1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,480 Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador 3 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with 4 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just 5 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President 6 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,320 Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States 7 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border 8 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over 9 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you 10 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 1: are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly 11 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will 12 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: never return. But if you register using our CBP home 13 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally. 14 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws, 15 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: border and families will be protected. 16 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security. 17 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot to unpack, but I want to 18 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 3: go back just to beginning for a set. Because you 19 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 3: made a very wise decision that most Americans don't make, 20 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 3: and you bought multi family right away, because you know, 21 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 3: most times, you know, in our communities, it's like we 22 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 3: save enough money to buy the home that we can 23 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 3: afford or the dream home that we think we can afford, 24 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 3: and rerealize later that we can't. But you started with 25 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 3: multi family right away. Was that the strategy all along, 26 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 3: as you had been seeing people do that and as 27 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,759 Speaker 3: that as a way of having passive income. 28 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, that was definitely my objective in that we wanted 29 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 4: to you know, when you think about it, right, the 30 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 4: fundamental equation is this, most people buy into that American 31 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 4: dream right where you know, if you take a person, 32 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 4: they go out and buy home, they save all their money, 33 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 4: they buy single family home, they move into it for 34 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 4: the next thirty years. Mostly the disposable income is going 35 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 4: to pay that mortgage. 36 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 2: That's it. 37 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 4: But if they just did something a little bit differently, 38 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 4: buy a couple of income generating assets first. Right in 39 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 4: the case I was talking about when I bought my 40 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 4: first multi family, I mean that was making me between 41 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 4: eight hundred and thousand dollars a month. 42 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 2: So they'll called one thousand dollars a month. 43 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 4: If you're making sixty grand and you buy a multifamily 44 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 4: house and you can make yourself an extra thousand dollars 45 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 4: a month. You've given yourself a twenty percent raise, right, 46 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 4: and you can do that repeatedly. And the more assets 47 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 4: you have that are generating income for you, the easier 48 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 4: it is to buy your next one and your next one. Right, 49 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 4: it's like getting off of that point of inertia. But 50 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 4: if you choose to buy a single family home and 51 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 4: move into it, I think you know, it's not as 52 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 4: lucrative and it's not the wealth generating instrument that investment 53 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 4: properties are. 54 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 5: So let's let's get into this real estate development conversation. 55 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 5: But somebody that's looking to become a real estate developer 56 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 5: right now, right, what advice would you give them in 57 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 5: order to because I understand that it's not necessarily easy 58 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 5: to get into the game and it's all about relationships 59 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 5: a lot of times. So what advice would you get 60 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 5: to somebody as looking to become a real estate developer? 61 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,679 Speaker 4: So the first thing is just learn the equation, right, 62 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 4: because you could do the equation on a multi family, 63 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 4: three family, which most people can have a level of 64 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 4: access to. 65 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 2: But it's that. 66 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 4: Same equation that's saying the same mechanics that go through 67 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 4: in a development deal. Granted, the variables change a little 68 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 4: bit because if you get into development you have to 69 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 4: take on some different risks, but you're basically buying an asset, 70 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 4: you're investing money in it. You're starting with a multi family, 71 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 4: like a three family. You're going to learn things like 72 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 4: how to do maintenance right when that toilet gets backed up. 73 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 4: You're going to learn something about plumbing, You're going to 74 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 4: learn something about electrical and folks should not be scared to, 75 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 4: you know, take on the challenge because everything you learn 76 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 4: increases your knowledge base, and the more knowledge you have, 77 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 4: the more you're able to monetize your situation. So, you know, 78 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 4: I would encourage folks to start small. 79 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 2: So start with. 80 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:07,559 Speaker 4: An operating property first, right, a multifamily, learn the mechanics. 81 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 4: Down the road, you may want to say, you know, 82 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 4: I'm going to buy a Brownstone or some other home 83 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 4: that you can actually renovate and reposition. I mean, everyone 84 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 4: watches HGTV and those kind of things. You see people 85 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 4: doing flips. That's another aspect of you know, in real 86 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 4: estate investing, in real estate development that. 87 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 2: Is achievable and accessible for most people. 88 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 4: But if you do that, you learn how to you know, 89 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 4: contract with an electrician, how to get the plumbing redone 90 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 4: in the house, how to you know, put get a 91 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 4: new roof, put on all the things that you basically 92 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 4: do when you develop, but you're learning it in a 93 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 4: little bit of a safer scenario. And once you you know, 94 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 4: you go from crawling to walking, you can run, so. 95 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 2: That that crawling process. 