WS2011 A Commercial Real Estate Storm is Coming with Scott Trench

Scott Trench, CEO of BiggerPockets, shares his first-hand experience losing money in real estate syndications - and what it teaches us about finding quality operators. He also looks at the commercial real estate market, predicting pain over the next 18 months.   Here are some useful key insights from this episode: Avoid syndicators that diversify across many markets instead of specializing in one. Look for operators with proven long-term track records close to the properties. Thoroughly analyze a syndicator's assumptions about rent growth, expenses, and exit cap rates.

Are Mobile Home Parks Right for Your Passive Investment Portfolio? Thinking about diversifying your investments beyond traditional real estate? Join us in today's episode of the Real Estate Syndication Show,  as we continue our discussion with Tyler Lekas, who dives into mobile home park investing, a potentially lucrative option for passive investors. Tyler shares his perspective on investing during potential economic downturns, forecasting a recession within the next year. His approach focuses on conservative investments with immediate strong cash flow and securing assets at prices that offer room for market fluctuations. Beyond financial strategies, he emphasizes the importance of personal well-being, with regular combat sports practice aiding in maintaining mental clarity and resilience. His unique philanthropic efforts concentrate on assisting individuals within his network, enabling him to directly observe the impact of his generosity. Key Questions for Evaluating Mobile Home Park Investments: Vacancy Rates and Occupancy Strategies: How many mobile home lots are currently vacant? Does the operator have a plan to fill them? Understanding the costs and logistics of moving into new homes, including financing, permits, and physical setup, is crucial. Public vs. Private Utilities: Does the park rely on public utilities or manage its own? Private utilities can significantly impact future expenses and regulations. Park-Owned Homes: Assess the condition and age of any mobile homes owned by the park. The strategy for converting them to tenant-owned can greatly affect cash flow and overall returns.

WS1980 From Real Estate to Giving | Highlights Eric Most

Looking to leverage your real estate holdings and other assets for a greater good? This episode of the Real Estate Syndication Show dives deep into impactful charitable giving strategies with Eric Most from the National Christian Foundation (NCF). Here are 3 key takeaways to maximize your charitable contributions: Don't Just Donate Cash, Leverage Assets: Eric reveals a powerful truth: most of our wealth (around 90%) sits in assets, not cash. NCF specializes in helping you convert appreciated assets like stocks into impactful charitable donations. This allows you to deduct the full value without capital gains taxes, maximizing your giving power compared to using post-tax cash. Real Estate for Charitable Giving: Real estate can be a strategic tool for philanthropy. Eric explains how donating a portion of a property to NCF before a sale can lead to significant tax benefits while supporting your chosen causes. NCF can manage these assets, using the generated income for charitable purposes. Creative and Personalized Giving:   Eric's inspiring story showcases the power of creative giving.  He used NCF for his wedding registry, directing well wishes towards missions instead of receiving traditional gifts.  He also shares valuable insights on avoiding common mistakes in charitable giving, especially after selling a business or real estate. Remember, it's not just about financial gain, it's about making a difference.   Listen to the full episodes below to learn more about impactful giving strategies. https://lifebridgecapital.com/2024/02/01/how-can-i-make-a-bigger-impact-eric-most/ https://lifebridgecapital.com/2024/02/01/how-to-be-faithful-steward/ Ready to invest in real estate and make a positive impact?

WS1957 Invest Passively With Private Lending | Alex Breshears

In today's episode, guest host Alina Trigub had the pleasure of speaking to Alex Breshears, a real estate investor and private lending expert. They delved into the fascinating world of private lending, exploring its potential for generating passive income, the key advantages and considerations, and the steps to get started in this exciting field. Alex shared some valuable insights, so let's break down 3 key takeaways to help you decide if private lending is the right fit for you: Passive Income from Real Estate: Private lending offers a way to generate consistent cash flow from real estate projects without the burden of directly managing properties. This can be a great option for investors seeking passive income streams.

WS1936 How These Successful Partners Manager Their Time | Paul Larson & Jeff Guo

Welcome back to your daily real estate syndication show. I'm your host, Deana Berg, and in today's episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Paul Larson & Jeff Guo, two real estate investors who are truly living the dream. They joined us from different parts of the world, with Jeff calling in from Oxford, England, and Paul from Alabama. Jeff and Paul are partners focusing on affordable housing, small multifamily, mobile home, and RV parks. They have a portfolio of over 500 rental units across Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida. Jeff, with a background in asset management overseeing multimillion-dollar properties and a BA in finance and real estate, is also an accomplished endurance athlete. Paul, on the other hand, has extensive experience in sales and has successfully transitioned from the automotive industry to real estate, where he has significantly increased revenue and built strong investor relations. During our conversation, they shared their philosophy on time management and the importance of focusing on high-value activities. They believe in empowering their team to make decisions and solve problems, which allows them to spend more time on creative aspects of the business rather than execution. This approach has led to a more enjoyable work process and has been key to their success. They also discussed their unique deal structure, which focuses on reducing risk and increasing the velocity of capital for their investors. They aim for a buy-and-hold strategy, with a goal to return investor capital within 36 months while maintaining ownership percentages, effectively creating infinite returns for their investors. Jeff and Paul emphasized the importance of mindset in achieving success. They encourage entrepreneurs to work on themselves and become the person who deserves the success they seek. They also highlighted the value of being in the right environment, such as mastermind groups, to find like-minded individuals and potential business partners. It was an inspiring episode that showcased how it's possible to build a business that serves your life, not the other way around. Jeff and Paul are a testament to the power of a strong partnership, a clear vision, and the right mindset.

WS1935 Building Better Real Estate Partnerships | Lance Pederson

In today's episode of the Real Estate Syndication Show, we had the pleasure of welcoming back Lance Pederson, co-founder at Passive Advantage and creator of the Empire Builder Formula. Lance brings a wealth of experience in advising both General Partners (GPs) and Limited Partners (LPs) in the real estate syndication space. Our conversation with Lance was incredibly insightful as we delved into the common frictions that arise between GPs and LPs and how to mitigate them. Lance shared valuable suggestions that can help both GPs and LPs have a smoother and more transparent partnership. Key Takeaways: Transparency and Access to Information : Lance emphasized the importance of GPs being transparent with LPs by sharing detailed financial models and documentation. He suggested using secure data rooms like Google Drive, Dropbox, or DocSend to provide LPs with access to sensitive information under a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). Background Checks and Principal Questionnaires : He recommended that GPs run annual background checks on themselves and upload the results to the data room, along with a principal questionnaire, to build trust with LPs. Realistic Underwriting : Lance discussed the pressure GPs face to inflate their underwriting to show higher potential returns. He advised GPs to be conservative and honest in their projections and to educate LPs on the reality of investment returns in the current economic climate. Personal Habits for Success : Lance attributes his success to his habit of going to bed early and waking up early, which allows him to have a productive start to his day. Spiritual Discipleship : Lastly, Lance spoke about the importance of discipleship and mentoring in one's spiritual journey, highlighting the need to actively help others grow in their faith. We're also excited to announce that Lance will be contributing to the podcast by hosting some shows, bringing his expertise to our listeners.

WS1934 Break The 1031 Cycle | Eric Most

In the final segment of today's episode on the Real Estate Syndication Show, marking the culmination of our five-part series, we're honored to once again engage in an insightful conversation with Eric Most, an expert in strategic real estate investing and philanthropy. Our focus was on the often overlooked aspect of real estate investing: the exit strategy. Many investors find themselves trapped in a cycle of 1031 exchanges, with death being the unintended and grim final exit plan. Eric shed light on a more life-affirming and impactful alternative: gifting real estate assets to a donor-advised fund or a supporting organization like the National Christian Foundation (NCF). This approach not only allows investors to bypass the capital gains tax and depreciation recapture but also provides a fair market value deduction, all without the need to pass away to break the 1031 exchange cycle. Eric explained the tax benefits and differences between private foundations, donor-advised funds, and supporting organizations. He emphasized that while private foundations offer more control, they come with less tax efficiency compared to donor-advised funds and supporting organizations, which offer fair market value deductions and are more cost-effective and simpler to set up. Listeners interested in making a greater impact with their investments and philanthropic efforts were encouraged to explore the resources available at ncfgiving.com . Eric also invited listeners to connect with him directly through the NCF's Rocky Mountains page or on LinkedIn , and to tune into his Generosity Now podcast for more stories and examples of impactful generosity.

