This week, Elliott, Brett, and Eric take a step back to share who they are and how they each found their way into real estate. Then they dive into the juicy stuff—multifamily foreclosures, retail resilience, and whether it makes sense to buy an office building with binoculars on the front (hint: it might).

In this episode, they touch on the messy aftermath of over-leveraged multifamily syndications, what makes retail a bit more resilient in downturns, and how sometimes the best deals are in the worst zip codes—as long as you know why people want to live there. They also dig into a wild office property in Venice Beach that’s currently leased by Google and debate what it's really worth today. If you like real estate talk with a little bit of sass and a lot of experience, this one's for you.

We’re headed to Castle Rock, Colorado this week to break down a 60-unit build-to-rent deal that’s caught our attention. It sits right between Denver and Colorado Springs, in an area where home prices are pushing $1M — but rents at this property are around $1,900. We dig into what makes this deal interesting, what gives us pause, and the kind of buyer this is really perfect for.

Along the way, we get into the pros and cons of build-to-rent as a product type — everything from operational challenges to rent growth assumptions to exit strategy. There’s also some lively debate about adding fenced yards, what these units might sell for individually, and whether this location near a Whole Foods and Sprouts changes the narrative.

And of course, no episode would be complete without a critical breakdown of the local Mexican restaurant options. We go deep on the best green chile in Castle Rock — and why evaluating local tacos is just as important as evaluating the real estate itself.

This week on Real Estate Anonymous, the crew dives into a funky mixed-use deal in Glendora, California—48 residential units, 30 small-bay commercial spaces, and enough strange vibes to make Tarantino proud. From Route 66 nostalgia to questionable tenant mixes and poolside pulp fiction scenes, we break down what makes this deal weirdly compelling.

In this episode, we dig into the Royal Palms in Glendora—a property that feels like a cross between a Quentin Tarantino film set and a Big Lebowski fever dream. We unpack its quirks: questionable zoning, an odd tenant mix, a shady second-floor overhang, and a pool that gets about 30 minutes of sun a day. Plus, we riff on breakfast tacos, Texas Monthly’s taco editor, and what it’s like owning something that’s too weird for institutions but too big for mom-and-pop.
