  • 261: Building Family Offices To Invest and Protect Your Assets with Richard Wilson
    2025/07/21
    In today’s episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan welcomes Richard Wilson, founder and CEO of the Family Office Club, to break down how the ultra-wealthy build, protect, and grow their assets. With more than 100,000 members and 18 years at the helm, Richard has helped thousands of family offices form investment strategies that create generational wealth. The episode opens with a look at what sets billionaires apart from the rest of us, from their appetite for risk to how they move quickly and avoid herd thinking. Richard explains that the most successful investors make bold, independent decisions, act fast, and play a long game within a narrow set of skills or markets. Richard also shares the three-bucket model he teaches for wealth management: public market investments, real estate, and direct investments in the business niche that created the wealth. He walks through how families allocate risk across these buckets and why having asymmetric returns and trust in your operators is crucial. The conversation turns to why the most successful investors don’t chase pitches. They chase relationships. Family offices look for high-quality people, not just high-potential deals. Richard emphasizes that value-added connections, thoughtful deal structuring, and strong mental models are what win attention in a noisy space. He and Jonathan also discuss the importance of fast decision-making, the rise of AI tools to enhance due diligence, and how Richard’s journey from a basement apartment to launching billionaires.com reflects the same lessons he teaches investors: add value first, go deep in your niche, and build something no one else can replicate. In this episode, you will hear: Traits that distinguish billionaire investors from the average high-net-worth individual Ways family offices allocate capital across asset classes The role of trust and consistency in attracting investor interest How asymmetric returns and thoughtful deal structures build long-term wealth Richard’s approach to applying AI tools to improve decision-making Factors that make niche expertise more valuable than broad exposure How fast, focused action drives better outcomes in competitive markets Follow and Review: We’d love for you to follow us if you haven’t yet.

  • 260: Why The Biggest Threat To Housing is Government Interference with Mark Shuler
    2025/07/17
    In today’s episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan speaks with architect and multifamily syndicator Mark Shuler of SGRE Investments about how government regulation continues to hamper housing development across the country. With over 40 years of experience in architecture, urban infill, and multifamily project management, Mark brings a unique dual perspective that blends design expertise with investment strategy. Mark outlines the real-world consequences of permitting delays, inconsistent local regulations, and overreaching planning departments. From Seattle’s 16-month permit timelines to the thousands of dollars in pre-construction fees and reports required, Mark argues that many jurisdictions have made building housing a process only the wealthy can afford. He explains how regulations originally intended to promote equity and safety have often been weaponized by neighborhood groups and local politicians to block development altogether. The conversation also touches on Mark’s early passion for architecture, his transition into real estate investing, and the lessons he has learned from both fields. He discusses what separates smart flippers and operators from amateurs, and how investor capital is best deployed in value-add multifamily projects, especially in markets like Houston, where his firm now manages over 5,000 units. Mark’s take is clear: meaningful housing reform starts with streamlining regulation, not adding more layers. For real estate professionals, investors, and policymakers alike, this episode provides a frank look at what’s stalling housing production and how experienced operators can still build successfully in today’s environment. In this episode, you will hear: How excessive permitting timelines stall development The role of urban planners and their disconnect from real-world construction What developers face in highly regulated markets like Seattle Lessons from Mark’s pivot into real estate investing Common missteps flippers make with permitting and renovation The economics behind value-add multifamily projects How SGRE Investments creates scale and efficiency in competitive markets Follow and Review: We’d love for you to follow us if you haven’t yet.

  • 259: Thoughtfully Structured Alternative Investments Designed For Long-Term Success with Brad Johnson
    2025/07/14

    In today’s episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan sits down with Brad Johnson, co-founder and Chief Investment Officer of Vintage Capital. With over $3.3 billion in commercial real estate transactions under his belt, Brad brings a deep well of experience in structuring long-term, risk-adjusted investments, especially in the mobile home park space.

    Brad’s journey into real estate began in his twenties, when he and his friends started buying single-family rentals with profits from a startup. Over time, he transitioned from remote investing to institutional asset management, eventually discovering the opportunity-rich world of mobile home parks. What began as curiosity evolved into a nationwide operation of 2,300 pads.

    Brad and Jonathan explore what makes mobile home parks uniquely positioned for stable, long-term returns. They discuss the operational demands of the asset class, why infrastructure and capital reserves are essential, and how seller relationships shape acquisitions in this niche market. Brad emphasizes that these often-misunderstood communities fill a critical need in the affordable housing landscape.

    You’ll also hear how Brad built trust with mom-and-pop sellers, scaled a portfolio through reputation and consistent deal flow, and developed the ability to underwrite quickly and confidently. His firm’s approach to long-term holds, tax efficiency, and conservative underwriting stands in contrast to the high-leverage, short-term mindset that has tripped up many investors in recent years.

    Whether you're an experienced investor or exploring alternatives to traditional real estate assets, Brad’s perspective highlights the importance of patience, structure, and choosing the right operating partners.

    In this episode, you will hear:

    • Brad’s early path from startup founder to long-term investor

    • Lessons from managing over 2,000 mobile home park pads

    • How infrastructure and reserves impact mobile home park performance

    • Ways reputation and follow-through win deals in tight-knit markets

    • Why tax advantages make long-term holds more attractive

    • The pitfalls of chasing high IRRs with short-term strategies

    • What separates strong operators from struggling syndicators
