Half a Century of Brokerage – Carl Muhlstein on the Evolution of Los Angeles Real Estate

After nearly 50 years in commercial real estate, Carl Muhlstein has seen Los Angeles transform—and the brokerage business transform with it. Carl joins The Kirsh Connection to discuss why he still loves the real estate business after five decades, whether technology is helping or hurting the development of the next generation of brokers, and the dramatic decline of Downtown Los Angeles from the city’s longtime business center. We also discuss the changing entertainment industry, the consolidation of major studios, and what the Paramount/Warner Bros. combination could mean for Los Angeles real estate. It’s a conversation about what has changed, what hasn’t, and what five decades in the business can teach the next generation of real estate professionals. We discuss: 50 Years Later, He Still Loves the Real Estate Business -- After nearly half a century in brokerage, Carl Muhlstein explains what keeps him excited about real estate. Is Technology Making Young Brokers Better—or Holding Them Back? -- Carl discusses whether technology is accelerating young brokers’ careers—or preventing them from developing the skills that made earlier generations successful. What Happened to Downtown Los Angeles? -- Downtown LA was once the undisputed power center of the city. Carl explains how it got there—and what the exodus of major global companies means for its future. Hollywood Consolidation Is a Real Estate Story -- Carl discusses the transformation of the entertainment industry and what the Paramount/Warner Bros. combination could mean for Los Angeles real estate.

Finding Opportunity in Niche Real Estate with Amachie Ackah of Clay Cove Capital

On this episode of The Kirsh Connection , I sit down with Amachie Ackah, Co-Founder of Clay Cove Capital, to discuss how his firm identifies investment opportunities at the intersection of private equity, operating businesses and real estate. We discuss why Clay Cove focuses on growing niche sectors such as art storage, early childhood education andalternative hospitality; why they prefer building platforms rather than making one-off investments; how they encourage operating partners to own their real estate and turn a liability into an asset; and how they identify operating leverage that can drive value across a platform. A great conversation about looking beyond traditional realestate asset classes to find opportunities others may be overlooking. We discuss: Finding Growth in Overlooked Real Estate Niches - Whereare the next interesting real estate opportunities? Amachie explains why Clay Cove is following the growth of businesses like art storage, early childhood education and alternative hospitality—and the real estate opportunities thatcome with them. Why Invest in Platforms, Not Just Properties? - Clay Cove isn't simply looking for individual real estate investments. Amachie explains why they prefer investing behind operating platforms and how that approach can create opportunities to scale. Turn Your Rent Into an Asset - If an operating business is going to occupy real estate for years, why keep paying someone else rent? Amachie explains why Clay Cove encourages its operating partners to purchase their real estate—turning a long-term liability into an asset. Finding Operating Leverage - Buying assets is only part of the equation. Amachie discusses how Clay Cove looks for operating leverage within its investments and how improvements at the platform level can drive value acrossthe business.

From $200/SF to $800/SF: How Jofa Capital Finds Value Where Others Aren’t Looking w/Jackson Brissette and Brian Novak

From $200/SF to $800/SF: How Jofa Capital Finds Value Where Others Aren’t Looking featuring Jackson Brissette and Brian Novak Jackson Brissette and Brian Novak join The Kirsh Connection to break down Jofa Capital’s investment strategy through the lens of their Hawthorne airplane hangar deal. We discuss why they pursue complicated transactions, the importance of maintaining optionality, and how they turned a purchase at under $200 per square foot into a sale at more than $800 per square foot just three years later. We also discuss why finding great deals is harder than finding capital, the advantage of “fishing” where others aren’t, and why mission-critical real estate in the South Bay is benefiting from the growth ofadvanced manufacturing. We discuss: Going from under $200/SF to over $800/SF in three years -- Jofa Capital gravitates toward complicated deals where there are multiple potential paths to create value. Jackson and Brian explain why optionality is so important to their investment strategy—and how that approach helped turn their Hawthorne acquisition at under $200 per square foot into a sale at more than $800 per square foot just three years later. Fish Where Others Aren’t Fishing -- How do you find attractive opportunities when everyone is chasing the same deals? Jackson and Brian explain Jofa Capital’s philosophy of “fishing in an area of the lake where others are not” and why looking where there is less competition can create an investment advantage. Good Deals Are Harder to Find Than Capital -- There is plenty of capital looking for a home—but far fewer great deals. Jackson and Brian discuss why sourcing compelling opportunities has become harder than raising capital and why the ability to identify the right investment is increasingly valuable. Mission-Critical Real Estate in the Heart of Advanced Manufacturing -- The Hawthorne airplane hangar wasn’t just another industrial property. Jackson and Brian explain why its location in the South Bay—the epicenter of Southern California’s advanced manufacturing and aerospace ecosystem—made the property mission-critical real estate.

Contrarian Apartment Investing: Why Advanced Real Estate Is Betting Big on Southern California

Contrarian Apartment Investing: Why Advanced Real Estate Is Betting Big on Southern California , my conversation with Paul Julian, President of Advanced Real Estate In this episode, Paul Julian shares why Advanced Real Estatehas built one of Southern California's premier multifamily platforms by taking a long-term, often contrarian approach to investing. We discuss: Why Advanced Real Estate built its own 50,000-square-foot manufacturing facility to produce HVAC systems, cabinetry, plumbing components, carpentry, and other materials—and how that vertical integration creates a competitive advantage. Why Advanced invests exclusively in Southern California , and why Paul believes the region continues to offer the best long-term fundamentals. Why Paul made a bold $200 million bet on a Class A Hollywood apartment community at a time when many institutional investors were pulling back from Los Angeles. Why higher interest rates create buying opportunities for disciplined, never sell apartment investors rather than reasons to sit on the sidelines. How Advanced's X Fund allows owners of land, single-family homes, smaller apartment buildings and other assets to contribute their properties and ultimately exchange into a diversified institutional-quality multifamily fund.
