    This $7B Developer Started with One Flip | Roots Pod #63

    Paul Thrift bought his first house the summer after high school. Today Thompson Thrift has built $7 billion of real estate across more than 20 states. He and his partner John met in high school and bought a repossessed home together right after graduation. Forty years later Thompson Thrift is a national multifamily developer with about 200 people in the Indianapolis office alone. He opens up the machine behind it: roughly 1,100 accredited investors, 800 million to a billion dollars of development a year, and a five-year life cycle on every deal. Less than 10% of the business is even in Indiana, and he explains why the state keeps producing developers who punch above their weight. He is also honest about the one venture that lost so much money it nearly ended everything. Paul spent 40 years building his edge.

    Still Renting? Here's What It's Costing You... | Roots Pod #62

    Renting vs buying a house in Indianapolis — Max Moore runs two side-by-side timelines on the same $300K home to show exactly what waiting to buy really costs you. One renter, one buyer, both saving the same money. Who comes out ahead after one year? After five? Max pencils out the down payment, the appreciation, the principal paydown, and the number most people never run: what the buyer walks away with for "doing absolutely nothing." Max bought his first home at 19. The average first-time buyer in America is now over 40. This is the math that explains the gap, plus honest answers to the two objections he hears most: "I'll wait for rates to drop" and "I'm not sure I'll plant roots here yet."

    47 Years of Indy Real Estate Secrets ($100M+ Invested) | Roots Pod #61

    For 47 years Larry Browning has built commercial real estate in Indianapolis on the one thing most investors overlook: relationships. In this episode he shows Max Moore and Tyler Lingle how he found the deals and raised the capital to execute through groups, creative finance, and what he calls relational equity, then how he learned to push every deal past win-win into real community impact.

    Where to Buy in Indianapolis (By Zip Code...) | Roots Pod #60

    Indianapolis zip codes are a terrible way to pick an investment, and this episode shows you exactly why. Max Moore and Tyler Lingle go zip by zip across Indy: where the cash flow actually is, the hidden gem areas they would buy in today, where to find real appreciation, and the zones they personally refuse to touch. The big takeaway: one zip code can hold 5 to 10 completely different neighborhoods, so you have to buy street by street, not by the number on the map. Real listings, real numbers, and honest calls on 46201, Eagledale, Irvington, Broad Ripple, the Meridian corridor, Mars Hill, and Martindale-Brightwood.

    Indianapolis Was a Ghost Town... He's Helping Turn it Around | Roots Pod #59

    Since the 1980s, people have been leaving downtown Indianapolis for the suburbs. Greg Enas did the opposite. After 30 years in executive leadership at Eli Lilly, he could have retired to a beach and a golf course. Instead he moved into the heart of the city to build community, on a mission to make Indianapolis the joy capital of the world. In this episode, hosts Tyler Lingle and Max Moore sit down with Greg, a longtime Indy resident and redemptive entrepreneur, to talk about how he became one of the most connected people in the city, why he believes ROOTS matter more than money, and what it actually takes to build a flourishing community.
