Dan Brisse breaks down the 10 most costly mistakes he and the Granite Towers Equity Group team have made—and continues to see investors make—in multifamily real estate.

From relying on short-term bridge debt and aggressive rent growth to buying unfamiliar markets, blindly trusting broker pro formas, forcing deals to work, and investing with inexperienced operators, these mistakes can become extremely expensive when the market turns.

Dan also explains why cash flow, conservative underwriting, experienced operators, meaningful cash reserves, and understanding market cycles are critical to surviving difficult periods and positioning yourself for future opportunities.

Looking back on years of investing, the biggest lesson is simple: you don't have to avoid every mistake, but you need to learn from them before they cost you everything.

Looking back at the current real estate cycle, Dan Brisse breaks down why uncertainty—not certainty—can create some of the best opportunities for disciplined investors.

With a weakening labor market, elevated inflation, high interest rates, refinancing pressure, and reduced construction, the market is creating a unique setup for investors who have liquidity, conservative leverage, and the patience to wait for the right deal.

Dan explains why investors shouldn't build their strategy around predicting rate cuts, why you make money on the buy, how distressed sellers can create opportunities even when the underlying property is strong, and what to look for in multifamily and triple-net lease investments.

The key lesson: don't try to predict the future—build investments that can survive it.

What happens when money suddenly becomes harder to get—and real estate investors aren't prepared?

In this episode of Keeping It Real Estate, Dan Brisse breaks down why a potential liquidity crunch could create significant challenges for overleveraged real estate investors, while simultaneously creating some of the best buying opportunities in years. When banks tighten lending, owners struggle to refinance, and debt maturities force properties onto the market, even great real estate can trade at significant discounts.

Dan explains why investors should focus on avoiding forced sales, maintaining healthy cash reserves, using conservative leverage, and building strong relationships with lenders and investors before a crisis hits. He also discusses why investors shouldn't rely on interest rates falling, how AI could reshape the economy and real estate, and why the best deals are structured to survive whether rates go up, stay flat, or decline.

The key takeaway: you don't need to predict what happens next—you need to be prepared for whatever happens next. Investors with liquidity, strong relationships, disciplined underwriting, and quality assets may be in the best position to play offense when others are forced to sell.
