]]> 2959 no Is Passive Income Still Relevant in Today's Economy? ep. 354 Are you wondering if passive income from real estate investments still holds up during economic downturns? In this insightful episode of REady2Scale, host Ellie Perlman explores this critical question from her HQ in California. As a seasoned investor and the founder of Blue Lake Capital, Ellie delves deeply into current market dynamics, underscoring the resilience and inflation-hedging potential of multifamily real estate. Through her expert analysis, listeners gain a sophisticated understanding of why these investments remain valuable even in challenging economic conditions. Key Insights: -Economic Context: Ellie discusses the cautious approach of investors and institutions who are now re-engaging with the real estate market after a period of waiting out uncertain economic signals, including interest rate changes by the Federal Reserve. -Historical Performance: Drawing on data from past recessions, such as the 2008 financial crisis, Ellie highlights the stable returns of multifamily properties compared to other investment types like stocks. -Inflation and Rent Dynamics: The episode covers how multifamily properties can combat inflation through regular rental increases, reflecting on the sector’s ability to adjust rents annually or biannually in line with inflation. -Investment Strategies: With a more conservative market approach prevalent today, Ellie stresses the importance of prudent underwriting and choosing fixed-rate debts over variable ones. She explains that current investments are structured with potential economic contractions in mind, making them potentially safer. -Market Selection: Ellie contrasts different U.S. markets, advising on the potential of places like the Raleigh-Durham area while cautioning against more volatile markets like San Francisco. Takeaways for Listeners: Listeners can gain an understanding of why and how passive income from multifamily investments remains viable, even in less favorable economic conditions. Ellie encourages investors to perform due diligence and not shy away from investing if they are equipped with the right knowledge and strategies. This episode is particularly valuable for accredited investors looking to make informed decisions about real estate investments amidst a fluctuating economic landscape. Ellie’s insights provide a realistic yet optimistic view of the opportunities that still exist for generating passive income through real estate. Prefer to listen in? View the transcripts here.

Learn the keys to navigating the family office landscape, the significance of patience in wealth-building, and the pivotal role of relationships in this latest episode. Ron Diamond, Founder & Chairman of Diamond Wealth, delves into the evolution of family offices, emphasizing their growing significance in the investment landscape. He shares invaluable insights into their challenges, their inefficiencies, and how many are now facing a critical juncture in their development. Join the conversation as we delve into the critical elements of patient capital, diversification, and the power of staying focused within your investment domain. Discover how these factors shape the decision-making process for family offices in the real estate landscape. From adapting to market shifts to the challenges posed by rising interest rates, the podcast sheds light on the changing dynamics of real estate investments. Explore how family offices approach buy-and-hold strategies, refinance, and capitalize on market fluctuations for long-term wealth creation. Key Takeaways: Patient Capital Prevails: Family offices, with their patient capital approach, often hold assets for extended periods, allowing them to ride market waves and maximize returns without the constraints of shorter investment horizons. Specialization & Focus: Staying in your investment lane matters. Family offices tend to invest where they've made their initial fortunes, leveraging their expertise in specific sectors such as real estate, tech, or other industries where they've excelled. Relationships Over Transactions: Building trust and relationships are paramount in the family office sphere. They prioritize trust in their dealings, preferring to work with individuals or entities they know and trust over simply seeking the best-performing funds. Long-Term Strategies Over Flipping: Unlike some institutional investors, family offices often prefer buy-and-hold strategies in real estate. They aim for sustained growth rather than short-term profits through flipping assets. Diversification Within Expertise: While they specialize, family offices might diversify within their expertise area. For instance, in real estate, they may hold various property types but tend to avoid areas where they lack substantial expertise. Adapting to Market Changes: They adapt their strategies to market shifts. With the changing interest rates and potential economic fluctuations, family offices navigate these changes by making informed decisions and capitalizing on opportunities. Education & Relationship-Oriented Events: They value educational content and prefer relationship-focused events over typical sales-pitch conferences. Such events provide insights, fostering connections, and facilitating knowledge sharing. Join us as we delve deep, challenge the status quo, and unveil the changing mindset of real estate investors.

Investment Preferences: Family offices tend to stick with asset classes and investment vehicles they are familiar with, often staying loyal to what initially generated their wealth. Multifamily real estate investments are a favorite among family offices due to their stability and income potential. Some family offices are showing interest in direct real estate investments, preferring more control over their assets. Wealth Disparity: Family offices vary widely in size, with the majority having a net worth over $1 billion and a select few exceeding $10 billion. Smaller family offices often focus on preserving capital, while larger ones may diversify more aggressively. The sheer amount of cash and liquid assets held by family offices means they are positioned to capitalize on investment opportunities, especially during economic downturns. Investment Trends: Despite changing economic conditions, family offices generally maintain a consistent portfolio allocation, although they may adjust the order of their top concerns. Watch out for their increasing interest in private credit markets as traditional lenders tighten their lending criteria. Family offices are keen on maintaining liquidity and often have substantial dry powder ready to be deployed into the markets. Join us as we delve deep, challenge the status quo, and unveil the changing mindset of real estate investors.

]]> 2089 no Your Space, Your Profit: Unlocking the Power of Innovative Storage Potentials with Joseph Woodbury, ep 315 Join us this week for a very creative and innovative approach to yet another passive income stream! Featuring Joseph Woodbury, CEO of Neighbor.Com, this episode delves into strategies for optimizing underutilized spaces in properties, from converting non-performing floors in office buildings to storage, to maximizing returns from excess parking, and everything in between. Whether you're an everyday passive investor, or an operator faced with challenges in the office sector, this episode offers insights into how individual and smaller real estate investors can enhance their cash-on-cash returns. If you are looking to explore innovative ways to increase your real estate income, this is an episode not to miss. Key Takeaways: Optimizing Underutilized Spaces: There's potential in spaces that are often overlooked. For instance, underperforming floors in office buildings, especially the first or second floors that are less desired for leasing, can be converted into storage spaces. Parking Space Utilization: Excess parking, especially those that remain unused, can be rented out to the community. This provides an avenue for consistent cash flow. Some multifamily providers even hand over all their parking management to third parties to ensure maximum utilization. Challenges in the Office Sector: The office real estate sector is currently facing challenges, with many spaces, especially in commercial office areas, seeing reduced demand. This presents both challenges and opportunities for investors. Residential Conversion: While there's talk about converting commercial spaces into residential ones, it's only feasible in specific circumstances. The building's structure and location play a significant role in determining the viability of such conversions. Alternative Investment Opportunities: Some investors are exploring alternative property investments, such as purchasing lots for vehicle storage, which can offer higher yields compared to traditional real estate investments. Importance of Loving the Craft: For long-term success and to avoid burnout, it's crucial to be passionate about what you do in the real estate sector. This passion can drive consistent growth and innovation. Support Systems: Building a robust support system, be it family or community, can provide the necessary energy and motivation to continue in the challenging world of real estate.

