Home Press & appearances

Press, podcasts, and lunch with anyone serious.

I'll do the occasional podcast or interview when a host actually wants to dig in. But the conversations I value most are local and in person — if you're serious about investing in your market, reach out and let's get lunch. I'm genuinely glad to meet people doing the work.

In person

Let's grab lunch.

I meet investors, agents, and anyone serious about real estate over lunch all the time — a local REIA meeting, a coffee, a sit-down. If you're working a market and want to talk shop, reach out. No agenda, no pitch. I do the occasional podcast too.

Booking Alan

For podcast producers and journalists.

I'm a happy guest on shows whose hosts actually prepare. Here's the short version of what to expect.

Topics I can talk substantively about.

  • Coaching and renting local lead sites as alternatives to RE courses — why month-to-month coaching and renting a ranked local site work where $5,000 courses don't, who's a fit for each, and what actually moves the needle.
  • The 2007–2012 REO era — what it was like to buy in a market everyone else was fleeing, and the durable lessons from that period.
  • Renting vs. building lead generation — why most investors burn a year on SEO, and how renting a ranked local site changes the math when you enter a new market.
  • Inheritance and family dynamics — the human side of estate property, multi-heir conflict, and how investors should think about working with grieving families.
  • Reading any market — how I think about foreclosure data, supply, and timing, and the framework I use to size up an unfamiliar market anywhere in the country.

What I won't do.

  • "Get rich quick" framing of any kind.
  • Sponsorship-heavy shows where I'm pitching a product. (I don't have one to pitch.)
  • Shows that haven't bothered to read this page or look at the rest of the site.
