Yeah, everyone like lowered the bar 34 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 1: during COVID, and I feel like this is just it's 35 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 1: so much better energy. 36 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 2: It is, and it's hard to do it over zoom 37 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 2: because of the lag. Yes, and so you don't know 38 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 2: where you can like interrupt people, and it's less like organic. 39 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:32,199 Speaker 3: I totally agree. 40 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 2: It's like question answer, question answer kind of thing. So 41 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 2: I like to talk to I like to talk about 42 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 2: disrupting markets. In my career has been alternative to say 43 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 2: the least, and I like to talk to people who 44 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 2: are doing things alternative as well. So forget the go 45 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,039 Speaker 2: to school, get a good job, save for fifty years. Yeah, 46 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 2: that was never going to work for me. I think 47 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 2: of the big legacy institutions we want to disrupt, so media, 48 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 2: which I'm trying to do here, education, which I'm trying 49 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 2: to do as well. Health. I'm not doing that one. 50 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 2: Finance definitely, and you're certainly somebody who's done something different 51 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 2: over a billion dollars of transaction in real estate and 52 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 2: multifamily space specifically. So I want to talk about that. 53 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 2: I want to talk about the appetite for multifamily. I 54 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 2: want to think about what your strategies were for getting 55 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,399 Speaker 2: to where you're at, where you're going, how you think 56 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 2: about the big global macroeconomic picture into that, and then 57 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 2: where people can get started they if they if they're 58 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 2: attracted and did something like this, but let's start before that. 59 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 2: So one thing I saw you know in your information 60 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 2: is you're really focused on building a network of people. 61 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 2: I've often said I learned. So I had to two companies. 62 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 2: I sold off a fortune five hundred exit, I had 63 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,239 Speaker 2: built fixed and flipped over a hundred properties. I had 64 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 2: sold my business. I was retired, I was done, and 65 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 2: then two thousand and eight came wipe me out and 66 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 2: I had to start all over. And what I learned 67 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,839 Speaker 2: at that point was that everyone says it takes money 68 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 2: to make money, but I had no money. As a 69 00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 2: matter of fact, I was now millions of dollars in debt, 70 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 2: and it wasn't the money that I needed. It was 71 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 2: the relationships that I had generated and cultivated, and it 72 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 2: was the mental skills that I had acquired, and using 73 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 2: the skills that I had and the people that I knew, 74 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 2: I was able to get it back pretty quickly. But 75 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 2: everyone focuses on the financial side, which is the hardest 76 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 2: one and maybe the least effective of the three. 77 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with that. 78 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: So I think that people think that money is the 79 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: end gold, and it's not. It's just a tool to 80 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: get what we all really want, which is control of 81 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:28,839 Speaker 1: our time. 82 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:29,119 Speaker 2: Right. 83 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 3: We want to have freedom, right. 84 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 1: And I think about it now because I'm like, yeah, 85 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: I don't want to do that, and then I'll have. 86 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 3: Someone on my team beate but blah blah blah, it's 87 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 3: going to be this much. And I'm like, I just 88 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 3: don't want to do it, and they're like. 89 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 2: What do you mean, so you don't want to do 90 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 2: something to get money? 91 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, like there are some people I just 92 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,119 Speaker 1: don't want to spend time with and so I don't 93 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: want to do business with them, so I won't do it. 94 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: And it's like really interesting because like, once you get 95 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: to that level, it's very freeing, right because now I 96 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: only do the things I want to do with the 97 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: people I want to do them, and I just don't 98 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: waste my time with the rest of it. And I 99 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: love being able to do that because there was a 100 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: time not that long ago where I was like, oh, 101 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: I have to do anything to make sure that like 102 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: we're getting one step ahead and one step ahead and 103 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: one step ahead. And so for me getting to level 104 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: where I'm just like no for no other reason than 105 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: I don't want to. Yeah, And to me, that feels exciting, right, 106 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: that feels like, Okay, I've made it, now check. And 107 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: I think that the one mistake, if I look back, 108 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: the biggest mistake I made was underestimating the. 109 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 3: Power of those relationships. 110 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: A lot of people are really surprised to find out, 111 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 1: like I've never paid for like a mentorship or any 112 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: I've never paid for a VIP ticket at a conference 113 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: still even. 114 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 3: Now, well, and now it's because. 115 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: I'm invited to those rooms, right, Like I'm invited to 116 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: speak at those conferences like. 117 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 2: Oh my, and I still pay for masterminds and stuff, 118 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 2: but you do. 119 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'm in those. 120 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: I'm already in those masterminds, right, like Pace Marby who 121 00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 1: was a guest on your show, Like, I'm in his 122 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: community and I'm in. 123 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 2: Trying I am too. I go speak at masterminds, but 124 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 2: there's other masterminds I want to get into. It's how 125 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 2: I've built my network. So I get paid to speak 126 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 2: at a lot of masterminds. So I'm in those rooms, 127 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 2: but I still invest because there's other rooms I want 128 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 2: to get into. 129 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: I want to build my network, so I will invest 130 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: in those. It's not that I won't, it's the ones 131 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: that I want to be in. I haven't figured out 132 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: how to get into them yet. 133 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 2: I think I want to talk about relationships, but just 134 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 2: back to buying time. If I can take my money 135 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 2: and buy someone's ten thousand hours, Oh, I do that 136 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 2: all day, which is why I've been a big reader. 137 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 2: Like imagine reading a book in ten twelve hours and 138 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 2: compressing someone's life into that absolutely, and so being able 139 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 2: to get into a room forty grand for a year 140 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 2: I make one deal makes me millions back, right, So 141 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 2: I think about I think about like that, but anyway, 142 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 2: keep one on the relationships. 143 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: Yeah. So well, the reason I had never paid for 144 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: a mentorship or like a VIP ticket or anything was 145 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: because I thought what was behind the paywall was just knowledge. 146 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 3: I thought it was like, I'm going to learn about 147 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 3: NI and right equity multiples. 148 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: It's like I was like, you know, you can just 149 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: google that, and I was right, I could, and I did. 150 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: But what I realized now looking back, right like connecting 151 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: the dots in hindsight, is that cost me so much 152 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: more time, Like that was the easy button, and I 153 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: didn't push it because I didn't realize that it was 154 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: easy button. Now looking back, I'm like, oh, money loves speed. 