On this week’s episode, Kent is joined by Veena Jetti. Veena, founder of Vive Funds, breaks down the massive $100 trillion wealth transfer headed toward women and why this shift will fundamentally reshape investing, leadership, and capital allocation. She and Kent explore how women think about money differently, the social and structural impacts of this generational shift, and how operators should adapt their communication and deal framing to meet the needs of a rapidly changing investor base. Veena also dives into the importance of financial literacy, the role of legacy and economic power for women, and how families can prepare daughters to become confident investors. This episode is both a masterclass in understanding the future of capital and a powerful call for women to step into financial leadership.Where to find Veena:<ul><li>Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/veenajetti'>https://www.instagram.com/veenajetti</a></li><li>Vive Funds: <a href='https://vivefunds.com/'>https://vivefunds.com/</a></li></ul>Key Takeaways<ul><li>Women are projected to receive about $100 trillion of generational wealth by 2030, fundamentally changing who controls capital.</li><li>Male and female investors often evaluate opportunities differently — women prioritize legacy, social impact, and long-term security.</li><li>Deal presentation should shift to acknowledge these differences, offering transparency, social context, and values-driven messaging.</li><li>Financial literacy is the most important legacy parents can give their daughters, empowering independence and informed decision-making.</li><li>Women historically outperform men as investors — making education, conversation, and confidence critical to participation in the coming wealth wave.</li></ul> Check us out on socials: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/ritteronrealestate/'>Instagram</a> <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/kentritter'>LinkedIn</a> <a href='https://www.youtube.com/@ritteronrealestate495'>Youtube</a> <a href='https://hudsoninvesting.com/'>https://hudsoninvesting.com/</a> Production by <a href='https://www.outlieraudio.com/'>Outlier Audio</a>

The $100 Trillion Wealth Shift Reshaping Investing with Veena Jetti

On this week’s episode, Kent is joined by Matt Faircloth. Matt walks through his 20-year journey from small single-family deals to raising hundreds of millions in private capital and building a diversified portfolio of multifamily, hotels, and a debt fund. He and Kent unpack why the classic value-add play has changed in today’s market, where he still sees opportunity in newer assets and public-private partnerships, and how tax incentives can make new construction pencil. They also dig into why he’s leaning into cash-flow-focused deals, what LPs should demand from sponsors right now, and how to underwrite for the next “black swan” instead of hoping the last cycle’s playbook still works.Where to find Matt:<ul><li>DeRosa Group: <a href='https://www.derosagroup.com/'>https://www.derosagroup.com/</a> </li><li>Landlord Chronicles YouTube channel: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbVJpAsilhvzJp-B-fHz1og'>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbVJpAsilhvzJp-B-fHz1og</a> </li><li>The Best Ever CRE Show podcast: <a href='https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-best-ever-cre-show/id904025246'>https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-best-ever-cre-show/id904025246</a> </li></ul>Key Takeaways<ul><li>Why traditional heavy value-add in Class B and C multifamily is crowded in many Southeast markets, and where Matt still sees upside in mismanaged and newer 10–15-year-old assets.</li><li>How public-private partnerships, tax abatements, and programs tied to AMI can dramatically improve new-build and redevelopment returns by reducing the real estate tax burden.</li><li>Matt’s thesis for diversifying into newer multifamily, hotels, and a debt fund to blend dependable cash flow with long-term appreciation potential.</li><li>The growing importance of strong operating reserves, conservative leverage, and planning for insurance spikes, tax hikes, and other “unknowns” instead of assuming smooth sailing.</li><li>Why many LPs are burned by recent vintages, how funds can offer diversification versus single-asset deals, and what passive investors should look for in terms of operator experience, fund terms, NAV updates, and liquidity.</li></ul>Books mentioned<ul><li>Raising Private Capital: Build Your Real Estate Investing Empire with Other People&apos;s Money by Matt Faircloth – <a href='https://store.biggerpockets.com/products/raising-private-capital-revised-edition'>https://store.biggerpockets.com/products/raising-private-capital-revised-edition</a> (<a href='https://store.biggerpockets.com/products/raising-private-capital-revised-edition?srsltid=AfmBOooofzbL86CDfAe0CtI6A06TRAdCxwGG7ZpFyaQvyV2qWajcPBU4&amp;utm_source=chatgpt.com'>BiggerPockets Bookstore</a>)</li></ul> Check us out on socials: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/ritteronrealestate/'>Instagram</a> <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/kentritter'>LinkedIn</a> <a href='https://www.youtube.com/@ritteronrealestate495'>Youtube</a> <a href='https://hudsoninvesting.com/'>https://hudsoninvesting.com/</a> Production by <a href='https://www.outlieraudio.com/'>Outlier Audio</a>

