What’s it really like to invest in multifamily right now? In this episode, I sit down with Dustin Miles, co-founder of Momentum Multifamily, to talk through the lessons he’s learned after more than a decade in the business. Dustin shares how he started as a passive investor, what it was like to buy deals with huge spreads between debt and cap rates, and how the recent market shift has forced operators to adapt.

We dig into the dangers of floating-rate bridge loans, the rising cost of insurance and taxes, and why tax abatements are becoming a lifeline for some properties. For accredited investors newer to alternatives, Dustin explains what questions to ask when reviewing a sponsor’s track record and why communication is just as important as returns.

Ever wondered what a former IRS auditor thinks about your tax strategy? In this episode, I sit down with Gabe Hogan, a tax attorney who spent years inside the IRS before moving to the private side.

We cover everything from the Augusta Rule and paying your kids to advanced plays like oil and gas and short-term rentals. Gabe also opens up about the inefficiencies inside the IRS, what really triggers an audit, and why good planning beats last-minute write-offs every time.

If you’re a doctor, attorney, or business owner tired of paying more than your fair share, you’ll walk away with practical strategies and a new way to think about taxes.

Dave Kotter explains how he combines the security of debt with the upside of equity in his hybrid loan strategy. By securing a first-position lien, he ensures strong downside protection. By adding equity participation, he captures growth potential.

We cover how he chooses deals, vets operators, and negotiates terms that work for both sides. If you’ve been looking for an investment approach that delivers predictable income without capping your upside, Dave’s model is worth understanding.

Steve Blackwell isn’t just raising capital—he’s building communities of passive investors who want better access, better deals, and better alignment. In this episode, we talk through how he evaluates operators, the red flags investors should look out for, and how he structures investments to protect downside while leaving room for upside.
