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.

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.

#74 We Made $1M in 8 Months… Should We Sell or Keep Our Laundromat?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2341567/fan_mail/new] We took a completely run-down commercial building and turned it into a fully remodeled laundromat from the ground up. After 8 months, over $1.25M invested, and multiple delays with the city… we’re finally ready to open. But now comes the real question: Do we keep it and potentially make $10K/month… or sell it for a $1M profit? In this podcast, we break down: - Total project cost vs potential sale price - Real laundromat income projections (conservative vs aggressive) - Why “passive income” might not be so passive - The real workload behind owning a laundromat - How we’re thinking about reinvesting through a 1031 exchange This is the reality of building a business vs flipping for profit—and the decision isn’t as obvious as you might think.
