    REAL DEAL: Scaling Big with a Small Hotel Deal with Tony Robinson

    Welcome to The Real Estate Investing School Podcast! In this episode, host Brody Fausett sits down with Tony Robinson, real estate investor and host of the BiggerPockets Rookie Real Estate Podcast, to break down a unique hotel deal in Kanab, Utah. Tony shares how he transitioned from corporate life to scaling his real estate business, eventually securing this 13-room hotel near Zion National Park through creative seller financing. Listeners will hear firsthand how Tony overcame setbacks with two failed attempts at raising capital for larger deals and learned to “scale smarter” by focusing on smaller, achievable opportunities. Tony dives deep into the numbers, outlining how he structured the deal with $200K down, favorable seller-financing terms, and a $600K raise to cover renovations and working capital. Brody and Tony discuss the importance of finding great partnerships, managing investor relationships, and leveraging equity strategically for future growth. This candid conversation highlights the power of perseverance, creative deal structuring, and maintaining a mindset of providing opportunities for investors, rather than simply asking for money.

    The Journey from Single-Family to Multifamily with Harry Arsene

    Welcome back to the Real Estate Investing School Podcast! In this episode, host Joe Jensen sits down with Harry Arsene, co-founder and manager of Arsene Construction, a Seattle-based real estate development and construction company. Harry brings a wealth of technical expertise to his role, holding a BS in Mechanical Engineering and an MS in Product Development Engineering. Over the past 17 years, Harry and his team have built an impressive portfolio, ranging from luxury townhomes to multifamily residential buildings. The conversation kicks off with Harry’s inspiring journey, including how he and his wife started in real estate after attending a seminar while he was still working full-time in the aerospace industry. Harry shares the ups and downs of scaling from single-family flips to full-scale multifamily developments, including the story of their largest project to date—a 50-unit, 50,000-square-foot multifamily building in Seattle. He dives deep into the complexities of ground-up development, explaining the entitlement process, funding strategies, and how to manage construction risks in a volatile market. Along the way, Harry reveals how their first deal—initially a flip that turned into a long-term rental due to market conditions—laid the foundation for a philosophy of flexibility and multiple exit strategies, a key lesson for any investor. Whether you’re a beginner looking to move into multifamily projects or a seasoned investor curious about large-scale development, this episode is packed with insights on navigating risks, leveraging partnerships, and building wealth through real estate.
