Andy Weiner: Retail & Shopping Mall Sectors are making a COMEBACK

Today, I welcome Andy Weiner to The Gould Mine.

Andy is the CEO of RockStep Capital, a real estate investment group specializing in retail and shopping mall investments. His firm currently owns over 9.7 million square feet of retail space across the country!

In this episode, Andy shares his journey from running a family clothing business to becoming a major player in the retail investment space. He breaks down the ins and outs of shopping mall investments, how the rules have changed since the rise of Amazon, and why retail is making a major comeback despite the headlines.

We also dive into RockStep’s unique investment strategy—leveraging local investors and lenders to minimize risk and maximize returns. Andy reveals why enclosed malls are still a prime opportunity, the shifting dynamics of retail, and how his firm is acquiring assets at 12-20% cap rates while generating strong cash flow for investors.

If you've ever wondered whether retail investing is dead (spoiler: it’s not), this episode is for you.

Looking to build lasting wealth through alternative investments? You’re in the right place.

If you’re new here, my name is Danny Gould. I’m the founder and CEO of Gould Capital, a private equity firm specializing in exclusive commercial real estate and other alternative investments. We connect investors with elite opportunities - investments that aren’t public, aren’t cookie-cutter, and most importantly, aren’t what your financial advisor is pitching.

Here’s how I got here…

1) Started as a pre-med student at Stanford University, but a lifelong dream of building the biggest hotel-casino on the Las Vegas Strip ignited my passion for real estate.
2) Transitioned to residential real estate, driving over a quarter billion dollars in sales, and became an industry leader in one of the most competitive markets in the world.
3) Decided to finally pursue my Hotel dreams and founded GMS Ventures alongside two experienced Hoteliers, with a total Hotel Portfolio Size of over $300M
4) Leveraged my expertise and relationships to build Gould Capital - which empowers investors to access transformative commercial real estate deals and alternative investments.
