    258: Helping Investors Build Wealth Through Multifamily Real Estate with Andrew Cushman
    2025/07/10
    In today’s episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan interviews Andrew Cushman, founder of Vantage Point Acquisitions, to explore the evolution of his investing career and how he helps others build wealth through multifamily real estate. After leaving a stable career in chemical engineering in 2007, Andrew made a bold leap into house flipping and eventually multifamily investing, where he has now syndicated or repositioned over 3,000 units. Andrew explains why flipping quickly became unsustainable for him and his wife, and how they transitioned into multifamily with the help of a mentor. His first apartment deal was a 92-unit building, and although it was far from easy, that launch laid the groundwork for the portfolio and investor network he manages today. With an approach rooted in long-term thinking, strategic geographic focus, and patient underwriting, Andrew shares how his firm continues to navigate uncertain markets without sacrificing performance or investor trust. Jonathan and Andrew cover factors in evaluating multifamily deals, like tenant demographics, hold timelines, and operator experience, and why many of the syndication struggles happening now can be traced to poor management and unrealistic expectations. They discuss the importance of investor education, the illusion of passive income, and the mindset shifts that make syndications work. This conversation underscores the importance of a disciplined approach to underwriting, market selection, and investor relations in driving sustainable growth, even during unpredictable economic cycles. For anyone considering multifamily investing, whether actively or passively, Andrew offers a realistic and clear-headed perspective on what it takes to succeed. In this episode, you will hear: Andrew’s path from chemical engineer to multifamily operator Lessons from scaling a portfolio beyond 3,000 units The value of mentorship in launching a real estate career What separates reliable operators from risky ones Ways investor communication supports long-term trust Red flags that emerged in syndications post-2020 How regional focus contributes to stronger performance Follow and Review: We’d love for you to follow us if you haven’t yet.

  • 257: Creating Risk-Adjusted, Tax-Advantaged Returns Through Real Estate with Austin Masket

    257: Creating Risk-Adjusted, Tax-Advantaged Returns Through Real Estate with Austin Masket
    2025/07/07
    In today’s episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan sits down with Austin Masket, founder and Chief Investment Officer of Riverly Capital. With a background as a commercial broker and portfolio manager for a family office, Austin brings a seasoned and data-driven approach to multifamily investing and distressed debt acquisition. His firm focuses on creating risk-adjusted, tax-advantaged returns in key U.S. markets like Denver, Atlanta, and Phoenix. Austin’s early exposure to real estate came from his family, but his professional foundation was shaped at Marcus & Millichap. That experience gave him direct access to institutional-level underwriting, which later informed his strategy as a portfolio manager. Now at Riverly Capital, he specializes in acquiring multifamily assets and distressed debt with a sharp eye on entry point, tenant demographics, and economic cycles. Jonathan and Austin break down how missteps in the last economic cycle, especially during the COVID-era boom, created today’s distressed opportunities. They discuss the mismatch between cap rates and interest rates, why overleveraged syndications are struggling, and how Austin’s team identifies assets with true upside. Austin explains how Riverly uses deal-by-deal capital raising to maintain discipline, and why chasing volume can lead to trouble. The episode also explores Austin’s outlook for the next market cycle. He walks through supply and demand imbalances, the coming drop in new construction deliveries, and how strategic acquisition of non-performing debt offers a short-term window for experienced investors. For those focused on buying right and building durable returns, this conversation highlights the benefits of in-depth analysis, patient capital, and understanding where the market is headed, not just where it has been. In this episode, you will hear: Lessons Austin Masket carried over from brokerage into asset management The mechanics behind acquiring and working out distressed debt How overleveraged deals from the COVID boom are unraveling The appeal of Class B and C multifamily assets in today’s market Entry strategies that favor strong tenant bases and proven demand Why patient capital and disciplined underwriting lead to stronger returns What makes debt acquisition a strategic move in a tightening cycle Follow and Review: We’d love for you to follow us if you haven’t yet.

  • 256: How To Maximize Multifamily Net Operating Income Using Onsite Solar with Owen Barrett

    256: How To Maximize Multifamily Net Operating Income Using Onsite Solar with Owen Barrett
    2025/07/03

    In this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan speaks with Owen Barrett, founder and CEO of Shine, a solar company built by apartment owners for apartment owners. With a background in finance and clean energy, Owen brings a pragmatic and results-driven mindset to a traditionally misunderstood corner of multifamily investing—onsite solar energy.

    Owen shares how his first exposure to real estate came after achieving financial independence through his solar ventures. Instead of starting small, he jumped into a 64-unit building, testing how large-scale solar could be layered into multifamily investment. That experience, although imperfect, helped shape Shine’s business model: targeting properties with 100+ units where solar not only benefits the environment but also boosts returns.

    Jonathan and Owen examine the financial mechanics of solar energy in multifamily properties, from cost segregation and tax credits to NOI increases and tenant retention. Owen explains how Shine’s proprietary software allows solar installations to serve individually metered units, a longstanding challenge in the space. He also breaks down how syndicators and institutional investors approach solar differently, and why understanding your audience is key when pitching value-add improvements.

    Owen emphasizes that solar is not about selling environmental benefits. It’s about improving the bottom line. But the secondary benefits, such as tenant retention, lower utility inflation, and greater resilience during energy volatility, add long-term value. For syndicators and operators seeking to future-proof their assets, this conversation is packed with strategic thinking, cost-saving tactics, and clear-eyed lessons from someone who installs what he owns.

    In this episode, you will hear:

    • How Owen Barrett transitioned from solar to multifamily real estate

    • Using solar to increase NOI and attract investors

    • Cost segregation, tax credits, and depreciation benefits

    • Why roof condition is a make-or-break factor for installations

    • The difference in decision-making between syndicators and institutions

    • Leveraging solar to reduce tenant utility costs and turnover

    • The reason early due diligence makes or breaks solar ROI
