  • Why This Distress Cycle Isn't the GFC w/ Värde Partners
    Season 7, Episode 4:
    How does a firm managing $17 billion navigate global real estate through high interest rates and a "hope-driven" market? Today, we sit down with Tim Mooney, partner and global head of real estate and Jim Dunbar, partner and head of real estate lending at Värde Partners. They break down how Värde operates across the capital stack, from senior lending and structured credit to niche equity platforms in student housing and medical offices.

Whether you’re curious about AI’s impact on real estate demand or looking for insights into international markets like India and Europe, this episode is a masterclass in institutional credit.

  • How Fifth Wall Conquered CRE’s Tech Resistance w/ CEO Brendan Wallace
    Season 6, Episode 5: The No Cap Podcast continues with hosts Jack Stone and Alex Gornik diving into the high-stakes world of proptech with Brendan Wallace, co-founder and CEO of Fifth Wall. Managing billions for the world’s largest real estate owners, Wallace explains his transition from a New York real estate family to bridging the gap between massive physical assets and cutting-edge technology.

    The conversation breaks down why real estate has historically been a "luddite" industry and how Fifth Wall’s unique strategy, using major industry players as LPs, turned a "bug into a feature" for tech adoption. From backing unicorns like Procore and Open Door to the strategic acquisition of Industrious by CBRE, Wallace shares the inside track on what actually drives returns in the built environment.

    Wallace predicts a total revolution where venture firms don’t just build tools, they become the industry players themselves. If you want to know where real estate and AI are colliding, this is the episode to watch.
