Join Bronson Hill on the Mailbox Money Show for another packed conversation with multifamily operator Kent Ritter on what the recent market correction truly revealed about investing in apartments. Kent shares hard-won lessons from the post-2022 downturn, why many new sponsors struggled, and why disciplined operators in strong, supply-constrained Midwest markets are now positioned for attractive opportunities. The discussion covers supply/demand fundamentals, the importance of operational excellence, conservative underwriting in a higher-rate environment, and how passive investors can reframe past challenges to capitalize on the current cycle.

Kent Ritter is the CEO and founder of Hudson Investing, a multifamily private equity firm focused on the Midwest. With a background in business ownership and deep experience in real estate, Kent specializes in acquiring and operating apartments in stable, job-growing markets like Indianapolis and Cincinnati. He also hosts the Ritter on Real Estate podcast, where he interviews top operators and shares practical insights for investors.
