How do top operators win deals AND protect investors in today’s market?
It all starts with underwriting that actually works.

In this episode of Path of Progress, host Alex Kononov sits down with Hitomi Yasuda, co‑founder of Underwrite2Win, who has personally underwritten 1,500+ multifamily and commercial deals across 10 states.

Hitomi reveals how she screens markets, stress‑tests deals, and why she focuses on conservative numbers over hype—plus the mindset shifts that helped her walk away from bad deals (including a $50M one!) and win a $19.5M property by offering less than competitors.
