    Direct To Seller Systems, Relationship Marketing and Scaling With LP Capital ft. Axel Ragnarsson

    On this week’s episode of Multifamily Mastery, John Casmon interviews Axel Ragnarsson. Axel breaks down his direct to seller playbook for small to mid-size New England multifamily, from dream-list targeting to low-pressure, relationship-first outreach by phone, email, text, and mail to stay top of mind with unsophisticated owners. He shares how he overcame capital bottlenecks by building a marketing engine that attracts retail LPs via podcasts, LinkedIn, and a growing newsletter, plus the mindset shifts to handle rejection. Axel also unpacks scaling through vertical integration and people, including partnering into property management, hiring an acquisitions manager, and using VAs for asset management, along with tactical tips on list building, skip tracing, channel sequencing, and when to use cold calling versus direct mail.

    100% Bonus Depreciation, SALT Cap Relief and PTET Strategies ft. Amanda Han and Matt MacFarland

    On this week’s episode of Passive Income Playbook, Pascal Wagner interviews Amanda Han and Matt MacFarland. They break down the One Big Beautiful Bill for real estate investors, from the return of 100% bonus depreciation and why placed-in-service timing matters to smart ways LPs can plan for depreciation recapture instead of fearing it. Amanda and Matt also hit SALT cap relief, pass-through entity tax elections that can turn state taxes into deductible business expenses, and a niche but powerful new 100% write-off for buildings used directly in manufacturing. You’ll hear practical LP due-diligence red flags, how to sync exit timelines with your CPA, and why “strategy stacking” can compound savings across your portfolio.

    Unsexy Winners, Exit Multiples and When Franchising Beats Going Solo ft. Jon Ostenson

    On this week’s episode of Best Ever CRE Show, Amanda Cruise interviews Jon Ostenson. They dig into the real playbook for non-food franchises, from what makes home and property services so profitable to when you’re just buying yourself a job versus building a manager-run business. Jon breaks down territory strategy, startup costs and funding options like SBA and ROBS, plus why national accounts, an aligned tech stack and franchisor support can 10x your speed to market compared with going solo. They also cover due-diligence “dating,” culture and hiring, exit multiples, and why food concepts often carry more risk than “unsexy” winners like dumpsters, asphalt and temporary walls.

    Rent Ceilings, Supply Shocks and Class Shifts: Fireside Chat with John Chang and Matt Faircloth

    On this week’s episode of Best Ever CRE Show, Matt Faircloth and John Chang are bringing you another fireside chat. They go back and forth on multifamily’s next five years, debating rent ceilings versus demand tailwinds, class-by-class dynamics, and why construction tariffs and replacement costs could freeze new supply even as Gen Z household formation builds pressure. John explains how treasury issuance and the 10-year may keep long rates sticky, why office could be a dark-horse recovery play, and how hotels trading below replacement cost create near-term opportunity. They wrap with recession risk, practical stress tests, and when it’s smarter to build reserves or sell before the cycle turns.

    Four Pillars Of Capital Attraction, Avatar Alignment and Discovery Call Mastery ft. Lauren Brychell

    On this week’s episode of Unlimited Capital, Richard McGirr interviews Lauren Brychell. They dig into her new 90-day playbook Beyond the Lead, outlining the four pillars of capital attraction and why most firms don’t need more leads, they need better conversion and nurture systems. Lauren and Richard get tactical on aligning marketing and sales into a single machine, building a lightweight tech stack with CRM, investor portal and segmented drips, and running discovery calls that keep your talk time under 20% while guiding prospects up a yes-ladder. They also compare top-of-funnel strategies—high-ROI in-person events, heavy content repurposing and distribution, and the realities of paid ads where only best-in-class funnels win.

    Weak Jobs Data, Fed Cuts and A Rare Debt Window with John Chang

    On this week’s episode of Horizon Podcast, John Chang breaks down the newest jobs report, why the Fed is poised to cut, and how a sub-4 percent 10-year Treasury creates a short window to lock attractive debt for acquisitions and refis. He explains why policy uncertainty and tariffs could stoke stagflation, then maps the likely impacts by asset class, from steady necessity retail and mixed industrial outlooks to a nascent office recovery fueled by rising return-to-office pressure. John also outlines why supply pipelines are tapering faster than demand in many markets, how absorption could remain positive even through a mild recession, and why real estate may still outperform stocks and bonds if inflation lingers.
