Episode Description
On this week’s episode, I have the pleasure of welcoming to the show Dan Hurwitz, founder and CEO of Raider Hill Advisors, a private retail real estate investment and advisory firm. Over the course of his career, Dan has held a variety of positions including CEO at DDR Corp., interim CEO of Brixmor Property Group and Senior Vice President and Director of Real Estate and Corporate Development for Boscov’s Department Store, Inc. Tune in to hear how a liberal arts education and a major in History helped shape the way he dealt with real estate, as well as how his first job after college set him up for a passion in retail. Dan also shares stories about his late mentors and how they helped facilitate a successful career in real estate investment and taught him at an early age a lifetime of experience. Later in the show, I also welcome Marious Sjulsen of Equity Multiple, Peter Steier of Avison Young’s Capital Markets Group and Stephen Denardo of RiverOak Investment Corp. for a panel!
Real Estate Investing – Live from New York

Real Estate Investing, Live from New York will provide you with everything you need to know about investing and operating commercial real estate. Although the show is based in New York City, it explores the fundamentals of investing in all asset classes across the nation.
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of TV and radio shows that deal with investing in the stock market and yet almost none that cover exclusively commercial real estate.
This is not a “get rich quick” or “how to flip homes” show. We will teach you step-by-step how to source, acquire, improve and operate commercial real estate. The show will start with a recap of New York City commercial real estate news, followed by an investor spotlight with a legend in the business, and then feature industry experts covering every aspect of the business.
