Who Joe Fairless is
Joe Fairless is co-founder of Ashcroft Capital, a multifamily investment firm, and host of The Best Ever CRE Show. The show says it "airs seven days a week" and has "over 30 million downloads"; both figures are self-reported. Apple Podcasts episode numbering had reached JF3528 in November 2026, consistent with a daily schedule over many years. Ashcroft-linked SEC filings show at least $413.2 million sold, per CrowdfundedWealth. The same source reports that Ashcroft paused Class A distributions on its Value-Add Fund I in late 2023 and made a 19.7% capital call on one property in April 2024. The only federal lawsuit located, an employee case, was dismissed with prejudice in October 2025 and did not involve investors; state-court and arbitration records were not searched. His audience is mostly passive and commercial real estate investors, accredited investors evaluating syndications and operators studying commercial deals, rather than people running residential deal pipelines.
