Fred Karlton

ABOUT THE EPISODE

What if the collapse of an entire financial sector could be the biggest opportunity of your life? Join us as we chat with Fred Karlton, President of Karlton Investment Group, a seasoned real estate investor who turned the chaos of the 1980s Savings and Loan crisis into a goldmine. His tales of strategic maneuvering and creative problem-solving offer a masterclass in making the most of economic downturns.

From the rise of remote work to the shifting landscapes of major urban office spaces, we dissect the evolving trends in the real estate and banking sectors. Fred helps us draw revealing parallels between past and present financial crises, shedding light on how today’s challenges—like rising insurance costs and taxes—mirror those of yesteryear.

We also explore why Miami’s business climate stands out as an anomaly amidst nationwide economic pressures, and how lower crime rates and no state income tax are inviting a business influx.

As we broaden our scope to encompass national economic challenges, Fred offers his expert analysis on the impacts of high interest rates, supply chain disruptions, and nationalistic policies. He discusses the strategic potential of mortgage buying and direct investment amidst market volatility, painting a picture of opportunity in times of crisis.

Whether it’s the complexities of financing large projects or navigating the role of smaller regional banks, Fred’s insights are a beacon for investors seeking to thrive despite economic adversity. Don’t miss this deep dive into the intricate world of real estate investment, where every challenge is just a hidden opportunity waiting to be seized.
