Real Estate Investing for Cash Flow with Kevin Bupp

The fear of failure stops many from ever getting into real estate. But what if it’s the failures that actually make you wealthy? Today’s guest woke up in his 30s, broke and burned out, having traded years of his life for a business that went belly up. What looked like a failure to everyone else was the start of a multimillion-dollar business empire for Joe Downs. Joe has invested in it all—rental properties, flips, self-storage, mortgage notes, industrial warehouses, and more—but his newest obsession is one much of the market knows nothing about: pro storage. This new wave of...

Skip the Sunbelt: Why “Micropolitan” Multifamily Markets are Unbeatable w/Cory Jacobson show art Skip the Sunbelt: Why “Micropolitan” Multifamily Markets are Unbeatable w/Cory Jacobson

Real Estate Investing for Cash Flow with Kevin Bupp

While most operators chase the Sunbelt states, one overlooked market type is making small- and mid-sized multifamily investors wealthier. It’s got near-zero vacancy, with strong employment anchors, and durable cash flow thanks to consistent demand. They’re not big cities; instead, they’re what today’s guest calls “micropolitan” areas—top multifamily markets even the most experienced investors overlook. While making just $35,000 per year, Cory Jacobson made the best move a small investor can make—he bought a house, rented out the rooms, and lived for free. On his second deal, he...

Real Estate Investing for Cash Flow with Kevin Bupp

This could be one of the, if not the, most under realized opportunities in commercial real estate. It’s a blue ocean market operating in a boring business space that most investors (and service providers) are completely overlooking. But, Jake Guso tapped into what no other real estate investor knew about industrial outdoor storage management, specifically truck parking lot businesses. These mom-and-pop shops are running almost entirely on handwritten notes and Zelle payments and it’s an absolute mess for owners and their accountants. After managing multiple truck parking lot businesses...

The Most Underrated Metric in Multifamily (Not Cap Rate/Cash Flow) w/Joe Root show art The Most Underrated Metric in Multifamily (Not Cap Rate/Cash Flow) w/Joe Root

Real Estate Investing for Cash Flow with Kevin Bupp

One key metric could tell you immediately whether a multifamily real estate investment is worth buying—but most people ignore it. It’s not cash flow, it’s not cap rate, and it’s probably something you’ve overlooked dozens of times. Joe Root helped grow his family’s multifamily portfolio and manages over 100 properties using this metric. Joe left the glitz of a corporate Wall Street career when he realized his family’s apartment portfolio was better than the big city life. Multifamily management quickly became his new obsession. During the Great Financial Crisis of 2008, Joe...

This could be one of the, if not the, most under realized opportunities in commercial real estate. It’s a blue ocean market operating in a boring business space that most investors (and service providers) are completely overlooking. But, Jake Guso tapped into what no other real estate investor knew about industrial outdoor storage management, specifically truck parking lot businesses.

These mom-and-pop shops are running almost entirely on handwritten notes and Zelle payments and it’s an absolute mess for owners and their accountants. After managing multiple truck parking lot businesses himself, Jake built Rig Hut, the software platform that turns dirt lots into cash flow. So much so that, in one case study, Jake helped an owner increase his annual revenue by as much as six figures.

Today, I’m sitting down with Jake to talk about how Rig Hut is industrializing truck parking, how investors can get into the game themselves (and make serious money), the shocking “11-to-1” statistic that would make any investor excited, and how this forgotten asset class is only one of many in the CRE space. Plus, I’ll even share my exact strategy for finding deals like this in any area of the country.