155 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 1: This is the way to be speedy toward what I'm 156 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: trying to do. And so if I could go back, 157 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: I would do that differently. Like right now, I'm part 158 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: of masterminds that I've been invited into because I share 159 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 1: and I do education in them, and so for me, 160 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: those are really important that now, and then next level 161 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: for me is identifying those ones that I'm not part 162 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 1: of yet and how to get into them. 163 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 3: That's the thing. So I really there's one person I 164 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 3: really want. 165 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 1: To mentor me, and I emailed him and I was like, hey, 166 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: what would it cost to get one on one mentorship? 167 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: Like money is no object here, and they responded back 168 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 1: very nicely saying we don't do that, which is funny 169 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 1: because I've done that like a million times, Like, oh, 170 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: I don't do that. So I'm going to re email 171 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 1: them again. Because everyone has a number for this, I 172 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: just haven't found. 173 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 2: The Yeah, but some people are like you, We're like 174 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 2: I just don't want to do it. I just don't 175 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 2: want to do it. I would say that I have 176 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 2: joined multiple masterminds, where now the person that ran the 177 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 2: mastermind is now one of my good friends. Yeah I 178 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 2: was mentioned earlier. I don't want to drop the name now, 179 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 2: but someone who come through my coaching program, multip people 180 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 2: that went through my coaching program. Now we're good friends 181 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 2: and they don't pay me anymore. Now we're just good friends. 182 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 2: I would even say we're peers, right, So it can 183 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,239 Speaker 2: work both ways, but that's where you are today. Success 184 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 2: leaves clues, so people look at you and go, well, 185 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 2: that's cool for you, vinga you can get into any 186 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 2: room that you want, But what about me? So let's 187 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 2: go back to sort of the beginning, like you were 188 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 2: just getting going into this whole multi family space and 189 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 2: you had to go out network? How did you build 190 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 2: your network? And I guess at what point did you 191 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 2: realize how important that network was to you? 192 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 3: The first time I did a deal and I come. 193 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 2: But even before that, how do you even know what 194 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 2: kind of to do a deal? Did you? Do you 195 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 2: have somebody that influenced you, that was get in front 196 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 2: of you. 197 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, so I definitely had someone who I still am 198 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: friends with and we actually like co invest into each 199 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: other's deals to this day, who showed me the ropes 200 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: and he. 201 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 3: Partnered with me on that first deal. 202 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: And I had to raise one point two million dollars 203 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: in capital. 204 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 3: On your first deal, my first deal, which. 205 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: Is so funny because I'm like, oh, that seems so easy, 206 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: I missed the good old days of when that was easy. 207 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 2: It seems hard for a first deal. 208 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,119 Speaker 1: Though it was hard for my first deal. I cried 209 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: every day for six weeks. I thought I put my 210 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: family into financial ruin. I thought I had messed everything. 211 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 2: Up because you hit your friends and family list. 212 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, And I went through the friends and family 213 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: list very quickly and all of them. 214 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 3: Said like, oh my gosh, that's amazing. 215 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: I totally support you, but come to me when you 216 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: do your second deal, or your third deal or your 217 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 1: fifth deal. And I thought there was no way I 218 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,439 Speaker 1: was going to close that deal. I thought we had 219 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: just lost whatever that ernest money was, like, maybe like 220 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 1: a one hundred two hundred thousand dollars. 221 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 3: I thought we just lost it. 222 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: And at that time, I'd never lost that much money. 223 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: And when this was almost ten years ago, and ended 224 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,199 Speaker 1: up closing it. But I networked so poorly back then 225 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: because I didn't realize how valuable it was going to be. 226 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:11,839 Speaker 1: So I would network and I would meet someone and'd 227 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: be like, oh, it's great to meet you, and then 228 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,439 Speaker 1: I just go on about my way and if organically 229 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: we cross paths or we ended up at the same conference, 230 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: then great. But I never proactively reached out to build 231 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: those relationships in an intentional way because I didn't know 232 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: I needed to do that. And I also didn't know 233 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: who I was speaking to, so my message wasn't clear. Right. 234 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 1: I talk a lot in the MULTIPI community. We talk 235 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: a lot about the investor avatar, and it's because I 236 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,959 Speaker 1: firmly believe that if you speak to everybody, you speak 237 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: to nobody, and the way I'm going to talk to 238 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: you about multi family investing is going to be very 239 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,199 Speaker 1: different than I'm going to talk to a physician or 240 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: an engineer, or a small business owner or a stay 241 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: at home parent. Like they all have different needs and 242 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: different pain points, and if you don't understand who you're 243 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: speaking to, you can't speak to them appropriately. 244 00:09:58,280 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 2: And you know. 245 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: It's easy for me to say that now because we've 246 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: raised I actually added it up, so over all of 247 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: our deals, we've raised three hundred and seventy four million, 248 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: three hundred and fifteen thousand dollars from retail investors. And 249 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: the principles are the same whether you're raising one point 250 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 1: two or three hundred million dollars. It doesn't change, but 251 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: it becomes a muscle that you exercise and you start 252 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: seeing the patterns of how investors show up and what 253 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: their pain points are and how you can help them 254 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:25,599 Speaker 1: solve that problem. 255 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 2: So you had you had a relationship because somebody brought 256 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 2: you a deal that you parted on your first one, 257 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 2: and I just want to I just want to nail 258 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 2: that point for everybody, right, every deal that I can 259 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 2: think of in my whole career has come from somebody 260 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:39,839 Speaker 2: that I know. Yeah, I mean where else would it 261 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,679 Speaker 2: come from? Yeah, they don't. Hundred people don't cold call 262 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 2: you the spam and say I got a deal for your. 263 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 3: May they do, but you shouldn't listen to those. 264 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, if you get up by somebody on social media 265 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 2: and saying I'll invest your crypto for you, don't, don't 266 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 2: do that. But yeah, so it comes through your network, right. 267 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,439 Speaker 2: So that's that's the one piece I always want to 268 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 2: hit on. And whether you go out to your local 269 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,439 Speaker 2: networking events, your chamber of commerce, you go to events 270 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 2: like you have I have, Like you need to go out, 271 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 2: you need to meet people. You can do it online, 272 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 2: it's better. 273 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 3: In person, I agree, be in the right rooms. 274 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, what about pouring value into those relationship? 