Beyond IRR
Beyond IRR is a real estate investing podcast focused on what actually drives performance — not just the headline returns.
Hosted by the team behind BHPA, this show breaks down the metrics, structures, and assumptions behind real estate deals. Each episode goes deeper into topics like IRR, cash flow durability, leverage risk, volatility, capital structure, and exit sensitivity — helping investors think more critically about how returns are generated.
If you want to move beyond surface-level analysis and understand the mechanics behind the numbers, this podcast is for you.

The Metric Hierarchy — How Investment Outcomes Are Actually Created
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Not all metrics are equal — and not all metrics should guide decisions.
In this episode, we introduce the BHPA Metric Hierarchy, a framework that organizes real estate metrics based on causality rather than popularity. We break down the four layers that actually drive investment outcomes: Operating Reality, Capital Efficiency, Risk & Stability Modifiers, and Long-Term Outcome Metrics.
Through practical examples, we explain why metrics like IRR and equity multiple are outputs, not steering controls — and why the real drivers of performance begin with cash flow, leverage, and structural resilience.
Because in real estate investing, the metrics that matter most are often the ones furthest from the headline.
