On this week’s episode of Ritter on Real Estate, Kent Ritter interviews John Casmon. They break down a real case study: a 2019-built, B-class Louisville asset bought in 2021 where the team created value through operations and paired the plan with stable, assumed fixed-rate debt. John shares how they tightened collections, navigated a surprise tax reassessment, and used a “process, people, partner” framework to sharpen property management. They wrap with why Midwest absorption/supply dynamics matter and how conservative underwriting created multiple ways to win.

Where to Find John:

Key Takeaways

  • Align debt structure with your business plan; fixed long-term debt lowered risk and created stability
  • Value-add isn’t always about renovations—operational efficiencies can drive just as much upside
  • Expect the unexpected: delinquency spikes, tax surprises, and other challenges require proactive pivots
  • Management can make or break deals; clear KPIs and the right on-site PM are critical
  • Conservative underwriting and multiple ways to “win” set projects up to outperform expectations