275 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 3: Yeah? 276 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 1: Okay, So I love this question because this is the 277 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: thing that probably is the biggest pet peeve to me 278 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: is and I'm sure you get this right, like you 279 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: get something goes Mark. 280 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 3: I really love what you're doing. How can I add 281 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 3: value to you? 282 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, Yes, I want to. 283 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: Stick a rusty fork in my eye when someone says 284 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 1: that to me. Right, Because I know the intention is good. 285 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 1: I know it comes from a place of really trying 286 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,439 Speaker 1: to build a genuine relationship. But it is mentally exhausting 287 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: for you to ask me how you can add value 288 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: to me. Now I have to do the mental work. 289 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't even know who you are. 290 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: I was thinking about like who you could possibly be, 291 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,839 Speaker 1: and what your skill set is and what my needs are. 292 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 1: And now I have to spend this time to tell 293 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,839 Speaker 1: you how to help me. It's counterproductive. Instead, what I've 294 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: found is the most successful when someone really wants to 295 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: lead with value and like people like us, we like 296 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 1: put out endless amounts of content, right, Like you could 297 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 1: consume one hundred hours of content of just one of 298 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: us speaking. 299 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 2: Right. 300 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: So it's like, spend like fifteen seconds looking at like 301 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: the last three things I post it, find out where 302 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: you can like in road in, find out like I'm 303 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: very clear about my values what's important to me, and 304 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: then figure out where we align and tell me or 305 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: show up and deliver the value that's going to get 306 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: my attention. 307 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 3: Yes, and so don't and don't message me asking me 308 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 3: Can I pick your brain? 309 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 2: No? 310 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: You cannot. Can I take you up for a cup 311 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: of coffee. No, I will buy my own coffee so 312 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: that I don't have to spend an hour of my 313 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 1: time doing this thing. But it's because there's no relationship 314 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: and there's no exchange of value. I don't think it's 315 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 1: going to be impactful. Instead, like I host meetups where 316 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: you can come and meet me and ask me a 317 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: million questions. I will stay there untill three in the 318 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: morning answering them. But I'm not going to I'm a maximizer, right, 319 00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: Like that's part of my top strength and my clipt 320 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: and strengths assessment, and so I want to make sure 321 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: I'm impacting. 322 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:06,959 Speaker 3: As many people as possible at once. 323 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: So those are the things I would say are not 324 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: the way to leave with value. 325 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 2: We'll come back to that because this is a trend 326 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 2: that will carry through. And when you buy I saw 327 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,199 Speaker 2: you know when you're buying your I think you called 328 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 2: the Cinderella method. And so even as a real estate investor, 329 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 2: we're looking for projects we can bring value to. Yes, 330 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 2: it's always the same. If you want to make money 331 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 2: in this world, you provide value. That's it. If you 332 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 2: work at McDonald's, you're providing value to one person at 333 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 2: the counter by pushing buttons that would probably rather just 334 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 2: deal with an iPad. So not a lot of value 335 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 2: you're putting into the world. If I want to make 336 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,319 Speaker 2: more money, I solve bigger problems, and even all the 337 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 2: way at a multi family deal, I'm still looking for 338 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 2: something I can add value to. 339 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 3: Yes, that's actually our strategy is. 340 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 2: Like all value add and so I think this is 341 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 2: just a key piece that we'll bring this trend this 342 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 2: all the way through.

Right, 420 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: and those are your choices, right, And so my mom 421 00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: was like, quit your stable W two job and start 422 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: investing in real estate for yourself. She's like, the irs 423 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,400 Speaker 1: doesn't reward you for being an employee. 424 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 3: It rewards you fort Yeah, she did. 425 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,640 Speaker 1: Actually, I think she might have been like the first 426 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: person to read it because that's when she started investing, 427 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: was back then, and that and the millionaire next door, 428 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: So those were like her two bibles she went by. 429 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 3: And so I was like, Okay, well this seems legit. 430 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: And so I quit, and you know, I head full 431 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 1: buy in from my husband too, and I quit, and 432 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: I started investing in single family homes because I thought 433 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: that was the only way like I didn't know I 434 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: could ever own a multi family asset. I thought only 435 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: like Oprah could own. 436 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,679 Speaker 2: So what did you start with single family homes? By 437 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 2: you bought some rentals? 438 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, I bought some condos. 439 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: I still own some of them today, which is I 440 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: hate owning them. But that's a different story, just because 441 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,159 Speaker 1: it's not at scale and I'm like being bothered for 442 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: like a two hundred dollars problem and I don't care. 443 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 3: Again, not worth my time. 444 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: So anyway, I bought single families condos, and then I 445 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 1: started buying. I discovered wholesale properties were and I never 446 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: wholesale properties, but I bought from wholesalers, and so there 447 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,160 Speaker 1: was a week where I put like five houses under contract. 448 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 2: I want to I want to stop you there before 449 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 2: we get too far out through your career. A couple 450 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 2: of things I want to pull out here for everybody listening. 451 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 2: I've often said I have kids as well. I love 452 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 2: my I have two daughters. I think everyone should have 453 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 2: kids because it makes you less selfish. True, I mean 454 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 2: it should most most people, and a few of my 455 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 2: friends recently just had kids, and I gave them the 456 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 2: best piece of advice that I got, which is you 457 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 2: had your chance. It's all about them. 458 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 3: Yeah. 459 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 2: And the reason why I want to pull this out 460 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 2: real quickly is my dad was a contractor self employed, 461 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,920 Speaker 2: business owner, whatever, right, And I think that's what I 462 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 2: just saw. My dad just went and made money, and 463 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 2: I just went and made money. 464 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:46,439 Speaker 3: Yeah. 465 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 2: The thought of getting jobs doesn't cross my mind. I 466 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 2: just go make money, right, And I think it was 467 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,679 Speaker 2: because it was modeled. And the reason why I'm asking 468 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,199 Speaker 2: this is I think a lot of what you know, 469 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 2: we're our audience that we're hitting, are thinking about themselves, 470 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 2: like should I do this, should I go make this money? 471 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 2: Should I take this RISKI selfishly, but what kind of 472 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 2: example are you studying for your kids? 473 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:10,879 Speaker 3: Yeah? 474 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: I mean that's really the question you should be asking. 