The Equity Dismay No One Talks About — Until It’s Too Late

Decisions are emotionally driven.

In this market, emotional delay is costing LPs, GPs, and syndicators everything — but they won’t feel it for another 90 days.

In Episode 5 of Confronting the Impossible, Leo sits down with Amir Korangy live from The Real Deal, for a real talk about sentiment vs. reality, and why the market’s current “vibrancy” is masking the start of an equity collapse.

The Foreclosures Are Just the Surface

Amir brings a sharp perspective: everyone’s watching foreclosures — but few are paying attention to what causes them.

Leo explains:

“What’s not being reported is the equity transfers happening behind closed doors — among families, friends, and partnerships falling apart. That’s where the distress starts.”

This is the quiet phase before the lawsuits, the buyouts, and the full collapse.

Equity Dismay: The Next Market Phase

Forget about lenders for a moment. The real distress is internal:

• LPs turning on GPs
• Investors asking “Where’s the money?”
• Decades-long partnerships dissolving
• Unfiled lawsuits quietly building in the background

Leo calls it equity dismay — and if you’re not seeing it yet, you will.

Real Estate Is an Emotional Game

The market is in the synapse — between cause and effect. Leo predicts the pain will hit by Q3 as interest resets, debt maturities, and emotional fractures converge.

“This isn’t about math. It’s about trust breaking, fear building, and delayed response.

From Mayweather to Mayor Adams — and the Truth in Between

Amir shares insider updates from Steve Witkoff, Mayor Eric Adams, and Floyd Mayweather — from Brooklyn’s second-tallest tower to a Trump-linked crypto project. But beneath the buzz, the pressure is building.

Even the people smiling on stage are prepping behind the scenes..
