On today’s episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, I’m talking about “TRAIN.” If you want to be successful in multifamily investing, you need to be familiar with this acronym. Risk: There many investments that have a better return than multifamily, but they all involve much higher risk. Alignment: You need to have the right people around you. Who is right for you might be different than who is...

What do professional investors like me do that regular investors don’t? On this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, I’m going to tell you a story of how going to a restaurant in a small town crystallized for me what makes that difference.

In my decades of experience buying and selling multifamily real estate, I’ve seen just about every way money can bring tension into a relationship. And sometimes, that tension shows up right in my office. Divorce, large investments, and long-term financial decisions are emotional by nature. I’ve had divorced couples come in trying to unwind properties as part of a settlement. I’ve also seen couple...

Multifamily investing doesn’t fail because of bad deals. It fails because of bad property management. Today on the Heartland Multifamily Show, we break down why poor management is the fastest way to destroy profitable real estate investments.

On today’s episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, I’m going to show you how you can lower your taxes, and don’t worry, it’s completely legal. (Disclaimer: this is not legal or tax advice, this is only my lived experience.) I break down the short and long term ways you can lowe...

On this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, I explain what I call The Mamdani Effect. Zohran Mamdani, the recently elected mayor of New York City, has promised to bring down rent prices. While the intention may be political or social, the economic reality of real estate tells a different story. In multifamily investing, expenses rise over time. If rent growth is capped or restricted, the ma...

Today, we’re talking about AI on the Heartland Multifamily Show. Along with my guest, Isaiah, I talk about the pros and cons of AI. I am in favor of AI. It’s made my life easier, and I expect it will continue to do so in the future. I look forward to the day when computers can clean my house and do my dishes. But at the same time, there’s one thing that AI can never give you, and that's authentici...

On this episode of Ask Uncle Darin from the Heartland Multifamily Show, I answer a question I get asked a lot: Why is it always so hard to run a business/invest/achieve your dreams? The answer may surprise you, but it shouldn’t: It has to be hard. If you expect things to be easy in life, all you have to do is have an average life and never pursue your dreams. In this episode, I teach you how to ad...

Why would someone sell at a discount? In previous episodes of the Heartland Multifamily Show, I’ve talked about the importance of being skeptical if someone offers you a property at a discount. But there are many good reasons why a property owner is willing to leave money on the table in favor of a quick sale. The top four reasons are illness/death, being on the verge of repossession, not having t...

Are you one of those landlords who say, “There’s not enough time!”? If you’re a landlord, then the answer is yes. None of us have enough time. Today I’m going to give you a tip I heard directly from Patrick Bet-David on how to manage my time: Rate everything on your to-do list according to urgency and impact. Do the things that are rated highest on that list first, and you can put off, delegate, o...

Affordable housing. We all like to complain about how expensive things are, but at the Heartland Multifamily Show, I’m willing to tell you the hard truth. I’m not some activist by any means; my views come from decades of experience buying, selling, and managing millions of dollars of properties in America’s Heartland. And the hard truth is that affordable homes aren’t a question of money, it’s a q...

This episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show is a lot shorter than usual because I’m doing a reaction video. I’m reacting to Mark Shapiro, a real estate investor and influencer. (Not to be confused with Mark Shapiro of TKO or Mark Shapiro of Moneyball). Shapiro recently did a video making the claim that everything a woman does is meaningless to a man except being able to support him and grow wit...

  Welcome to another episode of Ask Uncle Darin on the Heartland Multifamily Show, where I offer folksy wisdom that comes from my decades of experience in investing, but also in life. Today, I’m talking about sales. Some people don’t like salespeople. Even some salespeople don’t like salespeople. And I don’t understand why, because sales make the world go ‘round. The best salespeople give you what...

The first is the signal and the noise....

  If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Everyone knows it, because it’s the truth. On this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, Isaiah and I discuss why any time you spot a great deal, you should be skeptical. It might be a great deal, but don’t get emotional; there’s a reason they’re offering it to you and not insiders like me. On this episode, I’ll explain how you should evaluat...

On this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, I’m talking about Festo #21: You are never as good as you think you are. You are never as bad as you think you are. And neither are they.

Watch this episode to hear our conv...

Robert Herjavec. Even if you don’t know (or can’t pronounce) his name, you recognize him from Shark Tank. He’s made hundreds of millions of dollars from his various entrepreneurial ventures and investments. In this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, I react to a clip of him talking about how he once always wanted just that much more - a faster car, then a jet, then a nicer jet - Until he f...
