After reviewing the initial underwriting and if you think it works for you and your investors…it becomes necessary to physically walk the property. Most listing agents require you to walk the property PRIOR to submitting a LETTER OF INTENT for purchase. The listing agent wants to make sure that you and your equity have had a chance to understand the physical needs of the property before they will consider LOI seriously. Michael discusses what you need to pay attention to when walking the property with the listing agent.

Wow! When trying to buy an apartment building… don’t fall into some rabbit holes. Pursuing single family MARKETING strategies do not typically work when trying to FIND a multifamily property. Michael explores some common marketing fallacies of transitioning from SINGLE FAMILY to MULTIFAMILY.

Your lender brings a huge amount of capital to your transaction. They are a critical member of your success team. You need to understand what’s important to the lender and how they will structure your loan. In today’s podcast, we sit down with a few team members of Old Capital and discuss what’s new in the capital markets and what you need to know. Items discussed: 1. Fannie Mae Pricing Waivers- for the last few years, Fannie has been generous in reducing their posted interest rates to good clients. Today, Fannie Mae is not too anxious to offer lower interest rates to new and inexperienced borrowers at the highest loan leverage. 2. Term Sheets vs. Final Loan Commitment- Some lenders are not fully underwriting the loan transaction upfront and issuing false term sheets. They propose loan terms that are not even close to what the final loan commitment will eventually be. Don’t fall for that, always ask for your lenders underwriting analysis upfront and find out how they view the transaction. Fannie’s underwriting criteria is pretty much the same from DUS lender to DUS lender…so term sheets should be very similar. If not, then look into their underwriting. 3.During the loan process, be prepared to bring in additional equity if the seller does not increase the property’s NOI. Unfortunately, many sellers don’t realize that the buyer’s lender needs to see positive NOI during the loan process. Do not have the seller take their foot or the buyer will need to bring in additional equity to close. 4.Always ask for the sellers 5 YEARS- INSURANCE LOSS RUN upfront before you go hard with earnest money. You need to find out if the seller has filed any insurance claims against the subject property. One claim should not increase premiums…but several claims can push up insurance premiums and will reduce your loan amount significantly.

A lender needs to understand the value of the collateral. Even though you paid for the appraisal, the appraiser is hired and works for the bank. They will not discuss value with the buyer until after they have completed their final report. If you meet the appraiser at the property and you mention that you are going to do some specific rehab; the appraiser will more than likely add that into their report. So…be careful in speaking to the appraiser, if you haven’t confirmed those improvements. The appraiser is going to need the most updated T12 and a current rent roll. They may want to see your PROFORMA on the new property taxes and other expenses and make sure that it looks reasonable.

A few years ago, Ed Faukner bought a new house for his growing family to live in. The day after they moved in…his wife informed him that she HATED the house and wanted to move. Yikes! Instead of selling they rented it out. That was his first experience with owning rental real estate. He was terrified with having someone else live in their home. After a while, he got comfortable with owning rental real estate and bought a duplex. He eventually sold it and realized a large gain. He was hooked. He wanted to buy more units. Ed wanted to start with small steps in buying rental property. With a partner, he bought a 10 unit building. He has learned a lot in a short period of time. His biggest lesson is BIGGER IS BETTER in MULTIFAMILY. He learned that economies of scale were important in multifamily. His next transaction was a much bigger property with 44 units. Ed’s journey is typical of many real estate investors…he took baby steps from a single family rental , then a duplex, to a 10 unit, and now… 44 units. Could you do this?

Today we revisit with Bonnie & Kerry Staples. Bonnie & Kerry loved their corporate jobs. They were well respected within their companies, but knew they were building someone else’s dream and not working on their own. They were originally drawn to real estate through single family investing, but after seeing the bigger picture on scalability, they wanted to invest into apartments. They hired a mentor/educator to accelerate their specific knowledge of apartment investing. We originally spoke with them 2 years ago after they purchased their first building. They bought of a 106 unit apartment building called Casa Flores. After 18 months of rehabbing and making it into a “community”…they sold that building and rewarded their investors with a huge return. Now, they own 3 large apartment buildings; Bella Vida with 255 units, Fairmeadows with 200 units, and Spanish Timbers with 160 units. They quit their jobs in the last 2 years and work on real estate investing full time. They have the passion to make older apartments into better communities. Today, they are in charge of their own apartment business and working on their dream.

Upfront physical due diligence is critical when purchasing any apartment building. Have your engineer/ general contractor review all components to the apartment. Not reviewing deficiencies with your electrical, plumbing and sewer, foundation and roof can be the iceberg that sinks the investor’s ship.

Structuring the right payout back to investors is critically important. Mike describes what waterfall criteria he uses to attract capital. Mike then discusses different exit strategies that many syndication investors can normally expect. It’s hard to “keep the band together” for an extended period; so most syndicator’s use the 5-7 year sale timeframe.

Having the highest offer price doesn’t always get you the deal. The seller needs “execution certainty”. Can the BUYER actually close on the proposed sales price? That’s the sellers worst fear that a buyer cannot close or will re-trade the original terms of the sale transaction. Yikes!! The seller needs to pick the right buyer and take the RISK OUT. The seller doesn’t want to end up with egg on their face by failing to pick the right buyer. But BEFORE a buyer is chosen, the seller needs to analyze and understand the strengths and weakness of every potential buyer. During the ‘best and final’ the seller will need for you to complete the BUYERS INVESTMENT FORM. This document gives the seller a chance to ask you (the buyer) questions about your underwriting, how are you financing, what capital improvements will you make, have you underwritten to higher property taxes, and is the equity already raised. These are critical questions that the seller needs to know. The seller wants to know that the buyer has done their homework and won’t put the deal into the ditch and NOT CLOSE. In the podcast today, we review sellers questions and handle potential answers.

Mike breaks down his assessment on comparing rental comps within a submarket. Becoming a student of the different apartment markets in your buying areas will help.

To be competitive in apartment investing you need great information. The top producing agents at ARA- DALLAS have great information on what is happening around the state. They discuss the current state of the apartment market, amenity trends and how to win a deal. Being well prepared in presenting an offer and having your team (Key Principal’s, real estate attorney, MF general contractor, lender, etc.) positioned together is critical in winning a deal. It may not always be the highest offer that wins a deal...BUT ALL sellers want to see execution certainty. Having a team formed before you offer… certainly will help your story. The ARA- DALLAS office will close over $1.5 billion in apartment transactions in 2018. They know the market.

Bhuvan & Pratima Sharma needed to make a change….a huge change. Unfortunately, a few years ago, most of Bhuvans’ & Pratimas’ retirement was wiped out when the company that they both worked for… filed for bankruptcy. Yikes!!

In less than 5 years and through apartment investing, Bhuvan was able to quit his corporate job and now has his retirement secured.

To promote affordable housing, some older properties may have an income restricted LURA. A LURA is a LAND USE RESTRICTION AGREEMENT. It runs with the deed. This recorded regulatory agreement may restrict the amount of rent you can charge a tenant, based on the tenant’s income. If you rehab a property and are expecting to increase rents to justify the cost…a LURA may prevent you from being able to raise rents in the future. Make sure you ask the seller’s agent if the property has a LURA.

Friends become partners; finding the right partner is critical to your success when buying apartments.
