In this episode, I’m taking you inside our latest deal—a 100,000-square-foot flex space property at Friars Crossing in Chattanooga, TN—and sharing why we’ve stopped chasing multifamily altogether.
I’m joined by Dave Codre from Greenleaf out of Atlanta as we break down why flex industrial has become our top target for 2025. From smaller tenant suites that keep vacancy low, to flexible layouts that let us reposition space fast, we’re seeing real advantages over apartments.
In this episode, I break down why multifamily real estate might be the worst place to invest in 2025—and what asset classes are actually delivering results right now.

This past week’s been a whirlwind—jumping straight out of meetings, dealing with a contractor dispute that ballooned to a $100,000 overage on a $166,000 job, and preparing for our upcoming CRE Accelerator Mastermind event right here in Nashville. We’re talking full-scale underwriting workshops, deal pitches over cocktails, and a deep dive into live property analysis with the mastermind community.