]]> 1821 no Refinancing Revolution: How $1.2 Trillion of Loans Will Shape the Multifamily Market with Ellie Perlman, ep 309 What will the impact be for multifamily investors with the upcoming trillion dollars of loans eligible for refinancing in 2025? Listen in as Blue Lake’s CEO, Ellie Perlman, dives headfirst into the potential impact for real estate investors. Uncover the interplay between record-low interest rates and the ever-growing demand for multifamily housing in this new episode which draws from National Multifamily Housing Council to reveal the truth about the $2.7 trillion in multifamily assets that are primed for refinancing, with $1.2 trillion set to be refinanced by 2025. In this episode, you’ll learn about balloon payments and options available to you as loan terms come to an end. Learn how sponsors determine whether to sell an asset or explore new lender opportunities. With trillions of dollars in loan proceeds set to flood the market, there are endless financial possibilities, so it's essential to be cautious as an investor how these decisions are made. Follow along as Ellie highlights the relationship between interest rates and market demand, guiding investors to make wise choices in promising markets and align with industry leaders for potential success. There are plenty of opportunities for both borrowers and investors in the multifamily market, and this episode will explain why. 6 Key Takeaways: There is a significant wave of refinancing in the multifamily housing market, with approximately $1 trillion of loans expected to be refinanced by the end of 2025. This presents both opportunities and challenges for investors and borrowers. As a result of the large amount of loan proceeds that will be returned to lenders, there will be increased liquidity in the market. This can make it easier for investors to access new loans and provide opportunities for buying and selling properties. Lenders will become more selective in choosing borrowers and assets to lend to. They will likely favor borrowers with strong financials and a track record of success. Investors should focus on investing in strong markets and partnering with reputable sponsors to increase their chances of securing favorable terms. Interest rates may rise as lenders become more selective, so investors need to carefully evaluate the potential returns and risks associated with their investments. Smaller operators and borrowers may face challenges in obtaining favorable terms due to increased competition from more established firms. It is important for borrowers to maintain a strong financial position and track record to stand out to lenders. Investors should exercise patience and carefully evaluate investment opportunities. It is crucial to wait for the right deals with the right sponsors rather than rushing into any investment. Overall, the episode provides insights into the impact of the refinancing wave on the multifamily housing market and offers guidance for investors and borrowers to navigate the changing landscape effectively.

]]> 2269 no State of the Market: Insights on Deal Volume, Loan Assumptions, and Seller Expectations with Ellie Perlman, ep 306 In this episode of the REady2Scale podcast, host Ellie Perlman provides valuable insights into the current state of the multifamily real estate market. As the owner and operator of Blue Lake Capital, a company specializing in value-add multifamily properties, Ellie shares her observations and experiences from the first six months of 2023. Ellie discusses the recent increase in deal volume in the acquisition sector, with many attractive loan assumptions available to buyers. Sellers have adjusted their expectations, leading to a rise in deal flow and a significant increase in Broker Opinion of Value (BOV) volumes. While some institutions are reevaluating their strategies, those engaging in transactions are driven by the need to deploy capital or fulfill investor redemption requests.   Off-market transactions have decreased, indicating a shift towards more open-market deals. Sellers and brokers now prioritize vetting sponsors for their credibility and ability to execute, rather than solely focusing on the highest bid. Cap rates have experienced a slight uptick, ranging from 4.5% to 5.5%, influenced by rising interest rates and conservative lending practices.   Tune in to this episode to gain a comprehensive understanding of the multifamily market's current landscape and the factors shaping its dynamics in the second half of 2023. Please note that the information shared is based on Ellie Perlman's perspective and should not be considered official investment advice.   6 Key Takeaways:   1. Increase in deal volume: The acquisition side of the multifamily market has experienced a significant increase in deal volume in recent weeks. This suggests a growing interest in multifamily assets.   2.     Attractive loan assumptions: Many deals are being offered with attractive loan assumptions, such as low fixed interest rates for extended periods. This makes these deals more appealing to potential buyers.   3.     Realistic expectations from sellers: Sellers have adjusted their expectations on asset values, leading to more realistic pricing. This shift has resulted in a higher volume of deals and increased market activity.   4.     Importance of vetting sponsors: Sellers and brokers are placing greater emphasis on vetting potential buyers earlier in the process. This is due to previous instances of deals falling through, leading to a focus on selecting reliable and committed buyers.   5.     Cap rate fluctuations: Cap rates have slightly increased, ranging from 4.5% to 5.5%. Rising interest rates and conservative lending practices are influencing this trend.   6.     Institutional activity and investor considerations: Many institutions are currently recalibrating their strategies, while others are driven by the need to deploy capital or fulfill investor redemption requests. This influences the volume of assets being sold in the market.   These key takeaways provide insights into the multifamily real estate market, including deal volume, loan assumptions, seller expectations, vetting processes, cap rates, location considerations, market competitiveness, transaction types, and institutional activity.

]]> 1008 no How AI Creates a Competitive Edge for Investors with Thomas Foley, ep 305 We’re excited to bring you our deep-dive interview with Thomas Foley, the CEO of Archer, and Blue Lake Capital’s own Director of Acquisitions (West Coast), Tim Nguyen. In this discussion, we'll unpack how technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are revolutionizing multifamily investing and enhancing the underwriting process.   However, not all AI solutions are created equal. Thomas will delve into the nuances of differentiating quality AI products from the hyped-up contenders. The key lies in the uniqueness and accuracy of the dataset utilized, he notes.    Underwriting, which involves projecting an investment's performance from acquisition to sale, is crucial in the investment process. Thomas and his team at Archer have optimized this process by automating traditionally manual tasks like data extraction from financial statements, providing accurate results more rapidly than ever.   We'll also explore how Archer accelerates underwriting through automated calculations and comparisons, enabling investors to analyze more deals in a shorter span of time. But it's not just about quantity. Thomas emphasizes the importance of neighborhood analysis, weighing factors like crime scores, school quality, and employment rates.   Furthermore, Archer's platform stands out in its ability to allow for customized investment strategies, helping to refine investment options and identify suitable markets and properties. Their innovative tools such as the Investment Strategy Builder and the Rapid Screener save time and boost efficiency, streamlining the acquisition process.   We'll discuss how Archer's AI capabilities supercharge real estate teams' productivity, automating tasks like rent roll and financial statement parsing. By integrating multiple data sets, Archer's platform provides a comprehensive informational hub for market analysis and deal evaluation.   Key Takeaways:   Utilizing AI and Technology: The application of AI in real estate, particularly in multifamily investing, is revolutionizing the industry by enhancing data quality, increasing efficiency, and refining investment strategies. Adopting these technological advancements can significantly increase competitiveness and improve investment decision-making. Enhancing Underwriting with AI: AI can significantly accelerate and enhance the underwriting process. By automating calculations, comparisons, and data extraction from financial statements, AI tools like Archer allow investors to analyze more deals faster, saving time and increasing productivity. Balancing Human Decision-Making with AI: Despite the increasing influence of technology, human decision-making remains critical in real estate investing. AI and technology should be viewed as tools that supplement, not replace, human judgement. Their main purpose is to free up time by automating tasks and improving efficiency, allowing investors to focus on the more qualitative aspects of deal evaluation. Continuous Collaboration and Feedback: The ongoing dialogue between real estate professionals and technology providers is vital to refine and enhance the effectiveness of AI tools.