475 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,160 Speaker 1: I asked that to myself every single day. I wonder 476 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 1: if I'm ruining them or not. 477 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 2: Well, but I mean, like your mom was out there 478 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,399 Speaker 2: doing it and she modeled that for you, like my 479 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 2: dad modeled it for me, and now you're modeling it 480 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,159 Speaker 2: for your kids versus like you can go get that 481 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 2: job at that nine to five and you can play 482 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 2: it safe, and you could work as a wage slave 483 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 2: for forty years and see your kids two weeks a 484 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 2: year on vacation, or you could go build your own 485 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 2: future and then model that for your kids. And I 486 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 2: guess that's the kind of point that I think about, 487 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 2: where it's like it's bigger than just me and what 488 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,479 Speaker 2: I'm trying to do. Like what role am I studying 489 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,640 Speaker 2: for my kids in this world? Am I showing them 490 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 2: how wealth is generated? Am I showing them all ternative methods? 491 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 2: Your parents showed that to you, just like my parents 492 00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 2: showed it to me, which I'm sure even though you 493 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 2: went and got a job in the beginning I tried it, 494 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 2: it highly impacted your outcome. A lot of what we 495 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,119 Speaker 2: learn I mean about diet and health. I mean it 496 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 2: just comes from our parents. Yeah, And so anyway, I 497 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 2: just want to hit that point. I think it's a 498 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 2: super important for everybody listening. This isn't just about. 499 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 3: You, No, it's not. 500 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 1: And you know, it's funny because my parents left their 501 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: home country with the twenty six dollars that they came 502 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 1: here with just for a chance at being able to 503 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: do what they did and what my sister and I 504 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 1: have now done, And. 505 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 2: So you can do what you're doing exactly. 506 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: Like they laid a foundation for us so that my 507 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: sister and I could like take it and scale it. 508 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 1: And I hope that my kids take what we're doing 509 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: for them and then go even further. Like that's the hope, right, 510 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 1: is that the next generation does better and outperforms and 511 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 1: is more successful and is more impactful and changes more things. 512 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,199 Speaker 1: And the interesting thing about my household is so my 513 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: dad is a PhD in metallurgical engineering, so like he 514 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: did all the schooling on level ten, right, and he 515 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: worked at a W two and so I actually had 516 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: both modeled for. 517 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's exactly what it is. It's like rich Dad Porda. 518 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: And luckily in my case, rich Dad and port Dad 519 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: were married to each other, which is great because I 520 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: got a chance to see. 521 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 3: Both of them. 522 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 1: And you know, my dad worked really hard, and I 523 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: actually asked my parents about this. Now I talk to 524 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: them about this often, and it's really interesting to like 525 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: look back on it, and I think my dad would 526 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: have liked to have started a business, but I think 527 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: the risk was too high for his appetite at that 528 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 1: for both of their appetite at that time, because they 529 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: didn't have like a social safety night here, right, like 530 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,120 Speaker 1: they were the first ones to be here all alone. 531 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,679 Speaker 2: And your dad's job probably gave your mom the safety 532 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 2: night she needs. 533 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 3: That's exactly right. So it was a partnership, well, it 534 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 3: really was a partnership. 535 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: They've been married for forty four years this year, and 536 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: it was like a very symbiotic relationship because my dad 537 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: traveled like forty five weeks. 538 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:55,239 Speaker 3: Out of the year. 539 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: He was gone a lot, and my mom was basically, 540 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: you know, raising these two little girls all by herself. 541 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: And she is somebody who's like, I cannot just sit 542 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: and not contribute to the household in a meaningful way 543 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 1: outside of you know, obviously raising their children. But she 544 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: wanted to contribute financially to the household, and so she 545 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,880 Speaker 1: learned about like the tax efficiency of rep status and 546 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: you know, we would live in like every house for 547 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,119 Speaker 1: two years and then move and then they'd sell it 548 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: so that they could sell it without the capital gains implications. 549 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 1: And she learned about all that before there was internet 550 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 1: and before there were like masterminds, before these communities existed, 551 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 1: there was just books. Yeah, right, exactly, it was just 552 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 1: books and like at the library, wasn't even like websites 553 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: or anything. And so she learned all that like the 554 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: good old fashioned way, And but having my dad's job 555 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 1: gave her the financial stability and the safety net that 556 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 1: she needed to go out and do this thing, which 557 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 1: then in turn made his job more fruitful because they 558 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 1: were so tax efficient. 559 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,439 Speaker 2: When I was a kid, very young, early elementary, my 560 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 2: parents tried to buy a property and fix it and 561 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,880 Speaker 2: flip it. Yeah, and they didn't do good on it. Yeah, 562 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 2: and they never tried it again, never, never tried again. 563 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,199 Speaker 2: So now my parents own multiple rental properties, but it 564 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 2: was most of my life they didn't mess with that. 565 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 2: So you know, it could go either way. So let's 566 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 2: talk about this. So then you jumped in, you start 567 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 2: buying condos, you start buying single families. Tell me how 568 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 2: you got started so somebody else can follow this path. 569 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 2: So what I say I said earlier successfully is clues. 570 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 2: And what I think too many people make the mistake 571 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 2: is they go, oh, look what Vena's doing. I'm going 572 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 2: to do exactly what VENA does. But what they need 573 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 2: to do is they need to do what VENA did. Yeah, right, 574 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 2: And so it's like, no, no, you can't do what 575 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 2: I do, yea, like you can't just like watch whatever 576 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 2: UFC and go I want to go jump in the 577 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 2: ring like them. Well, you have to take the path, 578 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 2: so let's let's talk through this sort of path. 579 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, so okay, started with single families. 580 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 3: Actually, if I could go back, I wouldn't have started there. 581 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 2: And did you buy like something local because like people 582 00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 2: like I have to live buy my property in case something. 583 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: Yes, I was living in DC at the time when 584 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: I was acquiring, and then I started buying in Dallas, 585 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: which I live there now, so I did start buying locally. 586 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 3: My first multi family. 587 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 1: Deal was in Dallas, but I think that was actually 588 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: more coincidental than planned or I don't know. It's hard 589 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,439 Speaker 1: because maybe if someone had brought me a deal in 590 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: like Michigan, I would have been like, no way because 591 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: I can't see it, and so I don't actually know 592 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: if that would have changed it or not. So maybe 593 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: happy accident that it was in Dallas. But what I 594 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: would do differently, or if I was starting from total scratch, 595 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 1: I would consume all of the free content I absolutely could. 