The Rental Industry Blind Spot

06/02/2026

One of the biggest lessons I learned came from watching Detroit during the last recession.

It showed me that markets don’t just move on real estate… they move on fundamentals.

That’s why I now focus heavily on things like population trends, job concentration, and economic diversity when evaluating where to invest.

A few of the red flags I look for are in the carousel above.

We’ll break this down more on June 11 when I share how I find strong markets and neighborhoods for investing.

Why Property Insurance Keeps Rising

🚫 Insurance premiums aren’t rising by accident—and most investors have no idea where their money is actually going.

In this episode of the Multifamily Insights Podcast, John Casmon sits down with Nicolas Lares, founder of Insur3Tech, to unpack why insurance costs continue to surge across multifamily real estate. After previously becoming one of the largest brokers for Amazon’s logistics network, Nicolas shifted into real estate insurance when carrier exits began threatening operators’ ability to stay profitable.

Now, through a syndicated captive insurance model, he helps owners and investors take back control by retaining profits traditional insurance carriers typically keep. They also discuss how captive insurance works, who qualifies, and why policyholders may have more leverage than they realize.

💬 Do you think rising insurance costs are a temporary cycle—or the new normal for multifamily owners?

Most multifamily operators hit a ceiling because their systems can’t support their growth.

In this episode of the Multifamily Insights Podcast, John Casmon sits down with Spencer Vickers to break down the hidden operational systems every multifamily operator needs in order to scale effectively. After working at Invesco Real Estate, D.R. Horton’s multifamily platform, and in healthcare acquisitions, Spencer saw firsthand how institutional groups operate differently—and why smaller operators often struggle to compete.

Now through The Fractional Analyst, he helps syndicators build institutional-grade reporting, back office processes, and deal analysis systems without the overhead of hiring full-time staff.
