This episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show is about debt. But surprisingly, this show is not about money. Instead it’s about a concept called “Primal debt.” Not prime debt, not primordial debt, not sub-prime loans, but a different kind of debt. This is the debt that you owe to your ancestors, to the people around you today, and to your future descendants. The debt is paid by living your best life. You owe it to them, all of them, to live the best life you can. You have to appreciate the sacrifices that your ancestors made to give you the life you have today. You owe it to the people around you today to provide them with the best life you can. And you owe it to your children and future grandchildren and so on, to provide the best foundation so they can live their best lives. Watch this episode to learn about a new way to think about your life.

In this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, Trot and I discuss a topic many might find unconventional: addiction. At first glance, the word conjures up negative images, like drug addicts or gamblers. However, I wanted to shed light on how, when directed correctly, addiction can be a potent force driving us toward our aspirations. I use the example of starting every day with a cup of coffee. This daily habit, which some might label as a caffeine addiction, is my way of kickstarting the day, and setting a productive tone. It’s not about the caffeine per se, but the routine and the momentum it gives me. I wanted our viewers to rethink the concept of addiction and recognize that certain habits, when approached positively, can be instrumental in our journey of personal and professional evolution.

This episode will give you some of the most important lessons you need to know before you hire any friends or family for your multifamily investment company.

In the latest episode of The Heartland Multifamily Show, Darren Garmin and Trot delve into the intricacies of multifamily real estate investments, emphasizing the importance of “connecting the dots” to gain a comprehensive understanding of the market. Recorded in August 2023, the duo highlights the significant changes in the market, noting that interest rates have more than doubled within the last year. This surge in rates, combined with challenges in raising rents and increasing inflationary expenses, has led to a general decrease in the value of multifamily properties compared to the previous year. The episode offers valuable insights for investors looking to navigate the evolving landscape of multifamily real estate.
Welcome to the Heartland Multifamily Show. In this episode, Trot and I discuss the current interest rates. We recorded this episode in late August 2023, when the interest rates are at their highest since 2001, with 30-year mortgages exceeding 7%. What’s more, I fully expect, given my years of experience, that interest rates will hit 10% in the near future.
Over the past few months, I’ve been asked about where these rates might be headed and how they might impact real estate investments. Trot and I delve deep into the topic, and I emphasize that regardless of where interest rates stand, there’s always an opportunity to buy real estate. It’s all about finding the right deals and ensuring the numbers make sense. Regardless of the interest rate environment, I’ve bought properties, and it’s all about the math and making informed decisions.