596 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,640 Speaker 1: I would find the people who have done the thing, 597 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: and then go find whatever consolidated information they have, whether 598 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 1: it's like a course or a book, or a class 599 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: or a community, and I would join all of the 600 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: ones that resonated with what I wanted to do and 601 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 1: like were in alignment with me, and if I were 602 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 1: joining a community. This is the biggest mistake I think 603 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 1: people that join the multipi community make is they watch 604 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: the video in two days and they go, Okay, that's it, 605 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: and like, it took over fifty years of experience and 606 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 1: over a month for us to record that, and it 607 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: took you less than twenty four hours to watch them. Yeah, 608 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 1: you didn't get everything from them. I guarantee you that. 609 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,919 Speaker 1: So that's like one, but two is not leveraging the community. 610 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 1: You should be talking to at least like five to 611 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: ten new people from the community itself. You should be 612 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,400 Speaker 1: meeting on a zoom with them every week every week. 613 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 2: So what you're saying is you actually have to do 614 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 2: a little bit of work. You do have to do. 615 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 2: You know when I was when I was actively buying 616 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 2: and selling and fixing and flipping properties, I would look 617 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,959 Speaker 2: at over one hundred a week. Oh yeah, I mean 618 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 2: you got to you're looking for a needle in a haystack. Yes, 619 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 2: And people would be like, oh, Mark, I want to 620 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 2: do what you're doing. And they would say, Mark, I 621 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 2: want to do what you're doing, and they'd go look 622 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 2: at three or four properties and say I can't find 623 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 2: a good one. 624 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 3: I'm like three or four, you haven't even started, Like. 625 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 2: You got to dig through hundreds of properties, right, and 626 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,679 Speaker 2: then back to kind of the course thing. You know, 627 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 2: there's three levels of learning, right, one learning information, to 628 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 2: do the information, and teaching it. So like I use 629 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 2: that stuff as like a workbook. Yeah right, so like hey, 630 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,719 Speaker 2: let me let me go through module one and let 631 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 2: me do module one's work, and then I'll go get 632 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 2: module two. Yeah, kind of a thing as well. Yeah, okay, 633 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 2: So you would suggest if someone want to get started now, 634 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 2: just to go do the research. There's plenty of free 635 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 2: information out there. What I like to say, because I'm 636 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 2: mostly more in the like asset investing area, and people 637 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 2: ask me what's the best asset I should buy? And 638 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 2: I said, that's the wrong question. The question is how 639 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 2: can I go get enough information where buying the asset 640 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 2: is obvious to me? And so when people are saying, 641 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 2: well should I buy single family? Should I buy multi family? 642 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:37,919 Speaker 2: You go do the research and tell you know that 643 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 2: answer to that question. I can't just tell you that. 644 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 1: This is the question I get. Should I start with 645 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: single family or multi family? And I go yes, They're 646 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: like what do you mean? And like, which everyone's going 647 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 1: to get you started first? That's the one you should do, 648 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 1: because you know, time in the market matters more than 649 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: timing the market. And I think a lot of people 650 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: the misconception with multi family is that you and I 651 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: can't access that, and that's just simply not true. And 652 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 1: that's what I thought too. That's why I started in 653 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 1: a single family because it was all that was modeled 654 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,399 Speaker 1: to me. My mom never knew or told me that 655 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,239 Speaker 1: I could invest in multifamily at the scale I invest in, right, 656 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: And I think if you would have told her twenty 657 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 1: years ago that she could have bought a four hundred 658 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 1: unit complex, she would have been like, no, yeah, like, 659 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 1: we don't make that much money here, right, And that's 660 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,439 Speaker 1: just it's not the amount of money you make that 661 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,879 Speaker 1: actually matters. That's not the barrier to entry. It's the 662 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 1: hard work that's the filter. 663 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, let's so now you've said where we 664 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 2: should get started. One do the information. Plenty of free 665 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 2: information out there, information, plenty of networking groups you can do. 666 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:42,479 Speaker 2: I mean, I just just jump onto Twitter or instant. 667 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,360 Speaker 2: You can just find the people and just follow those people, right, 668 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 2: and then you can see who they're following. You can 669 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 2: follow those people. So there's plenty of free resources out there. 670 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,679 Speaker 2: Let's jump to the next highest level where you're at today, 671 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 2: multi family. I'm super interested in multi family. The largest 672 00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 2: building I owned, I had one partner on and we 673 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,879 Speaker 2: had two hundred doors in Atlanta. Didn't really work out 674 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,400 Speaker 2: too well for us, but that was the biggest I went. 675 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 2: But mostly was that this was like two thousand and six. 676 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 3: Okay, I say less, I know, I know why this 677 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:11,400 Speaker 3: is great. 678 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 2: But most everything I did was like multifamily. This was 679 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 2: like kind of like mixed use, et cetera. But I'm 680 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 2: really interested in multi family specifically because I'm at a 681 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 2: point in my career where I don't want to own 682 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,360 Speaker 2: a bunch of condos. Yeah, like kind of like where 683 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,239 Speaker 2: you're at, It's like, look, let me just go in 684 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 2: on a multifamily deal. I need economy of scale, if 685 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,119 Speaker 2: you will, So let's talk about that. So where does 686 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 2: somebody get in on multifamily? 687 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 1: Okay, lowest barrier to entry is if you want to 688 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: be an LP and a deal which is a limited partner. 689 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 1: So that means you go and you find a Vina 690 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 1: Jetty or a Brenda Jones and you write a check 691 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: and then she invests it manages your fund. Right, Like, 692 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 1: that's the first way you could do it. That's very passive. 693 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: So that's someone like you, right who has an expertise, 694 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: has a business, has like a full career, but you 695 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: want the exposure to multi family. So that is the 696 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 1: perfect like inroad or starter series. 697 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 2: So how does that typically break broken down? 698 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: So the way that generally would work is you find 699 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 1: the person you want to invest with, you know, you 700 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: vet them and ask them the track record all those 701 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: questions and then you say, okay, great, I want to 702 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 1: write one hundred thousand dollars check or whatever that number is. Right, 703 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: some funds their minimums are twenty five k. There's some 704 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 1: as low as like a thousand dollars that you can 705 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,959 Speaker 1: get into. Yeah, a reg CF a crowdfund you can 706 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: get into, like a lot of them are a thousand dollars. 