Can two Long Beach multifamily brokers ace a real estate quiz written by AI? Cody and I analyze apartment deals every day, so we put ourselves to the test with 7 questions on GRM, cap rates, days on market, the 1% rule, DSCR, 1031 exchanges, and LTV. We went 6 for 7, and we left the one we missed in the video.

Along the way, we break down how each metric actually works in the Long Beach market: why a GRM of 10 is strong here, the 35% expense rule of thumb we use on Southern California apartment buildings, when a high days-on-market number signals a negotiating opportunity, and why the 1% rule is nearly impossible to hit in SoCal.

Is now the time to sell your fourplex and buy something bigger? Juan Huizar, President of Sage Real Estate, has closed 42 transactions so far in 2026. In this episode of The Apartment Forecast, he walks through 11 of those deals and the investors behind them.

You'll see how Juan sold his own fourplex for $325K more than he paid and rolled roughly $600K in equity into a 10-unit building. You'll also meet a first-time buyer whose whole family showed up to support his first apartment purchase, an Altadena fire survivor who rebuilt her portfolio with a Belmont Shore fourplex, and an investor who turned two "lazy money" condos into a 6-unit building in Long Beach.
