Every week, the principals of GoodLife Housing Partners, Rohan Gupta and David N. Fong, sit down for a candid conversation that feels more like pulling up a chair in their office than tuning into a formal broadcast. Their Investing with GoodLife | Real Estate News, Investing Tips, & Current Events podcast is built on the straightforward premise that the best insights often come from open discussion. They delve into the practical realities of the market, from student housing and workforce apartments to broader economic shifts, without the jargon. You’ll hear their direct analysis of recent news, tactical advice drawn from their own experience building a portfolio since founding the firm in 2015, and unscripted debates on trends that impact investors right now. Based in Los Angeles, they bring a grounded, West Coast perspective to national conversations. This isn’t about theoretical strategies; it’s a window into the ongoing dialogue between two active partners navigating the complexities of real estate investment together. For anyone curious about the thought process behind a privately-held investment company, this weekly forum provides a consistently authentic and detailed look.
