I think almost 80% of my leads come from Google.” “I think the most important value-add is just good management.” HIGHLIGHTS: 9:24 James’ background and how he got into multifamily real estate 19:16 Competition and opportunities in multifamily real estate 21:52 Management structure at Achieve Investment 27:14 Getting leads from a marketing perspective 33:13 James talks about a certain deal 39:30 “Valuable value-adds” 41:45 Online resources and sensitivity analyses   Recommended Resources: Check out our company and our partnership opportunities by visiting SunriseCapitalInvestors.com Would you like to partner with us on future MHP deals, call 844-CASH-FLW to learn more or click here to schedule a time on our calendar.

He talks about secondary mortgages and the profit strategies he and his team employ when capitalizing on note investments. He explains the process of restructuring distressed debt to benefit investors. Kevin and Jim also discuss the dynamics of working remotely and having a headquarters for business.   QUOTES: “Aspen Funds was started in 2012, really kind of born out of the adversity and the lessons that I learned in what debt can do to you if you’re a small developer, a small fish in a big pond. So that’s what launched me into the mortgage space.” “If you’re gonna buy one offs, you can be picky about what you buy in terms of the equity profile of the deal that you’re buying. At our scale, we have to be ready to pretty much buy everything..” ‘We’re at about 65% of the time, we are able to modify the loan, keep the loan, get it re-performing and sell it to an income fund or another cash flow buyer. Another 10 or 15% of the time we actually get a settlement..” “We’ve seen the quantity of deal flow has definitely diminished in the residential mortgage space in general. Most of that is first leads where most of the players have been, and margins have shrunk as price points have increased for mortgages in general.” “If 10% of our loans, at any given time, stop paying, all the metrics of our fund are set up such that the fund investors don’t miss a blip and our management don’t miss a blip. We have that built into our pricing model.”   HIGHLIGHTS: 8:13 Jim’s background and how he co-founded Aspen Funds 14:11 Buying and selling real estate notes 18:41 Different investor profiles 21:10 What would be an ideal loan acquisition? 27:44 How the landscape changed since the crash 34:25 Business and management structure at Aspen   Recommended Resources: Check out our company and our partnership opportunities by visiting SunriseCapitalInvestors.com Would you like to partner with us on future MHP deals, call 844-CASH-FLW to learn more or click here to schedule a time on our calendar.

Josh also talks about the cost of these renovations, other challenges and future expansion.   QUOTES: “I was introduced to this concept called wholesaling, and wholesaled my property, made thirty grand on my first year and I was like ‘yeah, I could do this all day.’” “For me the biggest change in hiring was realizing that you get what your pay for and if you don’t know what the role is, you’re never going to find the right person.”  “We can take that 2,500 square foot family [home], gut the thing and rebuild it as a three-unit building and we can do it at a price point that makes a heck of a lot more sense than buying a triplex, gutting it and rebuilding it.”  “We’ve got some areas in the city where we have two or three houses on the block that are boarded up shells, if we can find a way to capitalize on that block, that is a huge impact on that block, on that neighbors, and on the city as a whole..” “By converting a lot of these properties to functional spaces, it provides a lot of opportunities for the neighborhood’s continued development..”   HIGHLIGHTS: 6:50 Josh’s background and how he got into real estate 11:46 Josh talks about hiring partners and organizing his property management business  20:49 Josh expounds on their unique business plan at TCS 26:13 Costs for renovation and adding infrastructure to single family homes for conversion  30:19 Scalability, geographic targets and challenges Recommended Resources: Check out our company and our partnership opportunities by visiting SunriseCapitalInvestors.com Would you like to partner with us on future MHP deals, call 844-CASH-FLW to learn more or click here to schedule a time on our calendar.

Through the Ira group, it’s when the lender is looking for participation in loans, primarily bridge loans..” “I’m gonna bring people that want to participate into loans and bring them to crowdfunding platforms or to individual lenders throughout the country.” “What I also tell people is that the best deal that you should probably start with, if you’re about to invest equity in the deal, if you’re starting a bit nervous then it might be overpriced, maybe you can sit on that same deal and go to the debt side of that deal.” “You only want to try to do deals that the initial term are officially only twelve months.” HIGHLIGHTS 8:02 Ira’s background and the Ira group 13:10 Ideal investor 19:01 Roadblocks in understanding debt in investment 24:04 Time span of bridge loans 27:26 Ira talks about staying focused, knowing one’s strengths and weaknesses Job Opportunities with my Team: Click Here     Recommended Resources: Check out our company and our partnership opportunities by visiting SunriseCapitalInvestors.com Would you like to partner with us on future MHP deals, call 844-CASH-FLW to learn more or click here to schedule a time on our calendar.

