Signature topics

Five talks.

PropTech and the case for Class C multifamily.

Why undervalued Class C apartments in the Midwest are an asset class — not a deal type — and how operators who run their own software stack will compound the operating advantage over the next decade.

Building a tech-enabled real estate fund without institutional backing.

The actual mechanics of launching a Reg D Rule 506(c) fund as a first-time fund manager — how to structure it, what counsel costs, what the SEC and state notice filings require, and where the actual advantage sits for a small operator running their own securities review.

Veteran entrepreneurship and operating discipline.

What Naval Special Warfare actually teaches you about building companies — decision-making with incomplete information, after-action review as a management tool, and how small-team leadership translates to running a firm.

Running a law firm and an investment firm at the same time.

The operational framework for managing a family law practice and a real estate fund in parallel without compromising either. How the two businesses serve different audiences, share an operating cadence, and stay completely separate at the marketing and compliance layer.

Predictive maintenance, deal analysis, and NOI for multifamily.

A ground-level look at how Wise Capital built ForVue — a software-only platform using a patent-pending Weibull-Bayesian failure model — and what it actually changes about three operating decisions: when a major system will fail, whether a target acquisition pencils against operator data already in the system, and where NOI gets left on the table at properties already in the portfolio. The model gets more accurate as more user data is fed back in.
