Skip the Sunbelt: Why "Micropolitan" Multifamily Markets are Unbeatable w/Cory Jacobson

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 managed a light renovation, walking away with a six-figure profit—three times his salary. That was it. For Cory, it was time to go all in. Now, he's putting his money into medium-sized multifamily investments (5-30 units) in "untapped" micropolitan markets and sharing his lessons on the Wealth Juice podcast. We talk about the perfect partnerships that have helped him scale at light speed, the day the "worst thing that could have happened" came true, and the actual markets he's currently investing in. Insights from today's episode: Why "micropolitan" multifamily markets beat top investing areas like the Sunbelt The single-best first investment a real estate investor should make (even on low income) Real estate partnership splits and how to find a partner who offsets your weaknesses Never sell? Our biggest regrets when it comes to owning investment properties How to deal with the (inevitable) challenges of real estate investing (burned down and flooded rentals) The real point of wealth—are you getting rich just to get bored? — Connect with Cory on LinkedIn Wealth Juice Podcast Wealth Juice Instagram Are you a high-net-worth investor with capital to deploy in the next 12 months?

The Opportunity You've Never Heard of in CRE ("IOS" Real Estate)

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. _______ Connect with Jake on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jake-guso-16bb167a/ Rig Hut: https://www.therighut.com/ Rig Hut Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100084019464551 Rig Hut Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therighut Rig Hut TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@righuttruckparking Rig Hut X/Twitter: https://x.com/truckpark_king Sunrise Capital Case Studies: https://sunrisecapitalinvestors.com/case-studies/ 💰 _Join the club!_ If you're a high-net-worth investor with capital to deploy in the next 12 months and you want to build passive income and wealth with a trusted partner, go to https://InvestWithKB.com for opportunities to invest in real estate projects alongside Kevin and his team. 📖 _Looking for the ultimate guide to passive investing?_ Grab a copy of my latest book, _The Cash Flow Investor_ : https://kevinbupp.com/the-cash-flow-investor/ 🎧_Tap into a wealth of free information on Commercial Real Estate Investing_ Listen to past podcast episodes: https://kevinbupp.com/Podcast/ Chapters: 00:00 Intro 03:01 The 11-to-1 Statistic 06:57 Who Can Do This? 09:58 Scaling in a "Blue Ocean" Market 12:01 Massively Overlooked Opportunity? 16:33 Six-Figure Revenue Jump Overnight 20:57 Software Costs and Pricing 22:01 Long-Term Plans 23:57 How to Get Started with Truck Parking 30:30 Connect with Jake!

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

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 stepped in to manage (and buy) foreclosed properties that were barely staying afloat. Through 20 years of multifamily experience, he's pinpointed the most overlooked markets in the country, how to dodge rent control and get your own city government to actively fight against it, and the #1 mistake you can make when screening tenants. He's sharing it all, plus his key multifamily metric, in this episode. Insights from today's episode: The one screening metric Joe uses to determine if a multifamily investment is worth it What to do when one of your tenants turns your building into a rave venue An underrated area of the country that multifamily investors shouldn't ignore A sign that you're managing your portfolio inefficiently (and it could cost you) Why Joe's team is moving into new development for even greater returns — Connect with Joe on LinkedIn East Superior Real Estate Partners Are you a high-net-worth investor with capital to deploy in the next 12 months?
