    #84 4 Reasons California Apartment Owners Are Selling in 2026

    Send us Fan Mail 've spoken with hundreds of apartment owners across California, and in 2026 the same four reasons keep coming up for why they're selling. Rent control, insurance, evictions, and values. In this episode I break down each one honestly, including what it's costing owners right now and why I'm still buying anyway. 📞 Own an apartment building and want to know where you stand?

    #83 From $10-a-Day Field Worker to Apartment Owner in One of America's Priciest Zip Codes

    Send us Fan Mail If you think you need wealthy parents or generational wealth to build a real estate portfolio — this video is proof that you don't.   Juan Huizar, President of Sage Real Estate, immigrated from La Victorina, Zacatecas, Mexico at age four. His family walked through the desert for a better life, settled in California's Central Valley, and by nine years old Juan was working the garlic fields for $10 a day. Today he owns apartment buildings, commercial property, and a business in one of the most expensive zip codes in the U.S.   In this video, Juan shares the full story — the village with a dirt floor and no running water, the years of field work that gave him his hunger, the mentor (Mark Malan) who taught him that real estate is how you build lasting wealth, and the exact first steps he took: a fix-and-flip condo at 23 that turned into $35,000, then a triplex, and 20+ years later an 8-unit building, a 10-unit building, and two laundromats bought in a single 12-month stretch.

    #82 California Apartment Insurance DOUBLED — How Investors Are Saving Thousands

    Send us Fan Mail Insurance has quietly become one of the biggest expenses for California apartment owners — and most investors don't realize how much they're overpaying. In this episode, Juan Huizar (President of Sage Real Estate) sits down with Zach of INM Insurance to break down why apartment insurance premiums have DOUBLED since 2023, why carriers like Nationwide and State Farm pulled out of California, and exactly what you can do to protect your cash flow and your building's value. Whether you own a 4-plex or a 12-unit apartment building, this conversation gives you a real playbook: what to send for a competitive quote, the electrical panels that get policies canceled, admitted vs. non-admitted carriers, habitability claims, the California FAIR Plan, and why letting your coverage lapse can cost you everything. 👉 Get in touch with Juan (562) 307-0838 https://sageregroup.com/team/juan-huizar/ 👉 Get in touch with Zac (562) 493-3756 https://www.inminsurance.com Juan is a Licensed California Real Estate Broker that has acquired his Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) designation and a Real Estate Investor who is dedicated to helping people build wealth and financial independence through real estate investing.

    #81 How to Buy Your First Duplex in Long Beach (Just $28K Down)

    Send us Fan Mail Most people think you need hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy an investment property. You don't. In this episode of the Own More Doors podcast, Juan Huizar (President of Sage Real Estate) and Ann Te break down exactly what it takes to buy your first duplex in Long Beach — including pockets where you can own a home AND collect rental income for under $800,000. Ann pulled 12 months of closed duplex sales across Long Beach and mapped out where the value is, where the competition is, and where you have the most room to negotiate. If you feel priced out of a single-family home, this is the entry point most first-time buyers never consider. 👉 Reach Ann Te directly: https://sageregroup.com/team/ann-te/ Juan is a Licensed California Real Estate Broker that has acquired his Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) designation and a Real Estate Investor who is dedicated to helping people build wealth and financial independence through real estate investing.

    #80 New CA Law Lets You Legalize That Illegal Unit (AB 2533 Explained)

    Send us Fan Mail Got an apartment building with a unit that's "non-conforming," "grandfathered," or flat-out unpermitted? You're not alone — in Long Beach, a huge share of older buildings have been chopped up over the decades, and most owners are stuck. You can't count that income at the bank, you're carrying liability if a tenant gets hurt, and it quietly drags down your property's value. In this episode, Juan Huizar and Cody Charnell break down a new statewide California law that finally creates a real, streamlined pathway to legalize an existing unpermitted unit — without the full cost, fees, and energy standards of building a brand-new ADU. We walk through exactly who qualifies, what the city wants to see, and why you should seriously consider doing this before you list your property.

    #79 Long Beach Apartments Are on the CLEARANCE Rack Right Now (Here's the Data)

    Send us Fan Mail For the first time in my 20+ years doing this, I'm telling investors to stop what they're doing and pay attention. Cap rates are up, gross rent multipliers are down, and roughly 30% of 5+ unit buildings in Long Beach are trading for less than they sold five years ago. I just bought an 8-unit and a 10-unit in the last eight months — and in this video I break down exactly why the discounts are showing up on five units and above, not on fourplexes, duplexes, or single-family homes.

    Send us Fan Mail Everyone's been waiting for interest rates to drop. They didn't — at least not the way most people expected. But here's what's interesting: buyers are coming off the bench anyway, transactions are happening, and the people who waited 24 months are now watching prices climb past where they could have bought.

    #77 The Long Beach 5+ Unit Market Just CRASHED — Here's What $1M Buys You in 2026

    Send us Fan Mail The 5+ unit apartment market in Long Beach has crashed — and for the first time in years, investors are buying at REAL discounts. Sellers who bought in 2021 are losing $500K to $1M+ on their exits. Banks are taking hits. And smart investors? They're loading up. In this episode, Cody and I break down 4 real Long Beach apartment buildings (19 units, 12+ADU, 21 studios, and a 20-unit short sale) and show you exactly what $1,000,000 down gets you in today's market — cap rates, debt coverage ratios, cash flow projections, and the special 5.1% loan program most investors don't know about. If you've been waiting for the right time to get into multifamily, this is it. The clearance rack is open.