]]> 2365 no Transform Your Business Mindset to Thrive in Today's Real Estate Markets; ep 303 Imagine a world where tenants are seen as more than just rent-paying individuals and real estate goes beyond the typical investment mindset. Jake Clopton, is the president of Clopton Capital, a leading commercial mortgage brokerage firm. He joined us to share some of his insights and practical tips, offering a fresh perspective on achieving success in the dynamic world of real estate. With over 15 years of experience, Jake has honed his expertise and developed innovative strategies that have propelled his success in real estate. He brings a unique perspective on the evolving dynamics of the market and he highlights several key trends and strategies for success. He sheds light on the impact of changing interest rates and inflation on the real estate financing landscape. While there is volatility and uncertainty, the overall economy remains strong, with low unemployment and robust demand for housing. However, the cost of capital has increased, which may lead to a decrease in new property deliveries. The banking sector has experienced challenges, such as lower liquidity and increased regulations. Clopton mentioned that some banks are more hesitant to provide new loans, and private lending has gained traction as a result. How can sponsors and investors overcome the hurdles of the current market conditions? One approach is to consider assumable loans with favorable interest rates from the previous low-rate environment. However, these loans often come with lower leverage and may be limited to agency loans. Another strategy is to explore creative solutions, such as syndicating deals with class share equity that focuses on a coupon rather than upside potential. Regardless of your strategy, it's crucial to adapt to changing market dynamics and explore innovative strategies. In Jake's case that's meant shifting to a business mindset, understanding the challenges in the banking sector, and leveraging private lending opportunities. Key Takeaways: Shift from Investment to Business Mindset: Viewing real estate as a business, rather than just an investment, allows for a different perspective. Treating tenants as customers fosters better relationships and enhances long-term success. Challenges in the Banking Sector: Lower liquidity and uncertainty in the banking sector have led to more cautious lending practices. Some banks have chosen to halt lending for commercial properties due to market conditions and regulatory concerns. Compensating balances have become more common, indicating liquidity constraints in certain institutions. Rise of Private Lending: Private lending is becoming increasingly active, especially for B notes in higher cap tax pieces. Private equity firms and family offices have more flexibility in taking risks compared to investment advisors managing external funds. Higher regulations may push more deals into the private lending sector. Contact Jake: Website: https://cloptoncapital.com/ Linkedin: Jake Clopton Are you REady2Scale Your Multifamily Investments?

]]> 1474 Is Stability Returning to Multifamily? Top Trends Shaping the Markets in 2023 with Ryan Rasieleski; ep 301 Real estate markets in 2023 have seen many changes compared to the previous year. To gain a better understanding of these developments, we were joined once again by our own Ryan Rasieleski to share his insights on how '23 is playing out differently. He discusses the stabilization of the multifamily real estate market, rental growth trends, transaction volume & the impact of the Federal Reserve's actions. Additionally, since we're buying a new asset in the market, we get his perspective on Phoenix, Arizona to understand its unique dynamics. Is Multifamily Stabilizing? Ryan believes the multifamily real estate market is gradually stabilizing after a period of low vacancy rates, high rent growth, and low interest rates. In the first quarter of 2023, vacancy increased by about 30 basis points, nearing the industry standard of 5%. Although there was negative absorption in Q1, indicating a pre-leading demand, Ryan anticipates a positive absorption in Q2. Average effective rents grew by 4.5%, signaling a healthy indicator of stability compared to the unsustainable rent growth of previous years. Insights on the Phoenix Market The Phoenix market has some unique characteristics. The market's shown resilience & remains attractive to investors due to factors such as population growth, strong job market, & favorable business environment. Ryan emphasizes the importance of infill locations and their potential for appreciation in value over a 7-10-year period. He also notes that leverage in the market is gradually returning to more typical levels, reducing the amount of equity required for investments. Impacts on Underwriting & Capital Markets The changes in interest rates & market dynamics affect underwriting practices & capital markets. Loan assumptions are still trading at a premium, but there has been a shift towards longer-term loans with a flexible prepayment buy-down options. Depending on the business plan & property location, terms are adjusted accordingly. Ryan mentions the importance of leveraging agency programs and the return of leverage in the market, reducing required equity. These factors enable investors to structure deals more effectively. Buyer-Seller Negotiations & Pricing There's been a significant disconnect between buyer and seller expectations. However, the market has undergone a change, with the bid-ask spread collapsing by nearly 50%. Expectations of buyers and sellers are aligning more closely, resulting in more realistic pricing. The average cap rate in Q1 of 2023 was around 5.3%, indicating a contraction of the bid-ask spread. Operational Considerations: From an operational standpoint, there hasn't been much fluctuation compared to the previous year. The focus on expense discipline remains essential, especially for groups preparing for a sale. The emphasis on reducing expenses, such as payroll, has been instrumental in optimizing financial statements to maximize transaction value. Key Takeaways: The multifamily real estate market is stabilizing, with vacancy rates increasing and rental growth moderating. Interest rates, recession concerns and consumer confidence continue to contribute to market uncertainty. The massive disconnect between buyers and sellers expectations that was prevalent in the past is beginning to diminish. The spread between initial offers and final pricing has decreased, with cap rates decompressing. Are you REady2Scale Your Multifamily Investments?

To gain a better understanding of these developments, we were joined once again by our own Ryan Rasieleski to share his insights on how '23 is playing out differently. He discusses the stabilization of the multifamily real estate market, rental growth trends, transaction volume & the impact of the Federal Reserve's actions. Additionally, since we're buying a new asset in the market, we get his perspective on Phoenix, Arizona to understand its unique dynamics. Is Multifamily Stabilizing? Ryan believes the multifamily real estate market is gradually stabilizing after a period of low vacancy rates, high rent growth, and low interest rates. In the first quarter of 2023, vacancy increased by about 30 basis points, nearing the industry standard of 5%. Although there was negative absorption in Q1, indicating a pre-leading demand, Ryan anticipates a positive absorption in Q2. Average effective rents grew by 4.5%, signaling a healthy indicator of stability compared to the unsustainable rent growth of previous years. Insights on the Phoenix Market The Phoenix market has some unique characteristics. The market's shown resilience & remains attractive to investors due to factors such as population growth, strong job market, & favorable business environment. Ryan emphasizes the importance of infill locations and their potential for appreciation in value over a 7-10-year period. He also notes that leverage in the market is gradually returning to more typical levels, reducing the amount of equity required for investments. Impacts on Underwriting & Capital Markets The changes in interest rates & market dynamics affect underwriting practices & capital markets. Loan assumptions are still trading at a premium, but there has been a shift towards longer-term loans with a flexible prepayment buy-down options. Depending on the business plan & property location, terms are adjusted accordingly. Ryan mentions the importance of leveraging agency programs and the return of leverage in the market, reducing required equity. These factors enable investors to structure deals more effectively. Buyer-Seller Negotiations & Pricing There's been a significant disconnect between buyer and seller expectations. However, the market has undergone a change, with the bid-ask spread collapsing by nearly 50%. Expectations of buyers and sellers are aligning more closely, resulting in more realistic pricing. The average cap rate in Q1 of 2023 was around 5.3%, indicating a contraction of the bid-ask spread. Operational Considerations: From an operational standpoint, there hasn't been much fluctuation compared to the previous year. The focus on expense discipline remains essential, especially for groups preparing for a sale. The emphasis on reducing expenses, such as payroll, has been instrumental in optimizing financial statements to maximize transaction value. Key Takeaways: The multifamily real estate market is stabilizing, with vacancy rates increasing and rental growth moderating. Interest rates, recession concerns and consumer confidence continue to contribute to market uncertainty. The massive disconnect between buyers and sellers expectations that was prevalent in the past is beginning to diminish. The spread between initial offers and final pricing has decreased, with cap rates decompressing. Are you REady2Scale Your Multifamily Investments?

