Amanda Cruise and Ash Patel pull back the curtain on what they are actually building right now, including a 16-building office play, three bars, and a creative deal structure that saves nearly $300,000 in interest.

If you think you need a perfect market or a clean, conventional loan to make a deal work, this conversation will challenge that fast. They also break down how they are finding opportunities in overlooked assets, why a stranger business partner can sometimes be the smartest move, and how patient relationship-building can turn a "no" into a signed contract years later.

Richard McGirr talks to August Biniaz, Chief Investment Officer and co-founder of CPI Capital, who has spent the last six years building a real estate private equity firm while navigating the brutal realities of entrepreneurship, capital preservation, and cycle risk. He breaks down why Canada’s lower yields pushed him toward U.S. multifamily, why the current pricing reset has changed the opportunity set, and why the operators who survive this environment will be the ones who protect LPs first.

J Scott invites Andrew Cushman and Brian Burke to a conversation about why the market is currently a “traffic collision” at a four-way intersection, with some assets suffering 50-70% drops while others are barely dented. Andrew shares the importance of operational excellence and how savvy investors are capitalizing on distressed properties, even as the broader market remains uncertain. Brian emphasizes why cap rates and NOI are your true market thermometers and how understanding their movements is critical to navigating the current downturn. Both guests dive into the bifurcated reality of today’s multifamily landscape: safe, cash-flowing Class A assets are holding their value, while lower-end properties face extreme distress with vacancy rates soaring and delinquencies through the roof.

Ash and Amanda talk to Chris Duff as he shares the unusual path that took him from medicine, venture, and crypto into land, and why he ultimately shifted from flipping properties to funding other operators’ deals. He breaks down how his team structures transactions, why they prefer taking titles through equity instead of traditional hard money lending, and how that gives them control when a deal goes sideways.

Richard McGirr talks with Keith about scaling teams, paying for top-tier talent, and tightening internal controls so the business stays lean but not blind. He explains why self-storage has worked for him, why mobile home parks were attractive but hard to scale, and how his firm approaches 1031 exchange money, tenant-in-common structures, and investor communication in a tougher fundraising environment.

This episode matters because the old playbook no longer works. In a market where the gap between winners and losers keeps widening, operators who understand capital, patience, and asset quality have a major edge. Keith’s perspective is especially valuable if you are navigating a downturn, sitting on dry powder, or trying to decide whether to hold, sell, or move up in quality.