With the growing advancement of blockchain technology and dozens of industries ripe for disruption however, Omar struck out on his own.

Omar goes on to elaborate and clarify what the blockchain is, how it's useful in the RE space, and why it's here to stay. QUOTES: "A lot of people associate blockchain with cryptocurrencies or bitcoin. But that's really just a very minor component." "Blockchain is just a technology, like the internet. You can do all kinds of things with the internet, just like you can do all kinds of things with blockchain." "You can now buy and sell private placement securities through blockchain security trading platforms." "Puerto Rico is a hot opportunity zone for investors from all around the world."

Ian explains what they do at CrowdStreet and breaks down the process of how they connect and work with sponsors and investors. He also differentiates between three ways investors can invest through CrowdStreet. QUOTES: “Just because something is going better than you think it could go, well maybe you should ask yourself what’s going on there because probably it’s unsustainable.” “For every one hundred potential deals that show up on our doorstep, five of them actually make it onto the market place.” “If we’re going to be in a deal, there has to be a relevancy there, nobody’s doing this for fun, we’re doing it because there is a product market fit between sponsor and investor at the end of the day.” “So what we do is we give investors good tools to analyze and track their portfolio in their own dashboard and so that’s what the investors look in for, and so we are the communication infrastructure…” “These days, we’re finding that the typical sponsor on the market place has started on average to over two billion dollar worth of deals, has been in multiple markets and has ten plus years of operating experience in the entity level.” HIGHLIGHTS 6:46 Ian’s background 13:09 Ian explains how CrowdStreet operates 25:49 Long term projections and sensitivity controls 34:21 What the future looks like with crowdfunding 38:26 Three ways to invest via CrowdStreet   Job Opportunities with my Team: Click Here Recommended Resources: Check out our company and our partnership opportunities by visiting SunriseCapitalInvestors.com Would you like to partner with us on future MHP deals, call 844-CASH-FLW to learn more or click here to schedule a time on our calendar.

QUOTES:   “What you really have to do is to find something that you really love doing, it can’t just be the idea of what you’re doing, it has to be the day-to-day..” “What’s really interesting to me about real estate is that all the information is done manually, and it’s done on a one-off basis for individual assets, the information is not able to be leveraged in a meaningful way and the work kind of sucks.” “When you have wonderful, exceptional people, you have to enable them to be thinking above and beyond, so that you’re continuously driving value in ways that your competitors are not.” “Every investment professional needs to have all of the information about every one of their investments at their fingertips—they can do that within Waypoint, and then they can essentially have a system that’s also working to support some of the work around tracking, managing, identifying when things are not working according to plan, and just allowing for there to be a system that is essentially a record for the day-to-day performance management.” “The common thread at Waypoint is that folks are really intrinsically motivated.” HIGHLIGHTS 8:27 Diane’s background and how she got into real estate 17:01 What led Diane to found Waypoint? 27:03 How Waypoint works 32:34 The ideal client size for utilizing Waypoint’s services 37:32 Diane talks about company culture and hiring staff Job Opportunities with my Team: Click Here   Recommended Resources: Check out our company and our partnership opportunities by visiting SunriseCapitalInvestors.com Would you like to partner with us on future MHP deals, call 844-CASH-FLW to learn more or click here to schedule a time on our calendar.