707 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 1: Reg A's you can get into for like a thousand 708 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: or ten thousand. Most private funds, which is what we 709 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: do is like a private fund will have anywhere from 710 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 1: twenty five k, but really like fifty k is usually 711 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 1: the low end, and then you could write a check 712 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: for millions of dollars if you want. So you go 713 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 1: find those people and you invest passively. You'll learn a lot. 714 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 2: And what kind of terms would I typically be expecting. 715 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 1: So depending on the asset class, the location, the strategy. 716 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 1: We do Class B value at multi family and we 717 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: do large scale quality outsets, so for us, they're a 718 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 1: little bit lower risk, so lower reward. We expect anywhere 719 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: from like a fourteen to sixteen percent average annualized return 720 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 1: over a five year old So on an equity multiple, 721 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 1: you're looking at like anywhere from one point four on 722 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: the very low end to like one point eight. One 723 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 1: point six to one point eight is probably more accurate. 724 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 2: So then I'm part owner of that asset as an LP, 725 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 2: and then I put the money in. Yeah, I own 726 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 2: a certain percentage whatever the terms are, I'm guessing typically 727 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 2: I'm going to get a preferred return of eight nine 728 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 2: six percent. 729 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 1: Six We're no longer I wish we were still an 730 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 1: eight percent, we're no longer. 731 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 2: Six percent preferred return, meaning that six percent is guaranteed 732 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 2: to me before the rest of the partners get their money. 733 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 3: You get the first six percent. 734 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I get if percent. I get the first that's 735 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 2: a better way to say it. And then we're hoping 736 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 2: that we'll get up to fourteen percent over a five 737 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 2: year period. And then typically what happens is then over 738 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 2: five years and you're going to refinance the building, I 739 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 2: get my money back, but I still own the. 740 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 3: Building or we sell it to the next buyer and I. 741 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 2: Get cash downs. 742 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:05,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you get and I can get rolled into 743 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 1: the get rolled over, I get rolled in the next deal. Yeah, 744 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: So that's that's typically we usually historically we've held three 745 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 1: years and three months, which was a very unusual time in. 746 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 3: The market, but it was a good ball run. Yeah. 747 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 1: Generally in the bear market, we're looking at like five 748 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 1: to seven years. 749 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 2: So every five years, I get my money back or 750 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 2: rolled into the next deal. Typically, that's kind of how 751 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 2: it works, and it gets bigger and bigger. 752 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 1: What about the tax advantages, Yeah, so you're going to 753 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 1: get a negative K one because you're an owner in 754 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 1: the deal, so you are actually owning a part of 755 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 1: the depreciation. And so we just had the bonus one 756 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 1: hundred percent bonus appreciation expire. 757 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 3: At the end of twenty two. 758 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 2: Drop to eighty. 759 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, drop to eighty So the one hundred percent expired 760 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: end of twenty two, twenty. 761 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 2: Four, it's coming backs. 762 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: Guess right now we are we're holding back from sending 763 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 1: investor K one's right now because we think that there's 764 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: a very good chance it'll come back at one hundred percent. 765 00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see how we can treat twenty 766 00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: twenty three and if we can redo our tax allocation 767 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: based on one hundred percent or not. If we can, 768 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: then well, you know, reissue the k ones as needed. 769 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 1: But I do think it's going to come back in 770 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 1: which means that if you invested let's say one hundred 771 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 1: thousand dollars, now you're looking at a negative K one 772 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 1: of you know, let's call it forty k So you're 773 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 1: on paper, you're getting a loss of forty thousand dollars. 774 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 1: And if you're a full time real estate professional, you 775 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 1: can offset active income with active losses. If you're not, 776 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: then it's passive. It's a passive loss, but you can 777 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: leverage it against other passive income you might have, or 778 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 1: the income from the investment suspend it, suspend the loss, 779 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 1: and then when we exit and you get a massive 780 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 1: capital gain, we can offset the capital gain with your 781 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 1: suspended loss. 782 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 2: So find somebody who's doing these deals. We can partner 783 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,560 Speaker 2: in them as an LP. Could be anywhere from a 784 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 2: few thousand up to millions, approximately six percent sort of 785 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 2: preferred return hopefully making up to fourteen fifteen percent over 786 00:32:58,280 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 2: a couple of years, and it gets rolled over every 787 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 2: every five years. You said you should vet them and 788 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,720 Speaker 2: you ask them a bunch of questions. Yeah, what types 789 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 2: of things should people be looking for when they're vetting? 790 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 1: Okay, so my favorites. If you can only ask one 791 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 1: question to any sponsor. I always like to ask, what 792 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: is the biggest mistake you've made in multi family and 793 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 1: whatever asset class? Right in crypto? And I want to 794 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: hear what their answer is. So you'll get like one 795 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: of two things. Usually you'll get we've never made a mistake, 796 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 1: or we don't have anything that's major like that, which 797 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 1: tells me either you haven't been in business long enough 798 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 1: or you're lying to me. And I don't know which 799 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 1: one's worse, but I'm out. Yeah, what you really want 800 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 1: to hear is, oh, let me pick one of the 801 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,360 Speaker 1: mistakes I've made, because there should have been many along 802 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 1: the way. Smooth Sea's never made a skill, say exactly, 803 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 1: And so I want to know what you perceived to 804 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 1: be the biggest mistake, and I want to know what 805 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 1: you did wrong, and then I want to know what 806 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 1: is the thing you learned from that and what protections 807 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 1: are in place now so that you don't do that again, 808 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 1: because the goal is not to have a sponsor that's 809 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 1: perfect all the time, because it's just not realistic, it's 810 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:09,239 Speaker 1: not probable. And so that's like the one big question 811 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 1: I always ask, like, what's the biggest mistake you've made? 812 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:12,880 Speaker 1: And then I want to hear what your answer is 813 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,319 Speaker 1: back to me. And then after that, you know, I'll 814 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,759 Speaker 1: ask questions like do you have skin in the game, 815 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 1: like what's your invest do you invest? 816 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:21,440 Speaker 3: And if you say no, I want a really good 817 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 3: reason why. 818 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 1: I want to know, like I don't have any money left, 819 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 1: or I just invested into this other thing or whatever 820 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:29,880 Speaker 1: it is. I want to know why you're not investing, 821 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,800 Speaker 1: because if I'm going to trust you with my dollars, 822 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,320 Speaker 1: why should I if you don't trust. 823 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:35,720 Speaker 3: Your own dollars? 