Are you chasing cash flow and forgetting the big picture? In today’s episode, I break down the real reason we invest in multifamily—and why the goal isn't instant riches, but long-term capital preservation and control.

Here’s what I’m covering:

• The difference between cash flow and appreciation (and why you need both)

• Why preserving your capital should always come first

• How forced appreciation really works (and why it's not easy)

• Why multifamily beats stocks and single-family homes

• What to look for before parking your money in any deal

If you're ready to stop thinking like a hobbyist and start thinking like an investor and business owner, this episode is for you.

Are you staring at spreadsheets without really knowing what they’re telling you?

In this episode, I break down the most important return metrics in multifamily real estate—from cash-on-cash and IRR to DSCR and equity multiple. I explain what they actually mean, why they matter, and how to use them to make smart investment decisions.

We’re not just guessing here. These numbers tell a story—and if you know how to read them, you’ll stop overpaying, start protecting your capital, and finally start growing real wealth.

Whether you're an LP trying to spot BS in a pitch deck or an operator building your summary page, this one is for you.