WS1933 Impact Investing | Eric Most

In today's episode of the Real Estate Syndication Show, we had the pleasure of continuing our conversation with Eric Most, an expert in stewardship and impact investing. We delved deep into the concept of impact investing and how it can be utilized not only with private capital but also with charitable funds to create a significant positive impact. Eric shared with us the essence of impact investing, which is about making a difference through our investments. He emphasized that more investors are now looking for opportunities to see their money doing good in the world. Eric explained how charitable capital can be used to invest in organizations, funds, or private deals without personal gain, providing a unique way to contribute to meaningful causes. We heard a compelling story about a giver from Grand Junction, Colorado, who used his charitable capital to transform an old motorcycle dealership into a thriving event center and Christian dance studio. This investment not only served the community but also created a cash flow that could be reinvested or donated tax-free. Eric also highlighted other ways people can engage in impact investing, such as pooled investment funds, direct investments in social enterprises, and even equity stakes in for-profit ventures with a social angle, like the crowdfunded show "The Chosen." One particularly touching example was the introduction of tunnel farms at orphanages by Rod Brenneman, former CEO of Butterball. These farms not only provide food and jobs but also help keep families together by addressing financial struggles that often lead to children being orphaned. It's clear from our discussion that impact investing offers a creative and strategic way to make a difference while still considering financial returns. It's not just about giving money away; it's about making investments that continue to grow and benefit various aspects of society. Thank you for tuning in to the Real Estate Syndication Show.

WS1931 Grow Your Real Estate Firm With These Tips | Highlights Bob Knakal

In today's highlight episode of the Real Estate Syndication Show, we feature seasoned real estate veteran, Bob Knakal, who  shared his extensive knowledge and experience in the industry. Bob started his journey in real estate back in 1984, and he's witnessed firsthand the dramatic changes technology has brought to the field. From the days of no computers and payphones to the current era of AI and advanced data analytics, Bob has seen it all. Despite the technological advancements, he points out that the number of property transactions hasn't increased; instead, technology has enabled a smaller group of people to accomplish more. Bob also shared his insights on the current market challenges, particularly the impact of rapid interest rate increases on property values. He advises sellers to hold off unless there's a compelling strategic reason to sell and emphasizes the importance of data quality and analysis in making informed decisions. In the second part of our episode, Bob took us through the incredible journey of growing his firm from just two people and a secretary to over 250 employees and three offices. He attributes this success to a granular understanding of the market, a residential farming approach to commercial real estate, and a strong focus on self-produced, accurate market insights. Bob also highlighted the importance of servant leadership in building a successful team. By empowering employees and making them feel integral to the company's mission, they were able to foster a positive and supportive culture that led to the firm's success. Training was another key factor in their growth. Bob detailed their rigorous training process, which ensured that every broker was fully prepared before engaging with clients. This process included creating maps, walking every street, taking pictures, and understanding the value of properties in their territory. Finally, Bob shared his perspective on the current buying opportunities, comparing them to past market downturns. He believes that those with capital and courage will find this to be one of the best buying opportunities in a lifetime. Thank you for tuning in to today's episode.

WS1930 How to Maximize Asset Value | Eric Most

Welcome back to the daily real estate syndication show. I'm your host, Whitney Sewell, and today we're diving deeper with our guest, Eric Most, into how you can be a better steward of your assets, including property, finances, and time. Eric brings a wealth of knowledge on charitable giving strategies that go beyond the traditional 1031 exchange plan, offering alternatives that don't require you to "die to get out" of your investment. Eric emphasizes the generous nature of U.S. tax laws when leveraged correctly, especially for charitable giving. He explains that the more you give, the more tax benefits you receive. By illustrating a scenario where Pete considered giving up to 50% of his business to NCF before the sale, Eric shows how Pete could potentially give away $1.375 million while only taking home $175,000 less than he initially planned. The conversation also highlights the triple tax benefits of using real estate in charitable strategies: a fair market value deduction, avoidance of depreciation recapture, and tax-free income while the property is held before the sale. Eric points out that these benefits are often overlooked because many CPAs and tax attorneys are not well-versed in charitable giving strategies. He reassures listeners that NCF is equipped to educate and work alongside financial professionals to maximize charitable impact. Eric concludes by reminding listeners that donated funds must be used for charitable purposes and cannot be accessed for personal gain. He also touches on more sophisticated strategies, such as donating intellectual property rights, which can create even greater tax efficiencies.

WS1929 How To Be Faithful Steward | Eric Most

Welcome back to the daily real estate syndication show. I'm your host, Whitney Sewell, and today we're continuing our enlightening conversation with Eric Most, a stewardship and impact expert. We delve deeper into how to maximize exits, whether it's an asset or a business sale, and how to steward resources more faithfully. Eric shares invaluable insights on how to leverage assets for generosity, emphasizing that most of our wealth is tied up in assets rather than cash. He introduces us to the concept that "friends don't let friends give cash," highlighting the potential of using non-cash assets for charitable giving. We discuss the services provided by the National Christian Foundation (NCF), which helps individuals use complex assets like real estate, business interests, and intellectual property for charitable purposes. Eric explains how NCF manages around $7 billion in such assets, creating tax efficiencies and allowing for more charitable giving. One example Eric provides is how real estate can be used as a charitable funding vehicle. By gifting a portion of a property to NCF, you can receive a fair market value deduction and avoid income taxes on the donated portion, while the proceeds can be directed to your charitable goals. Eric also offers guidance on considering debt levels when gifting assets and suggests that assets with less than 40% debt are typically the best candidates for donation. He encourages listeners to consult with their advisors and an NCF representative to identify the most impactful assets for giving. In closing, I remind listeners of the value of today's episode and encourage everyone to like, subscribe, and share the Real Estate Syndication Show with friends interested in making a difference through real estate. Remember, stewardship and impact go hand-in-hand in real estate syndication, and with the right approach, your assets can create a lasting legacy of generosity.

In this episode of the  Real Estate Syndication Show, we had the pleasure of speaking with Eric Most, an expert in stewardship and impact with over 17 years of experience in the insurance and nonprofit sectors.

WS1927 The 90/10 Rule in Real Estate | Roger King

In this insightful episode of The Real Estate Syndication Show, our guest host  Jim Pfeifer spoke with Roger King, a veteran real estate investor with 27 years of experience. Roger shared his wisdom on various topics, including the importance of adapting investment strategies to shifting markets and the significance of thorough documentation and due diligence. Roger's journey from a music major to a successful real estate investor is a testament to the power of mentorship and adaptability. He emphasized the value of having a mentor, especially when transitioning between sectors within the real estate industry, such as moving from wholesaling to fix and flips, or to multifamily investments. We delved into Roger's TEM framework, which stands for Time, Experience, and Money. He explained how investors can leverage their strengths in one of these areas to complement others who may have what they lack, creating a balanced and effective partnership. Roger also shared his personal strategy, the 1090 rule, which involves balancing risk by investing 10% of his portfolio in higher-risk projects and the remaining 90% in stable, cash-flowing properties. This approach has allowed him to navigate through various economic cycles and maintain a steady income stream. Listeners were reminded of the crucial role of proper documentation to avoid being burned by seemingly trustworthy partners. Roger's experiences with legal battles underscored the need for solid agreements and the protection they offer.

WS1922 Avoiding Rookie Mistakes in Real Estate Investing | Steve Suh

In this episode of The Real Estate Syndication Show, guest host Jim Pfeifer had the pleasure of speaking to Steve Suh, a seasoned ophthalmologist and a savvy passive investor in real estate syndications. Steve is not only a colleague and friend but also a co-founder of Leftfield Investors. He shared invaluable insights from his 14 years of experience in passive investing, which he has also detailed in his new Amazon bestselling book, "Avoiding Rookie Errors as a Left Field Investor." Steve emphasized the importance of learning from others' mistakes to avoid common pitfalls in real estate investing. He drew parallels between his surgical practice and investing, highlighting how both fields can benefit from understanding and avoiding past errors. Steve's journey has been marked by both successes and setbacks. He candidly shared his initial forays into oil and gas syndications, which turned out to be a Ponzi scheme, and his subsequent investments that did not yield the expected returns. Despite these challenges, Steve's commitment to real estate remained unshaken, and he learned to diversify his investments across asset classes, sponsors, and geographies. One of the key takeaways from this conversation was the critical role of the operator in a syndication deal. Steve stressed the need to vet not just the syndicator but also the third-party management team that handles the day-to-day operations of the investment.