]]> 1532 no Building Success Brick by Brick: Nick Simpson Reveals his Real Estate Strategies; ep 299 Imagine a journey that starts with a 12-year-old entrepreneur mowing lawns and ends with a visionary CEO overseeing multimillion-dollar real estate acquisitions, all while navigating the complexities of partnerships and exploring unique investment opportunities like opportunity zones. Nick Simpson, the founder and CEO of Mentis Capital Partners, shares his remarkable trajectory and reveals unconventional strategies to tackle the challenges of high interest rates in the real estate industry. Nick delves into the world of student housing and its unique dynamics compared to traditional multifamily properties, as well as the benefits and considerations of investing in opportunity zones. Additionally, he revealed some alternative approaches he has developed to address challenges posed by high interest rates. Key Takeaways: Properly structuring partnerships: Nick emphasized the importance of aligning incentives and compensation from the outset of a business venture. Seeking advice from experienced business owners and working with specialized attorneys can help establish a fair and sustainable structure, setting the stage for long-term growth. Understanding student housing dynamics: Student housing presents distinct characteristics compared to traditional multifamily properties. Purpose-built student housing projects often feature a one-to-one bedroom-to-bathroom ratio, with units designed to cater to the needs of students on temporary stays. The provision of additional services, such as utilities and furnishings, justifies higher rental rates per square foot. The leasing cycle typically follows a 12-month timeline, with the added security of parental guarantees reducing payment delinquencies. Opportunity zones offer tax advantages: Investing in opportunity zones can yield significant tax benefits. Investors can defer taxes on their original gains until 2026 while enjoying tax-free growth on their capital for up to 10 years. However, careful consideration should be given to selecting markets with promising growth prospects, particularly in secondary and tertiary areas. Due diligence is crucial: Investors interested in opportunity zone investments should conduct thorough due diligence. It is essential to select well-positioned properties in developing markets and ensure compliance with the program's paperwork and accounting requirements. Engaging with experienced fund managers or teams already well-versed in opportunity zone investments can simplify the process and mitigate potential pitfalls. Innovative approaches to high interest rates: Nick shared alternative strategies for tackling the challenges posed by high interest rates. These approaches involve creatively structuring financing deals to mitigate interest rate risks and unlock more favorable terms. By exploring options like preferred equity or joint ventures, investors can optimize their returns and overcome financing obstacles.

]]> 1536 no What You Need to Know About Investing in Today's Real Estate Markets with Ellie Perlman; ep 296 When you invest in real estate, do you want to get in at the market top or at the bottom? Blue Lake Capital's CEO, Ellie Perlman, looks at the current environment and breaks down what you need to know to successfully invest in real estate today. The current market has been pretty difficult, but we know we're usually at or close to the bottom when the feeling is overly pessimistic & gloomy and everyone feels like real estate is a bad investment. That's why we think now is a great time to be actively reviewing deals. The beauty of real estate is that it's cyclical and will most likely go back up over time. Those that can get in at or near the bottom and ride the next wave up are the ones that will have the most success. As Ellie shares, investing in today's real estate markets comes down to 3 things: 1. The Debt Structure 2. Location 3. Strength of the tenant base The bottom line is that the best deals today are those that are already cash flowing and that have attractive, preferably fixed rate, debt. If you can understand those factors, you'l be in a better position to know whether or not you're looking at the right investments for you. Are you REady2Scale Your Multifamily Investments?

]]> 1071 Understanding Real Estate Cycles with Arn Cenedella: ep 295 Arn Cenedella knows that real estate is a long-term game. The founder of Spark Investment Group began his real estate career in 1978 and worked in residential brokerage until 2014. Over that time, he's been through at least 3 or 4 economic cycles, and he knows they repeat themselves. While there have been tremendous boom times over his career, there has also been disruption and pullback. As Arn likes to say: "A little rain must fall now and again." When we're in the middle of a downturn, it may be difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but Arn knows that those are the times that set the floor for the next expansion and growth. What he sees in today's markets is very typical. When he looks long term, he knows that property values will be a lot higher in 10 years than they are today, especially if you can identify up and coming areas, like he targets. It may not be a straight line, but eventually he knows he'll see very strong returns. As he told us: "I can't really think of a better place to keep your money than in real estate."

]]> 1497 no Being "In the Game" on a Daily Basis With Bob Lachance; ep 294 Bob Lachance thought he would play hockey forever. The former St. Louis Blues wing knew that wouldn't really happen, of course, but after he hung up his skates for the last time he's certainly kept himself busy. The key was to just get started, and now he's focused on being "in the game" on a daily basis. As Bob tells us, "If you're interested in real estate, get started because you never know if you're going to end up buying into syndications or starting your own syndication or raising money or being a small operator or having your own management company." Today, Bob wears a lot hats. He's the Founder & CEO of the virtual assistance company Reva Global, the host of the podcast Pucks to Property, the founder of Perch Rock Management, which acquires distressed and non-performing single-family and multi-family properties in the northeast and, finally, the owner of Hat Trick and the co-creator of Fortune Builders Mastery Mentor Program. He's certainly proof that think, while what you start might end up the way you think it will, just get started and your path will take you where it will. Key Takeaways: - JUST GET STARTED. - In real estate there's no get rich quick anything. Balance the shiny object syndrome by taking things one step at a time. - Find a mentor in the space you want to get into. It's not a get rich quick plan, but that something that will allow you to get to where you want to go faster. Follow their lead because the've been there already. - Not everyone is meant to be in the real estate business. You have to have thick skin because sometimes, you can take a beating but you have to keep getting up.

]]> 1971 no Tapping Into the Investing Community at Scale Gives Passive Investors Peace of Mind; EP 291 When Litan Yahav started investing in real estate, he quickly found that owning rental properties wasn't very passive, so he began to focus on investing in real estate syndications.

That's when they saw the opportunity to start Vyzer.. Vyzer gives users a more streamlined and detailed understanding of their investment portfolios, peace of mind in investment decisions, and more time. One exciting new release taps into the investing community to show members where other people are investing (anonymously); what their asset allocation looks like overall, which platforms, fund operators & GP's they're investing with, how much money and how many investments the have with each of them.

]]> 1571 no It's not just about CASH FLOW anymore, it's about TAX FLOW with Brett Swarts (ep 290) People are looking for freedom right now. For those with highly appreciated assets, they're facing 25-50% in capital gains tax and, if current proposals go through, that could increase by another 20%. That's where Brett Swarts & the team Capital Gains Tax Solutions come in. They're passionate about helping people create freedom and making an impact by unlocking capital. Their team is focused on helping individuals sell their business, real estate, cryptocurrency, or other highly appreciated assets and maximize the exit using a Deferred Sales Trust. As Brett explains, it all starts with your vision for what you want to do with your wealth. What are you trying to do? Where are you trying to go? What's the product or strategy to get you there? And what's the right team look like to help you get you there? That's where the idea of "tax flow" comes in. Most of us think about cash flow, which is extremely important, but it's not just about cash flow anymore. He advocates having a tax flow mindset when it comes to planning exits. It will unlock a transformation and the freedoms we all desire: location freedom, time freedom, retirement freedom. For the video interview, visit our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/EPPmAZ6YUbY Key Takeaways: - In today's markets, if sellers have an assumable loan with a fixed rate over the next couple of years, this is a good opportunity to attract buyers to come in and get a better price than if they looked at new financing. - The struggles in the banking industry has created an environment where people are cautious about having money sitting in the bank vs hard assets that are cash flowing. It could encourage people to put more money into real estate, multi-family in particular. - The biggest thing they're looking at is for people who have overpaid and have adjustable debt, didn't buy rate caps or who have rate caps adjusting. They don't think it will be 2008 all over again, but there could be opportunities for those with capital, but they want to see how the situation with Silicon Valley Bank, Signature, Credit Suisse and the other banks unfolds. - Build and unlock your ideal wealth plan when selling assets of any kind. That's really the key. How do you create freedom when you're exiting?

