## Resource

This is not 2008 all over again…but the discounts are looking similar. A “slow unwinding” is beginning. Ken McElroy, a multi-decade real estate investor, owner of 10,000 rental units, and one of the biggest names in real estate, is seeing discounts…big discounts. Certain investment properties are being offered to him at 80% off peak prices, and, in his own words, the “blood in the streets” is becoming visible. Now is the time for ready real estate investors to strike. We’re coming straight from The Ken McElroy Show set, live with Ken and Danille McElroy, both real estate investors, but seeing very different realities. Ken focuses on large multifamily while Danille buys (and helps her clients buy) single-family rentals. Even though prices have fallen (dramatically) for multifamily but not single-family, both Ken and Danille are seeing deeply discounted deals, if you know how to spot them. Ken and Danille share their exact real estate investing buy boxes, guidance to investors starting in today’s market, the key to spotting neighborhoods with the best price growth potential, and the dangerous risk to real estate most are ignoring, a “canary in the coal mine” that Ken is paying attention to. In This Episode We Cover The almost unbelievable deals Ken is finding in the multifamily market (80% off) Multifamily’s “slow unwinding” and why we’re seeing more distress in the market The two types of single-family properties Danille says have the biggest deal potential Ken and Danille’s multifamily and single-family buy box for 2026 The key to spotting neighborhoods with the most appreciation (prices and rent) potential A dangerous problem that most real estate investors aren’t paying attention to And So Much More!
