  • Why RV Parks Are An Underrated Asset Class With Robert Preston *Replay*
    Jan 19 2026

    *This is a previously aired episode* On this week’s episode, Kent is joined by Robert Preston to explore why RV parks are an underrated and increasingly compelling real estate asset class. Robert shares his journey from single-family flips to multifamily, mobile home parks, and ultimately RV parks, explaining how lower competition, strong cash flow, and operational upside drew him into the space. The conversation dives into seasonality, Sun Belt market selection, and how small operational changes—like dynamic pricing and improved amenities—can drive outsized returns. Robert also breaks down the key barriers to entry, including management complexity and financing challenges, and why those hurdles can actually create opportunity for experienced operators.

    Where to find Robert:

    • Company: Clime Capital
    • Website: https://climecapital.com
    • Email: robert@climecapital.com

    Key Takeaways

    • RV parks offer higher cap rates and less competition compared to multifamily, especially for investors willing to self-manage.
    • Seasonality and climate matter—parks in temperate Sun Belt markets can achieve more consistent year-round revenue.
    • Small operational improvements, like pricing adjustments and better Wi-Fi, can quickly boost NOI with minimal capex.
    • Scale is critical: parks need enough sites and revenue to support quality on-site management.
    • RV parks blend hospitality and real estate, requiring a different mindset than traditional apartments.

  • Scaling Past Bank Limits with Matthew Medrano
    Jan 12 2026

    On this week’s episode, Kent is joined by Matthew Medrano to break down why real estate financing often gets harder as investors scale—and what smart investors can do before they stall out. Matt explains how traditional banks underwrite borrowers, why arbitrary lending caps exist, and how asset-based and DSCR lending can unlock continued growth beyond the first 5–10 properties. The conversation demystifies private lending, debt service coverage ratios, and why cash flow, not personal income, becomes the focus as portfolios grow. Kent and Matt also dive into common lending mistakes, the danger of chasing interest rates alone, and how strong lender relationships can make or break a deal.

    Where to find Matthew:

    • Website: https://dynamocapital.com
    • Email: matthew@dynamocapital.com

    Key Takeaways

    • Traditional banks often cap lending based on the borrower, not the property—creating friction for successful investors.
    • DSCR loans focus on property cash flow rather than personal income or W-2s.
    • Interest rate alone doesn’t define a good loan; fees, prepayment terms, and certainty to close matter just as much.
    • Private lending works best as a long-term relationship, not a one-off transaction.
    • Reading loan terms carefully can prevent costly surprises at exit.

  • Building Wealth Without Big Swings with Bob Fraser
    Jan 5 2026

    On this week’s episode, Kent is joined by Bob Fraser. Bob explains why many passive investors underperform not because they choose bad deals, but because they misunderstand portfolio construction and risk. He breaks down how volatility quietly erodes compounding, why true diversification requires uncorrelated assets, and how family offices think differently about capital preservation. The conversation also explores private credit, real estate’s role in reducing portfolio swings, and why operator alignment matters most when markets turn.

    Where to find Bob:

    • Website: https://investlikeabillionaire.org
    • Company: https://aspenfunds.us
    • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bobfraser10/

    Key Takeaways

    • Volatility can destroy long-term returns even when average performance looks strong
    • True diversification means owning assets that do not move together during downturns
    • Family offices prioritize downside protection over headline returns
    • Private credit and preferred equity can reduce portfolio risk while generating income
    • Operator co-investment is one of the strongest indicators of alignment