]]> 1547 no Driving NOI in Mobile Home Park Investing with Amanda Cruise: ep 289 Mobile home parks may not be the most glamorous real estate sector to invest in but, as Voyage Investing's Amanda Cruise shares, it can be among the most profitable. Voyage brings a mobile home value add strategy to the table, the look for parks where they can go in and get the infrastructure up to a better standard and, of course, improve the net operating income to force that appreciation. With mobile home parks, the market can be a lot more forgiving because of affordable housing demand. As long as the market is growing and has diverse employment, Amanda's comfortable in that space and it's a lot easier to compete in a secondary or a tertiary market while still having a solid product. While competition in the space has heated up compared to 5 or 10 years ago, Amanda shares how they're able to avoid competition with institutional competitors since they can go smaller than institutions will and they can look outside of primary markets for the best opportunities. For the video interview, visit: https://youtu.be/F1Mg0UizVog Key Takeaways: Facebook marketplace is a really good way to buy and sell individual homes, which Voyage still uses to this day when they're selling homes in their parks. While competition has increased in the space it's still not as competitive as some other sectors. There's a big trade off that some people don't talk about enough, which is that mobile home parks are more work than multi-family. You are the one determining what the property management strategy is, and then you're managing a manager, so there's a trade off there, but you can drive higher of returns because of that.

]]> 1194 no An Entire Generation Could be Renting Forever with Neal Bawa - ep 288 As much as rents have risen over the past several years, the gap between home ownership and renting is the largest in history by a very, very wide margin, according to Neal Bawa. Neal is the CEO and Founder of Multifamily University and Grocapitus Investments, he's a technologist who is universally known in real estate circles as the "Mad Scientist of Multifamily". As he looks at the current state of the markets, he sees “Build To Rent” as the hottest part of real estate right now. He believes that population demographic shifts are not only important, but they're all that matters when selecting markets to invest in. He's looking at build to rent multifamily as "horizontal apartments" and it's a market he expects to continue growing. He realizes that it doesn't work everywhere, it uses a lot more land for one thing, so the location is important, perhaps on the edges of suburbs where land is cheaper and more available.

]]> 2572 no When You're a Young Real Estate Investor it All Comes Down to Mindset with Kyle Bambu, EP 287 For Kyle Bambu, age is just a number when it comes to his real estate investing career. The 24 year old didn't originally mean to get into the real estate game, he graduated with an aerospace degree from Penn tate and immediately starting working on jet engines for Honeywell. His engineering/analytical background paid off for him, however, when some friends were talking about the wealth building possibilities of real estate. When he moved to Arizona and bought his first property he was hooked. It hasn't all been easy (who could imagine losing their AC the first day you own a property in Arizona?) and sometimes it's been downright difficult (2 people shot on his property?), but it's clear that Kyle is focused on the prize and he's got experience and perspective beyond his years. For the video interview, click here: https://youtu.be/7XBLotojwfI Key Takeaways: It all comes down to your mindset. In real estate, there are a lot of potential hurdles, but there's almost always a way around them. If you have to work a little harder, just keep telling yourself it's possible to achieve your goals. Be flexible. As Kyle's found his way in real estate, his strategy has changed along with the opportunities and the markets. Network, network, network. Develop mentors, reach out to people and ask questions, keep seeking things out that you've never done before and it will pay off.

The 24 year old didn't originally mean to get into the real estate game, he graduated with an aerospace degree from Penn tate and immediately starting working on jet engines for Honeywell.

His engineering/analytical background paid off for him, however, when some friends were talking about the wealth building possibilities of real estate. When he moved to Arizona and bought his first property he was hooked.

It hasn't all been easy (who could imagine losing their AC the first day you own a property in Arizona?) and sometimes it's been downright difficult (2 people shot on his property?), but it's clear that Kyle is focused on the prize and he's got experience and perspective beyond his years.

Key Takeaways:

  • It all comes down to your mindset. In real estate, there are a lot of potential hurdles, but there's almost always a way around them. If you have to work a little harder, just keep telling yourself it's possible to achieve your goals.
  • Be flexible. As Kyle's found his way in real estate, his strategy has changed along with the opportunities and the markets.
  • Network, network, network. Develop mentors, reach out to people and ask questions, keep seeking things out that you've never done before and it will pay off.

]]> 2368 no How to Keep a Family Business Thriving Across Multiple Generations with Garret Bedrin: EP 285 For the video interview, visit: https://youtu.be/UZmFSIYDwiQ Garret Bedrin is a third generation real estate developer, sponsor, and operator with the Bedrin Organization. He's also been a top season ticket executive for the Golden State Warriors and has been recognized as a Franchisee of the Year by Salons by JC. As Garret likes to say, you need to be interested and interesting.  He calls his approach having strategy with a little splash of luck, but it's clear that the success of his businesses come from having a great business model, identifying the right partners and tenants, and a lot of passion and hard work. The Bedrin family has a long history of entrepreneurship & service. Garret's grandfather started the company in 1947 after serving in World War II, landing on the beaches of Normandy, and receiving two Purple Hearts. The Bedrin Organization started as "Murray's Gift Gallery" and eventually grew into Allied Office Supplies. The family's knowledge of retail made the transition into commercial real estate a natural fit, and they turned their industrial warehouse into a retail space. They've since expanded into more mixed-use projects and a variety of other businesses. There's an old saying around family businesses, “shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations.” The first generation rolls up their shirt sleeves and gets their hands get dirty, the second generation wears a polo shirt because the first generation did all of the heavy lifting and the third generation has to start rolling up the shirt sleeves again because the second generation let the business fall apart. With his company continuing to focus on growth and staying vibrant, Garret looks at himself as a combination of all three generations and it's clear that the future is bright for Garret, the Bedrin Organization and their partners. Key Takeaways: Patient capital is very important and pragmatic for people to keep in mind when building generational wealth. Everybody wants huge returns to grow their capital as fast as possible but in real estate especially it's important to have a long term plan. Aligning with the right partners & the right tenants will help create much more success. Focus not only success for your family, help create success for those partners and tenants as well.

]]> 2569 no Buyers Think it's 2008 and Sellers Think it's 2021: EP 284 Blue Lake Capital's own Ryan Rasieleski joins Jeannette to examine the latest move by the Fed to raise interest rates by 25 basis points, plus the ongoing job cuts we've been seeing, especially at tech companies. He breaks down what it all means for the multifamily market. For the video interview, visit: https://youtu.be/uRjenKOpHDg With regards to seeing higher rates for longer, it will certainly impact transaction volume and we've already seen that happening in Q4 into the beginning of this year. It's causing a recalibration of underwriting, and it's further widen the bid spread that everybody was trying to. pinpoint and hoping would collapse in the first quarter of this year, and then just extend all the way through the year. But we have yet to get there. There are really two type of buyers in the market today, specifically in the real estate space. You have some of those groups that want to transact early in the year. They want to lock in their rates now and not have to worry about transacting later on in the year, whether that's due to 1031 Exchanges or whatever their reasons may be. Then you have other groups that, that might sit on the sideline because they haven't seen that terminal rate yet. We haven't seen rates peak. And they might write their business plan to transact later in the year. They're going to be be a lot more selective on the deals that they're buying. In terms of unemployment when you actually take a step back and you look at employ unemployment, we are at a two decade low. We're still at three and a half percent, which is below where we were pre-pandemic. There was a spike in unemployment during the pandemic and now you're seeing layoffs as a purely a pullback from an aggressive hiring over the last, two to three years during the pandemic as well as just over the last decade.