WS1921 Capital Call Strategies | Aleksey Chernobelskiy

In today's episode  we continued our enlightening conversation with Aleksey Chernobelskiy, an expert in advising both Limited Partners (LPs) and General Partners (GPs) on real estate investments. Aleksey, who has an impressive background managing a $10 billion portfolio at Store Capital and now provides invaluable advice to investors, shared his insights on the often daunting topic of capital calls. Capital calls can be a source of stress for investors, and unfortunately, they're becoming more common in the current economic climate. Aleksey broke down the concept into two types: expected and unexpected capital calls. He emphasized the importance of understanding the difference and being prepared for both scenarios. For LPs who might be facing a capital call, Aleksey provided a step-by-step approach to assess the situation. He stressed the importance of considering whether you have the liquid funds to invest and understanding the legal implications of not participating in the capital call. It's crucial to know the status of your initial investment and to evaluate whether reinvesting through a capital call is the best use of your funds compared to other investment opportunities. One of the key takeaways from our discussion was the need for LPs to approach capital calls as a new investment decision, devoid of emotions. Aleksey urged investors to perform due diligence and ask the right questions to ensure they make informed decisions. He also highlighted the importance of verifying whether the capital call you're facing will be the last one needed for the project. For those looking to dive deeper into the intricacies of capital calls and other investment considerations, Aleksey recommended checking out his articles on his Substack , LP Lessons, where he regularly shares his expertise with the investment community. Remember, whether you're an LP or a GP, being well-informed and prepared can make all the difference when navigating the complexities of real estate syndication.

Welcome back to the Real Estate Syndication Show! I'm your host, Whitney Sewell, and today we had the pleasure of speaking with Aleksey Chernobelskiy, an expert advisor for LP (Limited Partner) investors in the real estate syndication space. Aleksey brings a wealth of knowledge from his experience managing Store Capital's $10 billion commercial real estate portfolio and his impressive educational background as a quadruple major from the University of Arizona. He now shares his insights with nearly 2000 investors through his Substack and assists GPs (General Partners) with various aspects of LP relations. In our conversation, Aleksey emphasized the importance of LPs taking their time to understand deals and maintaining a healthy dose of scepticism when evaluating potential investments. He also highlighted the need for LPs to be sensitive to the GPs' position, as they manage inquiries from various investors. We dove into Aleksey 's article on the top 15 syndication mistakes, discussing how LPs should approach deal splits, preferred returns (PREFs), and IRRs (Internal Rate of Return). Aleksey stressed that LPs should not focus solely on IRRs, as they can be misleading and often depend on aggressive assumptions. Instead, he advises LPs to understand the risks and the factors that could impact the deal's success. We also touched on the topic of fees, with Aleksey  explaining the rationale behind acquisition fees and the importance of transparency from GPs. He pointed out that while fees are necessary for GPs to operate, LPs must understand how these fees impact their investment from day one. For those interested in learning more from Aleksey , you can find him on   LinkedIn , and his Substack , where he regularly shares valuable insights into the world of real estate investing.

WS1918 Building a Successful Real Estate Team | Highlights Nic McGrue

In today's highlight  episode, we feature Nick McGrew, the founder of Polymath Legal PC, a firm specializing in helping real estate investors lawfully raise capital. Nick shared invaluable insights into the importance of having a legal expert on your team, especially when navigating the complex and nuanced laws and regulations of raising capital for real estate projects. Nick's firm focuses on securities, mainly exempt securities, and assists clients in various industries, including multifamily, fix and flip funds, and self-storage, among others. With a decade of experience in syndication, Nick's practice is heavily centered on this area, making up about 70% of their work. During our conversation, Nick highlighted the recent emphasis by the SEC on disclosures, particularly regarding private funds. He explained that confidential side letters and special terms offered to big investors must now be transparent to all members. This change aims to ensure that all investors are on an equal footing, regardless of the amount they invest. Nick also touched on the common issue of finder's fees and the legalities surrounding them. He clarified that paying for introductions is permissible, but compensating based on the amount of capital raised requires a broker-dealer license. He suggested creative ways to work within the legal framework, such as paying for a time period rather than per investor introduction. Lastly, Nick mentioned the upcoming Corporate Transparency Act, which will require owners of corporations and LLCs to file their information with the federal government, affecting the anonymity that some investors prefer.

WS1912 Should You Hire an Accountant? | Kelsey Head

In our final segment with Kelsey Head, a seasoned CPA with nearly two decades of tax experience, we continue our enlightening discussions on the Real Estate Syndication Show. As the co-founder of Head Tiler LLP, Kelsey shares invaluable insights into tax planning for real estate investors. One key aspect that Kelsey emphasizes is the value of bundling services. Her firm offers a comprehensive package that includes tax returns and year-round planning, ensuring that clients feel comfortable reaching out with any questions without worrying about excessive charges. We also explore when it's appropriate for investors to seek professional tax help. While individuals with straightforward tax situations can handle their taxes online, Kelsey advises consulting a professional when dealing with investments, K-1s, passive losses, or real estate transactions. For those investing out of state, Kelsey stresses the importance of filing taxes in the states where properties are located. This enables the utilization of losses against future gains, which may not be possible if state returns are neglected. When choosing a CPA, Kelsey's advice is simple but crucial: find someone you trust and feel comfortable with. Approachability and a willingness to provide advice without excessive charges for every phone call are essential qualities to consider.

WS1909 In And Outs of Becoming a Real Estate Professional | Kelsey Head

In today's episode , we continue our conversation with Kelsey Head, a seasoned CPA and partner at Head Tiler LLP. With 19 years of tax experience, Kelsey shared her insights on how real estate investors can navigate the complexities of tax benefits, particularly focusing on the coveted real estate professional status. Kelsey emphasized that becoming a real estate professional can significantly impact an investor's ability to deduct passive losses and offset income. However, she pointed out that there are stringent requirements and common misconceptions to be aware of. For instance, full-time W-2 employees are unlikely to qualify as real estate professionals since more than 50% of their activities must be in real estate. Kelsey also highlighted the importance of documenting hours meticulously to meet the IRS's criteria.

WS1908 Who Can Actually Deduct Real Estate Losses? | Kelsey Head

In today's episode of the Real Estate Syndication Show, we had the pleasure of speaking with Kelsey Head, a seasoned tax expert and partner at Head Tiler LLP. Kelsey brought her 19 years of tax experience to the table, providing invaluable insights into the tax nuances of passive investments, particularly in real estate syndication. Key Takeaways: Passive Loss Limitations : Kelsey clarified a common misconception among new investors regarding passive losses. The IRS allows the collection of passive income without concern, but passive losses can only be deducted against passive income, not active income like wages from a job. Depreciation and Passive Investments : Many investors are enticed by the promise of significant depreciation in the first year of investment. However, Kelsey pointed out that unless you have other passive income, these losses don't provide an immediate tax benefit. They are not lost but carried forward to offset future gains from the sale of the property. Active Participation Requirements : To be considered active in an investment, one would need to contribute at least 500 hours of work to a single activity. For limited partners in a syndication deal, achieving this level of involvement is highly unlikely. Offsetting Gains with Carried Forward Losses : When a property is sold, and a gain is realized, the passive losses that have been carried forward can be used to offset this gain, reducing the potential tax burden. Investment Timing and Strategy : Kelsey suggested that investors might need to be more strategic with their investment timing, especially with the phase-down of bonus depreciation from 100% in 2022 to 80% in 2023 and further reducing in subsequent years. This episode shed light on the intricacies of passive investment taxation, emphasizing the importance of understanding the IRS rules and planning accordingly. Kelsey's expertise highlighted the need for investors to manage their expectations regarding immediate tax benefits and to consider their long-term investment strategy for optimizing tax advantages.

