  • #584 The Best Real Estate Opportunity Since 2010 — Featuring Chris Loeffler from Caliber
    Jul 3 2025

    In this insightful episode, Mat Sorensen sits down with Chris Loeffler, CEO of Caliber, to dissect the current state of the real estate market and why commercial real estate is presenting one of the best buying opportunities in over a decade. With over $2.9 billion in assets under management and development, Chris breaks down the macroeconomic and local market conditions creating value in distressed assets—especially in hotels, industrial, and multifamily sectors.

    They explore how real estate investors can reposition capital, the shift from the traditional 60/40 portfolio, and how individual investors—accredited or not—can participate in today’s unique opportunities through direct deals or diversified funds. This is a must-listen for anyone managing a real estate portfolio, considering Opportunity Zones, or exploring how to use self-directed IRAs to tap into alternative investments.
