On this week’s episode of Multifamily Mastery, John Casmon interviews David Hrizak. With nearly three decades of experience across asset classes, David shares his evolution from Chicago broker to vertically integrated developer and investor. He recounts the pivotal $4M townhome project during the Great Recession, the sudden loss of his partner, and how relationships with community banks helped him pivot, survive, and ultimately thrive. David explains why he shifted from multifamily to commercial—highlighting the stability of long-term leases, the value of tenant credit, and how to structure triple-net leases that pass expenses through to tenants. He also stresses the importance of asking sponsors about their worst deals, vetting relationships, and learning from experienced partners before diving into commercial real estate.
