  • 581: Dante Andrade on How Yesterday's Hottest Market Might Be Tomorrow's Biggest Opportunity

    581: Dante Andrade on How Yesterday's Hottest Market Might Be Tomorrow's Biggest Opportunity
    Oct 18 2026
    There's something fascinating about real estate cycles. In 2009, Las Vegas was practically synonymous with financial disaster. Home prices had collapsed, foreclosures were everywhere, and plenty of people thought the market might never recover. Phoenix wasn't much better. Florida had entire neighborhoods filled with vacant homes. Investors were running for the exits. Fast forward a decade, and some of those same markets had produced extraordinary returns for investors who bought when nobody else wanted to. The funny thing about markets is that the fundamentals often start improving long before the headlines do. And by the time everyone agrees that a market is hot again, much of the opportunity has already disappeared. I've been thinking about this a lot lately because of what we've experienced in Dallas. For years, Dallas was one of the hottest real estate markets in America. Population growth was exploding, businesses were relocating, rents were rising, and investors couldn't get enough of it. Then came the perfect storm. Too many apartments were built, interest rates skyrocketed, and property values fell dramatically. Some investors lost everything. Others, including us, have spent the last several years navigating a very difficult environment. But here's what's interesting. The things that made Dallas attractive in the first place haven't gone away. People are still moving there. Major corporations are still expanding. And after years of excessive apartment construction, the pipeline of new supply is finally shrinking. Sound familiar? It reminds me a lot of what happened in the aftermath of 2008. Not because the circumstances are identical—they certainly aren't—but because markets have a way of swinging from excessive optimism to excessive pessimism. And somewhere in that transition, opportunities emerge. In this week's Wealth Formula Podcast, I sit down with my longtime Dallas real estate partner, Dante Andrade, for a conversation about where we are in that cycle today. Dante has spent more than 15 years operating multifamily properties in Dallas. He's been through the boom, the bust, and now he's seeing some interesting changes on the ground that haven't necessarily made their way into the headlines. We also talk candidly about some of the mistakes made during the boom years, what separated the investors who survived from those who didn't, and why the next few years could look very different from the last few. I don't know exactly when the next great buying opportunity will arrive. Nobody does. But I do know that the best investment opportunities rarely feel comfortable when they're staring you in the face. That's what makes investing so difficult. And so interesting.

  • 580: If America needs housing, why are landlords cutting rents?

    580: If America needs housing, why are landlords cutting rents?
    Oct 11 2026
    America has a housing shortage. You've heard it in practically every real estate investment pitch. We haven't built enough homes. People need somewhere to live. Therefore, owning apartments should be a pretty good business. So why have apartment owners in some of the fastest-growing markets offered free rent just to get people through the door the last few years? Because a national housing shortage doesn't pay your mortgage. Your property needs tenants willing to pay your rent, in your market, right now. That distinction matters—especially when you're trying to figure out whether today's discounted real estate is an opportunity or a trap. On this week's Wealth Formula Podcast, I talk with Edward Pinto, former chief credit officer at Fannie Mae and co-director of the AEI Housing Center. Ed challenges several assumptions that investors—and policymakers—take for granted. Among them: whether government-funded "affordable housing" actually adds housing, and why your apartment building's biggest competitor might be a single-family rental down the street. We also discuss something particularly relevant to investors today: properties financed with cheap debt in 2021 facing a very different refinancing environment. For owners, that can create a problem. For buyers, it can create an opening. But a discount alone doesn't make something a good investment. And waiting until everyone feels comfortable again has its own price. How do you separate a compelling purchase from somebody else's problem? That's where this conversation gets interesting.

    579: Follow the People: What Demographics Tell Us About the Economy's Future
    Oct 4 2026
    If you want to know what happened to Dallas real estate, look at interest rates and the wave of new apartment construction. If you want to understand where it could be headed over the next few years, look at the people. Dallas–Fort Worth's population grew by more than 123,000 in just 12 months. Compare that with the roughly 33,000 new apartments completed in 2025. That's about four additional people for every new apartment. And this year, apartment deliveries are projected to fall to roughly half their 2024 peak. Those numbers matter because the conditions that hammered the market are changing. The construction boom created intense competition for tenants. Owners offered free rent and cut prices to fill buildings. Higher borrowing costs compounded the pain. But none of that stopped the population from growing. Now those apartments are filling, and fewer new ones are coming. The people are already there. The need for housing is already there. As the excess supply gets absorbed, that demand can translate into stronger occupancy, higher rents, and better cash flow. That's the opportunity I'm watching. A market's recent performance tells you what investors just went through. Population trends can tell you a lot about what comes next. Dallas can have a painful downturn and still offer a compelling investment opportunity at today's prices. In fact, the downturn is part of what makes the opportunity attractive. As investors, we spend a lot of time talking about the next Fed meeting or the latest jobs report. Those things matter. But so does a much simpler question: where are people going, and what are they going to need when they get there? That's why I wanted to have Ken Gronbach on this week's Wealth Formula Podcast. Ken is a demographer and author who studies how population shifts shape the economy. His interest in the subject started when he was trying to help Honda motorcycle dealers sell more bikes. The advertising wasn't working. Price cuts weren't working. He eventually realized that the generation entering their prime buying years was smaller. There were simply fewer customers. The same logic applies to apartments, senior housing, healthcare, and plenty of other investments. Follow the people. Understand what they need. Then look for opportunities before everyone else catches on. Ken and I talk about those opportunities, why he's optimistic about America, and why he sees demographic trouble ahead for China. He makes some bold predictions. Whether you agree with all of them or not, this conversation will give you a different way to think about where to put your money.
