Logan Freeman went from the NFL to becoming one of the most influential voices in commercial real estate. In this episode of The Wealth Clock with Steven Weinstock, Logan shares how discipline, mindset, and consistent daily action helped him scale past 350 million in transactions across land development, multifamily, retail, and industrial assets.

Logan is a managing broker at Midwest CRE Advisors and the founder of LiveFree Investments.

He shares his strategy for building a powerful LinkedIn presence, why he aims for 100 meaningful conversations every month, and how investors can raise capital by becoming known in their market.

🎧 Episode 27 of The Wealth Clock with Steven Weinstock

In this episode I sit down with Chad Schieler, CEO of Focused Capital, to break down how he went from passive investor to full time operator and built a multifamily portfolio that has touched more than two thousand apartment units across the country. Chad explains how he started as an LP to understand deal structure, tax benefits, and operator quality before launching Focused Capital, where he now acquires and manages large apartment communities in Indiana and surrounding Midwest markets.

We talk about tax strategy, risk analysis, deal selection, agency debt, fixed rate financing, and why many investors get trapped chasing projections instead of learning how to judge the operator. If you want to become a sharper LP or GP, this conversation gives you a real inside look at what separates the top performers in multifamily investing. 🏢📊

🔥 What you will learn in this episode

• How Chad used real estate to reduce a major tax burden from his previous business  
• Why he began as an LP and why he still invests passively today to diversify his cash flow  
• The Focused Capital approach in Indiana and why he stays within a three hour radius for his own acquisitions  
• The truth about timing markets and why time often fixes the problems that scare new investors  
• How to think about risk as a muscle and why you will never have every answer before you buy  
• The biggest mistakes LPs make when they rely on IRR instead of evaluating the operator  
• How to look behind projections and question assumptions like rent growth, vacancy, and exit caps  
• What it is really like to close Fannie Mae loans for the first time and why the process is worth the effort  
• Why investors from California and the East coast move their capital to the Midwest  
• How regulation in markets like New York affects cash flow, operations, and long term strategy  

🏗 About Chad Schieler and Focused Capital

In his role as CEO, Chad leads the team in acquiring, funding, and managing real estate investment projects. His conservative approach and analytical skills help him evaluate risk, protect investor capital, and build strong long term partnerships.

In this episode of The Wealth Clock with Steven Weinstock, Steven sits down with Sirai Farah, co-founder of DeenVest Capital, to discuss a bold and unconventional approach to real estate investing — buying large multifamily properties entirely in cash, with no debt and no compromise.

Sirai shares her journey from dropping out of college and cold-calling homeowners to building a fund that raised over $7 million in its first seven weeks — all without leverage. Guided by faith and integrity, her fund aligns with Islamic finance principles that prohibit interest, offering investors a safer, values-based model with an 8% preferred return and 75/25 profit split.

Steven and Sirai explore:
- How faith can shape financial discipline and business strategy
- Why eliminating bank debt can actually reduce investor risk
- The mechanics of structuring all-cash multifamily acquisitions
- Lessons from raising capital directly through social media
- The growing demand for ethical, asset-backed investments