WS1907 What You Need to Look Out For on Your K-1 Tax Form in 2024 | Kelsey Head

Are you a real estate investor who's puzzled by the K-1 form? In this episode, we've got you covered! Our guest, Kelsey Head, a tax expert with nearly two decades of experience, breaks down everything you need to know about the K-1 form and how to make the most of it. Kelsey emphasizes the importance of verifying personal information on the K-1 as soon as it's received. She points out that checking the basics like name, entity, social security number, address, and EIN can save a lot of time and hassle down the line. She also highlights the significance of ensuring that contributions and distributions are accurately reflected on the form. We discuss the common confusion that arises during the sale year when LPs see a large amount of income reported on their K-1s. Kelsey clarifies that receiving cash from a sale does result in income because it's tied to the gain from the property sale. Another concern for investors is the timing of filing their tax returns, especially if they're waiting on their K-1s. Kelsey reassures  listeners that filing a few weeks after the April 15th deadline is not an issue from an IRS standpoint and that there's no correlation between late filing and increased audit risk. For those seeking further tax advice or who have questions about their K-1s, Kelsey is available via email at khead@headtyler.com , although she did mention that response times might be slower during the busy tax season. Take advantage of her expertise and ensure you have all the information you need for your real estate investments.

WS1901 Is Franchising The Next Best Investment For You? | Kim Daly

Welcome back to another episode of the Real Estate Syndication Show. Today, we had the pleasure of speaking with Kim Daly, a seasoned franchise consultant with nearly 23 years of experience. Kim shared her insights on why real estate investors should consider franchising as a means to diversify their portfolios, especially in the current economic climate where high interest rates and limited real estate availability pose challenges. Kim emphasized the benefits of franchising, such as the ability to scale wealth and the support of established systems and processes. She introduced the concept of semi-absentee ownership, where investors can take on a CEO role and hire a general manager to handle day-to-day operations, allowing for a more hands-off approach to business management. One of the key takeaways from our conversation was the mutual selection process in franchising. It's not just about buying a franchise; it's about being awarded one based on a good fit with the franchisor's culture and expectations. Kim also touched on the reasons behind franchise failures, often attributing them to the owner's inability to follow the system or maintain the necessary mindset for success. For those interested in exploring franchising opportunities, Kim Daly can be reached through her website, The Daly Coach , or her extensive video library on KimDaly.tv. She's committed to educating potential investors to make informed decisions without regrets.

Devin shared an overview of his business, DJE, which has a significant presence in the Texas real estate market, primarily focusing on multifamily properties. Despite the challenges posed by the current economic climate, DJE has been actively pursuing acquisitions, including a 300-unit deal closing this week. Devin emphasized the importance of finding good basis deals and adapting to the high-interest-rate environment. We discussed the necessity of being creative in times when traditional multifamily deals are scarce. Devin highlighted their pivot into land deals, which has proven to be a lucrative and enjoyable venture. By subdividing larger tracts of land and offering them to a different buyer pool, they've been able to maintain deal flow and provide investors with consistent opportunities. Devin also touched on the structure of these land deals, explaining that they are set up as 506B debt offerings, allowing investors to earn a fixed return. This approach has been beneficial for both the company and the investors, offering flexibility and a variety of investment options. The conversation also covered the importance of building and maintaining investor relationships, with referrals being the primary source of new investors.

WS1899 Utilize Data and Analytics in Commercial Real Estate | Stash Gelezinski

In today's episode  we continue our conversation with Stash Gelezinski, a partner at Nedl , and a seasoned expert in the commercial real estate industry. Stash brought to the table over 15 years of experience and shared insights on how AI and machine learning are revolutionizing the way we approach real estate investments. Key Points from the Episode: Nedl's Innovative Platform: Nedl a data analytics firm, is revolutionizing the commercial real estate industry with its innovative platform. They have meticulously cataloged every multifamily property in the United States with 50 units or more, providing clients with updated leads on a monthly basis. This platform allows brokers and operators to optimize their portfolios and maximize their returns by leveraging data-driven insights. The Power of Specificity in Prospecting: Stash emphasizes the importance of specificity when prospecting property owners. Instead of asking if they want to sell any property, it is more effective to target a specific property of interest. This approach leads to more meaningful conversations and increases the likelihood of potential deals. Challenges and Market Predictions: Stash discusses the challenges faced in 2023, specifically the gap between buyer and seller expectations. He predicts that the real estate market will improve as the Federal Reserve indicates potential interest rate decreases. This could help narrow the expectation gap and create more favorable conditions for transactions. Advice for Passive Investors: Stash advises passive investors to thoroughly understand the sponsor they are investing with and the metrics of the deal. It is crucial to assess the sponsor's track record and evaluate the feasibility of their projections. By conducting due diligence, passive investors can make informed decisions and mitigate risks. Listeners interested in Nedl's  AI platform can visit nedl.us for more information or to request a demo.

WS1895 The TCO Method For Property Management | Highlights Andy McQuade

In this highlight episode we feature Andy McQuade, a seasoned consultant in the commercial multifamily real estate sector. Andy shared his insights on common issues faced by operators and how his Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) method is revolutionizing the way they manage and increase their properties' net operating income (NOI) and return on investment (ROI). Andy's background includes over two decades in the supply side of real estate, which has equipped him with a deep understanding of the challenges operators face. His transition to consulting has allowed him to leverage this experience to help operators enhance their portfolios by adopting best practices from across the industry. Throughout the conversation, Andy emphasized the importance of looking beyond the initial purchase price of products and considering the long-term costs associated with maintenance, utilities, and disposal. He provided compelling examples, such as the choice between traditional smoke detectors and 10-year sealed units, and the decision to replace flappers in toilets with more durable options. These examples highlighted how operators can save significant amounts of money and time by making more informed purchasing decisions. Andy also touched on the importance of process costing, which includes all expenses related to a maintenance task, not just the cost of materials but also the labor and associated overheads. He stressed the need for operators to think about the end goal and how every decision, no matter how small, should align with the overall business strategy.

WS1892 Building Intimate Spaces and Robust Cultures | Nelson Marsh

In today's episode, we have the pleasure of welcoming back Nelson Marsh, a visionary in the realm of real estate and hospitality. Nelson previously enlightened us on the concept of irreplaceable real estate and the Marsh Collective's innovative approach to development. If you missed that insightful discussion, I highly recommend giving it a listen. Our conversation today took a deep dive into the Marsh Collective's unique philosophy of "redemptification" in real estate, a term coined by Nelson's father, John Marsh. This concept is a compassionate response to the negative aspects of gentrification, focusing on community enhancement and preservation rather than displacement. Nelson shares his personal journey, from being a homeschooled prodigy to a passionate entrepreneur in the wine industry. His story is a testament to the power of resilience and learning through failure. Despite the success of his wine bar, Nelson faced significant challenges, including theft by trusted employees and a devastating injury. These hardships, compounded by the impact of COVID-19, led to the difficult decision to close his business. However, Nelson's entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to hospitality didn't end there. He returned to work with his family at the Marsh Collective, applying the hard-earned lessons from his wine bar to create spaces that truly resonate with people. Nelson emphasized the importance of right-sizing in the hospitality industry, advocating for intimate, well-crafted experiences over expansive, impersonal venues. As we wrapped up, Nelson left us with a powerful message: love of place should be the primary strategy in real estate development. It's not just an underlying sentiment; it's the driving force behind creating spaces that people are drawn to and where businesses can thrive. For those interested in learning more about Nelson's work or the Marsh Collective, he invites you to visit their website or tune into the Redemptification Podcast . And if you ever find yourself in Opelika, Nelson would be delighted to show you around and share the love that they pour into every project.

WS1891 Unique Strategies in Real Estate Restoration | Nelson Marsh

In today's episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Nelson Marsh from the Marsh Collective, a company that specializes in restoring historic properties in Opelika, Alabama. Nelson shared his passion for revitalizing old buildings and how his family's commitment to their town has led to a remarkable transformation of the local real estate landscape. Nelson Marsh and the Marsh Collective have restored over 300 historic properties in Opelika, Alabama, bringing new life to the town. Their unique approach to real estate development focuses on "irreplaceable real estate" and the belief that every building, no matter its condition, holds inherent value. By restoring these properties, they not only create profit but also foster community and hospitality. One of the most captivating stories Nelson shared was about a young entrepreneur who wanted to start a coffee shop with limited resources. The Marsh Collective took a chance on him, providing a small space and guidance. That coffee shop has since grown into a thriving business, contributing significantly to the town's appeal. Nelson's philosophy emphasizes the importance of making an impact and investing with love and care. He encourages listeners to become "somewhere people" who are deeply invested in their communities and actively shape them.

