I know this topic comes up from time to time, but I’d love a refresh—especially with the recent explosion of Substacks, podcasts, and YouTube channels covering a wide range of topics, including real estate.
I’m less interested in content focused on learning the fundamentals of the business and more interested in deep dives into current events, market structure, and industry trends.
A few that I’ve found interesting lately:
- The Promote (https://ten31.beehiiv.com/) – Hitem (who’s active on WSO) does a great job analyzing CRE current events in depth.
- Lewis Enterprises (https://www.lewisenterprises.blog/) – Hunter (last name escapes me) provides deep insights into market structure, public real estate investing, and major transactions (e.g., Blackstone’s purchase of AIR Communities).
- Walker & Dunlop Podcast – The quality of guests varies, but when they’re good, the conversations are always worth a listen.
Curious to hear what other valuable content people are following!
Trepp Wire is solid
Just found this—looks like a solid tool for real estate underwriting. Anyone tried DealDesk CRE?
I haven't. Curious to learn more. Can you share?
The models are well-structured, easy to understand, and customizable, which makes it useful for investors and underwriters looking for efficiency.
Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some excellent online resources for real estate enthusiasts looking for deep dives into current events, market structures, and industry trends:
Podcasts:
YouTube Channels:
Websites and Blogs:
Books (for additional depth):
Additional Recommendations:
These resources should provide a well-rounded view of the industry, from current events to in-depth market analysis. Let me know if you'd like more tailored suggestions!
Sources: Are there any articles, podcast episodes, interviews, etc. you'd recommend people interested in RE look at?, What websites, newsletters, literature, etc do you read on a daily/weekly basis?, Where do you get your RE news and information?, Real Estate Podcats,
X (Twitter)- follow as many people as you can- replace passive scrolling on instagram, TikTok etc with passive learning. Low stakes way of soaking up deal flow/knowledge.
Appreciate the shout-out! Hunter is a friend and a contributor to The Promote so it's especially nice to see him alongside us here.
Couple more things I'd add
1) For broad primers on specific parts of the market, highly recommend the following Odd Lots episodes
Institutional Multifamily w/ Cortland's Lee Everett:
Kicking the can in CRE w Cohen & Steers Rich Hill
The Ultra-Luxury Parallel Universe with yours truly
2) For a wonkier look at emerging business models in CRE I enjoy Brad Hargreaves' Thesis Driven
3) RETwit used to be GREAT but has definitely lost its mojo. There are a few accounts still worth checking out, but the algo is no longer kind.
4) We're launching a weekly 25m podcast for The Promote in late Q1 - it'll be me and an ex-institutional guy co-hosting. Stay tuned for that- short and spicy CRE nuggets
Thanks, Hiten! Great to not only see more sources, but specific episodes of substacks to check out. Best of luck with the podcast. I know it'll be a banger.
