    Seth Glasser and Matthew Gault sit down with Moshe Bloorian, founder and managing partner of Grey Hill Group, to discuss how he started in real estate from scratch in 2017 and scaled into a platform with over $300 million in assets under management across multifamily and industrial properties in secondary and tertiary markets.

The discussion highlights the real-world effect this has on small property owners, housing supply, and prospective tenants.
