The Real Estate Investments Built to Survive a Down Market (ft. Dani Lynn Robison)

What happens when a real estate deal makes you lose $72,000, even though you did everything "right" on paper? In this episode, Russ and Joey sit down with Dani Lynn Robison to talk about her journey from cruise ship musician to real estate agent, investor, and fund operator, and the lessons she learned along the way. Dani shares how she learned creative strategies during the 2008 downturn, why she believes in full transparency on subject-to deals, and the costly duplex rehab that taught her the importance of accountability. She also explains why she moved from active to passive investing and why she now focuses on needs-based real estate: multifamily, senior housing, and self-storage. Top three things you will learn: -What "needs-based" real estate is and why it can hold up in any market -How to vet an operator before you invest -Why your worst deal can teach you more than your best one About Our Guest: Dani Lynn Robison is the Founder and CEO of Freedom Family Investments, where she leads company strategy, capital formation, and risk governance across the firm's real estate investment platform.
