Summary

On this episode of Beyond Multifamily, Ash Patel interviews Logan Freeman (“Mr. Kansas City”), an investor–developer–broker who’s bullish on select office and small-bay industrial. He explains how Class B/C office can work today—smaller suites, 1–3 year leases, rigorous OPEX/insurance diligence, and lender-ready liquidity—while outlining why flex/industrial has real tailwinds. Logan breaks down Kansas City’s diversified growth story and how to win broker attention with a crisp buy box, fast feedback cadence, and authentic LinkedIn presence (plus smart AI to package data fast). He also shares lessons on time management, delegation, and a humbling historic rehab that reinforced the value of radical transparency in deals.

the world still runs on oil. In fact, demand keeps climbing. But here's what most investors don't

0:10.8

realize. A lot of institutional capital has actually pulled back from oil and gas because of

0:15.8

ESG mandates and political pressure. That's created a huge gap in production and a big opportunity for

individual investors. That's where Aspen's oil and gas fund comes in. Their last fund has

delivered six straight quarters of 15% annualized cash yield from producing oil wells. With their

current fund, they're targeting 29% cash on cash returns in over 10 years and 8.83 times equity

multiple. I've personally been impressed with the way Aspen approaches a space balancing the

stability of producing wells with the upside of carefully selected drilling projects. And here's a

0:50.7

bonus for best ever listeners. Aspen has lowered their minimum investment from $150,000

down to $100,000. One of their investors, Terry, put it best. We were new to oil and gas
