Thinking about house hacking or buying your first investment property? In this video, multifamily brokers Juan Huizar and Cody Charnell break down the 10 most common questions new investors ask when getting started.

We cover everything from whether you should buy a single-family home or a small multifamily, how financing actually works, managing tenants, buying in California vs out of state, and how real investors scale from their first duplex or fourplex into larger apartment buildings.

This episode is focused on real-world investing in Southern California, but the concepts apply anywhere if you’re serious about building long-term wealth through real estate.

If you’re new to investing, house hacking, or trying to decide your next move in 20 26, this is a must-watch.

If you’re a real estate investor looking to raise capital through syndication, your investor deck matters — a lot. In this episode, we show how AI can create a professional-grade investor pitch deck in minutes, not weeks.

Juan Huizar and Jake Heller walk through a real, step-by-step workflow using AI tools like Claude and Gamma to generate a full multifamily syndication deck — including mock financials, market overview, comps, and even instant translations into other languages.

This isn’t theory. You’ll see how an 8-unit Long Beach deal turns into a polished 10+ slide investor presentation in under 10 minutes, without touching PowerPoint or Canva.
