can steal your ownership of a property. Your money may grow because the property becomes more valuable, or you may be able to write off the depreciation if it goes down, while still receiving income from your tenants. There are also tax benefits, especially if you invest your money in other multifamily properties. Put together, you may see all these benefits as hiding your money, but there’s nothing illegal about it. Learn more on this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show.

Real Estate FAILS!

Tue, 22 Oct 2024 10:01:34 -0600

In this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, we are talking about real estate fails. Specifically, we are talking about why many real estate investors are heading toward a cliff and may have to bail out before they drive off it. The costs of owning and operating multifamily real estate have gone up significantly in the past few years, and because tenants are getting squeezed by the same economic forces, landlords can’t raise rent. Watch this episode and we’ll do a deep dive into why this is happening and what you can do to prepare yourself for a tough couple of years.

Why Investors Are Eager to Sell, But We’re Waiting to Buy

Wed, 07 Aug 2024 11:28:39 -0600

On this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, I reveal why I am raising millions of dollars from savvy investors. The past few months and years have been a great opportunity for multifamily investors, especially when it comes to interest rates. But now, interest rates are going up, and other costs are as well, and many investors are starting to lose money. What’s more, many of them structured low loan payments in exchange for a balloon payment at the end of the term, and now that last payment is looming. Their inexperience is going to be our opportunity, as we are preparing to buy at much lower prices than market value. Watch this video to learn more about what we’re doing now, and what we’ll be doing in the future.

Raul Villacis on how having the EDGE helps you in real estate

Thu, 20 Jun 2024 16:04:00 -0600

On this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, our special guest is Raul Villacis, founder of the Next Level Experience, a personal development company that teaches men how to discover or rediscover their EDGE. In this episode, recorded in his studio in Stamford, CT, Raul shares his early real estate successes and failures that led him to the personal development world.

Trump's Real Estate Valuation Controversy: A Deep Dive

Tue, 09 Apr 2024 12:23:28 -0600

As you may have heard, New York Justice Arthur F. Engoron ruled that Donald Trump had illegally inflated the value of his real estate holdings to deceive banks into giving him loans that were larger and at lower interest rates compared to the actual value of his properties.

Wed, 27 Mar 2024 09:30:25 -0600

On this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, we watch a clip of Dave Ramsey giving a pretty harsh reality check to any would-be investor. You may have heard on TikTok or other short-form social media sites that once you buy a multifamily property, your renters pay your mortgage. While that is true in the sense that your money does come from rental income, you can’t just sit back and wait for a truck full of money to come to you. In this reaction video, Trot and I discuss this clip from Dave Ramsey’s show.

The Art of Leverage: Debt Strategies for Multifamily Investors

Wed, 28 Feb 2024 18:17:58 -0600

In this episode of the Heartland Multifamily podcast, Trot and I discuss the strategic use of debt in achieving financial success, particularly in real estate. The conversation addresses common concerns and strategies associated with taking on debt. Key points include the importance of having a clear understanding of one's balance sheet or net worth, which reflects the value of assets minus liabilities. This understanding helps mitigate the stress associated with debt, especially when it's leveraged strategically to grow one's business or investment portfolio. We also talk about the concept of loan-to-value (LTV) ratio, emphasizing our preferred sweet spot of 50 to 60% LTV as a balance between risk mitigation and avoiding personal loan guarantees, which can add stress and risk to financial ventures. This episode offers valuable insights into managing debt wisely to enhance financial growth and stability.

Are Landlords Really Giving Away Luxury Apartments?

Tue, 13 Feb 2024 13:30:59 -0600

On this short episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, I react to a TikTok video that claims that many vacant apartments are now empty. According to the content creator, investors have built too many luxury apartments, and now they are sitting empty. As a result, the landlords and management companies have to lower prices or even give away a month or two of free rent (Which actually covers the real estate broker’s fee), which even brings down the price of single-family homes. It’s quite a claim, but is it overblown? Trot and I discuss this video, and give our insights from our experience being multifamily investors.

Watch this video to gain a concise yet comprehensive understanding of the current multifamily market dynamics. Our conversation is particularly beneficial for those looking to grasp the complexities of the market, offering insights into potential opportunities and challenges.

The secret that nearly all investors overlook

Tue, 16 Jan 2024 16:24:13 -0600

In this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, Trot and I discuss a secret weapon to investing success that most investors overlook. In fact, it’s so often overlooked that it’s actually noteworthy when someone does take advantage of it. What is it? It’s physical fitness. Most people don’t make the connection between physical fitness and investing success, but there are many compelling reasons to make time for fitness. Investing is hard. You’re going to face adversity. Facing the physical pain of being gassed out or lifting weights is something you will have to face if you are pushing yourself in the gym. This will prepare you mentally for the pain of deals not going your way, or needing to go that extra mile when making a real estate deal. In addition, being fit will give you energy, which is something that you’ll always need. Watch this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show.

