The Loubarri Real Estate Podcast

Now, I want you to really let that phrase sit for a second — Word is Bond. Because in a world full of talkers… full of people who say one thing and do another… being someone whose word actually means something is rare.

Today’s episode… this one’s for the people who’ve been burned. The ones who put in effort, who believed in a deal, a partner, or a plan — only to have it blow up in their face. Yeah, this one’s for you.

When the money fades… when the markets shift… when the crowd moves on — what’s left? It’s not the units you own, not the returns you promised, and not even the accolades you’ve earned. What remains — is you . Your character. Because in this business, your reputation arrives before you do… and stays long after you’ve left the room.

“Standing on the Shoulders of Giants: Why Listening to Experienced Investors Changes the Game”

Today, I want to talk about something we all face — loss, setbacks, and that heavy, almost soul-crushing pain that comes when a deal slips through your fingers… or when life just doesn’t go the way you hoped.

Today we’re going to talk about something that’s rarely discussed but absolutely critical if you want longevity and peace in this business: detaching from the outcome of a deal and learning to enjoy the journey.

We’re going to dive into what happens when you lose a deal—and why walking away early can actually save you from sinking deeper into what I like to call “real estate quicksand.”

Today’s episode is about something that doesn’t show up in your spreadsheets, but it may be the single biggest factor in whether you succeed or fail in this business: relationships. Specifically, we’re going to dive into why keeping strong relationships with brokers and business partners is critical to your long-term success.

Today we’re going to talk about something a little different, but extremely powerful: the Purple Cow. Stick with me, because this concept will completely shift the way you think about finding deals and bringing opportunities to your investors.

Today’s episode is going to lean more into the mindset side of things. Because let’s be honest—your skill set, your knowledge, even your deal flow… none of it matters if you don’t know your worth and if you’re not showing up as the best version of yourself every single day.

Today, I want to dig into why your first deal is the most important deal you’ll ever do… how it acts like a domino that knocks over every other obstacle in your way… and exactly what you need to focus on to make it happen.

The delicate balance between being patient and being proactive. How do you trust the process while still making moves? How do you wait... without wasting time? Let’s break it down.

Today we’re talking about something that just made a comeback and has investors everywhere raising their glasses. 100% Bonus Depreciation.

I want to touch on something we don’t talk about nearly enough in this business: mental health — and how it affects us as investors, entrepreneurs, leaders, and human beings.

I live in an apartment. Yeah, you heard that right. I’m a real estate investor who chooses to live in a multifamily apartment—and today, I want to tell you why that decision isn’t just intentional… it's strategic. And more importantly, I want to explain how it actually makes me a better investor for the people I serve, the communities I invest in, and the partners I work with.

When you think of investing, most people think spreadsheets, meetings, underwriting deals, cold emails, and due diligence calls. And yeah—we do all that. But that can’t be the only gear you’re in. Because here’s the truth: If you’re not enjoying the ride… you’ll eventually hit burnout. And burnout doesn’t build empires. Fun is fuel.

We’re going to talk about something that doesn’t get enough attention in this business. Something that’s just as important as raising capital, building your team, or finding that next off-market gem. Knowing when to walk away from a deal.

At some point, you’ve got to step away from the numbers and into the field . You’ve got to get out from behind the laptop and into the property. I’m talking about site visits, property tours, walking units, talking to the property management team, checking out the neighborhood, and—most importantly—building rapport.

Today’s episode is all about something every investor —no matter how experienced—needs to master: where to get information related to real estate and, more importantly, how to tell if you're being misinformed.

The Know, Like, and Trust Factor , also known as KLT . Whether you're raising capital, trying to get deals from brokers, or simply networking with other investors, this concept is one of your most powerful tools. So if you’re ready to take your communication, reputation, and relationship-building skills to the next level—stick around.

We’re talking about mistakes — the ones I’ve made, the ones I’ve seen others make, and more importantly, the priceless lessons that came from them. Because let’s be honest — success leaves clues, but so do mistakes. And if you can learn from someone else’s scars instead of earning your own? You'll move way faster in this game."

It’s about you. Specifically – how the way you do business reflects who you are… and sets the standard for every deal, every relationship, and every opportunity that comes after. So whether you're just getting started or you're scaling fast, this is a message that matters. Let’s dive in.

Today, we’re talking about celebration . That’s right— enjoying your wins , soaking in the moment, and learning how to celebrate yourself after you’ve put in the grind, the hustle, and the long nights. Because let’s be real—if we’re not enjoying the fruits of our labor, then what are we really doing this for?

We’re talking about the importance of continuing your education —why you should aim to be a lifelong student , how that mindset separates top performers from everyone else, and how learning in areas outside of real estate can actually enhance your investing game.

Today’s episode is all about a topic that gets every investor excited—paying $0 in taxes! Yes, you heard that right. Multifamily real estate comes with some of the most powerful tax benefits available, and if you know how to use them strategically, you can legally minimize—sometimes even eliminate—your tax burden while growing your wealth.
