Today, I welcome Brian Ferguson to The Investing Secrets Podcast. Brian is the founder of Fergmar Capital and today he shares how he has built a 20-year real estate career spanning single-family investing, multifamily acquisitions, and shopping center ownership. He highlights the core principles that have stayed with him from the beginning, including responsiveness, creativity, and the ability to structure deals in ways that create opportunity even in changing markets. Brian also dives into why he expanded from multifamily into neighborhood retail, how he evaluates occupancy, lease terms, and value-add potential in shopping centers, and what he sees coming next for commercial real estate in 2026. With two decades of hands-on experience as both an active operator and passive investor, he distills lessons that are just as valuable for someone getting started in real estate as they are for seasoned investors looking to navigate market cycles, protect downside, and build long-term wealth.

Looking to build lasting wealth through alternative investments? You’re in the right place.

If you’re new here, my name is Danny Gould. I’m the founder and CEO of Gould Capital, a private equity firm specializing in exclusive commercial real estate and other alternative investments. We connect investors with elite opportunities - investments that aren’t public, aren’t cookie-cutter, and most importantly, aren’t what your financial advisor is pitching.

Here’s how I got here…

1) Started as a pre-med student at Stanford University, but a lifelong dream of building the biggest hotel-casino on the Las Vegas Strip ignited my passion for real estate.
2) Transitioned to residential real estate, driving over a quarter billion dollars in sales, and became an industry leader in one of the most competitive markets in the world.
3) Decided to finally pursue my Hotel dreams and founded GMS Ventures alongside two experienced Hoteliers, with a total Hotel Portfolio Size of over $300M
4) Leveraged my expertise and relationships to build Gould Capital - which empowers investors to access transformative commercial real estate deals and alternative investments.
