TBT: Ask Marco - Residential vs Non-Residential Market Drivers
Click Here for the Show Notes
In this episode, Marco breaks down a great question from Samantha about the non-residential (aka commercial) real estate market. While the residential side gets a lot of attention, commercial real estate plays by different rules — and it's all about yield, business confidence, and occupancy rates.
Want to know how to spot a smart investment? Or what signs point to a strong (or weak) market? Marco lays it all out — plus how residential and commercial overlap and where they differ most.
👉 Whether you're an investor, a curious homebuyer, or just diving into real estate trends, this episode will give you a clearer understanding of how the market really works.

How Lenders Get the Short End of the Stick
Click Here for the Show Notes
In this episode, the conversation centers around the strategic use of leverage in real estate investing, particularly when navigating a 1031 exchange. Many investors express concerns about taking on debt, but the discussion highlights how properly structured leverage can actually enhance returns, accelerate portfolio growth, and maximize the use of available capital. The episode explains how leveraging properties allows investors to spread funds across multiple assets, creating greater opportunities for appreciation, cash flow, and long-term wealth — all while tenants effectively pay down the loans. It also sheds light on how inflation plays to the investor’s advantage over time and why lenders, surprisingly, often get the weaker end of the deal. The importance of working with knowledgeable lending partners who act as strategic consultants — not just rate providers — is emphasized as a critical part of building a sustainable, profitable real estate business.
If you're ready to rethink how you use debt and want to learn how to grow your portfolio with confidence, tune in now and take the next step toward smarter, more powerful investing.
