From Apartments to Rooming Houses for Bigger Profits – Forrest Lennhoff

Forrest shares how he scaled from small multifamily into licensed rooming houses across Greater Boston and southern New Hampshire—ranging from 11 rooms to a 76-unit, dorm-style building with commercial kitchens and daily-cleaned common areas. He explains why he buys existing, properly licensed assets (instead of cutting up apartments), how tenant demand is driven by affordability, and why management intensity and collections risk are the price of higher margins.

How AI and 100 Meaningful Conversations a Month Drive Deals with Logan Freeman

Logan breaks down how he defines and tracks “meaningful conversations” (about 100 per month) to focus only on activities that move deals forward. He explains his Kansas City strategy, why creative structures beat chasing yesterday’s cap rates, and how he blends AI with CRE fundamentals to deliver same-day portfolio and market analyses clients love.
Key Topics
Meaningful conversations → measurable pipeline: How Logan defines, tracks, and protects time for high-value chats with owners, investors, vendors, and tenants.
“Land squatting” for flex industrial: Adapting Neil Bawa’s idea—option raw land, drive entitlements/rezoning, line up build-to-suit users, and package “paper lots” or fully approved sites.
AI as an edge (with verification): Using frameworks, proprietary data, and tools to create 10–12 page portfolio audits in ~35 minutes—then spot-checking outputs before client delivery.
Why Kansas City works: Affordability, logistics (rail and 2-day truck reach to ~80% of the U.S.), supply-constrained multifamily, and surging data-center development.

Cash Flow and Storage Plays with Wayne Courreges

In this conversation, Wayne breaks down his 80/20 approach: 80% stabilized, cash-flowing multifamily (100–150 units, 1980s+), and 20% entrepreneurial projects like 20×50 storage, build-to-rent, and a mixed-use development in Bryan, Texas. He explains how conservative underwriting, loan assumptions, and fixed-rate financing have helped him sidestep recent industry turbulence—and even buy a San Antonio asset ~$3M below last year’s price.
We dig into the business case for large-format storage (think concrete, steel, low expenses, sticky business tenants), the realities of lease-up and operations, and why Wayne keeps these projects in the “innovation lab” while doubling down on bread-and-butter multifamily. Wayne also outlines his capital stack, how he combined 506(b) and 506(c) to include both known non-accredited and accredited investors, and the investor experience he aims to deliver: consistent communication, realistic cash flow, and education first.
