In this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan welcomes Jonah Bamberger, Managing Partner and Executive Chairman of Aulder Capital. Jonah shares the story behind Aulder’s growth, from modest value-add acquisitions in Brooklyn to overseeing large-scale multifamily portfolios, hospitality ventures, and international development projects in Portugal.



What started as a small side investment between friends evolved into a full-time business as Aulder Capital seized opportunities in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. Jonah discusses how the firm continues to navigate shifting market conditions, regulatory landscapes, and strategic pivots between asset classes, geographies, and hold periods. He also sheds light on the realities of managing thousands of rental units, addressing operational challenges, and fostering communities while staying focused on long-term performance.

Whether you're an active investor, a passive partner, or exploring global real estate opportunities, this episode offers a candid look at Aulder’s disciplined, opportunity-driven approach to building resilient, diversified portfolios. Watch it here.
