In this Episode 193 of Investing with Good Life, Rohan and David dives into Blackstone's $62B capital raise and their cautious $6.1B real estate allocation amid tariff concerns. They discuss the federal takeover of Penn Station's $7B renovation, California becoming the world's 4th largest economy, and promising investment outlooks for senior housing and temperature-controlled storage. Plus, Rohan and Mr. Fong share their latest movie and podcast recommendations.

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.
