Harley Green is a former software architect and computer engineer who traded a career designing complex systems for a different kind of freedom through real estate investing. After more than 15 years in technology, Harley and his wife, Adrienne, began investing in real estate in 2013, learning the business firsthand through renovations, investor networking, private lending, and self-directed IRAs. Those experiences ultimately led them to build InvestAway, a private lending company focused on short-term, first-lien real estate loans for experienced operators across the Southeast.

Harley is passionate about helping investors put their capital to work through real estate-backed lending while building a life on their own terms. We discuss how InvestAway works, what investors should understand about private lending and self-directed IRAs, and the importance of protecting your capital when investing in real estate. Perhaps most inspiring, Harley, Adrienne, and their three children operate their business remotely while traveling internationally full-time. Join us as we explore how building the right systems, making intentional investment decisions, and thinking differently about work can help create greater time and financial freedom!

Roughly $300 billion in multifamily mortgage debt is scheduled to mature in 2026—but does that mean $300 billion worth of distressed apartment buildings are about to hit the market? Not necessarily. It means thousands of property owners are facing a decision: refinance, sell, bring additional capital to the table, or find another creative solution. And when today's financing environment looks very different from when many of these loans were originally made, some interesting opportunities can emerge.

In this episode with podcast host Mike Swenson, we break down what the $300 billion maturity wave really means for real estate investors, where potential distressed opportunities may be hiding, and how investors can find owners who need solutions, not just buyers looking for a bargain. We’ll explore refinancing challenges, creative financing, seller financing, loan assumptions, motivated sellers, and the key question every investor should be asking: What problem can I solve that creates a win-win real estate deal?

What if investing in commercial real estate could be as accessible as buying stocks? Mor Milo is Co-Founder and CEO of Relli, a PropTech platform built to change how everyday investors access commercial real estate. Growing up, Mor watched his immigrant parents build generational wealth one property at a time—and eventually became determined to figure out why that same opportunity remained out of reach for so many people. After several startup ventures, Mor and his co-founder Ross Iannarelli identified a major gap in the market: commercial real estate syndications offered powerful passive-income opportunities, but high barriers to entry and limited access kept most individual investors on the sidelines.

Relli is working to create a two-sided marketplace connecting vetted commercial real estate operators with individual investors, bringing greater selection, transparency, and accessibility to an industry traditionally dominated by wealthy investors and institutions. If you've ever wondered how technology could reshape real estate investing and give everyday investors access to opportunities once reserved for the wealthy, this conversation offers a fascinating look at where the industry may be headed.

Can you build a real estate portfolio in the United States without living here? Jullion Cooper is doing just that. He founded Properties By JMC and is proving that geography doesn’t have to be a barrier to building wealth through real estate. Living and working in countries all over the world, Jullion started by acquiring single-family properties in Michigan for $30,000–$40,000 before deciding it was time to “play a bigger game.” Just nine months later, he closed on a 23-unit apartment community in Lansing, Michigan.

Jullion shares how he successfully invests remotely, makes the leap from single-family rentals to multifamily, raises capital through authentic relationships, and uses disciplined due diligence to protect investors. We also dive into the systems and mindset required to manage U.S. real estate from thousands of miles away and why building relationships can be more valuable than simply chasing transactions. If you’ve ever wondered whether you can invest in real estate from another state—or even another country—this episode offers a powerful blueprint for building long-term wealth without being tied to a specific location.

What happens when you skip the traditional corporate path, lean into networking, and turn relationships into real estate opportunities? Haydynn Fike is co-founder of Acadia Capital and host of The Art of Connecting Podcast. After graduating from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, Haydynn quickly realized the corporate world wasn't for him and began attending every networking event he could find. That decision led to a partnership with Dan, a 74-unit storage facility, and eventually the creation of Acadia Capital. Today, Haydynn has helped investors place more than $7 million into Acadia Capital while building a growing network of real estate investors throughout the Southeast.

Haydynn shares how networking and genuine relationships can create opportunities that aren't found by simply scrolling through property listings. He also talks about flipping two houses in 2024, owning a 74-unit storage facility, building investor communities through the Southeast Best Real Estate Meetup and Chattanooga Owners Club, and the lessons he's learned along the way. From raising capital and finding deals to building relationships and taking action, this conversation is packed with practical insights for anyone looking to grow their real estate investing business and their network.
