Aloha, It’s Shelon "Hutch" Hutchinson here! If you’re enjoying 'The Multifamily Real Estate Experiment' podcast, please like, comment, and share our episodes to help us reach and inspire more people. Thank you for your support!In this episode, Kevin Bupp shares the hard truth about what went wrong early in his investing journey. His portfolio in Florida was built mostly on appreciation, not durable cash flow. And when the market turned, it turned fast.Rents dropped. Jobs disappeared. Occupancy slipped. Even with low leverage and built-in equity, many properties lost 50 to 60 percent of their value in one year. It wasn’t sustainable.Kevin explains how that experience reshaped his entire approach. Today, it’s all about conservative underwriting, real stress tests, and making sure properties can stand up to worst case scenarios.This one is a wake-up call for anyone still playing the appreciation game without a backstop. #RealEstateTruth #CashFlowOverHype #RiskManagement*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*Thank you to all of our listeners!!!