Hotels Debt Funds and Diversified Returns with Matt Faircloth

On this week’s episode, Kent is joined by August Biniaz. August walks through what it really takes to launch and scale a real estate private equity firm, from finding your place between mom-and-pop operators and institutional giants to structuring a business that can attract serious capital. He breaks down the three core pillars of a PE firm—acquisitions, asset management, and investor relations—and how he’s used content, LinkedIn, webinars, and a tight CRM system to raise millions from high-net-worth investors. August and Kent also dig into the “multifamily clock,” why today feels closer to the bottom of the cycle, where he’s finding distressed opportunities (like San Antonio), and how CPI’s new mutual fund trust lets Canadian investors use retirement funds to access U.S. multifamily.Where to find August:<ul><li>Website: <a href='https://cpicapital.ca/'>CPI Capital</a> </li><li>Bio: <a href='https://cpicapital.ca/team/august-biniaz/'>CPI Capital – August Biniaz</a></li><li>Podcast: <a href='https://cpicapital.ca/podcast/'>Real Estate Investing Demystified</a> </li><li>LinkedIn: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/augustbiniaz'>August Biniaz</a> </li></ul>Key Takeaways<ul><li>Launching a real estate private equity firm takes more than confidence—you need the right niche, partners, and a willingness to operate in a “middle market” space between mom-and-pop deals and giant institutional players.</li><li>Successful firms are built on three core verticals: acquisitions (finding and underwriting deals), asset management (executing the business plan), and investor relations/marketing (raising and nurturing capital at scale).</li><li>Building investor trust starts long before a deal goes live—through consistent branding, educational content, podcasts, LinkedIn thought leadership, webinars, conferences, and a disciplined CRM plus weekly newsletter to nurture warm leads.</li><li>Many new syndicators stumble by overestimating what their database can actually raise, leaning too hard on friends and family who don’t yet see them as “real estate people,” or ignoring the serious compliance risks around securities laws in both the U.S. and Canada.</li><li>August’s “multifamily clock” framework highlights how interest rates drive the cycle; with distress, foreclosures, and note haircuts showing up in markets like San Antonio, he sees real opportunity to buy below replacement cost while also expanding into build-to-rent and retirement-account-friendly fund structures.</li></ul> Check us out on socials: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/ritteronrealestate/'>Instagram</a> <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/kentritter'>LinkedIn</a> <a href='https://www.youtube.com/@ritteronrealestate495'>Youtube</a> <a href='https://hudsoninvesting.com/'>https://hudsoninvesting.com/</a> Production by <a href='https://www.outlieraudio.com/'>Outlier Audio</a>

Lessons from $225M in Real Estate Deals with August Biniaz

On this week’s episode, Kent is joined by Chris Zona. Chris shares how investors can use litigation not as a defensive tool but as a powerful offensive strategy to unlock value in distressed and value-add real estate deals. He explains how buying non-performing notes, enforcing loan covenants, and strategically using foreclosure or receivership actions can give investors control and create strong returns. Chris also talks about where these opportunities are most abundant and how his background as an Air Force JAG shaped his disciplined and strategic mindset.Where to find Chris:<ul><li>Website: <a href='https://mblawfirm.com/professionals/christopher-t-zona/'>Mandelbaum Barrett PC – Christopher T.

