2. 7 Ways to Invest in Real Estate — And How to Pick the Right One, Ep. 815

   Oct 27, 2026

   John Kasman, host of Multifamily Insights, walks through seven real estate investment strategies: single-family rentals, fix and flips, small multifamily and house hacking, large apartments and syndications, short-term and mid-term rentals, wholesaling, and REITs. He draws on his own experience, including a two-unit house hack and losses on three fix-and-flip projects, to explain why investors often choose a strategy that does not match their skills, time, or temperament. He closes with private lending as a bonus strategy for passive investors.

3. How to Add Value Beyond Raising Rents with Andrew Cramer, Ep. 814

   Oct 20, 2026

   Andrew Cramer, founder of Bridgeview Asset Management, discusses how manufactured housing has been stigmatized by pre-1976 construction and how the federal HUD code changed the product. He walks through Bridgeview's value-add approach for manufactured housing communities, including recovering density, submetering utilities, and making community improvements that can qualify parks for agency financing. The conversation also covers how the order of operations affects resident relations and where the recession-resistant reputation of manufactured housing holds up.

4. Your Multifamily Exit Starts on Day One with John Casmon, Ep. 813

   Oct 13, 2026

   Solo episode in which host John Casmon argues that multifamily investors should plan their exit at acquisition, starting with underwriting assumptions. He covers identifying the ideal buyer for a property, using annual broker opinions of value (BOVs), how loan terms, prepayment penalties, and interest rates shape what the next buyer can pay, and refinancing as an exit path. He closes with disposition fees, taxes, and late-arriving costs that operators often fail to underwrite.

5. Do You Want a Real Estate Investment or a Real Estate Business, Ep. 812

   Oct 6, 2026

   John Kasman discusses the critical decision between active and passive real estate investing, emphasizing that strategy must align with investor goals, financial situation, employment, and available time. He defines active investors as those responsible for day-to-day operations and outcomes, and passive investors as those who invest capital but delegate decision-making to others. Kasman challenges the misconception that hiring a property manager creates a passive investment, using financial analysis to show why active investors must still manage their managers. The episode culminates in a central question: do you want to own a business or an investment?

6. The Upgrade That Boosts Rents Without Rehabbing Units with David Tashjian, Ep. 811

   Sep 29, 2026

   David Tashjian, Senior Vice President of Comcast's Xfinity Communities, discusses how apartment owners can leverage connectivity and technology to enhance resident experience and increase revenues. He explains the difference between full fiber retrofits and Comcast's Connected Building retrofit solution that reuses existing wiring, and shares how national multifamily operators are converting technology upgrades into higher rents and technology fees. The conversation covers deployment challenges, the fragmented proptech landscape, and Xfinity's vision as a unified technology partner at scale.

7. When "Buy and Hold" Stops Making Sense, Ep. 810

   Sep 23, 2026

   John Casmon addresses a critical question for multifamily investors: when to sell versus hold an existing property. He walks through a practical framework including current property performance, market conditions, future plans, remaining upside potential, and available options (loan terms, investor preferences, reinvestment opportunities). Casmon emphasizes that indefinite buy-and-hold strategies create opportunity costs and that cap rate expansion can erase operator gains, requiring disciplined decision-making rather than emotional attachment or greed.

8. The Tax Mistake Quietly Costing Real Estate Owners Six Figures with Tom Brodie, Ep. 809

   Sep 15, 2026

   Tom Brodie, National Account Executive at CSSI, explains cost segregation studies—a tax strategy that allows commercial and multifamily property owners to accelerate depreciation schedules and dramatically reduce tax liability. He walks through real examples, including a $2.9M medical office building that generated $3.48M in accelerated depreciation versus $13,790 under standard methods, and reveals a common land valuation error that quietly costs owners six figures. He also discusses recapture, 1031 exchanges, and when to pursue cost segregation.

9. Why Success Starts With Who You Become With Jonathan Berryhill, Ep. 808

   Sep 8, 2026

   Jonathan Berryhill, a former U.S. Army infantry sergeant and law enforcement officer, discusses his transformation from poverty and a failed marriage into building multiple seven and eight-figure businesses, including three real estate brokerages and a land-flipping enterprise. He shares how alignment at home, identity forging, and long-term commitment—rather than motivation—became the foundation for his success in real estate, entrepreneurship, and family legacy.

10. Buy, Sell, or Hold? How I'm Navigating Multifamily Right Now, Ep. 807

    Sep 1, 2026

    John Kasman, host and apartment investor, discusses his current framework for evaluating multifamily deals in today's market—whether to buy, sell, or hold. He explains how higher interest rates and savings alternatives have changed the investment landscape, and walks through his decision-making process: separating uncontrollable macro factors from operational performance, evaluating each deal individually, and weighing value-add upside against loan runway. Kasman also shares his philosophy of treating real estate assets as trades, emphasizes the importance of leverage and control, and projects forced seller opportunities over the next 12–18 months.