96 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 3: I imagine now as your intern well Internet for free right, 97 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 3: You're you're saying, can I help this firm take us 98 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 3: through that process of what you're learning? What do you 99 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 3: see the negatives and positives of this space that you're 100 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 3: now in, and to that moment where you now see 101 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 3: your name at the bottom of the bet and you're like, wait, 102 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 3: my name needs to be next to be needs to 103 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 3: be next to the bigger figures on this what's that 104 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 3: process like for you? 105 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 4: You mean, going from just like starting to learn, well, 106 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 4: it's really just desire man, like, you know, really wanting 107 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 4: to learn it. You think about what this opportunity represented 108 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 4: for me was, you know, to actualize a dream and 109 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 4: being an entrepreneur, and so I was intent on learning everything. So, uh, 110 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 4: you know why I stayed with that developer for free 111 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 4: for two years because I wanted to learn and I 112 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 4: wanted to soak up everything like a sponge. So my 113 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 4: background is in finance. I have two degrees in finance, 114 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 4: Bachelors and the Masters, and I worked as an investment banker, 115 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 4: so I came to the table with really strong financial acumen. 116 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 2: So the. 117 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 4: You know, the math in real estate is simple math, 118 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 4: and you don't have to be an investment banker and 119 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 4: you don't have to have an MBA to do it. 120 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 4: It's simple math because the income is generated from people 121 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 4: paying rent, you have operating expenses, and you have cash flow. 122 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 4: It's really a simple equation. Development goes a little bit 123 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,919 Speaker 4: deeper because you have to take something that's not generating 124 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 4: any income and put it through a process where you're 125 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 4: going to borrow some capital, both debt and equity. You're 126 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 4: going to hire an architect, maybe through some entitlement work 127 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 4: so that you can have the right zoning or whatever. 128 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 2: You need to build. 129 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 4: Then you're going to go through the process of actually 130 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 4: constructing something a little bit more risky. But once you 131 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 4: get your wheels under you, you can do this. And 132 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 4: so learning all of those different aspects, you know, the 133 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 4: financing component being very focused on project management, so making 134 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 4: sure the our plans were getting done on time, and 135 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 4: you know, the legal documents that we needed around developments 136 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 4: were also moving along and are structured properly. 137 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 2: There's a lot of engagement in what I. 138 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 4: Do now with municipalities because when we're developed affordable housing, 139 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 4: it can't be done without the participation and the support 140 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 4: of government. And so there's a lot of what I 141 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 4: think is undue bureaucracy in some markets that you have 142 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 4: to contend with. But then there are other markets that 143 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 4: are easy to function and that is why as a company, 144 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 4: we chose to expand out of New York City into 145 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 4: several other markets where there really is tremendous demand for housing, 146 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 4: both you know market rate, moderate income and you know 147 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 4: affordable housing as well. 148 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 5: So can you walk us through the development of a building. 149 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 5: It could be in New York or out of New York. 150 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 5: I know this is RFPs right, and then you have 151 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 5: to get the financing right and like you said, you 152 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 5: have to get the architect, you got to go through 153 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 5: the permit process. 154 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 2: So yeah, can you kind of walk us through stuff? 155 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 2: So let's start with earners. What's up. 156 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 3: You ever walk into a small business and everything just 157 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 3: works like the checkout is fast, there are seats of 158 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 3: digital tipping is a breeze, and you're out the door 159 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 3: before the line even builds.

A 203 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 4: blank piece of dirt, okay. So you have a piece 204 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,319 Speaker 4: of dirt, let's call it in Brooklyn, Okay. And it's 205 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 4: in a neighborhood that's turning over and is improving. And 206 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 4: as an investor, believe you know what, I can put 207 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 4: a building on that piece of dirt, call it fifty 208 00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 4: units and make money. Right, So the processes. First of all, 209 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 4: I see that piece of dirt. The first thing I 210 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 4: want to do is what's called a zoning analysis. I 211 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 4: want to understand what's the size of a building I 212 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 4: could put on there? Can I actually put fifty units? 213 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 4: Is it fifty five units? Is it sixties and forty five? 214 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 2: I don't know. 215 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 4: So an architect would be engaged. They'd conduct a zoning analysis. 216 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 4: And what it does is reads the zoning code and 217 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 4: every municipality in the country has a zoning code, and 218 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 4: it interprets the zoning code and it gives you, right 219 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 4: there in a two three four page report, exactly what 220 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 4: could be built, how high it could be, where the 221 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 4: setbacks have to be. You know, how many dwelling units 222 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 4: can be in that building, the size of every dwelling unit. 223 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 4: So all these very technical features are codified in a document. 224 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 4: So you can take that zoning analysis now and now 225 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 4: go build a financial model, right and that financial model 226 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 4: is going to say, look, I have these fifty units. 227 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 4: Some are studios, some are one bedrooms, some are two bedrooms, 228 00:11:55,760 --> 00:12:01,319 Speaker 4: and they generate x amount of income. Right that the 229 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 4: amount of income they generate has to also be further 230 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 4: reduced by the operating expense. So the superintendent has to 231 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,839 Speaker 4: clean the building or you know, service the residents. The 232 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 4: porters have to take the garbage out and shovel the 233 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 4: snow off the off the front steps. You have to 234 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,719 Speaker 4: pay for electricity in the common areas, you have to 235 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 4: pay your real estate taxes, whatever it is. So you 236 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 4: do a financial model and you see, you know, the 237 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 4: revenue can generate the expenses associated against that project, and 238 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 4: then what kicks out of that is what we called 239 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 4: net operating income. That net operating income is what is 240 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 4: used to service the debt, the mortgage on the building. Right, 241 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 4: so you can see just from a pro forma what 242 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 4: NY the building produces, and that NY will tell you 243 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 4: how much debt you can raise. So and you also 244 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 4: want to have a project that of course can support 245 00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,559 Speaker 4: the debt, so you know how much debt it can support. 