Arc 1

The Anti–Bridge Debt Convert: Lessons from the 2021 Frenzy (and what it cost)

Hook: He’s unusually direct about how “the Fed controls your deal” when you buy with variable bridge debt—and that line is a door into what Granite Towers did (or refused to do) when everyone else chased easy leverage. (bestevercre.com)

This arc frames Dan as a real-time “market-cycle student” who watched a herd mentality form (2021 bridge debt, aggressive underwriting, cap-rate compression) and decided to swim against it—or learned the hard way and adjusted. In the Best Ever transcript, he explicitly calls out bridge debt as a core example of following the herd, and he articulates the hidden truth: operators don’t control cash flow when interest expense is floating—central bank policy does. (bestevercre.com)

The differentiated interview angle: don’t ask “what’s your strategy?” Ask what changed inside the firm across 2022–2025: underwriting spreads, exit cap assumptions, debt terms, reserves, renovation pacing, and investor communication when reality diverged from pro formas. The audience will care because this is where many operators get vague; Dan has already shown he’ll name the risk plainly—now you can press for specifics, decision logs, and scars.

Key Questions:

“In 2021–2022, what specific debt structures did you refuse to use, and what did that decision cost you in deals you didn’t win?” (bestevercre.com)
“Where did Granite Towers get hit anyway—insurance, payroll, concessions, capex overruns—and what KPI told you first?”
“When you say ‘get your debt right,’ define ‘right’ today: fixed vs. floating, term, IO, DSCR, and reserve philosophy.” (bestevercre.com)
“What’s the most uncomfortable investor conversation you had in the last cycle—and what did you change in reporting because of it?”
“What’s your current ‘red flag’ list that makes you walk from a deal even if the broker says it’s a home run?”

Arc 2

From X Games to Capital Frameworks: Why “Structure” Became the Product

Hook: Dan isn’t just selling apartments—he’s increasingly selling a theory of capital placement (“tax buckets,” “structure problem”), which hints the real product might be investor behavior change, not deals. (granitetowersequity.group)

This arc starts with the origin story he repeats: watching talented athletes crash financially after the spotlight fades, and concluding it was never about income—it was about where money is placed and how it’s structured. Granite Towers’ “blueprint” funnel (high earners reducing taxes 15–20% is implied marketing language) reveals a broader ambition: positioning the firm as a wealth strategy hub where multifamily is one instrument inside a larger map. (granitetowersequity.group)

The deeper narrative: athletes (and high-earning professionals) have a volatility problem—career length, identity, spending, tax drag, and lack of durable cash flow. Dan’s “capital framework” suggests a worldview: your financial outcome is governed by structure (income type, tax treatment, debt, and time horizon) more than hustle. That’s a compelling, human arc—especially if you interrogate what he learned the hard way, which mentors shaped this thinking, and which “common investor advice” he now believes is flat wrong.

Key Questions:

“You say the problem isn’t income, it’s structure. What was your first structural mistake with money—and what did it cost?” (granitetowersequity.group)
“Walk us through your ‘three tax buckets’ in plain English—then tell me where you see high earners fooling themselves.” (granitetowersequity.group)
“Do you think Granite Towers is a real estate company, or a ‘capital placement’ company that happens to buy apartments?”
“What’s the uncomfortable truth about ‘tax strategy’ marketing in real estate—where does it become misleading?”
“Which part of pro-athlete culture (ego, risk-taking, identity, entourage) actually shows up in investor behavior?”

Selected arc will guide question generation