WS1866 Tips to Grow your Real Estate Firm | Bob Knakal

With over 6,000 transactions worth over $23 billion under his belt, Bob shares his strategies for growth and how he and his partner scaled their business from a small team to over 250 people and three offices. Bob emphasizes the importance of being strategic in the real estate industry. He highlights the need to have a clear plan and outlines the specific steps they took to achieve their impressive growth. One key strategy they implemented was a residential farming approach to commercial real estate. By deeply understanding specific neighborhoods and markets, they were able to differentiate themselves from other brokers and gain a competitive advantage. Another crucial aspect of their growth strategy was their commitment to servant leadership. Bob and his partner focused on empowering their team members, building their self-esteem, and supporting their personal and professional growth. They created a collaborative and supportive culture that encouraged everyone to exceed their own expectations. Bob also emphasizes the importance of tracking key metrics in both personal and professional life. In business, they closely monitored volume and value metrics such as the number of buildings sold, dollar volume of sales, price per square foot, and cap rates. This allowed them to stay informed about market trends and make informed decisions. Bob's advice for success includes disciplined prospecting and networking.

WS1865 How Real Estate has Evolved Since 1984 | Bob Knakal

In this podcast episode, Knakal, a highly experienced commercial real estate professional, discusses the impact of technology on the industry. With a career spanning over 40 years, Bob has witnessed significant changes in the real estate landscape since he started in 1984. He highlights that while technology has improved efficiency and productivity, it hasn't necessarily resulted in a substantial increase in sales or transactions. Bob emphasizes that the real estate business is ultimately an information and relationship-driven industry. While technology plays a crucial role, it is only effective when high-quality and reliable data is inputted into the various technological platforms. He stresses the importance of accurate and verified data, which his team at JLL focuses on by self-producing their own data sets rather than relying on third-party aggregators. Looking ahead, Bob anticipates that the next five years will bring even more significant changes to the industry, particularly with the advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and other technologies. He mentions that AI can enhance processes and make them more efficient, but data collection should still be done by practitioners to ensure accuracy. Bob also shares some of the technologies currently being utilized by his team, such as the CRM systems Snapforce and RealNex. These systems help track and manage communication with clients, improving overall efficiency and effectiveness.  Overall, Bob's insights shed light on the evolution of technology in the real estate industry and provide valuable advice for navigating the current market challenges and opportunities.  To connect with Bob and learn more about his insights and expertise, email him directly at bob.knakal@jll.com .

WS1885 Market Trends You Need To Be Aware Of | Dan French

In this episode,  Whitney Sewell continues the conversation with guest Dan French, who shares insights on the real estate market and their decision to become net sellers of assets in 2019. They discuss the reasons behind their decision, including the frothiness in the market and historically low cap rates. Despite their successful platform, they felt it was the right time to sell and ended up selling about a billion dollars in assets. Dan also talks about their current focus on market trends and their strategy for buying projects in the future. They have observed a gathering storm in the market, especially in the multifamily space, where many buyers have paid high purchase prices and put floating rate debt with short interest rate caps. As a result, they anticipate a wave of distressed sellers who will need to sell their assets at a lower price or take on additional equity. To prepare for this opportunity, Dan and his team are raising a fund to have the necessary capital to take advantage of these deals. They are looking for jewel assets in great locations that are downside protected and offer strong cash flow. While their previous focus was primarily on multifamily, they have now opened up to other asset classes, such as hospitality, triple net deals, industrial, and possibly medical office. Dan emphasizes the importance of understanding supply in the market, especially in the multifamily sector. With the low interest rate environment, many construction projects were initiated, leading to a surge in supply. However, with the current high interest rate environment, new projects are not getting greenlit, resulting in a potential tapering off of supply in the future. In terms of challenges, Dan mentions deal flow and finding great capital partners who are philosophically aligned. He also highlights the importance of track record when considering passive investments and advises investors to do their homework and be selective. Dan shares his disciplined habits that have contributed to his success, including prioritizing faith, family, and fitness. He believes in being mission-focused in his business and empowering others to live abundantly. He also gives back through his involvement with the John Paul II Life Center, which supports pregnant women and families in need.

WS1715 Whitney's Journey | Highlights Whitney & Chelsea Sewell Part 3

As we journey retrospectively through our experiences in real estate syndication, Chelsea and I find a common thread - the unity and faith we discovered in each other and in God, which served as our guiding beacon. Interestingly, one of our initial disagreements stemmed from a purchase I made without consulting Chelsea. Today, we laugh about it, but it serves as a valuable lesson on the importance of synchronicity, particularly when steering through a mission that began long before we reached where we are today. We delve deeper into our narrative as we ponder over our adoption journey. A path steeped in faith, it led us to unexpected destinations like Ethiopia, culminating in the adoption of our son, Samuel. We candidly discuss the financial aspects of the adoption process, the divine intervention in our second adoption, and express our thoughts on the need for a more streamlined process. We highlight the vital role of family and church support during such transformative times. At the core of our adoption journey, we birthed the Life bridge Foundation. We explore how our experiences shaped our mission, and the subsequent blessings that Life Bridge Capital has extended to many. Our conversation shifts towards our 13 years of marital bliss, the grace it has been immersed in, and its influence on our personal and professional lives. We emphasize the potency of faith and a strong partnership in real estate syndication and wealth building, drawing parallels from our own journey. So, come along with us as we navigate through our experiences, lessons learned, and the faith that has served as our bedrock. Whether you're intrigued by real estate, adoption, or simply keen to listen to a story of faith and personal growth, we believe our dialogue will strike a chord with you.

WS1681: Revolutionizing Real Estate with NFT’S | Ori Ohayon

In this episode, our guest Ori Ohayon discusses the importance of the mantra "failure isn't final" and the resilience required to succeed in the NFT space. He talks about how he has failed many times in his life and career but has always gotten back up and kept going. Ohayon believes that mental resilience is crucial to success and that taking hits and being told no without giving up is essential. He also quotes Winston Churchill: "Success is what happens when you go from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm." Ohayon emphasizes the importance of perseverance and the willingness to keep trying even in the face of setbacks. Quotes Would you anticipate that an ancillary effect of this would be to drop the cost of title insurance because it's going to be easier to ascertain what's on the title? We've created a straightforward business model that promotes adoption. Our business model is predicated on the fact that you can make that transition on an individual title basis cleaner, and smoother than a regular transaction leaving the title in the antiquated system. But because of that, I think it's got much more capacity for innovation. I think the biggest risk is going to be regulatory. It's at least five years before it even gets looked at on that scale. Success happens when you go from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.

WS1661 - Building Businesses and Investing in the Future | Justin Sloan

Justin Sloan, CEO of Sloan Capital, discusses the importance of discipline and consistency in building successful businesses. His background in the cell phone industry taught him the value of commission-based pay and the drive to work hard and earn more. After scaling his cell phone business, he invested in real estate, eventually accumulating enough properties to retire at the age of 32. Sloan emphasizes the importance of building a team of individuals who are good at implementing systems and consistently executing tasks to achieve success. Key Takeaways: Discipline and consistency are crucial to building successful businesses. Commission-based pay can be a strong motivator to work hard and achieve success. Building a team of individuals who are good at implementing systems and consistently executing tasks can lead to long-term success. Justin Sloan funded his early business ventures by working in his stores 80 hours a week and living below his means. He gradually expanded his business by hiring more people, taking out loans, and opening more stores. After seeing the writing on the wall about the future of the cell phone business, he started exploring other opportunities, including real estate. He scaled his real estate business quickly by hiring a property manager and using his profits to buy more properties. He has since sold much of his real estate in anticipation of rising interest rates and is now focused on building another chain of businesses, using private money to beat up landlords who have been greedy and raising rents without providing value. Justin is a data-driven investor who believes that data tells a story and that it's up to us to interpret that story and make decisions accordingly. He predicts that there will be less properties trading in the next few years due to rising interest rates and that many investors who have overpaid for properties and raised rents without providing value will face challenges when it comes time to refinance. Justin believes that cash-in refinancing is the future and that he will be able to take advantage of the upcoming cycle to beat up landlords and get better leases for his businesses, paying investors when nobody else can.

