    On this episode of the Passive Income Playbook, Pascal Wagner interviews Jim Pfeifer, founding member of Left Field Investors (now rebranded as Passive Pockets) and long-time limited partner (LP) investor. Jim shares his journey from high school teacher to financial advisor to full-time LP, highlighting the transition from stock market speculation to real estate investing for cash flow. They discuss the pitfalls of early passive investments, the importance of vetting operators (especially in volatile markets), and why community is the most valuable due diligence tool an LP can have. Jim also shares his philosophy of not being anyone’s “guinea pig” and why this current market environment offers LPs unprecedented clarity in identifying quality operators.

    JF 3912: Recapitalization, Rent Growth, and Redevelopment ft. Brian Ker
    May 21 2025
    On this episode of Beyond Multifamily, Amanda Cruise interviews Brian Ker, President of Snowball Developments, about his value-add industrial investment strategy in the tri-state area. Brian shares his journey from institutional brokerage in Canada to running a 2 million square foot industrial portfolio in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. He explains why buying “ugly buildings on great dirt” in dense, urban infill markets creates the best long-term opportunities, and dives into the importance of underwriting downside risk, particularly in volatile interest rate environments. The conversation also explores how strategic recapitalization, operator creativity, and smart broker relationships help maximize value—even in challenging market cycles.
