He talks about the challenges of the capital raising space, including interest rates and cap rates. He emphasizes the importance of underwriting for higher cap rates and staying ahead of the competition. Transparency is Important in Communication   [11:39 - 15:00] Investors Shift Focus to Classier Properties Their Company is keeping its cap rate at 2% or 3% annually, depending on the location and asset class. They are starting to look more seriously at A-class assets due to the compressed cap rates. The market for A-class assets is appealing to institutional investors and provides less risk than buying a house. Developers Look to Multifamily Properties as an Exit Strategy The interest rates for multifamily properties have decreased, which has made them more affordable for buyers. Multi-family properties are becoming more liquid, which makes it easier for buyers to find and exit these properties. Class A developers are looking for premiums in multifamily properties, so buyers must find a value that they can add to the spa [15:06 - 17:36] Closing Segment Reach out to Brian Links Below Final Words Tweetable Quotes   “I think, transparency is really important in communication and making sure we are updating our investors, whether things go wrong or whatnot .”  -  Brian Wagers ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Connect with Brian on  LinkedIn   Facebook  Instagram   or email him at Brian@elevatecig.com or visit their website: Elevatecig.com Connect with me:   Facebook   LinkedIn   Like, subscribe, and leave us a review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or whatever platform you listen on.  Thank you for tuning in!   Email me → sam@brickeninvestmentgroup.com Want to read the full show notes of the episode? Check it out below: [00:00:00] Brian Wagers: I think, transparency is really important in communication. Making sure we're updating our investors, whether things go wrong or what not just when things are going right. [00:00:09] Brian Wagers: If things are slower than expected to let them know what's happening in the market, there's a lot of people are worried about where the market is headed, is it, too hot interest rate changes. So just keeping them updated with educational material on that, I think is important. [00:00:23] Brian Wagers: Making sure you explain your underwriting, I think. Investors are getting more and more sophisticated.  [00:00:41] Sam Wilson: Brian Wagers is a multi-family investor. He grew his family's portfolio to 500 units before moving on to syndication where he is now involved. Been involved in over 150 million worth of apartment transactions. Brian, welcome to the show.  [00:00:54] Brian Wagers: Hey, thanks. Thanks Sam.  [00:00:56] Sam Wilson: Good to be on here. Hey man, pleasure's mine. [00:00:58] Sam Wilson: There's three questions. I ask every guest who comes in the show in 90 seconds or less. Can you tell me, where did you start? Where are you now? And how did you get.  [00:01:04] Brian Wagers: Yeah. So I got started in Northwest Arkansas. About six years ago bought a single family home quickly, diverted over to multi-family had a 12 unit scaled that into another 12 unit and a 20 unit combination of family money, seller financing. [00:01:20] Brian Wagers: Got my hands dirty with a medium sized, small multi-family projects, built up a portfolio of about 450 to 500 units with just me as a lead sponsor me as the only general partner with, friends and family. And just as of recently partnered up with elevate commercial investment group, where now I'm a general partner on, thousands of units. [00:01:43] Sam Wilson: That is really, really cool. I love that story of, building, building a portfolio of 500 units. I'm really curious, once you had figured it out and once you had made it to that 500 unit mark, which is a lot of units, by the way, if you're just a single general partner in 500 units, that's a lot of units, what was the impetus for, joining another team and being a general partner with other people when you can really own a hundred percent of your own deals right now,  [00:02:09] Brian Wagers: right? [00:02:09] Brian Wagers: Yeah. So it was always in the back of my mind. It was, I don't know that it was a aha moment. I think when I first got started in multi-family, the people that I was learning from, they were doing the syndications and they were doing the larger projects. But for me to get started, I really wanted to, have a track record proof. [00:02:25] Brian Wagers: I have somewhat of a proof of concept, My hands dirty and do you know all aspects of real estate. So I've always had multi-family syndications in the background of my head. That's always thinking about different things, but I knew I was gonna focus on multi-family. Just, I was open to doing it different ways, so, About two years ago, I was scaling my portfolio and I was starting to make offers on some of the same deals that I had seen before, they had come back full cycle. So I knew I was playing in a somewhat smaller space. so I knew. that thought of going bigger was going to have to come soon. [00:03:00] Brian Wagers: So I, I was really starting to plant some seeds with some other bigger time operators and looking at how I could provide value to them as I continued to grow. So yeah, I could keep, a hundred percent, and keep trying to do the smaller deals. But I think for me, it was one was the inventory there, where I was coming across. [00:03:19] Brian Wagers: Some of these deals, a couple times. So that