In this episode of The Passive Income Playbook (on the Best Ever CRE Show), Pascal Wagner sits down with CPA power duo Amanda Han & Matt MacFarland of Keystone CPA—nationally recognized tax strategists, co-authors of The Book on Tax Strategies for the Savvy Real Estate Investor (BiggerPockets Publishing), and active investors with 20+ years of experience across multifamily, self-storage, and passive syndications.

    Why 90% of Advisors Keep You in Stocks & Bonds

    👉 Get 25+ Passive Investment Deals in Your Inbox:http://growyourcashflow.io/investing-starter-kit-ytMost advisors only talk stocks, bonds, and mutual funds—while serious LPs are hunting real estate, private credit, oil & gas, and other true alternatives. Which means many investors are left to DIY their alternative portfolio—sorting through deals without institutional access, objective due diligence, or a framework to know what’s worth wiring into. In this episode of The Passive Income Playbook (on the Best Ever CRE Show), Pascal Wagner sits down with Fred Hubler, founder of Creative Capital, a retainer-based wealth firm serving 300+ families across 30 states.  Fred’s practice is built to advise across the entire balance sheet—not just what an advisor can custody—so clients can add institutional-grade alternatives alongside their public market exposure. In this episode, you’ll learn how to:✅ Build a portfolio like an endowment—balancing public markets with real estate, private credit, and other alts✅ Evaluate deals with a repeatable due diligence filter (so you don’t waste time on losers)✅ Spot “unfair advantages” that separate winning sponsors from average operators✅ Understand DSTs, non-traded REITs, and direct LPs—and when each makes sense for you✅ Use oil & gas strategically—for tax offsets and long-term income✅ Avoid the trap of paying 1% AUM fees for advice that ignores 70% of your balance sheet If you’ve ever felt underserved by AUM-only advice—or you’re building an LP portfolio that needs real diversification and better deal selection—this episode gives you a practical playbook to evaluate opportunities with confidence.

    Preferred Equity EXPLAINED: Don’t Get Wiped Out as an LP

    👉 Get 25+ Passive Investment Deals in Your Inbox:http://growyourcashflow.io/investing-starter-kit-ytThe 2023–2024 market made preferred equity explode. Tight lending and higher rates pushed sponsors to raise more pref than ever before. If you’re LP investing today, you’ll see it—and you need to know how it works. Because here’s the catch: if you don’t understand where pref sits in the stack, you could end up behind it—taking on more risk, getting diluted, or even watching your equity get wiped out while pref investors still get paid. In this episode of The Passive Income Playbook (on the Best Ever CRE Show), Pascal Wagner sits down with Paul Moore, founder of Wellings Capital, who’s raised $190M+ from nearly 1,000 investors across multiple funds. Paul explains what preferred equity really is, how it stacks up against common equity, and why his firm shifted heavily into pref in recent years. In this episode you’ll learn: ✅ The capital stack explained: debt vs. preferred vs. common equity ✅ Why pref surged during the 2023–24 lending crunch ✅ How pref protects LPs in downturns—and when it doesn’t ✅ JV hybrid equity: a middle ground with both safety and upside ✅ Practical ranges of pref returns (and red flags if they’re too high) ✅ Which investors should consider pref vs. those who should stick with common Whether you’re new to LP investing or you’ve wired into dozens of deals, this episode will give you the clarity to evaluate opportunities with confidence.

In this episode of The Passive Income Playbook (Best Ever CRE Show), Pascal sits down with industrial real estate veteran Joel Friedland, founder of Brit Properties, who’s acquired 100+ assets over 40 years while pioneering a debt-free model in one of the most durable asset classes. In this episode, you’ll learn:✅ Why “sticky” industrial tenants rarely move—and how that stabilizes returns✅ The risks leverage introduces and how going all-cash changes the LP experience✅ How infill locations near highways/airports drive long-term value✅ Why almost no new small-bay supply makes Class B industrial a landlord’s market✅ How tariffs, politics, and labor shortages shape the future of U.S. manufacturing Whether you’re new to syndications or re-thinking your risk tolerance, this conversation will give you a fresh lens on how to protect capital and still earn strong cash flow.

    Why Most LPs Fail at Due Diligence (and How to Fix It)

    👉 Get 25+ Passive Investment Deals in Your Inbox:http://growyourcashflow.io/investing-starter-kit-ytMost LPs judge a deal by the projected returns. But glossy pitch decks rarely tell you what really matters. The pros know that the real risk lives in the operator and the assumptions—the places most investors never dig deep enough. Miss those, and you end up in a deal where the numbers don’t materialize, the communication dries up, and you’re stuck hoping someone else can land the plane. On this episode of The Passive Income Playbook (on the Best Ever CRE network), Pascal sits down with Matt Picheny—Tony Award–winning Broadway producer, bestselling author of Backstage Guide to Real Estate, multifamily GP (16+ deals) and LP (28+ deals). Matt’s rare vantage point—coaching first-time sponsors while continuing to operate and invest himself—makes this a masterclass in thinking like a GP so you can invest like a smarter LP. In this episode he breaks down:→ How to vet sponsors beyond the pitch deck and spot red flags early→ The underwriting assumptions that separate conservative from careless→ Why today’s cycle may offer attractive entries if you can stomach the fear→ Cap rates explained simply—and how they impact valuations→ Lessons from his first LP deal that went sideways due to operator error→ Fixed vs. floating debt, capital calls, and real-world investor communication→ His Sun Belt value-add strategy and why he underwrites to worse exit cap rates than purchase Whether this is your first syndication or your 15th, this conversation gives you a sharper checklist for sponsors, markets, and deals—so you can protect capital and compound wisely. Chapters: 00:03 – Think Like an Operator: The LP Edge 01:20 – From Broadway to Buildings: Why Matt’s Lens Helps LPs 04:16 – The “Backstage Guide” Playbook: How Deals Really Work 08:36 – First LP Deal Went Sideways: What Operator Risk Looks Like 12:59 – Sponsor Diligence 101: Track Record, Assumptions, Communication 16:49 – Cycles & Sentiment: Why Unpopular Times Create Opportunity 21:12 – Debt Structure in Practice: Fixed vs. Floating (and Assumptions) 26:02 – Capital Calls & LP Alignment: Terms That Protect (or Hurt) You 33:04 – Conservative Underwriting: Exit Cap Discipline & Stress Tests 44:36 – Market & Strategy: Sun Belt Value-Add with Real Resident Wins