How to choose the right property manager

Thu, 04 Jan 2024 11:59:21 -0600

On this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, Trot and I discuss three factors that can make the difference between finding the right property manager and having a poorly managed property that will lose renters and value. This is such an important component of successful multifamily investing that it surprises us how infrequently potential owners do this. In fact, we find that many owners come to us after it’s too late and they want to sell a property that is losing money. This episode will give you three things you can do (and one bonus one) that can make a huge difference in your multifamily investing journey.

Accomplish your new year’s resolution in 100 days

Wed, 20 Dec 2023 09:33:47 -0600

In this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, Trot and I discuss the importance of not only setting goals but achieving them early. We delve into the common practice of making New Year's resolutions and how many people, particularly entrepreneurs, delay their start, often waiting until the new year begins. We explore strategies for accomplishing goals, targets, and resolutions ahead of schedule. The idea is not to wait until the end of the year to celebrate achievements but to potentially reach these milestones much earlier, like by June or September. This approach can be a game-changer for many, especially in the multifamily business where we constantly operate with targets and goals. The episode promises to reveal practical strategies that can help listeners stop putting brakes on their progress and achieve their objectives well before their deadlines.

Don’t lose millions! 3 common errors that multifamily sellers make

Tue, 05 Dec 2023 16:19:55 -0600

In this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, Trot and I discuss a topic that's crucial for anyone in the multifamily investment space: the common mistakes made by multifamily property sellers. In our many years of experience, we have identified three significant errors that can cost sellers a substantial amount, ranging from tens of thousands to even millions of dollars. These mistakes are not just relevant to the current market conditions but apply to any market.

One of the primary mistakes we delve into is the emotional attachment sellers often have to their properties. This attachment can lead to unrealistic valuations and expectations, which can significantly hinder the success of a sale. Surprisingly, sellers can be attached emotionally even when it’s an investment property. Watch this episode to learn how to avoid making these mistakes and keep potentially millions of dollars in your pocket.

We also explore the legal complexities surrounding real estate commissions, particularly the recent class action lawsuits against the National Association of Realtors. These lawsuits challenge the traditional commission splits between selling and buying agents, highlighting potential conflicts and legal issues in the industry. This episode offers valuable insights into the evolving real estate market, making it essential viewing for anyone involved in property investments or real estate transactions.

Primal Debt. What is it? Should you be in it?

Tue, 14 Nov 2023 16:25:29 -0600

This episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show is about debt. But surprisingly, this show is not about money. Instead it’s about a concept called “Primal debt.” Not prime debt, not primordial debt, not sub-prime loans, but a different kind of debt. This is the debt that you owe to your ancestors, to the people around you today, and to your future descendants. The debt is paid by living your best life. You owe it to them, all of them, to live the best life you can. You have to appreciate the sacrifices that your ancestors made to give you the life you have today. You owe it to the people around you today to provide them with the best life you can. And you owe it to your children and future grandchildren and so on, to provide the best foundation so they can live their best lives. Watch this episode to learn about a new way to think about your life.

What is DEFCON 1 in multifamily investing?

Tue, 03 Oct 2023 10:02:37 -0600

What is Defcon 3 in Multifamily Real Estate Investing

Wed, 20 Sep 2023 09:10:15 -0600

Today on the Heartland Multifamily Show, Trot and I are talking about Defcon 3. What is it? Why do investors get to Defcon 3? How can you get out of Defcon 3, and what opportunities are there if you want to buy a property that’s at Defcon 3? Defcon 3, meaning Defense Condition 3, is a phrase that dates back to the Cold War. The Defense Condition went from Defcon 5, meaning peaceful but aware of threats, to Defcon 1, which is a full-scale nuclear attack. This analogy also applies to multifamily real estate investing. When you are at Defcon 3, you are inching closer to disaster, but you have the opportunity to right the ship before things get so bad that you can’t fix them. And on the other side of it, if you are an investor who sees another property at Defcon 3 and you have done your due diligence, you can get a good deal to buy and fix up a property that the previous owner has mismanaged. Watch this episode to learn the basics of Defcon 3.

The not-so-secret secret to Being Successful in life

Tue, 12 Sep 2023 09:26:38 -0600

Today on the Heartland Multifamily Show, I’m talking about a not-so-secret secret to success in life. I know it may sound a little conceited, but if you want to be a winner, you’ve got to be around other winners. As Jim Rohn and many others have said, you are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with. On this episode, Trot and I discuss why most people don’t spend time around people smarter and better than them, so you can understand what hurdles you have to overcome in order to be around winners, so you can be a winner yourself.

Should multifamily investors be alarmed by Blackstone defaulting on payments?

