When markets become uncertain, most investors retreat. The smartest investors start paying attention. In this episode of Keeping It Real Estate, Dan Brisse explains why economic chaos often creates the best opportunities in multifamily real estate. He breaks down how rising interest rates, tighter lending conditions, distressed sellers, and market volatility are reshaping the investment landscape—and why institutional investors often become more aggressive during these periods. Dan discusses the difference between volatility and permanent loss, the dangers of overleveraged debt, and the costly mistakes many investors made during the low-interest-rate boom. He also shares why disciplined underwriting, fixed-rate debt, strong market fundamentals, and patient capital are critical for navigating challenging market cycles. You'll learn how wealth transfers during liquidity crises, why many distressed properties are suffering from debt problems rather than operational problems, and how experienced investors position themselves to capitalize on opportunities while others remain frozen by fear.

Episode 211 - Why Economic Chaos Creates Massive Real Estate Opportunity

When markets get uncomfortable, most investors panic—but experienced investors start paying closer attention. In this episode of Keeping It Real Estate, Dan Brisse breaks down why periods of economic uncertainty often create the greatest opportunities in multifamily real estate.

He also shares why volatility is not the same as permanent loss, and how disciplined investors use these periods to position themselves for long-term wealth creation. You'll learn why liquidity matters, how institutional investors think during downturns, and what smart operators are doing right now to take advantage of the current cycle. From debt strategy to conservative underwriting and market selection, this episode highlights what separates investors who survive from those who scale.

Episode 210 - The 2026 Real Estate Opportunity Explained

The real estate market is shifting and with it comes one of the most unique buying opportunities in years. In this episode of Keeping It Real Estate, Dan Brisse shares a full breakdown of today's market and why 2026 may represent one of the most opportunistic windows for investors. Drawing from years of experience and hundreds of millions in assets under management, he explains what's really happening beneath the surface. Dan dives into the two biggest drivers of real estate success: timing and location. He explains how the market cycle from the 2020–2021 peak to the current wave of distress has created discounted buying opportunities, and why many properties are now being sold below previous purchase prices. He also unpacks how the surge of new supply in 2023–2025 impacted rents and vacancies, and why the sharp slowdown in construction is setting the stage for future rent growth. With fewer new units coming online and continued population growth in key markets, conditions are aligning for the next phase of the cycle.