QUOTES: “We really have two divisions here at SFR hub, one is for built-for-rent new construction homes and the other is the existing single family portfolio homes.” “Every portfolio that comes in to our system, not only are we analyzing it from a evaluation standpoint, we utilize the number one AVN (automation valuation model)… but what we do that takes it even a step further is we pull in multiple data sources, we built in some AI in the background to red-flag some discrepancies.” “I’ve talked to some built-for-rent developers that have been doing this for a while and the recent quote from one said that thirty percent of his tenants have stayed for nine years when he’s built some of these communities, you know, back in 2009-2010 and he’ still got original tenants in some of them..” “The biggest inefficiency in the single family world is that when there’s issues, the homes are scattered around and you do have more rooftops than one building or two all in one spot but on the flip-side, you have typically greater appreciation in good markets because single family homes appreciate at a higher rate than a multifamily apartment building typically does.” HIGHLIGHTS 5:40 Michael’s shares his background leading up to founding SFRhub 12:12 Different investment portfolios and how they’re managed 17:07 What prompted SFRhub and how does it work 26:10 What kind of financing is available for these portfolios? 31:50 What is Built-for-rent? 40:40 Single versus multi-family home investment Job Opportunities with my Team: Click Here Recommended Resources: Check out our company and our partnership opportunities by visiting SunriseCapitalInvestors.com Would you like to partner with us on future MHP deals, call 844-CASH-FLW to learn more or click here to schedule a time on our calendar.

QUOTES: “The difference between the 1040 and a 1040 EV is that the EV is the straight line or what you call the standard deductions and your 1040 is the itemized deductions, well, cost segregation is the 1040 for real estate..” “Essentially when you sell a building, you’re taking what you sold it for minus whatever the purchase price was, which is your gain, but you also have to add in to that gain your accumulated depreciation.” “There are different types of cost segregation studies and as you dig into this, you’ll have engineered based cost segregation and that’s where we actually rebuild the property from the ground up.” “I think of the CPA as the family practice doctor and EPS is the brain surgeon.” “When working with a third party property management company, you need to ensure that they have the information at the ready so that when they do those capital expenditures and do those capital improvements on your behalf, they’re actually handling the depreciation appropriately.” HIGHLIGHTS 4:20 Kimberly’s background 7:54 Kimberly explains cost segregation 11:13 FAQs about cost segregation 23:14 Brian and Kimberly tackle a case study 33:31 What is the DEERA report?

That really helps.” “We have a branding and sales marketing consultant that work with us to make sure that we have a healthy culture, that our team understands what we’re trying to accomplish out there everyday.” “Our construction partner is key, and I don’t think there’s a tremendous amount of decision-making to bring that person early on in the process, when we’ve pre-walked the final two or three assets that are being considered so we can help with the due diligence process and create real numbers for various components for construction.

Frank talks about his software Real Data and gives essential tips and perspectives on real estate metrics that can surely help any real estate investor. QUOTES: “When I teach my grad students at Columbia, I always tell them to think of an analysis in a linear way, kind of a step wise fashion where one thing more or less follows from another and so on.” “I would always start with NOI- net operating income because the logical place to begin the analysis of a property is to look at its current, and perhaps projected revenue and operating expenses.” “What’s a good cap rate? Well, there’s no such thing. A good cap rate is just an invention, market cap rate is very much like politics, it’s extremely local and also pertains to a specific property type.” “You’re more likely to encounter unexpected expenses than you’re going to encounter unexpected revenue.” “There’s present value and there’s mid-present value and I can tell you, from having taught this to grad students for fifteen years, that no one in this planet knows what the difference is, really.” HIGHLIGHTS 7:31 How Frank got into the software business 14:40 Frank’s approach to analyzing metrics 19:04 Kevin and Frank talk about cap rates 26:00 Debt service and debt coverage ratio 30:01 Frank gets in depth about the income stream, internal rate of return and cash flow 40:18 Frank’s advice to beginner investors 47:13 What is Real Data?   Job Opportunities with my Team: Click Here   Recommended Resources: Check out our company and our partnership opportunities by visiting SunriseCapitalInvestors.com Would you like to partner with us on future MHP deals, call 844-CASH-FLW to learn more or click here to schedule a time on our calendar.

