From Acquisition to Now: Whitehouse Manor Project Update - #246

In this powerful episode of the Real Estate Reserve Podcast, Jason and Ian break down the full lifecycle of a major multifamily investment—the 76-unit Whitehouse Manor project in Baltimore, MD—a deal they've been involved in for the past 5 years.

What started as a $5 million acquisition with 90% seller financing turned into a rollercoaster of refinancing, near-sales, market changes, and valuable lessons. From a missed $8.8M exit to today's valuation closer to $8.2M, they unpack what went right, what went wrong, and what's next.
