"The riches are in the niches" isn't just a catchy phrase – it's the cornerstone of successful real estate investing according to Alec McElhinny, founder and CEO of LandPlay. While most investors crowd into saturated multifamily markets, Alec has carved out extraordinary returns by focusing on two overlooked sectors: Flex Space and data center conversions. Flex Space developments serve blue-collar businesses like plumbers, HVAC technicians, and electrical contractors – recession-proof companies generating millions in revenue while needing minimal square footage. These smaller bay sizes (1,500-12,000 sq ft) command premium rental rates per square foot while offering tenants precisely what they need. The beauty of this model? Less competition, easier approvals, lower construction costs, and higher returns than traditional commercial real estate. Alec's current project exemplifies strategic positioning. Located in New Braunfels – the fastest-growing city in Texas within the fastest-growing county in America – his development sits along I-35 with visibility to 150,000 daily vehicles. This corridor will welcome approximately 1.5 million new residents over the next decade, creating unprecedented demand for commercial space that serves essential businesses. For investors seeking even higher returns, Alec discusses data center conversions – particularly office buildings that can access 20-30 megawatts of power and need minimal structural modifications. With AI development accelerating and major tech companies relocating to business-friendly states like Texas, these conversions can potentially double or triple investments within just a few years. What separates successful developers from the crowd? Alec credits rigorous due diligence: "Development due diligence is like solving a mystery – how come nobody's bought this yet and built what I want to build here?" Understanding water access, zoning restrictions, and lease-up potential often reveals why seemingly perfect properties remain undeveloped. Whether you're an accredited investor seeking higher returns or a developer looking for your next opportunity, this episode delivers actionable insights into tomorrow's most profitable real estate niches.  -----Learn more about Alec's real estate projects at https://land-play.com/ To learn more about Jonathan's recession resilient mobile home park real estate Fund & Flex Space Development investments for Accredited Investors: https://www.midwestparkcapital.com/ To learn more about Jonathan's business growth consulting and fractional CMO services, and digital marketing for small businesses: https://www.revenueascend.com/consulting/ The Family Office Club was founded in 2007 and has now become the world's largest association in the industry with over 7,500 registered ultra-wealthy investors-Richard C.

Kevin Harrington takes us on a thrilling journey from his early days as the pioneer of the infomercial industry to becoming a powerhouse investor and Shark Tank celebrity. With remarkable candor, he reveals how acquiring unused cable television time in the 1980s launched his career and led to building multiple public companies and completing over 1,000 business transactions. The true magic of Harrington's success lies in his ability to adapt to changing market conditions. When he noticed television viewership declining as younger generations flocked to TikTok and Instagram, he pivoted away from his As Seen On TV empire toward digital marketing strategies. This foresight led to one of his most spectacular investments—Celsius energy drink—which he joined as a board member when shares were just $0.10, helping build it into a $20 billion company without spending a single dollar on television advertising.