]]> 1839 no Challenges Create Opportunities in Real Estate : EP 283 Ellie Perlman, Blue Lake Capital's Founder & CEO, joins Jeannette Robinson to talk about the main challenges and opportunities that we're seeing in the market. Right here, right now. (For the video interview, visit: https://youtu.be/i4SeGbKXQfw) One thing that everyone is talking about is debt. That's one of the main challenges right now because Loan to Value has gone down significantly. In the past, you know, operators & real estate owners, specifically in multifamily could have found deals that we could have financed at 75 to 80%. Today it's very hard to find those deals because, lenders are being very conservative and very careful with higher interest rates. So when lenders are looking at an asset, they're looking at the cash flow and NOI and they anticipate the debt service, the amount of debt payment every month, every year, every quarter. Sometimes that means that you need a lot more cash flow. One thing that hasn't changed is the power of location. You want to make sure that you have assets in areas that are still in high demand, and the demand continues to grow to make up for those tenants that may have to exit. That's one of the things that's very important for all investors to take into consideration - is that area continuing to grow? Despite the challenges, there are opportunities in the market right now. A lot of groups and family offices are sitting on the sidelines and that presents more opportunities because you have a decent chance of getting a deal done. You don't have to overbid or bid against yourself to win a deal because it's very clear that you know the assets that you're looking at and you're not competing with 10 or 12 other groups. The other opportunity lies in other operators that need to liquidate and sell assets, even from some big operators and REITs. Not because the assets aren't performing, but because their investors want to liquidate and leave the deals. That presents a huge opportunity because, as a sponsor, you can buy an institutional level asset or asset from a strong operator that is forced to sell because they just need liquidity. Key Takeaways: There are challenges and pain in today's markets but there are also opportunities all around us. If you're not frozen by fear and if you let the numbers talk (and numbers always talk), you can find those great assets, those great opportunities. Now is a time to make a move and buy smart. Just stay disciplined and make sure that you're getting great deals. If you look at the most successful people in the world, especially in real estate, they are always great at seizing opportunities and jumping in when others were hesitant and frozen by fear.

Sometimes that means that you need a lot more cash flow.

One thing that hasn't changed is the power of location. You want to make sure that you have assets in areas that are still in high demand, and the demand continues to grow to make up for those tenants that may have to exit. That's one of the things that's very important for all investors to take into consideration - is that area continuing to grow?

Despite the challenges, there are opportunities in the market right now.

A lot of groups and family offices are sitting on the sidelines and that presents more opportunities because you have a decent chance of getting a deal done. You don't have to overbid or bid against yourself to win a deal because it's very clear that you know the assets that you're looking at and you're not competing with 10 or 12 other groups.

The other opportunity lies in other operators that need to liquidate and sell assets, even from some big operators and REITs. Not because the assets aren't performing, but because their investors want to liquidate and leave the deals. That presents a huge opportunity because, as a sponsor, you can buy an institutional level asset or asset from a strong operator that is forced to sell because they just need liquidity.

Key Takeaways:

  • There are challenges and pain in today's markets but there are also opportunities all around us.
  • If you're not frozen by fear and if you let the numbers talk (and numbers always talk), you can find those great assets, those great opportunities.
  • Now is a time to make a move and buy smart. Just stay disciplined and make sure that you're getting great deals.
  • If you look at the most successful people in the world, especially in real estate, they are always great at seizing opportunities and jumping in when others were hesitant and frozen by fear.

It's one of the markets where we always try to keep our deal flow active, so we wanted to get a handle on the outlook for the market and region. When it comes to ATL, there aren't many people with a better understanding of the market than Kevin Geiger, Vice Chairman of CBRE. Kevin has focused on multifamily investment property sales since joining CBRE in 1989. The team has been recognized as one of the most innovative and successful groups in the country, having transacted in excess of $20 billion in multifamily transactions since 2000. He is recognized on an annual basis by CBRE as one of the top investment sales professionals within the firm. As you'll hear, Kevin is still incredibly bullish on Atlanta's multifamily market and provides a deep dive into some of the hottest submarkets around the city. If you're looking into investing in Atlanta, you'll definitely want to hear what Kevin has to say. Key Takeaways: The savviest investors invest when the markets are dislocated. Right now a lot of the institutional players are sitting on the sidelines, but there's tremendous investor demand. Good investors know you can make money when you buy just as easily as you do when you sell. There's still really good rent growth, but there's a lack of product in the market. A lot of the sellers are used to selling at these very low cap rates that they've experienced over the last two years, but right now we're at cap rates that we were seeing pre-COVID.

]]> 1306 no S4 EP 278: The Outlook for Industrial Real Estate with Joel Friedland At the most basic level, Joel Friedland explains, industrial real estate is just made up of a bunch of boxes. You've got big boxes, small boxes, tall boxes, short boxes, and inside it's just open space.  However, after hearing Joel explain his business further, it's clear that industrial is about way more than just boxes. Joel has 40 year track record in industrial real estate. As an industrial real estate broker and owner, Joel has secured over 2,000 industrial property leases and sales. His greatest accomplishment is maintaining valued relationships spanning five decades. He explains how the industrial real estate industry has changed over the years. Decades ago, a small group of owners typically owned the assets - manufacturers and distributors who ran the business and owned the property. Today, Joel estimates that over 40% of properties are now owned by institutions. So how does he compete? First of all, he's developed a strong business model that lets him find opportunities that are generally under the radar of institutions. Rather than going after Class A assets, he focuses on Class B & C properties that may be a little older, and may not always have the curb appeal of Class A, but they bring returns that help Jeff & his team outperform the institutions. Secondly, Jeff emphasizes that the fabric of being able to grow any successful business will always come down to maintaining and building relationships. Out of over 100 deals that he's done, only 4 have come through brokers, the rest have come from strong building relationships over time. Key Takeaways: Relationships, relationships, relationships. Jeff maintains relationships with people he met over 40 years ago who have become his investors and they've invested over and over and over again. It's a relationship business Roll up your sleeves. Jeff started in the businesses going door to door looking to uncover deals, and today his son does the same thing. It's hard work but it helps start developing relationships and gives you a ground level view of what's happening in the market. Be conservative. Similar to what we're seeing in other sectors, Jeff describes a challenging market where things have gone up so much the past several years that sellers and other buyers may not have adjusted to the new realities yet. So Jeff's being conservative, getting into good deals but with a low LTV and, in some cases has even paid cash to avoid taking on too much debt.

It may sound unusual in the days of FTX, but when he was exposed to crypto, the CEO of the Liberty Real Estate Fund had a novel idea: "What if we did something legal and concrete in the crypto real estate space?" Michael explains that issuing a security token follows exactly the same same process and steps as issuing a regular syndication, but the blockchain enables instantaneous communication and immediate transfers of value, information, and currency.; among other things. He also gives his thoughts on the FTX scandal before giving us a deep dive into Triple Net Leases. Key Takeaways: - FTX has given crypto a black eye, but what they did was outright fraud, regardless of the technology used. It doesn't change the fact that the blockchain can bring tremendous innovation and capability to a number of industries, including real estate. - Bringing blockchain technology into a structured, regulated industry like real estate can provide credibility and security for investors - that's why they're called security tokens. - You can easily remember what a triple net lease is through the acronym T.I.M. - Taxes, Insurance and Maintenance. - During downturns, institutional real estate owners will flip into triple nets because it's something that's steady, it's cash flow, and it smooths out the up and downs of the downturns.