From Non-Performing Notes to Cash-Flowing Assets with Chris Zona

On this week’s episode, Kent is joined by Gino Barbaro. Gino is an investor, author, coach, and co-founder of Jake &amp; Gino, who has built a $400M multifamily portfolio and now teaches others how to do the same. In this conversation, Kent and Gino revisit Gino’s investing journey from restaurant owner to real estate mogul and dig into his “Jockey, Saddle, Horse” framework for evaluating passive investments. Gino shares lessons from his early mistakes—including losing $172K to “Maserati Mike”—and why understanding your relationship with money, your goals, and your alignment with sponsors is essential to long-term success.Where to find Gino: Website: <a href='https://barbaro360.com/'>https://barbaro360.com</a> Multifamily Education: <a href='https://jakeandgino.com/'>https://jakeandgino.com</a> Podcast: <a href='https://jakeandgino.com/podcast/'>Jake &amp; Gino Show</a>Key Takeaways<ul><li>Gino’s early loss to a bad sponsor inspired his “Jockey, Saddle, Horse” framework—prioritizing the sponsor, alignment of interests, and then the deal itself.</li><li>A good passive investor must understand the business well enough to read financials and ask smart questions.</li><li>Alignment of goals is critical—cash flow, hold period, and risk tolerance should match between investor and sponsor.</li><li>Don’t chase deals for the sake of activity—fall in love with the process, not the goal.</li><li>Know your “why” and choose the right “race” to run—whether you want passive income, diversification, or a full-time transition.</li><li>Persistence and accountability matter more than talent; success comes from disciplined follow-through.</li></ul>Books mentioned<ul><li>Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck — <a href='https://www.amazon.com/Mindset-Psychology-Carol-S-Dweck/dp/0345472322'>https://www.amazon.com/Mindset-Psychology-Carol-S-Dweck/dp/0345472322</a></li><li>Atomic Habits by James Clear — <a href='https://www.amazon.com/Atomic-Habits-Proven-Build-Break/dp/0735211299'>https://www.amazon.com/Atomic-Habits-Proven-Build-Break/dp/0735211299</a></li></ul> Check us out on socials: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/ritteronrealestate/'>Instagram</a> <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/kentritter'>LinkedIn</a> <a href='https://www.youtube.com/@ritteronrealestate495'>Youtube</a> <a href='https://hudsoninvesting.com/'>https://hudsoninvesting.com/</a> Production by <a href='https://www.outlieraudio.com/'>Outlier Audio</a>

Gino shares lessons from his early mistakes—including losing $172K to “Maserati Mike”—and why understanding your relationship with money, your goals, and your alignment with sponsors is essential to long-term success.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Where to find Gino:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt; Website: &lt;a href='https://barbaro360.com/'&gt;https://barbaro360.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt; Multifamily Education: &lt;a href='https://jakeandgino.com/'&gt;https://jakeandgino.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt; Podcast: &lt;a href='https://jakeandgino.com/podcast/'&gt;Jake &amp;amp; Gino Show&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Key Takeaways&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Gino’s early loss to a bad sponsor inspired his “Jockey, Saddle, Horse” framework—prioritizing the &lt;b&gt;sponsor&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;alignment of interests&lt;/b&gt;, and then &lt;b&gt;the deal&lt;/b&gt; itself.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A good passive investor must understand the business well enough to read financials and ask smart questions.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Alignment of goals is critical—cash flow, hold period, and risk tolerance should match between investor and sponsor.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Don’t chase deals for the sake of activity—fall in love with the process, not the goal.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Know your “why” and choose the right “race” to run—whether you want passive income, diversification, or a full-time transition.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Persistence and accountability matter more than talent; success comes from disciplined follow-through.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Books mentioned&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Mindset: The New Psychology of Success&lt;/em&gt; by Carol Dweck — &lt;a href='https://www.amazon.com/Mindset-Psychology-Carol-S-Dweck/dp/0345472322'&gt;https://www.amazon.com/Mindset-Psychology-Carol-S-Dweck/dp/0345472322&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Atomic Habits&lt;/em&gt; by James Clear — &lt;a href='https://www.amazon.com/Atomic-Habits-Proven-Build-Break/dp/0735211299'&gt;https://www.amazon.com/Atomic-Habits-Proven-Build-Break/dp/0735211299&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Check us out on socials: &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.instagram.com/ritteronrealestate/'&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/kentritter'&gt;LinkedIn&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.youtube.com/@ritteronrealestate495'&gt;Youtube&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href='https://hudsoninvesting.com/'&gt;https://hudsoninvesting.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Production by &lt;a href='https://www.outlieraudio.com/'&gt;Outlier Audio&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
