In a recent episode of the Main Street Business Podcast, where I was honored to be a guest with Mark J. Kohler, we tackled one of the biggest challenges facing real estate investors right now:
Raising capital in today’s uncertain market.
For years, it was easy…
A decent pro forma and a little confidence could get you funded.
But in 2025?
Investors are nervous, capital is cautious, and the rules of the game have changed.
In this episode, we dig into:
Why most investors are frozen in fear (and how to break through)The difference between 506(b) and 506(c) — and why it matters more than everHow I raised over $100M using systems, not sales pitchesWhat makes LPs say “yes” (even when the market says “no”)And how to attract high-net-worth capital… even if you’re not an “influencer”This was originally released as a guest episode on the Main Street Business Podcast, but it was so packed with insights we decided to repost it on Cash Flow Connections.
If you’re trying to raise capital right now — or plan to — this is required listening.
Talk soon, Hunter Thompson

Most investors obsess over returns, tax strategy, and estate planning…
But what if the most critical legacy you leave behind isn’t financial?
In today’s episode of Cashflow Connections, I sat down with Brett Swarts—best-selling author, tax strategist, and host of the Capital Gains Tax Solutions podcast—to explore something far deeper:
The mission, vision, and values that should guide your family’s wealth.

Inside the episode, Brett shares:
The 5 core values his family lives by How to hold a “family board meeting” that strengthens generational bonds Why entitlement destroys legacy and the mindset shift that prevents it The exact questions he asks his kids every single day How to pass on purpose, not just propertyIf you have kids, plan to have kids, or care about what your wealth truly means...this episode is a must-listen.
