What does a stabilized value-add opportunity actually look like in today’s market?

In this Property Spotlight episode of The Kansas City Market Pulse, host Logan Freeman is joined by Nick Morales to take a deeper look at a landmark downtown Hutchinson, Kansas multifamily and mixed-use portfolio totaling 96 residential units and 13 commercial spaces.

Rather than focusing on hype, this conversation breaks down the fundamentals sophisticated investors are analyzing right now — including workforce housing positioning, diversified income streams, and how stabilized assets with operational upside are being evaluated in secondary markets.

In this episode:
• Why diversified commercial income matters to underwriting
• How occupancy improved from prior distress to stabilization
• Workforce housing fundamentals driving long-term demand
• What investors should consider when evaluating mixed-use multifamily in smaller markets

This Property Spotlight is designed as a deeper analytical discussion for investors reviewing the opportunity — providing context beyond the offering materials.

Most investors don’t find opportunity until after the cycle turns — but what if you could see it coming first?

On this episode of The Kansas City Market Pulse, host Logan Freeman sits down with Bruce Fraser, Managing Partner of Elkhorn Capital Partners, to break down how macroeconomic signals shape real estate strategy and why distress is quietly re-emerging across multifamily.

Before launching Elkhorn, Bruce ran an options-based hedge fund that exited real estate before the Global Financial Crisis and re-entered the market with a disciplined focus on workforce housing and distressed opportunities. Today, his team specializes in solving broken capital stacks, forced sales, and operational challenges — not just broken buildings.

In this episode:
• Why distress is re-appearing in multifamily markets
• How macro signals actually influence real estate investing
• What today looks like compared to the 2009 cycle
• Where disciplined operators are finding opportunity right now

If you’re trying to understand where we are in the commercial real estate cycle — and how experienced investors are positioning ahead of the turn — this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
