The last two years have tested every real estate investor’s limits. In this episode, Jennings Smith, CEO of My First Million in Multifamily and co-creator of The Deal Room, joins Seth to break down what’s really happening in today’s market. Jennings opens up about over-scaling, selling off high-risk assets, and pivoting into easier, more stable investments.

Jennings also shares how he grew one of the fastest-rising Facebook groups in the real estate space by giving massive value, staying transparent, and teaching others to raise capital ethically and sustainably.

Bullet Points and Highlights: - Why raising capital in 2025 feels harder but better - The difference between scaling fast vs. scaling smart - How floating-rate bridge loans nearly broke his portfolio - When to pivot, liquidate, or double down - The real reason some investors failed after 2021 - How to communicate value when people ask “what do you do?” - Why community and education have been his biggest growth tools - Behind the rise of My First Million in Multifamily