824 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,560 Speaker 1: And more so that's like another big question I ask. 825 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 1: Another one I ask is, Hey, when things go wrong, 826 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,600 Speaker 1: who can control the deal? Like who can make decisions 827 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 1: about this? And in the multi family space when you're 828 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:53,480 Speaker 1: in LP the another secret question I ask is who 829 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 1: can influence what is said in the PPM, the private 830 00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,960 Speaker 1: Placement memorandum, which is your legal document. 831 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:00,320 Speaker 3: I want to know who can influence? 832 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 1: And I asked that question because it's a way to 833 00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:07,000 Speaker 1: find out from like a non defensive standpoint, who's actually 834 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,800 Speaker 1: running the deal, right, Because if you have a partner 835 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:11,760 Speaker 1: in the deal, it's like a one percent owner who's 836 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,400 Speaker 1: just like in the deal for some obscure reason, but 837 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 1: not really influencing the deal. I don't really care about 838 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,279 Speaker 1: their background or resume, right, But like I care about 839 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,719 Speaker 1: the people who can influence the PPM because usually those 840 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 1: are the sponsors that are actively involved in the deal. 841 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 2: What about track record, like how did your rent roles 842 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,000 Speaker 2: work through the twenty twenty pandemic? Yeah, or in two 843 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 2: thousand and eight, what were your occupancies like or vacancies like? 844 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 1: Well, hopefully, especially if they've been recently in this field, 845 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 1: they're going to talk about something that we learned during 846 00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,800 Speaker 1: the COVID period, right, because that was probably the biggest 847 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,200 Speaker 1: uncertainty that most of us had, was that period from 848 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 1: twenty twenty to twenty twenty two, right, or even twenty 849 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,239 Speaker 1: twenty two to twenty three, where interest rates shot up. 850 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 3: A lot of sponsors got really hurt. 851 00:35:55,760 --> 00:36:00,440 Speaker 1: By it, And so hopefully the mistake question covers somethingcent 852 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:00,839 Speaker 1: to this. 853 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 3: But I do like to ask about track record. 854 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 1: I'm less inclined to make a decision solely based on 855 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,879 Speaker 1: track record in the sense of if someone's new, right 856 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,799 Speaker 1: and they're just starting out, I would rather know that 857 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,240 Speaker 1: they're hungry. I would rather know that they have everything 858 00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,360 Speaker 1: invested in this. I would rather know that their family 859 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 1: is relying on this success to be able to like 860 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 1: eat tomorrow, than to invest with somebody who has like 861 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,239 Speaker 1: all of this experience and doesn't really care about the deal. 862 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 3: So like, if they have all this. 863 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,319 Speaker 1: Experience and then they're not investing in their own deal 864 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 1: and all they do is raise capital, and like, you really. 865 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,200 Speaker 2: Invest all these all these are individual levers, and then 866 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 2: you have to sort of tittlem up at the bottom 867 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:41,200 Speaker 2: and see how they What about what about vertically integrated 868 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,880 Speaker 2: companies that I don't care. 869 00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 1: As much about that, and it maybe you just biased 870 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 1: because we're not vertically integrated, and we're purposefully not vertically 871 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,000 Speaker 1: integrated when I hate property management. 872 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 3: So there's that. 873 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,600 Speaker 1: But two, and probably more importantly, is until you get 874 00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 1: to a certain scale in a very small market geographically, 875 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 1: it doesn't really make sense to have property management. But 876 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 1: one thing that I do is, like I only do multifamily. 877 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 1: I have one trick, and this is the only trick 878 00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,320 Speaker 1: I do. And every single thing I do that's outside 879 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:16,440 Speaker 1: of this that I'm active in is some adjacent field. 880 00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,719 Speaker 1: It's not necessarily a vertical, but it is adjacent to multifamily. 881 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, what's your outlook now? So we're here in 882 00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,319 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, we had obviously, the FED has been 883 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,400 Speaker 2: on this experiment of raising rates at the fastest rate 884 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:36,080 Speaker 2: in history, potentially two point nine two trillion dollars of 885 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 2: commercial real estate mortgage bonds that are about to blow 886 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:42,360 Speaker 2: up and collapse the entire mid side Midtier banking system. 887 00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:45,239 Speaker 2: Caused a lot of problems for a lot of the 888 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:48,000 Speaker 2: new sponsors that jumped onto the bandwagon at the tail 889 00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:51,400 Speaker 2: end of this. They got caught upside down. Potentially a 890 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,080 Speaker 2: lot of weakness there. I guess, one, what does that 891 00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,360 Speaker 2: do for like the deal flow that you're looking at 892 00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,120 Speaker 2: right now, and then sort of what's your outlook that 893 00:37:59,160 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 2: you're kind of looking for. 894 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,759 Speaker 3: Yeah, so last year we transacted on one deal. It 895 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:04,279 Speaker 3: was a big deal. 896 00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 1: It was one hundred and thirty one point five million, 897 00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:08,480 Speaker 1: So it was a large deal, four hundred and thirty 898 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,319 Speaker 1: two units. But it was the only deal I did 899 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 1: last year because there wasn't deal flow. I just got 900 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,200 Speaker 1: out of a best and final round where the first 901 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,400 Speaker 1: round of offers that were submitted it was a sixty 902 00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,160 Speaker 1: million dollar assets, a little bit smaller than we usually 903 00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:24,000 Speaker 1: transact today. 904 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,200 Speaker 3: But we're like, all right, we'll go after it's a 905 00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:27,399 Speaker 3: good asset, good deal. 906 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:28,960 Speaker 1: We can make the numbers work. So we offered like 907 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:30,040 Speaker 1: somewhere around sixty million. 908 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:31,360 Speaker 2: Is that on the market or from a bit it 909 00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:32,279 Speaker 2: was on the market. 910 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:37,960 Speaker 1: And we were up against sixty other offers six zero. 911 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,280 Speaker 1: What that tells me is there's a lot of money 912 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:45,319 Speaker 1: coming out to play like off the sidelines, a lot 913 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:50,840 Speaker 1: of drive. Yeah, it's very much a seller's market. Well, actually, 914 00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:52,600 Speaker 1: I take that back. It's not a seller's market, but 915 00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,400 Speaker 1: it is. It's a buyer's market, but it's now starting 916 00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,240 Speaker 1: to get competitive again where sellers can start making demands 917 00:38:58,200 --> 00:38:59,919 Speaker 1: so that they were making before. The thing that hinder 918 00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:03,520 Speaker 1: it for being truly a seller's market is interest rates. 919 00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:04,560 Speaker 3: So it's all the name. 920 00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,080 Speaker 2: You have sixty offers trying to get one asset. 921 00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:08,919 Speaker 1: You do, but that's because it's a very specific seller. 922 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:13,120 Speaker 1: It's the sellers who have good debt in place that's assumable. Okay, 923 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,560 Speaker 1: that those are the sellers that are in a seller's market, 924 00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,040 Speaker 1: But the market overall is still a buyer's market. 925 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 3: Like we're still seeing offers. 926 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,040 Speaker 1: Where it's like, oh, I want like a thirty day 927 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,560 Speaker 1: free look with no earnest money, and it's like, we 928 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,319 Speaker 1: haven't done that in the last decade, and now we're 929 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,799 Speaker 1: starting to see that, and that's very typical. But if 930 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,399 Speaker 1: you have a great assumable debt product, like the deal 931 00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,239 Speaker 1: we bought for one hundred and thirty one million, we 932 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,440 Speaker 1: assume debt at two point seven seven percent fixed for 933 00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:39,120 Speaker 1: twelve years. 