This week, Elliott, Brett, and Eric take a step back to share who they are and how they each found their way into real estate.

In this episode, they touch on the messy aftermath of over-leveraged multifamily syndications, what makes retail a bit more resilient in downturns, and how sometimes the best deals are in the worst zip codes—as long as you know why people want to live there. They also dig into a wild office property in Venice Beach that’s currently leased by Google and debate what it's really worth today. If you like real estate talk with a little bit of sass and a lot of experience, this one's for you.

We’re headed to Castle Rock, Colorado this week to break down a 60-unit build-to-rent deal that’s caught our attention. It sits right between Denver and Colorado Springs, in an area where home prices are pushing $1M — but rents at this property are around $1,900. We dig into what makes this deal interesting, what gives us pause, and the kind of buyer this is really perfect for.

Along the way, we get into the pros and cons of build-to-rent as a product type — everything from operational challenges to rent growth assumptions to exit strategy. There’s also some lively debate about adding fenced yards, what these units might sell for individually, and whether this location near a Whole Foods and Sprouts changes the narrative.

And of course, no episode would be complete without a critical breakdown of the local Mexican restaurant options. We go deep on the best green chile in Castle Rock — and why evaluating local tacos is just as important as evaluating the real estate itself.

This week on Real Estate Anonymous, the crew dives into a funky mixed-use deal in Glendora, California—48 residential units, 30 small-bay commercial spaces, and enough strange vibes to make Tarantino proud. From Route 66 nostalgia to questionable tenant mixes and poolside pulp fiction scenes, we break down what makes this deal weirdly compelling.

In this episode, we dig into the Royal Palms in Glendora—a property that feels like a cross between a Quentin Tarantino film set and a Big Lebowski fever dream. We unpack its quirks: questionable zoning, an odd tenant mix, a shady second-floor overhang, and a pool that gets about 30 minutes of sun a day. Plus, we riff on breakfast tacos, Texas Monthly’s taco editor, and what it’s like owning something that’s too weird for institutions but too big for mom-and-pop.

About the Podcast:
Real Estate Anonymous is your go-to podcast for offbeat real estate deep dives, unfiltered takes, and laughs that occasionally go completely off the rails. Hosted by Elliott White, Brett Moss, and Eric Weatherholtz, every episode blends serious property analysis with not-so-serious side tangents—from bathrobe-wearing landlords to taco journalism.

This week’s episode is a perfect mix of all that: a strange-but-intriguing LA property, rent control quirks, cap rate math, and a whole segment on taco culture in Texas (including a guy who gets paid to eat tacos for a living). It's chaotic, it's hilarious, and somehow still informative.

Plus, we dive into the strange one-sided rivalry between the Midwest and coastal cities—why do people in Cleveland think it’s just like Boston? Spoiler: It’s not.

To wrap things up, we talk about how the market is shifting, why brokers are finally being forced to name their prices again, and what that means for buyers. If you love real estate, unfiltered opinions, and a little bit of roasting, this one’s for you.

Join Elliott, Brett, Eric, and our guest Adam Deermount as we explore whether this gravel-lot investment is worth the price.

Will the team bite on this property, or is it a pass? Watch to find out if the combination of gravel lots, large drive aisles, and underwhelming marketing can be turned into a lucrative investment—or if it's better left alone.

Surrounded by high-demand retail like Lululemon and Sephora, this center is poised to benefit from a mix of consumer traffic and upscale demand.

In this episode, we dive into an extraordinary property located in Bartlesville, Oklahoma—a 19-story office building designed by the iconic architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Known for his innovative designs, Wright’s influence is evident in this 1956 building, standing tall at 50,000 square feet. It's a unique mix of art deco and mid-century modern styles, reminiscent of a Manhattan skyscraper, though it sits in the heart of America’s plains.

Originally commissioned by oil magnate Harold C. Price, this architectural marvel is a striking oddity in Bartlesville, constructed during the mid-20th century boom. The tower’s small office floor plans pose both challenges and opportunities for future adaptive reuse—whether as an art center, residential condos, or even a unique museum.