Tue, 05 Sep 2023 12:47:48 -0600

Today on the Heartland Multifamily we are talking about Blackstone. Blackstone is one of the largest real estate holdings in the world, with a global portfolio that spans from residential rentals to hospitals, hotels, self-storage, shopping centers, and more. (Note that they are unrelated to Blackrock, another large investment firm.) Blackstone has lowered the amount they distribute money they collect from these rentals to their investors and now they are defaulting on loans. It turns out that even with billions of dollars worth of property, you can still have operating expenses that are greater than your income.

On this episode, Trot and I discuss the many warning signs that the media seems to have missed, and how their financial trouble can affect you, the small multifamily investor. Watch this episode to learn valuable lessons and you may even avoid getting crunched if Blackstone declares bankruptcy.

Why MULTIFAMILY Investors Must Have Both Strategy and Tactics

Wed, 26 Jul 2023 10:33:33 -0600

On this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, I am going to talk about two important things that you must understand to be a successful multifamily investor. These are two things that go hand in hand, you can’t have one without the other. I’m talking about strategy and tactics. You can’t implement your strategy if you don’t execute tactics, but you can’t execute those tactics if you don’t have a strategy for growth. In this episode, you’ll learn why you need to know your timeline, why you need both whether you are a passive or active investor, and how you can get on the same page with your investing partners. If you can understand how to do both, you can have a road map for successful investing.

How to Invest in Real Estate When Renters Have the Upper Hand

Tue, 11 Jul 2023 10:51:06 -0600

In this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, we discuss a recent article in the Wall Street Journal saying that renters have the upper hand. What this means is that tenets, not property owners, have greater leverage when it comes to finding a place to live and work, and therefore rents are declining (or at least not going up as fast). As a result of this, many investors are seeing red on their balance sheets. As an investor, you need to understand the risks and benefits of investing in multifamily, or any other kind of real estate. This episode will help you navigate this tough period by keeping your mind on the long-term profits you can see if you invest well today.

Make More Money in Multifamily by Disobeying Speed Limits

Thu, 22 Jun 2023 11:10:13 -0600

Today on the Heartland Multifamily Show, I’m talking about speed limits with my special guest, Trot Carey. We associate speed limits with driving. Those speed limits are there with the average or below-average driver in mind, and are imposed to mitigate risk, and avoid the worst-case scenario. That said, many people exceed the speed limits because they make a calculated risk based on the driving conditions and their own abilities to get to their destination faster. Multifamily investing also has speed limits. There are some that are legal limits imposed on you, but many of those limits are self-imposed. In order to be a successful multifamily investor and reach your goals more quickly, you have to be aware of those speed limits, then adjust your actions accordingly. You need to put more work in, and drive yourself faster, but have self-awareness to know what speed limit is appropriate for you. Watch this video to learn how to reach your multifamily investing goals faster.

Why Rate of Return is Secondary to Place

Tue, 06 Jun 2023 17:40:17 -0600

In this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, I’m going to talk about why rate of return is not the most important factor in what properties you should invest in. Rate of return is important, but what’s more important is place. You need to have your property in a place that is insulated and protected from the unpredictable nature of the world. Social unrest, economic instability, and unpredictable outcomes make it so that you could very easily lose your money, through no fault of your own. The solution is to park your money in a place where it’s safe first, and then worry about rate of return second. Watch this episode to find out how you can protect your multifamily investment property.

Banks are Collapsing! What YOU can do to Protect Your Investments

Thu, 25 May 2023 10:08:34 -0600

On this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Podcast, I’m taking a short break from talking about multifamily investment and putting on my banker’s cap to explain what’s happening right now with banks in a way that matters to you. Banks hold money, but they don’t literally have all the money in every account in one big vault. This is called a “liquidity problem” because if everyone tried to get all their money at once, the bank would collapse. But it’s not just bad banks that have this problem, every bank has this. When a bank is on the brink of collapse, what tips it over is often the news (or rumors) that its customers can’t get their money back. Although banks may all seem the same at first, who sits on the board of directors and what their values are makes a huge difference in how banks are run. You need to do your due diligence where you put your money. And finally, smart investors are changing their objectives from making the most money to being most secure with their money and insulating themselves from risk. Watch this episode to learn what you can do to protect your money if your bank declares bankruptcy.

The three things you must know to get rich with multifamily property investing

Thu, 30 Mar 2023 15:23:00 -0600

Do you want to get rich? Do you want to build wealth with multifamily property investing? This is the episode for you. In this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, I will give you the three ways you can get rich in multifamily. These are not suggestions on specific properties you should buy, or a particular area that is coming up in value, these are three attitudes you need to have, three truths that you must accept, if you want to get rich. They are: Give yourself permission to build wealth. That wealth comes from equity, not income. And you must work very hard to make “passive” income. If you do not understand these concepts before you invest your money, you are going to have a much harder time getting rich from multifamily property investing.

