JF 4236: Private Credit, Cannabis Real Estate and Yield Investing ft. Chris Reece

Episode 4236

Wednesday, May 13, 2026 • Duration 49:40

Ash Patel and Amanda Cruise interview Chris Reece, who explains how he’s generating double-digit returns by lending into the cannabis real estate sector, where traditional banks won’t operate. He breaks down his strategy of issuing short-term, senior secured loans at 12–15% while underwriting properties at non-cannabis valuations to protect downside risk. Chris also shares why this opportunity is temporary, driven by limited capital access and regulatory barriers, and how future legalization could compress returns as more lenders enter the space. He highlights the importance of conservative underwriting, personal guarantees, and strong borrower vetting in a volatile but high-demand market.

JF 4234: CRE Recession, Inflation Trends and Investment Strategy ft. Anna Kelley

Episode 4234

Friday, May 8, 2026 • Duration 01:06:17

J Scott interviews Anna Kelley in this Next Level CRE Takeover, who breaks down why multifamily has been hit by one of its worst downturns in history, driven by rising interest rates, higher treasury yields, and surging operating costs. She explains that cap rate expansion alone has pushed property values down by 30–40%, while inflation has simultaneously increased expenses such as insurance and taxes, creating a “double squeeze” on investors. They also dive into the broader economic picture, covering inflation risks, tariffs, global conflict, and the growing impact of liquidity constraints on real estate. Anna highlights why debt structure has become the biggest risk factor for investors and warns that a prolonged period of stagflation or recession could reshape the market. Despite the challenges, she emphasizes that disciplined underwriting, long-term debt, and strategic positioning in hard assets can create major opportunities for investors who are prepared.