So I discovered the industry and here I am.” - Sarah Miskelly “Once you start posting people in your network that have known you for a long time, they will start asking questions.

What industries employ the most people?  Tweetables: “If I find that you have overcharged and are taking advantage of one of my clients, there are no second chances.” “You got to just be ultra-cautious, especially when you're not from that region or that country, because they see outside international investors as a one-dollar sign.” “Safety is not an issue that I've ever been concerned with in Panama. The only time you ever hear about something violent is domestic. I have been down there since 2012. And I've only once had an encounter that created some concern.” “By being intricately involved in all the different projects and buildings with different developers that we work with, we have a pretty good strong handle on what is a good value.” “We negotiate with the developers to get a really below market retail price that they're selling for the projects that we offer to our clients.” “You would need to get with a CPA, which we do have CPAs that we work with, and that we do recommend to actually see how that ties into your plan.” “Your taxes in Panama are substantially lower for everything.” Link Mentioned in Today’s Episode: EvieBrooksPanama.com MyPanamanVacationRealty.com About Evie Brooks Evie Brooks is an international real estate mentor, coach, and investor, with a special focus on Panama.

WS1639 - Investing Internationally (Part 1) | Evie Brooks

Investing in real estate properties abroad can be a lucrative and rewarding venture for savvy investors. Today, purchasing property overseas has become increasingly accessible to individuals seeking to diversify their investment portfolio. However, it requires a comprehensive understanding of the local market and legal framework, as shared by our guest, Evie Brooks of My Panama Vacation Realty. Join Evie as she shares how international investing has changed her life and how this can be possible for you too.   Key Points From This Episode: What made her want to migrate to Panama and invest in real estate? What are some of her areas of focus in her business? What is international investing and why might we choose to invest in another market outside of the US? What is the cash flow like in international investing? What are the other factors that we need to know about international investing? What kind of business plan would international investors be looking for? What are the other strategies than international investors should be thinking about?  Tweetables: “I love teaching people what I have learned just in investing in general because it works anywhere in that industry, with people wanting to look at options instead of their home country.” “I love teaching people and as a result of that, I'm bringing to others the continued mentorship and support with all of my clients.” “The international market is such a niche market. And it's becoming a true buzz of what's happening within the world, not just the United States or North America, but all over the world.” “It's just a fun industry. It's like helping people improve their life without having all the pitfalls that most people do have when they try to do international investing.” “You want to diversify your portfolio, and that's a whole training in and of itself.”  “You need to know what those goals are. And most people don't even know what their own goals are. So that's the first thing I want to do: we sit down with people and help them determine what their goals are.” “Panama is very, very, very easy. I can have someone in a deal within 72 hours, say, ‘Wow, just pictures and videos, contract signed, sealed, delivered everything done, they own the property.’” “I'm very selective about who I work with. I do not work with just any old Joe developer, because you don't know what you're getting.”  “We don't work with one developer. And if you're working with someone, be cautious if you're working with somebody that represents one developer.” “You need to know what it is that you're trying to accomplish before you go to do this.” “In international investing, you can get into non-recourse debt deals, you can get into no credit financial requirement deals, you can get developer financing deals, if you know where t

WS1638 - Tips to Develop Short-Term Rentals | #Highlights

In this #Highlights episode, we look back at our conversations with Blake Dailey and Alex Jarbo. Blake Dailey is a multifamily real estate investor as well as an Air Force Contracting Officer. He used the BRRRR strategy to buy, rehab, rent, and refinance residential properties, and then do short-term rentals using Airbnb, which is where the ‘nb in BRRRR’nb comes from! Short-term rentals have gained momentum especially since people are starting to travel again after the lockdowns caused by the pandemic were lifted.

Key Points From This Episode:  Blake describes going through the real estate investing process with his wife. How many units did it take to replace his W2 income? How to branch into commercial multifamily from short-term rentals. How to finance short-term rentals through creative financing and relationships with local banks. How to transition from self-managing the property to bringing on a property manager. Alex shares his first real estate ground-up development.

Short-term rentals are properties that offer experience in themselves. How did a mentor help Alex to drive his business forward? Alex details the short-term rental projects he is syndicating. Tweetables: “Commercial multifamily is the way to do less transactions, have bigger payouts, and have the time reward be more, economies of scale, really. You hear that all the time in commercial multifamily. It’s scalable and there’s efficiencies built in.” –Blake Dailey “When I look at my goals and where I wanted to be at that time, the way to fast track that is through short-term rentals. I think that’s why a lot of people gravitated towards that in the last three years because they realized how many short-term rentals can actually make.” –Alex Jarbo Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode: Blake Dailey on LinkedIn Multifamily Journey website Alex Jarbo on LinkedIn Sargon Investments website WS870: Financial Freedom in One Year with Multifamily BRRRR’nb with Blake Dailey WS1251: Syndication of Short-Term Rental Development with Alex Jarbo About Blake Dailey Blake Dailey is a multifamily investor interested in long-term wealth creation and helping passive investors achieve returns th

WS1637: Why It is Good to Invest in Senior Living | #Highlights

Will senior living be a smart addition to your investment portfolio? In recent years, senior living has proven its market resilience throughout all economies providing a stable ROI for investors.

Having experienced first-hand the deficient care of his grandfather at a large, industrial-type senior living facility, Brandon vowed to improve the industry by starting his own senior living company that provides better quality care to the elderly. On the other hand, Adam talks about demographic trends in senior living and the similarities between the senior living model and multifamily.

Demographic trends in senior housing and in real estate in general. How senior housing is similar to multifamily. Reasons why senior housing is a good investment. Staffing structure and requirements of a senior housing facility. Staff reputation and ability to provide excellent care matter most in senior housing.  Tweetables: “This concept (senior living) is able to operate in all areas and it probably operates easier in towns where there aren’t tons of people.” –Brandon Schwab “Because of that need-driven nature of the business, what we find is that in various economic conditions, there’s always demand.” –Adam Benton Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode: Brandon Schwab on LinkedIn Shepherd Premier Senior Living website Boutique Senior Living Fund website Adam Benton on LinkedIn Stellar Senior Living website WS1348: Syndicating Senior Living Assets | Brandon Schwab WS1374: Why Invest in Senior Housing | Adam Benton About Brandon Schwab The visionary behind Shepherd Premier, Brandon is on a mission to raise the bar for senior living.

And those accounts are really special accounts that are specially enshrined in the US banking system, they are exempt from FDIC limits.” “You should absolutely be using a real estate trust account. That's the practice.” “That's something we've been doing for quite a while long before the Silicon Valley Bank collapse, because we feared something like this could happen, we never would have predicted that exact thing.” “So we'd been growing just organically with real estate a side hustle.

WS1611: How Lenders Support Fix-and-Flip Investors | Stephanie Casper

Whether it’s short-term financing that covers the cost of purchasing a property, or a small loan for renovation expenses, investors need to work with lenders who can provide advice on market trends, property values, and renovation costs.

What's something that she’s doing or has done over the last six months that she’s implemented to drive development in one of the areas? Tweetables:   “Regardless of the interest rate environment, there is always going to be a need for housing, and flippers are often best suited to delivering those homes.” “It's not just the business plan and math problem [for the flipper]; it's a bit of an emotional buy because you want to prove you can do it and help your ego along. That's where a lot of new investors get caught.” “What is the return on your capital that you need? What is the cost? What’s the math? That's really how you avoid the emotional buy for sure.” “Using bridge loans to buy stabilized and then refinancing that whole BRRR Strategy for investors is another way that we are augmenting that fix-and-flip demand.”  “Higher interest rates are still going to be around for a few years, but they're not going to be around forever.” Link Mentioned in Today’s Episode: Kiavi Stephanie Casper on LinkedIn About Stephanie Casper Stephanie Casper is the Chief Revenue Officer of Kiavi.

Halfway through renovations, they had an epiphany – ‘let’s not work to pay a mortgage for the next 30yrs… let’s build passive income through real estate instead’. So, they finished that single-family renovation, sold the property, and worked on a foreclosed duplex. Next was a fourplex.

