Topics I speak on

Five talks I give most often

Each can be tailored to your audience, from LP-heavy rooms to operator workshops.

Where We Are in the Cycle (And What the Capital Side Is Actually Doing)

A grounded read on multifamily capital markets. Rates, debt availability, the bid-ask gap, and where disciplined capital is moving right now. Drawing on years on the capital side, I separate signal from noise and give the room a clear picture of how allocators are actually thinking.

Best for: GPs, LPs, developers, brokers.

Underwriting in a Market That Keeps Moving

Discipline is a competitive advantage when assumptions stop holding. I walk through how I underwrote at an institutional sponsor that deployed $600M+ across 2,500+ units, what to stress, what to refuse to assume, and how to protect a deal from your own optimism.

Best for: Acquisitions teams, sponsors, developers.

The AI Operator: How the Multifamily Game Is Changing

AI is moving from pilot decks to property operations. I cover where it already creates real efficiency, where it is still hype, and how operators can adopt it without betting the portfolio. Practical, not theoretical.

Best for: Operators, owners, proptech, service providers.

Institutional Thinking, Independent Voice: Building Authority in Multifamily

How I built The Multifamily Download to thousands of engaged readers and a 15,500+ LinkedIn following while holding a full-time capital-side role. A candid look at content as a credibility engine for operators and firms.

Best for: Founders, marketers, capital raisers, operators building a brand.

The Case for Optimism: Multifamily's Next Chapter

I believe the future will be better than the past. A clear-eyed but optimistic case for multifamily through the supply wave, the demand picture, and the structural tailwinds that outlast any single cycle.

Best for: Keynote or general session, mixed rooms.