It may sound unusual in the days of FTX, but when he was exposed to crypto, the CEO of the Liberty Real Estate Fund had a novel idea: "What if we did something legal and concrete in the crypto real estate space?"

Michael explains that issuing a security token follows exactly the same same process and steps as issuing a regular syndication, but the blockchain enables instantaneous communication and immediate transfers of value, information, and currency.; among other things.

He also gives his thoughts on the FTX scandal before giving us a deep dive into Triple Net Leases.

Deborah Smith is the Co-Founder & CEO of The CenterCap Group and heads the firm’s Strategic Capital and M&A and Execution efforts. A career banker, she grew up on a rural dairy farm in Australia with the goal of being a tax attorney but, as she tells us, she didn't want to be pigeon holed. Ironically, as her career progressed, she's been pigeon holed as a leading advisor & consultant to private and public sector companies and fund managers across the real assets industry Deborah gives us her insights into the current market, including what private equity real estate firms need to do to separate themselves from the pack. KEY TAKEAWAYS:  There is still capital out there and it wants to be put to work, it just depends on the opportunity and pricing. Sellers think the economics should win while buyers look at higher rates & sticky pricing, this is causing some uncertainty and shifts in the markets The deal environment still favors the larger vehicles and well capitalized players. The market as a whole welcomes uncertainty. It might have been too efficient, it was time for a a reset and some shift to create some opportunities. Simply having a great track record isn’t enough to be attractive to institutions. It’s like having all A’s in high school isn’t good enough to get into Stanford.

]]> 1421 no S4 EP 274: Uncovering Value in Small & Mid-Market Deals with Andrew Sinclair Andy Sinclair likes to say that if you lived in the Midwest from May through October, it would be the best place you've ever lived. For the CEO of Midloch Investment Partners, the Midwest is the Mid-Best. Andy is an accomplished real estate investment professional whose experience spans real estate private equity investments and institutional brokerage. He has invested and participated in approximately $2.0 billion in real estate transactions. Andy considers himself a value investor with an appreciation for growth-oriented investing. He believes that people, management teams, and the right locations are the heartbeat of real estate.  While the Midwest may not have the buzz of the Sun Belt or Southwest, the region has a lot to offer, including solid job fundamentals, a workforce with strong work ethic, good underlying growth and, perhaps most importantly, better valuations. One of the most unique things about Midloch is that they tend to look for deals in the $5 million to $50 million range, too small for most large competitors but small enough that just about any group can participate, and there are good deals to be had. With a deep expertise in the region, Midloch has built strong partnerships that bring value to every deal. Key Takeaways: Find people that want to help you grow. If it’s a GP that teaches you how to be an investor or an operator that can help you improve, get exposure to all parts of real estate and find a mentor. Find the right partners. Look for alignment of goals & business plans and share a vision. The most important thing to look for in a partner is operational experience; can your partners operate effectively? Don't wait until it's too late to enjoy life. When you get a bonus or a windfall, take a big chunk of the money and do something for yourself that you've always wanted to do.

James Sirmans of Gage Multifamily Services in Austin, TX joined us to discuss some of the things you'll need to consider before starting your next renovation project. What amenities will tenants want? What technology should you put in your building? Most of all, what improvements can help maximize your ROI and how can you avoid extra costs or pitfalls?

This is a question I get a lot from our investors, so I wanted to share our view on how the current economy is affecting real estate deal flow. We all know that, right now, interest rates and rents are going up across the country, but what’s the impact been on acquisitions? In terms of the deal flow specifically, there’s been a slow down over the past few months since the Fed declared their intention of increasing rates. Is multifamily still a very strong asset class to invest in? Absolutely. Is it a “bulletproof” asset in a recession? There's no such thing. While you can’t say it’s “recession proof”, it is more “recession resistant”. We take a look at the impact the current economy is having on real estate deal flow in the multifamily space and how you can still be successful in this market. For more, visit: https://www.bluelake-capital.com/ 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: • Overall, there's been a slowdown of deals, but prices are generally stable and we are seeing more off-market deals. • Developing strong relationships and a strong brand are keys to keeping your deals active and filling your funnel. • Returns are not what they were before; that's partially because the loan to value is lower and you need more equity to close deals. • The main thing is to adjust expectations and understand that, while returns may not be as high as they were before, they’ll still be solid. • Operationally, it’s important to understand not only the strength of multifamily as an asset class but also the forces that impacting your yields. If it’s financing and pricing, you should know up front.

]]> 830 S4 EP 265: How Demographics Will Impact the Economy & the Demand for Housing with Mark Hickey This week's guest explores how changes in population may impact the overall housing market and also helps dispel some popular "urban myths" that many consider factual. He also believes that a lack of single-family and multi-family construction will keep the market healthy for investors and, while we may see a correction with rising rates, a full blown housing crash looks unlikely. Mark Hickey is the founder of 4M Rentals. He previously held roles as Economist/Director of Market Analytics for CoStar Group and was a Senior Financial Analyst for Winn Companies. Mark began his career as a fund accountant with Brown Brothers Harriman and JP Morgan Chase. Mark holds an MBA in real estate from Boston College and a BS in finance and economics from Syracuse University. Key Takeaway: While a flattening/modest decrease in home prices is likely, don't expect a full blown housing crash. A lack of construction in single-family & multi-family will keep the market healthy for both types of investors but it will be harder for most investors to realize high returns like the ones we saw from 2011-2019.

]]> 2117 S4 EP 262: Operating & Scaling a Successful Short Term Rental Business with Alex Jarbo Short term rentals are one of the hottest areas in real estate investing and, after speaking with this week’s guest, it’s easy to see why.    Alex Jarbo is the Founder and CEO of Sargon Investments; a short term rental/hospitality business based in Asheville, North Carolina that has a goal of developing 650 cabins in the next 2-3 years. Alex is the host of the YouTube channel Alex Builds, where he teaches the ins and outs of short term rental development and management and he’s about to launch a new course aimed at helping other potential investors learn from his experiences. Prior to his real estate career, Alex served in the US Marine Corps for 4.5 years.    Alex shares his experiences in short term rentals & hospitality and how he operates each of his properties like a business. His strategy of developing unique properties comes from a strong focus on his guests; he has a deep understanding of what makes his market unique and how he makes his properties “Instagrammable”; thinking about the guest experience to help amplify his marketing efforts. He also discusses how he was able to navigate supply chain issues while building new properties, the importance of relationships to create offline opportunities (outside of online travel agents), and he even shares a story of how he was able to work with AirBNB to remove a fabricated complaint that temporarily removed his Super Host status. Key Takeaway: When thinking about the short term rental market, focus on the uniqueness of your property, knowledge of the local market and building strong relationships to help boost the performance of your properties. Move beyond a “set it and forget it” approach that relies on just AirBNB or VRBO as your only sales channel and focus on creating a unique experience for your guests to boost year-round cash flow and help your properties stand out from the competition.