They're not going to be 100% transparent with you.” “For us to have a culture of love from the very, very top of Life Bridge Capital all the way down to the border at one of our properties in Colorado Springs, the only way to do that is to take over your own management company.” “And because you trust me, and we built that trust up, it's not like I'm not going to make mistakes. I'm going to make mistakes, actually. But I'm going to tell you my mistakes.” “I'm trying to give you guys perfect information so that you're able to make the very best investment decision possible.” Link Mentioned in Today’s Episode: Sutton Turner on Twitter Sutton Turner on LinkedIn Life Bridge Management About Sutton Turner Sutton Turner is the CEO of Life Bridge Management.

Let's prove that we know what we're doing. And let's move on to the next one.” “So being a broker definitely gave a lot of insight into property valuations.” “When you're just starting out, I always tell people, ‘Do not commit to a long term timeframe, on a project. And when you're starting out, you're probably starting with smaller properties.’”  “We started out focused on very small properties because of equity raising. It's easier to raise equity when you have less of it to raise.” “You don't want to tie up a deal for too long with the debt. You don't want to over invest your own capital. You're not in this business to buy one property, you're in this business to buy 10-12, whatever that number may be.” “You don't want to over allocate your resources.

Market diversification is one thing that’s always emphasized in investing circles. But there are those who dare to concentrate on a particular market and have grown their businesses to success. In this episode, Harvard Grace Corporation CEO Stewart Heath explains to us why his hyper-focused property investing strategy has worked for him.

What is his best source for meeting new investors today? How does he give back to the community?   Tweetables:   “So these days, I do syndications, not only to give other people opportunities to get into real estate deals. But it's also risk diversification.” “We make sure that there are plenty of reserves in all of our deals from the get-go.” “And because you don't know what's going to happen, I've also focused completely on cash flowing properties.” “That's what investing is about. It's about recurring cash flow.” “Hyper-focus is really for me, I'm not saying that I will never do anything. In other markets, the Tennessee Valley is fairly target rich, and I like to be one hour away from our deals.” “We manage our properties, we do the property management. I think the property management model is broken. And so we sort of do that." "We take a customary fee for that, but trust me, we're losing our shirts doing that. But to me, it is so important to do the boots on the ground management to deliver on the proforma that has been sold to the investors.” “The model is broken, where you can't really hire top notch people without them basically taking on more than they can handle and make that make that a business itself.” “Self-storage is a great way to play the multifamily movement.” “We feel like being an expert in the community makes it not so necessary for us to focus on asset class expertise if there is such a thing as asset class expertise.” “If we can deliver our investors a reasonable return and still have a 1.2X debt service coverage to us, that's a good deal.” Link Mentioned in Today’s Episode: Harvard Grace Capital Harvard Grace Advisors Stewart Heath on LinkedIn <a href

WS1597: Working with Bankers to Secure a Loan | Brian Tobler

Working with a real estate banker can be an important part of financing a real estate investment. How should you build a strong relationship to help you secure financing for future projects? In this episode, Brian Tobler of Tobler Capital helps us understand how to raise one’s chances of securing a loan when working with a banker. Take it from this former vice president of the real estate division of two of Denver’s top banks.   Key Points From This Episode: What were the lessons he learned from his banking career that he applies today in real estate investing? Why did he leave the banking industry to establish his real estate firm? How did he educate himself to learn about the industry?

What are the things that investors need to be aware of when securing a loan? What are his predictions for the real estate market? What factors helped him improve his business? What is the best source for meeting new investors today? What are some of the most important metrics that he tracks?

And I think that's where we have to catch ourselves and say, ‘Does this make sense?’”  “It's having your package clean and orderly. So if you have your underwriting that you can submit with your proforma, you have your property and project information all laid out.” “So bringing all that in a Dropbox file, or in some way that the banker can get it, read it, review it and make a quick decision, they can get it into their team into the underwriting a lot quicker." “If somebody comes unorganized, or they're missing a lot of the material, or there's their financial zone data or something, it starts to raise red flags.” “Usually, bankers are pretty willing, unless they're just totally overwhelmed. But if you can get them out to a coffee meeting, or a lunch, get to know their personality, and then talk through what you're doing.” “If you've done your homework, the key is to just create a relationship with the banker. Your banker should be one of your colleagues, friends, trusted advisors that you can lean on and ask questions. Bankers are always happy to do that.” “You get to help a lot more people than you know, if you're just helping each operator as they come there.” “I jumped in and started educating myself, started networking and the more I did that I really enjoyed it.

WS1586: Passively Investing in Syndications | Litan Yahav

Real estate syndicators harness their expertise when it comes to managing real estate projects. However, what separates the best investors from the mediocre ones is their ability to look at deals with confidence and create a plan for success.

How are investments regulated in Israel? How many deals did he invest in passively and what types of assets does he deal with? What are the questions that he could have asked the past operators that he previously worked with?  hHow does he go about determining the level of trust with somebody before making his investment?

What's the one thing that has contributed to his success? How does he give back to the community?   Tweetables:   “It's all about the numbers, it's just like looking at an underlying asset.” “I don't really care as long as the numbers match what I'm looking for, and I'm looking for higher risk, higher returns…around 50% and 80% IRR is what I usually look for in a deal.” “I do think that there's going to be a lot of deals in the market, you want to find operators that know how to identify those deals.” “The numbers need to be more conservative, I think, as opposed to what they were in the past few years.” “So low and the asset value makes sense, I think now moving forward, that'll be more sort of lower, so you'll have less loan to value. I think it just makes it a safer deal.”  “I always track IRR. I think that's the most important metric that exists. Most people don't really understand that metric.” “The IRR is the only metric that you compare apples to apples. If I put $100,000 in the stock market, but $100,000 into a real estate investment, the only way to compare those two is using IRR.” “What contributed to my success is finding good people to invest with and stay on top of my investments.” “I think being on top of everything, and finding good people contributed to my success.” Link Mentioned in Today’s Episode:   Litan Yahave on LinkedIn Vyzer.co litan@vyzer.co </p

WS1580: Strategic Investing Beyond Wall Street | John Michailidis

How many times have you heard about the idea that Wall Street is the key to securing your financial freedom? High finance may have made millionaires out of speculators, but is this the right path for you?   Author, real estate investor and lawyer John Michailidis debunks such an idea in this episode to help people stop falling for Wall Street’s lies. Join us to learn what it means to invest strategically and realize what true financial freedom is like.   Key Points From This Episode:  What got him started in investing? How does he define investing? What is the difference between speculation and investing? How do we break away from the idea that Wall Street will secure our financial future? How do we think differently about using our 401(k)? What is the difference between strategic and tactical planning?  What does he think about the “Become Your Own Banker” concept? Is this legit? What are his projections on the investing market in the next 6, 12 and 18 months? How does he give back to the community?   Tweetables:  “I see so many people are going to get hurt because they've bought into this lie that investing in Wall Street is the way to financial freedom.” “What your employer tells you to do with the 401(k) to me, is not really investing.” “If you deep dive into what most people are investing in, many people don't own a single investment. Their entire portfolio is a speculation. And that's scary.” “Speculation is literally gambling. You put your money on the table and hope you win something back – you could crap out, you could lose everything.” “Estate planning is an important part of your strategic plans.” “Whatever you want to do, that's up to you. Just know what you're doing. Know the pros and cons of what you're doing.” “Why not pull your money out of that rig system and set up your own retirement plan?” “Investing strategically is a team sport. You have to have estate planning in place, you have to have asset protection planning in place.” “Strategic investing is the domain of experts. These are the domains of people that do this all day, every day.” “People tend to be very gracious if you're sincere, and not abusive with your requests on their time.” “You probably should have a little pile of gold and silver sitting somewhere safe, just in case.” “People need to get out of the Wall Street rat race, and really start taking charge of their financial futures.” “We bought into this lie that investing in Wall Street is the way to financial freedom. And I just want to help as many people as I can to avoid possible dire circumstances in the future.” Link Mentioned in Today’s Epi

But I've got to go somewhere with people. And so I say, we're going to go in the direction of being debt free.” “It's all based around this idea of how to utilize the lines of credit effectively. And so, when you think of what are examples of lines of credit, a credit card is a line of credit. That's probably the most universal example. It's not what I use for showing people how to do this.

