Description

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2341567/fan_mail/new] How do you know when it’s time to sell a performing 4-unit property and move into a larger apartment building? In this video, Juan Huizar breaks down a real investment example: a $200,000 initial investment that grew to $572,000 in six years through strategic multifamily ownership, then explains why he chose to sell a stabilized fourplex and move into a 10-unit property instead. Juan walks through the exact numbers investors should analyze before making a move: price per unit, price per square foot, GRM, cap rate, equity growth, and future upside. If you currently own a duplex, triplex, fourplex, or apartment building and are wondering whether your equity is working hard enough, this episode shows how experienced investors think about scaling. This channel is built to educate, inspire, and empower multifamily investors through real examples, local market knowledge, and practical strategies. 👉 Watch the YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XCj4MRnM90 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XCj4MRnM90] Juan is a Licensed California Real Estate Broker that has acquired his Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) designation and a Real Estate Investor who is dedicated to helping people build wealth and financial independence through real estate investing.

#79 Long Beach Apartments Are on the CLEARANCE Rack Right Now (Here's the Data)

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2341567/fan_mail/new] For the first time in my 20+ years doing this, I'm telling investors to stop what they're doing and pay attention. Cap rates are up, gross rent multipliers are down, and roughly 30% of 5+ unit buildings in Long Beach are trading for less than they sold five years ago. I just bought an 8-unit and a 10-unit in the last eight months — and in this video I break down exactly why the discounts are showing up on five units and above, not on fourplexes, duplexes, or single-family homes.

#78 Mortgage Rates 2026: Why Waiting Is Costing You Money

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2341567/fan_mail/new] Everyone's been waiting for interest rates to drop. They didn't — at least not the way most people expected. But here's what's interesting: buyers are coming off the bench anyway, transactions are happening, and the people who waited 24 months are now watching prices climb past where they could have bought.

#77 The Long Beach 5+ Unit Market Just CRASHED — Here's What $1M Buys You in 2026

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2341567/fan_mail/new] The 5+ unit apartment market in Long Beach has crashed — and for the first time in years, investors are buying at REAL discounts. Sellers who bought in 2021 are losing $500K to $1M+ on their exits. Banks are taking hits. And smart investors? They're loading up. In this episode, Cody and I break down 4 real Long Beach apartment buildings (19 units, 12+ADU, 21 studios, and a 20-unit short sale) and show you exactly what $1,000,000 down gets you in today's market — cap rates, debt coverage ratios, cash flow projections, and the special 5.1% loan program most investors don't know about. If you've been waiting for the right time to get into multifamily, this is it. The clearance rack is open.

#76 Long Beach Fourplex Sales JUMPED 70% in 2025

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2341567/fan_mail/new] Long Beach fourplex sales jumped 70% in 2025 — but average prices held steady at $1.4M. In this market update, I break down exactly what happened, why buyers came off the sidelines, and what it means whether you're looking to buy, sell, or scale your portfolio. As the only brokerage in Long Beach that exclusively tracks fourplex sales, Sage Real Estate is your source for the most accurate multifamily data in the city. Long Beach has roughly 2,800 fourplexes — more than any other Southern California city — and we analyze every single sale. In this podcast, I cover the average sales price, days on market, price per door, price per square foot, cap rates, gross rent multipliers, and segment the market into premium, mid-tier, and value tiers so you know exactly where your property fits. If you own a fourplex, triplex, duplex, investment condo, or investment house — and you're still in the scaling game — this might be the best time to trade up into an 8 or 10-unit building. I'll show you exactly how I'm doing it in upcoming podcasts.