246 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 4: Look at, well, how much debt do I need to 247 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 4: build it? And you're going to say, you know, at 248 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 4: fifty unit building. When you become a little bit more seasoned, 249 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 4: you kind of know what construction costs are. But for 250 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 4: folks who aren't, you can literally take your plans, talk 251 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 4: to a builder, say hey, I'm building this building. It's 252 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 4: going to be block and plank, or it's going to 253 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 4: be poored in place, concrete, steel frame, whatever construction methodology 254 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,839 Speaker 4: your structural engineer recommends, and you get a cost, right, 255 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 4: a cost projection for. 256 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 2: Building the building. 257 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,679 Speaker 4: So that building, we'll just use some numbers, right that 258 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 4: let's say to acquire the land and to build everything's 259 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 4: in be ten million dollars and let's say at ten 260 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 4: million dollars is at six percent interest rate, so you know, 261 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 4: every month, that's how much your mortgage payment has to 262 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 4: be on that asset, So that NI has to be 263 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,959 Speaker 4: an excess of that debt coverage that that debt number. 264 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 4: We call that a debt service coverage ratio, So that 265 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 4: DSCR probably needs to be minimum about one point twenty five, 266 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 4: so meaning you want to have one hundred and twenty 267 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 4: five percent of that mortgage number in your NI so 268 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 4: you can comfortably cover the debt service and then when 269 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 4: you pay the debt service, the rest of it in 270 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 4: yours to cash flow. 271 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 3: So when you're looking for let's say that plot of dirt, 272 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 3: what let's are you doing a market analysis to see like, 273 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 3: all right, we're actually looking for a place to invest 274 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 3: in this borough in this city prior to it, or 275 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 3: are we you know, looking at past investments that are 276 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 3: going up in the neighborhood to say, all right, this 277 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 3: is an opportunity for us and now create. 278 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 2: Now that's asked you a great question. 279 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 4: So what you're really doing is you you know, when 280 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 4: you're looking at that particular opportunity, you're doing it. So 281 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 4: you're looking at it because there's probably something else ready 282 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 4: going on in that neighborhood, right, And what we do 283 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 4: is what's called a comp study. So I can call 284 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 4: a real estate broker and say, give me a comp 285 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 4: study for this zip code. So they're going to say, Craig, 286 00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 4: I'll email you this report and it'll have you know, 287 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 4: five buildings, ten buildings that are rending up in and 288 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 4: around the neighborhood, and it'll show me what the rents 289 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 4: are in those buildings, so I can have a reasonable 290 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 4: expectation as to what types of income are generated off 291 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 4: off that asset. Now, in some markets that we call 292 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 4: transitional markets, you know it's not so clear, but you're 293 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 4: taking a bet because let's say something fantastic is going 294 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 4: on in that market, like they're bringing in a new 295 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 4: trains train station, or uh, they're building a new stadium, 296 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 4: and there's a reason why I believe there's going to 297 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 4: be a lot of demand for real estate in that area. 298 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 4: So we will, you know, make an analysis and do 299 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 4: an investment based on that. But in my business, since 300 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 4: we do affordable housing, here's the thing. Affordable housing is 301 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 4: real estate. It's it's actually it's real estate, but it's 302 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 4: really a hybrid. It's really structured finance, right, because we 303 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 4: are offering you is to rent at below market rate. 304 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 4: So it almost doesn't matter what the market is, because 305 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 4: the two bedrooms, say three thousand, in that market, I 306 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 4: could bring it to I could bring it to market 307 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 4: for like say, sixteen hundred eighteen hundred, tremendous discount to 308 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 4: make it much more affordable. And the demand for affordable 309 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 4: housing is insatiable. We cannot build enough of it. I 310 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 4: have to tell y'all right now, in twenty twenty two, 311 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 4: almost twenty twenty three, we have a seven million unit 312 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 4: housing deficit in this country. Seven million units. That means 313 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 4: we could build for the next ten years. We'd have 314 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 4: to build for the next ten years across the country 315 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 4: just to satisfy that demand. And guess what, in ten 316 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 4: years we're going to find out there's even more demand 317 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 4: that occurred. And just to quantify that, seven million units 318 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 4: of housing is about two and a half three trillion 319 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 4: dollars of an economic opportunity. That's why our community has 320 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 4: got to get on real estate because you can get 321 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 4: your feet in. Not all of it's going to be 322 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 4: you know, thousand unit portfolios that are built in public 323 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,159 Speaker 4: private partnerships. A lot of it will be people who 324 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 4: choose to buy a plot of land in the city, 325 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 4: or take a vacant land that the city is rfping, 326 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,399 Speaker 4: and you know, build a three family or four family 327 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 4: home on it. 328 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 2: There's a lot of opportunity there. 329 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child 330 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from El Salvador 331 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with 332 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just 333 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President 334 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy Noman, the United States 335 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border 336 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over 337 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 1: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested.
