    Peter Harris Live (07/28/26): Why Multifamily Beats Traditional Retirement

    Discover why multifamily real estate is the best vehicle to build your own pension—and why relying on Wall Street leaves you with uncertainty instead of security.  You'll learn: Why the traditional retirement system is failing the middle classHow Wall Street secures the best deals while ordinary investors get the leftoversThe four‑step formula for building your own pension with off‑market multifamily real estateFive ways to fund a multifamily‑supported pension planWhy none of this requires large savings, prior experience, or the “perfect” starting pointStudent Spotlight:  You’ll meet Bill, who built his own pension through a 24‑unit off‑market deal he purchased for $900,000 — a property that appraised at $1.38M before closing, giving him $480,000 in equity on day one. He’ll walk through how he found it, funded it, and turned it into a long‑term retirement engine.

    Peter Harris Live (07/21/26): Good Deals Aren’t Found — They’re Made

    In this week's episode, you'll discover why strong commercial deals aren’t just found — they’re made. Peter breaks down the strategy behind repositioning multifamily properties, creating value, and making your deals. Student Spotlight:  You’ll also hear from Kendrick, a CPA and retired 20‑year Air Force veteran, who took a tired 8‑unit, transformed it inside and out, more than doubled the rents, more than doubled the value — and kept his tenants through the entire process. His story is proof that the right improvements can change both the property and the investor. Tuesdays with Peter LIVE!

    Peter Harris Live (07/14/26): Government‑Backed Real Estate Playbook

    This week's live session breaks down our government‑backed real estate playbook — the programs that lower down payments, guarantee rents, and make commercial deals possible for beginners. Peter simplifies the financing tools, the loan guarantees, and the housing voucher systems that turn Section 8 into reliable, stress‑free cash flow. Student Spotlight:  You’ll also hear how Ken used these steps to acquire a 24‑unit property, raise its performance, and grow it from a $1.2M purchase to a $2.9M valuation — building roughly $1.7M in wealth in three years using government support. He’ll walk through the government program he used and how he applied the playbook from start to finish. Tuesdays with Peter LIVE!

    Peter Harris Live (06/23/26): How to Make the Switch From Full‑Time Job to Full‑Time Investor

    A demanding W‑2 job on one side. Passive revenue and control of your time on the other. This week's training shows how ordinary working people make that switch through commercial real estate — starting with the resources they already have and the mindset that makes the transition possible. You’ll learn: ▪️How to begin with what you already have (HELOC, retirement, home equity) ▪️Why waiting until you “feel ready” quietly costs years ▪️The three mindset shifts that separate investors from lifelong employees ▪️How to protect what you’ve built while creating new passive income ▪️Why age, background, and experience matter far less than you think Student Spotlight: You’ll also hear from Dave, a former truck driver who worked sixty‑plus hour weeks before making the switch in his mid‑fifties. He used a HELOC to fund his start, built a multifamily portfolio, and reclaimed his time. His story proves that regular working people — with families, responsibilities, and no Wall Street background — can make this transition with the right guidance. Tuesdays with Peter LIVE!
