The Real Deal columnist Erik Engquist joins Shaun Riney and Seth Glasser for an inside look at one of the country’s leading real estate news outlets. Erik shares how he finds stories, develops sources, and brings context to an industry often reduced to headlines.

The discussion focuses on the disconnect between NYC’s housing politics and the economics of running multifamily buildings. From rent stabilization and renovation costs to Mamdani’s housing agenda, they explore why policies intended to protect tenants can discourage investment—and what it might take to bring vacant apartments back to market.

Erik also traces his path from Brooklyn community newspapers to Crain’s and The Real Deal, explains how reelection pressures shape housing policy, and shares why owners need to tell their stories if they want to change the conversation.

Joe Koicim, Shaun Riney, Seth Glasser, and Mike Salvatico sit down for a roundtable discussion on the current state of the New York City multifamily market and why today's challenging environment may be creating some of the best buying opportunities in years.

Despite rising interest rates, tighter lending standards, and continued regulatory uncertainty, transactions are getting done and capital is finding its way back into New York City. The group discusses historically low valuations, attractive cap rates, the growing presence of all-cash and 1031 exchange buyers, and why some properties are trading well below their prices from a decade ago.

They also explore the challenges and opportunities in rent-stabilized housing, how investors are underwriting collection losses and regulatory risk, the impact of lender pressure on sellers, and where they see the most compelling investment opportunities.

Seth Glasser and Matt Gault sit down with Paul Carassone, known on the internet as The Property Boss, for a wide-ranging conversation on a lifetime spent owning, operating, and investing in multifamily real estate.

Paul shares how his early years working in his family’s grocery business and alongside his father in Bronx apartment buildings shaped the hands-on approach that eventually helped him build a prolific multifamily portfolio in the Hudson Valley. He shares the practical lessons that come from decades of experience, from understanding buildings and managing tenants to controlling costs and navigating the day-to-day realities of operating real estate, a business that's not as "passive" as many people think.

Paul also weighs in on today’s NYC multifamily market, why he believes current Bronx pricing represents a generational buying opportunity, and why investors willing to ride out the current political cycle could see significant upside. The conversation then turns to the other side of investing: knowing when to sell, planning an exit strategy, navigating 1031 exchanges and DSTs, and deciding what life will look like after selling

This episode offers an unfiltered look at what it actually takes to build wealth in real estate—and how to prepare for the next chapter.