But, the really big one that people are going to do, for the most part, to make this system work is a home equity line of credit.” “I want to make sure that there is safety, there is buffer because life happens.” Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode: Howard Polansky on LinkedIn Cash Flow Coach USA website About Howard Polansky Howard Polansky DMD, MBA started his career as a dentist for the United States Navy.  After serving his country, he began a dental practice in 2009 in Austin, Texas.  After 9 years, Howard’s older son developed an acute medical condition, landing his son in the ICU for 19 days at the local children’s hospital.  With much angst and contemplation, Howard realized his future path did not involve dentistry.  After his

And if they say, ‘No,’ I don't have to spend the next 10, 15, 20 minutes explaining the project. And I get the ‘No’ idea.” “You should communicate with investors every month or every three months, at least.” “And one thing why they want to be on the management committee is they learn.

So some guys say value-add, it's just going to be the common areas, the carpets, the lights, the signage. No, we're going full gauntlet here.” “You have to consider that the entry barrier into multifamily is quite high simply because you have to have a closing track record with some sort of brokerage. And you have to develop that over a period of time.” “What we really have to focus on buying, there's a lot of things that have to go right.” “We're a market maker anywhere we're going.” Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode: Steven Gesis on LinkedIn Smartland website WS1534: Scaling from Single-Family to Multifamily | Steven Gesis About Steven Gesis Steven is responsible for the strategic direction and performance of all teams within Smartland.

WS1534: Scaling from Single-Family to Multifamily | Steven Gesis

Steven shares they participated in some crowdfunding to raise funds for their single-family rental business. Why did Steven and Smartland decide to transition to multifamily? Tweetables: “You know, we sought out those deals, we found what was tough to find. We did the tough things we did on our own against the lot of naysayers that said, ‘No, you can't do that. Oh, that's not a good business. Oh, that's not popular. Oh, that's different.’ You know, that's not something we do.” “We are able to look at things globally and triangulate information from multiple views. And, I think that's really been a successful part of our journey, is that we're not necessarily singular in our one path.” “The beautiful thing about SFR (single-family rental) is its ability, how agile you can be with it if you do have the scale.” “At the end of the day, it does boil down to one thing, it's still grit.” “As demand grows also on that (multifamily) side of interest, we're looking to have a larger footprint, a larger geographic distribution. We've really honed our technology down where we are looking to build that exponential momentum.” “So we're heavy value-add opportunity buyers, that's who we are. That's what we hunt for. That's why we have the outsized returns, we’re very disciplined in that perspective.” Links Me

And if it isn't, you have to step in there and sort of steer them in whatever direction that needs to go.” “I do think, especially now, with the way things are, you have to be very, very on top of the numbers.” “We're gonna have to work twice as hard as we did two years ago, to make things happen, essentially, to have positive outcomes.

WS1530: Investing in Industrial Properties | David Cruz-Palmer

With consistent cash flow and relatively higher real estate returns, it’s no wonder why industrial real estate has earned the attention of many investors. Whether it's a warehouse, factory, or logistics management area, the minimal maintenance that this asset class requires makes it an ideal option for those who want to diversify their portfolio. In today’s episode, David Cruz-Palmer, founder and operator of Longyards Storage, relates how he successfully focused on syndicating investments and industrial properties that generate passive income and tax-advantaged returns for equity partners.    Key Points From This Episode:   How did he become involved in industrial real estate investing? What propelled him to take such a leap after more than a decade in the corporate world? What did he learn from his experience working in a call center? Why is industrial real estate profitable? What are the advantages of industrial property investing? How does he give back to the community? Tweetables:  “When I was just starting out, I was what I call the world's worst mortgage broker. I did absolutely zero deals for probably three to four months.” “There's a real shortage of demand for what's called flex-warehouse, or a shortage of supply for these 30-foot tall ceilings because the concept of building it to that size is relatively new.” “You ask about why industrial? It's just because there isn't very much of it.” “Industrial [real estate] seems really strong. There are a lot of macroeconomic forces [and] factors that also point to the fact that industrial might remain strong for years to come.” “More manufacturing is coming back to the US, so there's more storage for products. And that just means that there's going to be more need for industrial space.” “It's a matter of just trying to relate to people and understand their perspective. I feel like that's my best way of trying to make a friend.” “The things that are good from an investor's perspective aren't necessarily good from a bank's perspective.” “But for industrial or for any commercial, there are leases, and they're years long. And the credit of the tenant has a big impact on the quality of the deal.” “If you can get 10 or 20% seller care and only put 10 or 15% down, then that does a lot for your equity multiple, whether you have low rates, or seven, 6.5% rates, which is what I'm seeing today.”   Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode:   Corridor Capital Partners LinkedIn David Cruz-Palmer's email   About David Cruz-Palmer  David Cruz-Palmer is a principal at Corridor Capital Partners Storage.

And, if you go from 20, to 25, to 30, to 40, that type of amortization really increases cash flow.” “It (HUD loan) takes time. There are multiple meetings and you have to invest significant money into your architecture, engineering, and civil, to get it to a point where HUD will actually officially give you the loan.” “HUD will do their own research. They'll make sure that we've got a feasibility study. They'll make sure there's a significant need for apartments in that area.” “The more doors you have, the quicker your wealth and your cash flow will multiply.” Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode: Tom Burns Email Tom Burns on LinkedIn Presario Ventures website <a href='https://www.amazon.com/Why-Docto

Like my marketing funnel interacts with my acquisitions person, my acquisition person, and how they close interacts with my CRM, which interacts with how much money I get in my checking account when I close on a deal, right? These are all interacting pieces.” “You could spend all your time making every other link in the chain stronger, it doesn't make the chain any better. You have to make the weakest link stronger, and sort of back this up and say, ‘Okay, let's bring this down to Earth and talk about marketing.’” “The more specific the keywords you put in, the fewer the amount of people you are going to get in front of and the more focused those people are going to be.” “The number one rule of being successful in the market is don't lose money and stay in the market.” Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode: AdWord Nerds website WS1485: Why I Gave Up Teaching To Focus on REI Marketing | Dan Barrett About Dan Barrett Dan Barrett helps real estate investors get more leads and deals online.

I wanted to be the best in the world at something and I like to think of myself as fairly self-aware.” “Google AdWords, also known as Google ads, I think actually, the technical term is now Google ads, right? Is Google's ad platform. Right? So if you are paying to generate impressions, which are views on ads, you're paying to generate clicks, you are paying to generate leads, either inside Google search on the YouTube advertising platform, if you are running ads on any number of third-party websites, like espn.com, or cnn.com, or The New York Times or whatever they're run Google ads, you are advertising on the Google ad platform. And for me, Google ads is probably the single most critical paid acquisition channel that you can run.” “Google ads, particularly search ads tend to close more often, they tend to close more quickly, they tend to be easier to reach, it is just a profoundly powerful channel for reaching people who are ready to go.” “Google as an ad platform occupies this really critical role for most real estate businesses, especially real estate investors. That's what makes it so special.” About Dan Barrett Dan Barrett helps real estate investors get more leads and deals online.

Darin has a diverse background as a CPA, software sales executive, capital markets, loan trading, business owner, to multifamily syndication. He shares about the run-up to that first deal, including finding the perfect partner – someone more experienced from whom he learned a lot and who gave additional credibility to the deal. He also walks us through the process of starting out with passive investment to active investment by becoming a deal sponsor. Denise Piazza started both passive and active investments across multiple asset classes. Then she developed a passion for multifamily space and pursued a more active role as GP. In this episode, Denise details four things that have helped accelerate her transition from passive to active. She mentioned the importance of finding the right mentor with the complementary skill sets to hers, being disciplined and willing to sacrifice, and transparent.  Key Points From This Episode:  The value of starting off investing passively in other people’s deals. The need to fully understand agreements and communications from deal sponsors.   It is more advantageous to invest in the multifamily asset class than in the stock market.   Darin’s process of becoming a sponsor in his own right and learning to push through fear.  The importance of building relationships with the broker community.  Key considerations that might help you close that first deal, including the partner you choose.   One of the most important aspects that accelerated Denise’s success in playing a role as a co-GP is her mentorship.
