  • Episdoe 217 - Commercial Real Estate Just Flashed a Major Buying Signal
    Jul 14 2026

    Commercial real estate may be entering one of its most important buying windows in years.

    In this episode of Keeping It Real Estate, Dan Brisse explains why falling commercial property prices are creating new opportunities for disciplined investors. Using recent market data, he breaks down how higher interest rates are forcing sellers to adjust their expectations—and why that's beginning to create attractive entry points for buyers.

    Dan discusses the gap between buyers and sellers, why today's market looks very different from 2021, and how patience, strong underwriting, and disciplined investing can position investors for long-term success. He also shares why great opportunities rarely appear when everyone feels comfortable, but instead emerge when uncertainty is still high.

    If you're looking to better understand today's commercial real estate market and why experienced investors are paying close attention, this episode is for you.

  • Episode 218 - America Isn't Running Out of Jobs—It's Running Out of Workers
    Jul 14 2026

    Everyone is focused on the latest jobs report—but the bigger economic story may be the shrinking number of workers in America.

    In this episode of Keeping It Real Estate, Dan Brisse breaks down why hundreds of thousands of people leaving the labor force could signal a much larger demographic shift. He explores how retiring baby boomers, slowing immigration, and the rise of AI and automation are reshaping the workforce—and why these trends matter for real estate investors.

    Dan also explains how labor shortages can drive wages, construction costs, and inflation higher, potentially making new apartment development more difficult and existing multifamily properties increasingly valuable. He shares why Granite Towers continues to prioritize cash flow, fixed-rate debt, healthy reserves, strong markets, and a margin of safety when evaluating investments.

    If you want to understand why the latest jobs report may actually be a demographic story—and what decade-long workforce trends could mean for multifamily real estate—this episode breaks it down clearly.

  • Episode 216 - Why Fixed Debt Matters More Than Ever in Real Estate
    Jul 7 2026

    Higher interest rates have changed the rules of commercial real estate—and hoping for rate cuts is no longer a strategy.

    In this episode of Keeping It Real Estate, Dan Brisse breaks down why the Federal Reserve's hawkish stance is forcing investors to rethink their approach. He explains why low-leverage, fixed-rate debt has become one of the most important tools for protecting capital, avoiding catastrophic losses, and surviving volatile market cycles.

    Dan also shares firsthand lessons from Granite Towers, discussing how disciplined underwriting, sticking to proven investment criteria, and resisting market hype can make the difference between surviving a downturn and being forced to sell. He explores why many operators are struggling today, how wealth transfers happen during market resets, and why patient investors are beginning to find opportunities again.

    If you want to understand how experienced real estate investors manage risk, protect downside, and position themselves for long-term success in today's market, this episode is for you.