934 00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,400 Speaker 2: Wow, So it take that all day. 935 00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:42,040 Speaker 3: I mean all day. 936 00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,239 Speaker 1: And that was an off market deal, which is why 937 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,239 Speaker 1: we got it as great as we did. But if 938 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:48,600 Speaker 1: it had been on market, we would have been up 939 00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 1: against maybe not sixty offers, because at the size, there's 940 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:53,880 Speaker 1: very few people that can actually close on and so 941 00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:55,799 Speaker 1: maybe we would have been up against like ten or 942 00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,160 Speaker 1: fifteen or twenty offers, which is still a lot for 943 00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 1: that size of asset, but yet so deal flow we're 944 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,520 Speaker 1: starting to see it ramp up a little bit more, 945 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,360 Speaker 1: but we're seeing the competition ramp up. My outlook for 946 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:12,600 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four is very bullish on multifamily, specifically toward 947 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,120 Speaker 1: the last half of the year. I think we're going 948 00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,719 Speaker 1: to see so much opportunity right now. The name of 949 00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,120 Speaker 1: the game and multi family is like survived till twenty 950 00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:22,520 Speaker 1: twenty five, Like that is the goal, because everybody is 951 00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,279 Speaker 1: getting destroyed with below the line performance, which is the 952 00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:30,600 Speaker 1: debt service, and it has really hindered cash flow on 953 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,240 Speaker 1: a lot of assets, especially with bridget And there's forty 954 00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,960 Speaker 1: seven billion dollars of multi family loans that are coming 955 00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:39,319 Speaker 1: to this year, and I think that a lot of 956 00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:42,400 Speaker 1: that is going to be sellers who can't either afford 957 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,960 Speaker 1: the rate CAAP extension or sellers who cannot afford to 958 00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,480 Speaker 1: refit and releverage, or they'll have to bring money to 959 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:50,440 Speaker 1: the table to do that, and they didn't plan for that. 960 00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:54,120 Speaker 1: And I think that's going to be an interesting opportunity 961 00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,240 Speaker 1: for the people that are like getting ready now comes 962 00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:58,920 Speaker 1: six months from now, there's going to be so much 963 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:02,280 Speaker 1: opportunity to come in and pick up those on sale assets. 964 00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:05,759 Speaker 2: And I think there could be a pivotal point. I mean, 965 00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,279 Speaker 2: obviously everyone's pivotal looking for the FED to pivot right 966 00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,400 Speaker 2: or love Shart lowering rates. And if you're buying a 967 00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,480 Speaker 2: cash flow property based off of a cap rate, if 968 00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,000 Speaker 2: the debt service goes down because rates come down, it 969 00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,719 Speaker 2: could push the valuation of those buildings back up. So 970 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,680 Speaker 2: you know, you buy right before the pivot happens and 971 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,600 Speaker 2: then potentially it could push the assets back up. It'd 972 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:25,479 Speaker 2: be pretty good, YEP. 973 00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:30,040 Speaker 1: I think like so generally speaking, cap rates and interest 974 00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:33,319 Speaker 1: rates have like a sixty to seventy percent correlation, so 975 00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,880 Speaker 1: as interest rates have spiked, cap rates have expanded. But 976 00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,240 Speaker 1: to your point, I think we're starting we're actually starting 977 00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:43,200 Speaker 1: starting to see compression again, which surprise pleasantly surprised me 978 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,480 Speaker 1: because I thought we were still going to be in 979 00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,879 Speaker 1: like a steady cap rate environment, but we're actually seeing 980 00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,880 Speaker 1: it compress again, So it'll be interesting to see. I 981 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:52,360 Speaker 1: think that there's a very good chance that by the 982 00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:55,040 Speaker 1: end of the year cap rates compress like another quarter 983 00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,279 Speaker 1: of a point, maybe half a point, I don't know, 984 00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,239 Speaker 1: but I don't think we'll see them as low. 985 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,839 Speaker 2: Going going down, yeah, going down? Yeah? Yeah. What what 986 00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:03,960 Speaker 2: markets do you like? 987 00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:08,240 Speaker 1: Texas, Florida, Georgia and North Carolina, South Carolina, Arizona, sun Belt. 988 00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:09,320 Speaker 3: Yes, the sun Belt. 989 00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:11,320 Speaker 2: Everybody wants to be worre it's warm and sunny. 990 00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,800 Speaker 3: Yes, and also the states that are maybe more landlord. 991 00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,160 Speaker 2: Friendly certainly don't buy in California. 992 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I that is not on the top of 993 00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:21,960 Speaker 3: my list.

So 1073 00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,799 Speaker 2: our goal isn't wealth. For most of us, it's using 1074 00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:40,719 Speaker 2: wealth to get the time back. Hopefully a lot of 1075 00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:44,160 Speaker 2: it is to make an impact on the world. People 1076 00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:45,919 Speaker 2: ask me how much is enough, and I'm like, enough, 1077 00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,799 Speaker 2: what enough experiences with my family?

Like, if you think there's enough, you're 1080 00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:58,480 Speaker 2: thinking too selfishly. But for the most part, it's sort 1081 00:45:58,480 --> 00:45:59,879 Speaker 2: of doing that. But when I think about these wealth 1082 00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:03,200 Speaker 2: vehicles that we have, they're all kind of about the 1083 00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:05,920 Speaker 2: same amount of work. Yeah, so it's just like which 1084 00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:07,040 Speaker 2: one do you want to build? 1085 00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:07,480 Speaker 3: Pick one? 1086 00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:10,719 Speaker 2: Right, Like, just pick one. I mean it's all of 1087 00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:12,920 Speaker 2: these traditional work methods. Whether you want to go in 1088 00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:16,160 Speaker 2: a cubicle for forty fifty hours a week for forty years, 1089 00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:17,439 Speaker 2: that's a lot of work too, and like you could 1090 00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:19,440 Speaker 2: put that same amount of time in so to be 1091 00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:21,160 Speaker 2: in a room with people that are buying and selling 1092 00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:23,399 Speaker 2: private jet, it's like they just operate at a different level. 1093 00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:27,000 Speaker 2: There's playing a different wealth game, drive a different wealth vehicle. Okay, 1094 00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,080 Speaker 2: so get in those rooms, get around those types of people, 1095 00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:30,759 Speaker 2: and I guess just draft off of them. 1096 00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:34,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, most people are willing to help you, 1097 00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:36,920 Speaker 1: especially once you've reached like a certain level of success, 1098 00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:38,680 Speaker 1: Like no one's going to ask you a question in person. 1099 00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:39,759 Speaker 3: You're like, no, I'm not going to. 1100 00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:43,080 Speaker 1: Tell you that, Like, yeah, of course, I at least 1101 00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:44,919 Speaker 1: am like Okay, sit down. 1102 00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:46,719 Speaker 3: Here are all the things that I learned. 1103 00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:48,200 Speaker 2: Here's wait, let me buy your coffee first. 1104 00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,120 Speaker 1: But yeah, they can't buy me coffe.

We collaborate with 1111 00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,600 Speaker 1: each other. And I think that's a really important distinction. 1112 00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:10,880 Speaker 1: Like competition with each other is like the lowest vibration 1113 00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:14,440 Speaker 1: you can be in, but collaboration is like a high vibration. 1114 00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:17,440 Speaker 1: And when you're around people who think truly in abundance, 1115 00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:20,680 Speaker 1: like I thought I was abundant mindset, and then I 1116 00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:23,200 Speaker 1: started being around people who actually were in an abundant mindset, 1117 00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:26,080 Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, there's like levels to this 1118 00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:30,600 Speaker 1: game too, right, And so now I've like shifted my perspective. 1119 00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:30,680 Speaker 3: Am I thinking? 1120 00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:34,000 Speaker 1: But now that I'm like more in an abundant mindset, 1121 00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:36,520 Speaker 1: it's like abundance breeds more abundance and then it just 1122 00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:38,440 Speaker 1: like gets bigger and bigger, and it's like the snowball 1123 00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:41,360 Speaker 1: effect that you can't stop it rolling down the hill anymore. 1124 00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:45,480 Speaker 2: Yeah.