Where I agree with them, is where you have very limited choice. You have a one-income mutual fund you can choose from or a bond fund. Your company gives you very limited options. That’s a tuff road. You’re not really investing; you’re choosing a few options and hoping for the best.” Tax-sheltered investment accounts can be a great way to maximize your gains when investing in real estate.

While the pandemic was unprecedented for everyone, the hotel industry, particularly, was heavily impacted. Travel was nonexistence, and even a trip to the grocery store felt like a daunting task, let alone staying in a hotel.

My guest this week, Greg Friedman, has promising predictions for the resurgence of the hotel industry. Listen in to learn how the industry performed during the pandemic, how the process of financing hotels has changed, and how to maximize lending terms to solidify your financial structure.

He said to me, 'There's two types of mistakes when it comes to real estate investing. There's "type one" mistakes and there are "type two" mistakes. You can only make so many type two mistakes in your career before your career is over.' A type one mistake is a deal that you should have done, and you didn't. And you can make a million type one mistakes in your career. A type two mistake is a deal you shouldn't have done, and you did." When it comes to any business, mistakes are bound to occur. Human error can be anticipated in life, yet we can minimize them by learning from not only our mistakes, but from others. My guests this week are real estate investment veterans with over 30 years of experience here to reveal major do's & don'ts in this week's episodes. Listen in to learn tips on examining an underwriting process, distinctions between retail and multifamily investing mistakes, and how to remain disciplined and focused when trying to close a deal to avoid mishaps.

Even though the eviction moratorium has ended on a federal level, many local and state levels still have the moratorium implemented as we continue to navigate through this "pandemic cycle".

]]> 1505 no S3 EP 208: Capital Returns: What Investors Need to Know https://www.ellieperlman.com/podcast If you are an investor or are looking to invest in the near future, understanding distinctions between similar or common phrases are critical. A difference in the preposition used can greatly impact the returns you see from an asset during a particular investment period. For example, return "on" capital and return "of" capital are commonly misused interchangeably when they actually produce very different outcomes for your returns.

If you're a flipper or somebody buying with an equity upside play, I can appreciate and respect all that. But going into this uncharted, unprecedented environment, I'm personally not willing to take the risk of an upside rental potential." Everyone has their own risk tolerance. While some investors look for higher risk options that return higher rewards, others turn to more conservative investments that have reduced risk, but lower or slower rewards. Especially in a real estate market performing like we've never witnessed before, it is essential to be aware of potential risks that come with investing. This week, my guest Chris Naghibi and I discuss which asset classes have been the most resilient during the pandemic, strategies to mitigate risks, and the balance between risk taking and remaining conservative. Key Takeaway: Before investing in an asset, risk evaluation should be a main consideration to ensure you're adhering to your risk tolerance and investing criteria.

]]> 901 no S3 EP 199: Real Estate Financial Engineering - Next Level Analysis with Nikolai Ray https://www.ellieperlman.com/podcast “I realized in my late 20’s that I’d only gone into the human performance and preventative medicine career as a way to transition out of hockey...So, I just said to myself, 'What’s something I really want to do with my life? What am I really passionate about...that won’t allow me to hit a ceiling?' and it all came down to real estate, essentially. And I went all in.” There’s no “correct” way to dive into the real estate investing world. Most professionals find their way into real estate investing later in their career path, and use their past experiences as a base while learning the real estate industry. Former professional hockey player Nikolai Ray is no different.

I do believe that's what's going to happen..." While the single-family real estate market continues to perform at a strong level, with good financing opportunities and low interest rates, the cyclical nature of the market alludes to the possibility of an impending economic crisis. If, and more likely when, that happens, I predict that the multifamily investment world is going to benefit by default. Many single-family homeowners will likely not be able to pay their mortgages, resulting in an increased demand for multifamily housing. Concurrently, many investors will want to move their investments into a more conservative market like multifamily investing. In this podcast, I will talk about my predictions as to why this will occur, what the likely impact will be, and why the multifamily industry will grow from it. Key Takeaways: Hindsight is always 20/20, but it never hurts to be one step ahead. By understanding market trends and their possible impacts, a future crisis can turn into a major investment opportunity.

I love real estate because it makes me feel more secure and, in my opinion, is a much more conservative approach than trading in the stock market.” The age-old question of where to invest your money has been debated for many years. The real estate market and the stock market are arguably the most discussed topics in the conversation. When comparing the two, the real estate market comes with many significant benefits like the absence of liquidity, the presence of leveraging, and the more stable nature of the real estate market as a whole. The question, however, boils down to what kind of investor are you? Listen in to learn about these benefits in depth with side-by-side theoretical and applied comparisons between real estate investing vs the stock market. Key Takeaways: While investing in real estate is a more conservative approach to investing, the key is to align your risk preferences and strategy to your investment goals. While the stock market carries an allure of “getting rich quick” for some, real estate investing is more of a long game approach where slow and steady wins the race.  Are you REady2Scale? Learn more about growing your wealth, strengthening your portfolio, and scaling to the next level at www.ellieperlman.com.

Number two, "What if I don't have $500,000 to put across 5 different assets? How can I protect my $100,000 investment, or $200,000 investment?" It's been a turbulent ride in the US economy, and with that, mitigating risks and adapting investment strategies has been a top priority on many investors' minds. As such, diversification has continued to be a focus for many, along with other concerns of how to keep cash flow stable, capture strong returns, and sidestep continued economic impacts from a radical period of history we've all experienced throughout the pandemic. Listen in as we dive into the real pros and cons of using a fund strategy vs single-asset investments in building out your portfolio to learn what benefits there are to each, how they are structured differently, and most of all, which is best for your goals. Key Takeaway: Adapting to the shifts in the market requires flexible approaches for real estate investing. Whichever strategy you implement, mitigating risks and diversifying bring in a significant benefit of protecting investments.

And you need to be conservative whenever you see other groups going crazy after assets. You make money when you buy, not when you sell." It's no secret that the multifamily investing arena is on fire, and it's not due to fire sales like some had predicted a year ago. Instead, it's quite the opposite. The market is so intensely competitive that overbidding has nearly become the standard practice. Why are some investors willing to overbid? What is the reason behind this apparent "madness"? And most of all, how do you remain competitive, and yet conservative, when the heat is turned up? Listen in to learn why this is happening and how to still achieve successful investments in spite of it. Hint: Did I mention we have a new acquisition? Key Takeaway: Being patient, data driven, and sticking to your investment criteria will protect you from being caught up in the urgency of the market or the temptation of making a rash investment.

Having a lot of money doesn't look or feel like what Hollywood sells us. It can be isolating... And of course, it might be hard to imagine wealth as a challenge, but my goal is to change something at a very personal level. I want to get us talking about money. I want to move money out of the taboo category, and out of the shame category, and really help us start to have conversations." When it comes to money, that's private. Or so the school of thought usually goes. However, today Jennifer Risher shares very openly about her experiences of coming into wealth and the surprising challenges it creates that are often never openly spoken about. Listen in for rare and authentic insights into how wealth can and does impact people's lives and relationships, and why it's important to be able to openly speak about it. This episode is a brave and inspiring interview on not just her journey of learning to become comfortable with wealth, but also the significant joy that she and her husband, David Risher, have found in using their wealth to inspire mass acts of giving on a global scale through their foundation #HalfmyDAF. Key Takeaway: Money matters impact everyone's lives. Whether riches or poverty, there are challenges that are created and opportunities for impact missed when people won't communicate. While wealth can be powerful, it shouldn't be held in such a regard to supersede the value of what matters most - relationships.