What every investor must do (that has nothing to do with investing)

Tue, 17 Jan 2023 11:50:16 -0600

On this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, I am excited to let you in on a secret that every investor should know. It’s the secret to making more money. It’s the secret to having a better life. What is it? It’s the power of proximity. The people you spend the most time with are the people you are most like. And this includes people you spend time with on the other side of a screen. The people you follow on social media, the people (real and fictional) you watch on TV, the people you listen to on podcasts…they are all influencing you. And not in a marketing “social media influencer” kind of way, I mean the old fashioned “they have an impact on how you behave” influence. And here’s the real secret: You can choose who you spend time with. If you want to start 2023 off right, take an inventory of the people you are looking at and listening to, and ask yourself if they are adding to your life. If not, you may want to make some new friends.

Why Interest Rates Don’t Matter

Tue, 03 Jan 2023 09:00:00 -0600

This episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show is all about interest rates. This is one of the most common questions I get. “Should I buy now?” “Should I wait until interest rates change?” “How high will interest rates go?” As a long term investor, I can tell you: They don’t matter! That's right, interest rates don’t mater. In this episode, I will explain why you should stay calm when everyone around you is getting emotional and reactive. This episode will give you three reasons why you don’t have to worry about interest rates if you want to become an investor in multifamily.

How to Make More Money When Selling a Property with High Interest Rates

Tue, 20 Dec 2022 16:32:29 -0600

What can you do when interest rates are high? This is a question that I get asked very often and I will address it on this episode of the show. As a general rule, you should never sell in a high interest rate environment. This is because the loan payments to banks will be higher, and buyers aren't willing to pay more than they have to. So you, as the seller, have to take that extra money into consideration. Simply put, the buyer is going to pay the same amount, but the bank is getting more and you are getting less. But, life can be unpredictable, and sometimes you have to sell, even though the time isn’t good. Watch this episode to see how you can make the most of a high interest rate as a seller.

How to get more money when you sell your multifamily property

Tue, 06 Dec 2022 10:00:32 -0600

Do you want to make more money when you sell your multifamily property? Of course you do! But the market is particularly perilous at the moment. Interest rates are starting to get very high, and that can mean that your selling price has to come down when your potential buyers crunch the numbers and decide what they can afford. But if you’re smart, you don’t have to follow the crowd: You can get a higher price from your property and continue to make income from the properties you sell if you’re willing to adapt to changing market conditions. Watch this video to learn how.

Commercial Real Estate vs. Multifamily Property Part 2

Tue, 04 Oct 2022 11:06:52 -0600

If you saw the last episode of The Heartland Multifamily Show, I listed three possible downsides each to commercial and multifamily property ownership. This is part two, where I list the three best upsides to investing in either commercial or multifamily property.

Commercial real estate is a long buildup, followed by steady and predictable income. Multifamily real estate is easier to get into, but requires more work and has more variables that you can’t control. One is not necessarily better or worse than the other, but you have to decide where to spend your money, time, and energy to get the best return.

Tue, 20 Sep 2022 12:00:38 -0600

In this episode, I will give three negatives each about multifamily and commercial properties that will make it harder to make a profit by investing in this kind of property. The point is not to dissuade you from investing in either, but so that you can better understand what you will be dealing with should you decide to invest in real estate. You can use this as a guide to help you decide to invest.

It can take a lot of money to invest in a multi-family property, but there is also a lot of money to be made, if you do your diligence. The first thing you have to do is find properties that already have a long-term owner willing to sell to you. Second, find ways to realistically raise the rents on your tenants. And third, find ways to cut costs. Often, property owners are leaving money on the table, if you invest properly, you can take that money that they’re leaving behind.

3 Ways to Safely Invest in Multifamily Real Estate for BEGINNERS

Tue, 31 May 2022 09:38:44 -0600

Welcome to the debut episode of The Heartland Multi-Family show. In this show, I will show you how to invest in a multifamily property. This episode will focus on the three most important questions you have to know the answer to before you invest a single dollar. 1, Are you going to be a passive investor or an active one? There is no wrong answer. You can be a boots-on-the-ground investor and be in the thick of it, or you can delegate most of the work, and just sit back and collect passive income. 2, Will this property be profitable in 5-10 years. You will have to imagine yourself buying this property in 5 years, and would you buy it again or not? If the answer is no, then you might be a trouble because any potential investor who might buy it from you will think twice. The 3rd question is what will the cash flow look like throughout the life of the property? How much is the income and how much are the expenses? If you can answer these questions, you can properly calculate the numbers you can predict you will make on your investment property. Remember, of course, that any investment can lose money no matter how careful you are. Watch this episode to get your next investment of a multifamily home off to a great start.