This episode of the Real Estate Investing for Cash Flow Podcast features Brandon Lacoff, CEO and Founder of the Belpointe REIT, a public equity investment firm and the first public opportunity zone REIT in the US.  Brandon is also the co-founder Belray Capital, a real estate and investment firm which Belpointe acquired in 2011. Belpointe has created a name for itself in luxury condominium developments and class A apartment communities. Belpointe also controls Belpointe Asset Management, LLC, a financial asset management firm that manages over $1 billion in tradable securities. Brandon gives us an industry leader's insight on Opportunity Zones and how it can benefit all stakeholders, from investors to developers to the communities themselves.  Quotes: "The opportunity zone rules are a little bit complicated, but if used correctly, are huge upside for both investors and the right developer and real estate investors. It doesn't make a bad deal a good deal. It allows good deals to be able to raise more capital."
 "[Opportunity zones] also give them the ability to get the tax benefit but also invest in communities that need the investment, which some people call impact investing. We also call it do good while doing good and giving back to other communities that were passed by in the last ten to twenty years for investment dollars." "The biggest risk is over-leveraging, which we're taking a more conservative approach when it comes to leveraging especially when the real estate stabilized." "The thing that we do to manage that risk is we are underwriting our deals ourselves. Even though we are going to be co-investing with other developers around the country, we underwrite every deal as if we were the developer and construction managers in-house."   "We don't trend rents for two years from now when the building is done. We say the building was built today, what would be the yields, what would be return on that building and how long will it take to lease up." Discussed in this Episode: 08:52 Market selection: developing vs purchasing existing product  11:17 Focusing the business on opportunity zones 15:27 Challenges in setting up the REIT vehicle  23:00 Identifying and mitigating risk 34:17 Brandon's advice and golden nuggets   Job Opportunities with my Team: Click Here   Recommended Resources: Check out our company and our partnership opportunities by visiting SunriseCapitalInvestors.com Would you like to partner with us on future MHP deals, call 844-CASH-FLW to learn more or click here to schedule a time on our calendar.

Kevin Bupp welcomes you to another episode of the Real Estate Investing for Cash Flow Podcast with real estate investment veteran Welcome Wilson, who shares anecdotes rooted in incredibly rich personal experience during his 6 decades in real estate development. Welcome is the founder and chairman of the Board of Welcome Group, a privately held real estate development firm that owns 90 manufacturing and industrial facilities comprising 4 million square feet of space in Texas. He has developed 8,000 home sites in 4 counties. He has also developed apartments, retail centers, office buildings, and a hotel. Quotes: "Never go against your gut instinct because the expert tells you something like an engineer or an architect and then in your gut you know he's wrong. Go with your gut because your gut knows more about it than he does."
 "To succeed in business, you need to have guts and determination. Guts and determination. When he said guts, he didn't mean the guts to get into a fight. He meant the guts to make a pitch to somebody important that's highly in your favor and be able to keep a straight face and look him in the eye and be sincere."
 "Don't let success go to your head. The point is, in a good economy, everything works. Everything works. And you're not invincible. And when the economy turns, practically nothing works and you can't assume that everything is going to work out. You have to prepare for the worst because it's coming."
 "One rule that I always had is, if you have five and part of the things to do today, start with the most difficult one first. Do the most difficult one first."
 "Having the right partners and the right friends are everything in business. You need to give your partners credit. And by the way, don't ever issue an ultimatum especially to your spouse. Ultimatums do not work." Discussed in this Episode: 10:38 Importance of a mentor

 Victor held senior roles at several firms in the high tech industry for 25 years before deciding to become full time with real estate 9 years ago. He has since touched on ground up RV communities, multi-family and residential developments, and much more. 
 Today he sheds light on a particularly unglamorous side of the business: rough patches and how he was able to weather them out to still achieve success. Quotes: "I wasted a lot of time and probably wasted a lot of money basically going back and entering that business from the bottom of the business as opposed to coming into that business from the top of the business." "One of the perspectives that I always take when it comes to real estate projects is to make sure that those projects have enough margin to be resilient."
 "The key in the success for any active business is the team."
 "You want to make sure that if there is strong demand that there is some kind of constraint on the supply side." "The number one mistake I see a lot if investors make is that they are starting projects that are too small and one of the consequences of that is that you can't afford the skills that you need to properly fill out your team."

Dan shares his entry point in the multifamily syndication space, how he manages his time juggling real estate and a successful medical practice, delegating work to his all-star team, and so much more--all at the young age of 36 years old. Quotes: "I think that one of the things I learned earlier on is that art of delegation." "I'm a big believer that if you can't measure something then it's very hard to manage it." "I look at syndication, the syndication space, and go, 'If you have a background in business and you can actually manage large budgets, then it's a pretty easy transition.'" "I practice two things: I make sure I have a hard day's work and a clear conscience." "I cannot control what happens to the market in the next few years, but I can tell you this: if something does happen in the market, I would rather my money be in multifamily or some form of real estate before I would want it in the stock market or mutual funds or bonds or things like that."
