In this episode of The Real Estate Investing Club, I sit down with Jeremy Yost, US Navy veteran, CEO of Ironhold Asset Management, and managing partner of Innovative Development Partners. Jeremy has 17 years of real estate investing experience and oversees more than 2,000 units across 56 properties spanning multifamily, assisted living, and hospitality real estate. If you want to learn real estate development, workforce housing, and property management strategies, this episode delivers real estate investing tips you can use today. 🎙️

WHO IS JEREMY YOST 🧭
Jeremy grew up watching his father work in affordable housing development, and that early exposure planted the seed for his own real estate investing journey. After leaving the US Navy, Jeremy took over management of his father's 100 unit senior housing community, which grew into Ironhold Asset Management, the property management platform he runs today with partners Amber Hendrickson and Rain Becker.

WHY PROPERTY MANAGEMENT BUILDS BETTER INVESTORS 🔑
Jeremy explains why starting his career in property management gave him a massive competitive edge as a developer and investor. Understanding tenant relations and day to day operations helps investors underwrite smarter multifamily investing deals and avoid costly mistakes many new developers make.

GROUND UP DEVELOPMENT AND MARKET ANALYSIS 📊
We dig into how Jeremy underwrites ground up development deals, including the market analysis metrics he studies before breaking ground. Jeremy shares how he evaluates new supply and rent projections to avoid an overbuilt market, a critical skill for real estate development and multifamily investing.

WORKFORCE HOUSING AS A RECESSION RESISTANT ASSET 🏢
Jeremy breaks down why workforce multifamily housing remains his top real estate investment strategy, plus how buying Low Income Housing Tax Credit properties after compliance periods expire can create long term value for affordable housing investors.

HOSPITALITY REAL ESTATE AND HOTEL INVESTING 🏨
Jeremy walks through developing and operating a Hilton Garden Inn with a full convention center, and how hospitality real estate investing differs from multifamily property management. Great insight for anyone considering hotel investments.

SURVIVING A COVID FINANCING CRISIS 💪
Jeremy shares an honest story about losing financing on his hotel project mid construction during COVID, nearly going bankrupt, and personally funding the shortfall. He made over 300 lender calls over 18 months before securing financing, a powerful lesson in persistence for real estate investors.

THE PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING PASSION PROJECT 🏡
Jeremy's favorite deal is a 25 unit permanent supportive housing development built in just 89 working days for individuals facing homelessness, proving real estate can create community impact while still making financial sense.

THE HOUSTON REAL ESTATE MARKET AND EXPANSION 📈
Jeremy explains why Houston, the fourth largest city in America, is becoming his new focus for acquisitions after years investing throughout the Midwest, and why this booming Texas market is attracting so much multifamily investing capital right now.

USING AI IN REAL ESTATE INVESTING 🤖
Jeremy and I talk about how artificial intelligence is transforming real estate operations, from automated dashboards to AI powered analysis of property data, saving real estate investors hours every single week.

FINAL THOUGHTS 🎯
Jeremy's story proves that persistence, starting from the ground floor, and building genuine relationships are the real keys to long term success in real estate investing and financial freedom.
