The Psychology of Contrarian Investing with Brent Guyor

Everyone talks about contrarian investing.

Very few people actually do it.

In this episode, Brent Guyor from Ironton Capital explains why investors often struggle to buy during downturns even when opportunities are clearly forming. Brent shares lessons from buying real estate during the 2008 housing collapse in Denver and why he believes today’s multifamily market may offer similar long term opportunities.

The conversation also explores investor psychology, herd mentality, and how media narratives shape investment decisions. Brent also explains Ironton Capital’s diversified investment strategy and breaks down how medical receivable factoring works inside one of their income funds.