was kind of, a good moment for me know, knowing that I had to expand. and it was okay giving up, a portion of that in, in order to really grow, it's who not how you get there. So I'm firm believer in that, partnering up with strategic people to get you to continue to grow. [00:03:38] Brian Wagers: And I didn't want, I'm always trying to be the best version of myself , in all aspects. So. It's okay. To relinquish some control in some areas. And, for me that was partnering up and giving up some of that  [00:03:50] Sam Wilson: partnership. [00:03:50] Sam Wilson: I like that idea there, Brian, that, Hey, I gotta get outta my own backyard. [00:03:53] Sam Wilson: I've gotta go somewhere where somebody else has local market knowledge that you don't have to then rebuild. You don't have to go get into a new market and say, all right, how do I figure out this market? You got somebody else that you that's experienced in it. I guess the question I would have if someone's already in a market and they've already got people on the ground, they're already running a very large operation. [00:04:12] Sam Wilson: What did you bring to the table? Or how did you position it, such that they would say to you, Brian, I'd love to have you be part of the team. What did that conversation look like? Not that you're not a great guy and you don't have great skills. Cause obviously you do cuz you've taken down 500 units on your. [00:04:25] Sam Wilson: But even, so it seems like they would already had all the seats on the bus taken care of.  [00:04:30] Brian Wagers: Yeah. So for me, that was positioning myself, to continue that track record. So it wasn't just, Hey, I'm gonna be a partner with your firm. Like, let's go, it was a deal, work with them on a kind of a JV. Case by case basis. [00:04:46] Brian Wagers: So it wasn't just, I was like, Hey, let me give me an opportunity to prove myself, that's all I wanted was an opportunity to, say I'm going to do what I say I'm going to do. So, that was raising on a couple deals. So we raised on three or four deals before we actually, agreed on a partnership. [00:05:05] Brian Wagers: And that was. Asking for me, I focus on the capital raising piece. So that was going to be my focus. So when I was reaching out, I was reaching out to other operators and seeing if, Hey, is that something that you could bring on? And for the operators that I'm looking at, I'm looking at high. I was looking at high growth operators. [00:05:23] Brian Wagers: So, the two main. Flows of multi-family real estate is, deals and equity. So that was. My main, pivot point was, Hey where can I bring value? And that was in the equity piece.  [00:05:36] Sam Wilson: Right? Right. No, that's that's really cool. What, and again, I'm sorry for digging in, maybe on this so much, but I think it's an important, stepping stones for people who are in this business looking to scale, looking to grow. [00:05:48] Sam Wilson: They want to go, okay. How have other people done? So focused on capital raise. Why not just cog? What would what was the impetus again? I'm just trying to figure out again, not that you're not a bad, not a good guy, but you know, for the other at elevate, was it elevate equity? [00:06:03] Sam Wilson: Was that, was it two elevate commercial  [00:06:04] Brian Wagers: investment group. Okay. Yeah. So, right, right. Like, so, and additionally to just COGP in there was,. Okay. What areas of their business did I find? Like bringing I'm just, when I'm just cog and I was just the capital, but right. Adding value outside of that, during these other deals. [00:06:22] Brian Wagers: So, jumping on calls, trying to add value as, as far as marketing goes or trying to, help coordinate with other cogs that we may have on the deal, take it saying, okay, I'm just gonna raise my, I'm gonna commit to a million. And I raise 1.2 million. That's great. That's a good track record, but going beyond staying super organized throughout the whole deal, maybe GI giving recaps of what everybody's doing. [00:06:47] Brian Wagers: Try to find little value, add pieces and each part of the deal. So going above and beyond, I think was a main part there. And starting to kind of ma I was starting to manage some of the other co razors before I was doing that kind of staying ahead of our next steps. Hey, what do we need to get something on the calendar? [00:07:06] Brian Wagers: Where are we at? So I think just over delivering on those on that piece,  [00:07:11] Sam Wilson: that's cool. No, I love that. That's absolutely awesome. Tell me, you know what, as you look at the portfolio, I guess, do you still own that 500 unit portfolio? Is that still yours?  [00:07:21] Brian Wagers: So it dwindled down to around like, 250 - 300 units. [00:07:25] Brian Wagers: we're selling. So I just, we just sold 102 units today. I sold 54 units earlier this year. we did sell. 82 units, but we bought 72 more at the end of last year. so, it's right around, 250, 300, but we're looking at selling a lot of that. A lot of my personal portfolio is  [00:07:46] Sam Wilson: that because it's just, I mean, the market is just red hot and you can just get top dollar for it. [00:07:51] Sam Wilson: Is that kind of your thinking there? Or was there other things that, that are driving those decisions?  [00:07:57] Brian Wagers: Yeah there's several different factors, but that being, one of the main reasons, the market is super hot, where, more and more people are looking at our market of Northwest Arkansas two, we've implemented a lot of the value add business plan. [00:08:10] Brian Wagers: Some of these deals we've only held for two years, three years, but you know, we've got it to about where we wanna be. And if we can get those offers that we expected to have in five years and two years, Might as well, especially with me focusing on, these larger deals, it just gives me more equity to put back alongside of the, on, on these larger deals. [00:08:32] Brian Wagers: So it's a huge plus having that, I built up quite a bit of equity in these smaller deals too, place in, in the larger deals  [00:08:40] Sam Wilson: yeah, that's a great point is that you can recycle that back into your own opportunities. And, develop more the limited partner side of things. As you invest in your own opportunities than you could maybe on the active investor side. [00:08:53] Sam Wilson: Yeah. Yeah.  [00:08:54] Brian Wagers: So I'm investing as an LP in all our deals too, as well as, helping on the GP portion.  [00:08:59] Sam Wilson: Right, right. Oh, that's cool. And that certainly gives your investors a vote of confidence as. As they,  [00:09:05] Brian Wagers: yeah, it's definitely an extra, there's a lot of reassurances in multifamily, but I think, being able to invest alongside of your investors is super important to them. [00:09:13] Brian Wagers: But I wasn't always able to do that. I had to that's, one of the reasons I had to do those small and medium sized deals was to. Really help one, get my track record and prove the concept like I mentioned before, but, get that equity two, be able to invest with them. [00:09:28] Brian Wagers: Yeah,  [00:09:28] Sam Wilson: no, I think that's awesome. What are some challenges that you see in the capital raising space right now?  [00:09:36] Brian Wagers: I think, transparency is really important in communication. Making sure we're updating our investors, whether things go wrong or what not just when things are going right. [00:09:45] Brian Wagers: If things are slower than expected to let them know what's happening in the market, there's a lot of people are worried about where the market is headed, is it, too hot interest rate changes. So just keeping them updated with educational material on that, I think is important. [00:10:00] Brian Wagers: Making sure you explain your underwriting, I think. Investors are getting more and more sophisticated. So, it's important to show them your underwriting, your assumptions, and make it clear on, what the risks are and what the potential are.  [00:10:14] Sam Wilson: Yeah, absolutely. What, and let's talk about that, if if we're standing on shaky ground or who everybody's been calling for a recession. [00:10:22] Sam Wilson: Lord, who knows how many years? Five, seven years. But I mean, even, so there are some things changing. We continue, especially in the multi-family market to see cap rates compress, and now we're seeing rates go up. What are you guys doing in this environment to remain competitive?  [00:10:36] Brian Wagers: Yeah. So underwriting more deals is a big thing. [00:10:39] Brian Wagers: Getting in front of more deals, bringing on more boots on the ground partners that can find us deals that are local. I are finding more and more important that, , people local in the market are sometimes getting first looks at deals. So sometimes we'll bring on partners who find deals and their local market have relationships with commercial brokers. [00:10:58] Brian Wagers: And as far as the cap rates, you want to make sure you're underwriting for higher cap rates. That's huge. And the interest rate changes now, refinance events in year three. We definitely wanna make sure we're not. Keeping the same interest rate or a lower interest rate at what we're coming in at. [00:11:15] Brian Wagers: So we're making sure that interest rate is going up at year three. And we're also accounting for a higher cap rate at sale in year five.  [00:11:23] Sam Wilson: Yeah, no, that's that's absolutely important. What do you think this is? This is pure, just subjective questioning. We've seen rent rates and I mean, I own some multifamily properties and we've just seen rents, just, I mean, just up into the right. [00:11:39] Sam Wilson: All of us have, what are you guys doing on your underwriting side for rent growth? If any [00:11:44] Brian Wagers: Yeah, we're keeping it around 2%. We try to keep it around 2% annually, 3%, depending on the location, depending on the asset class. That can vary from C class to A class. So, so we are looking more and more at a CLA the way with cap rates compressing, we have started to look more and more at the, a class opportunities. [00:12:03] Brian Wagers: Now five years ago, I would tell you I'll never buy an a class. I'm a value add, C class to B class property buyer, but the way the market is, we're starting to shift that outlook. As far as. With the way the cap rates are going, but, definitely. And if it's a deep value add, obviously we can increase those rents quite a bit more than just a 2%, 3%. [00:12:25] Brian Wagers: But once sta once, upon stabilization, we're looking around 2% rent growth.  [00:12:30] Sam Wilson: Gotcha. No, that's really interesting. You say you're moving into a class. Can you gimme some really Insight into why you're finding more value or even potentially less risk in an, a class asset.  [00:12:41] Brian Wagers: Yeah. So the, a class stuff that we're looking at one, if you think about a class in general, you kind of think less headaches, it's a more, appealing investment to more institutional, equity that we are getting more and more of, they see it as a more safe. [00:12:58] Brian Wagers: Whereas the way that the housing market is going, it's becoming harder and harder to buy a house. And so for young professionals to really fork up, to buy a $400,500,000 house, they may see it better to ride it out and live in a nice, a class community with good amenities for a while before they can move into a permanent home. [00:13:19] Brian Wagers: So, the factors, the way the single family market. Less maintenance on the front end, so we can, you can underwrite for that. And more of a safe, longer ride, for some of our people are wanting to hold closer to the five year. Five  [00:13:33] Sam Wilson: year terms. Got it. No, that makes a lot of sense. [00:13:36] Sam Wilson: Yeah. Offsetting some of that risk by buying newer, nicer assets. Maybe you don't have the maintenance, but also like you said, is that your institutional players tend to like that space. So if you guys are looking for an exit and in three to five years, your buyer pool probably exists at a much a much larger buyer pool on those types of assets. [00:13:54] Sam Wilson: Yeah,  [00:13:54] Brian Wagers: exactly. Right. So you're always looking at who, what your exit plan is and who you're going to ultimately sell it to. So now we have a lot more capital chasing, multi-family real estate, a lot of these people in Covid that we're buying office space and retail space are now looking at multifamily. [00:14:10] Brian Wagers: A lot of these people that have. Their money in the stocks and the money in, other vehicles are more and more looking at, the real estate market. So I think that also helped offset some of its interest rates. We're seeing it's becoming a more liquid space, because like you said, you have a lot more exit buyers for your properties,  [00:14:28] Sam Wilson: right? [00:14:29] Sam Wilson: No, that's really cool. How do you overcome? I would think though, as you move into the, a class space, That your return profile just, get gets diminished. I mean, is that a fair assumption? Yeah, it's definitely  [00:14:42] Brian Wagers: fair. The A class developers, builders, they are looking for premiums. [00:14:46] Brian Wagers: So you really have to find, it's like, if it's an, a class, you have to find the value that you can add. So, hopefully we are, when we're buying a class we're trying to buy from the developers. So they've got it to 90% lease up. And they're just getting it leased up however they can. [00:15:02] Brian Wagers: So they're offering concessions, they may be putting a little bit higher expenses in, they just wanna get that property leased up. So we're then able to get some of those expenses down a little bit. And start pushing the rents up to more market rents versus to the rents that they were just to get people in the door to where they can eventually exit. [00:15:20] Brian Wagers: So finding that value in that space is really important, cuz not every a class is an opportunity, but we definitely like to buy. From the developers from, for that reason,  [00:15:30] Sam Wilson: right? No, that's an interesting strategy. Not one I hear a lot about, but I think it has a lot of merit in that, like you said, you can improve their operations, decrease expenses, bring rents up to market. [00:15:42] Sam Wilson: And yet at the same time, you're not having the risk of being the developer, getting the project done. So it's kind of like a, it's a nice hybrid approach to development in its own. Exactly.  [00:15:51] Brian Wagers: You just have to be upfront with your investors, they just, and if they're buying into an opportunity like that, the cash flow is going to be low, especially on the front end. [00:16:00] Brian Wagers: Right. But that's what you get when you are buying those kind of opportunities. Right.  [00:16:04] Sam Wilson: Right. And as long as everybody understands the rules of the game, then that is what it is. So I think that's really cool. Brian, thank you for taking the time to jump on today and really tell us. [00:16:13] Sam Wilson: The the nuances of transitioning from owning 500, your own units to then just joining a team, it's kind of like that idea of McDonald's it's like, do you wanna own a hundred percent of your own deal or 1% of McDonald's? Well, I'll take 1% of McDonald's all day long. So I love the the idea for you, joining a bigger team and just owning the smaller piece of a bigger pie. [00:16:33] Sam Wilson: I think that's really cool and love just how you've. Brought value to that team and shared the way that you've done that in order to make this all work. So, thanks again, for sharing your insight today, do appreciate it. If our listeners wanna get in touch with you and learn more about you, what is the best way to do that?

Most new multifamily investors focus on deal flow. We know that capital flow is important, but we figure we can rely on friends and family to fund our first few deals. But eventually, the money runs out. So, if you want to scale a real estate business, you've got to grow your sphere of potential investors. And the easiest way to do that is through an online thought leadership platform. Brian Wagers raised capital for his first 361 units simply by talking to people one-on-one. And then he realized that to achieve scale, he needed to pay more attention to marketing. Brian is Founder of Wagers Capital, a real estate investing firm with $4.1M in multifamily assets. To date, Brian has built a portfolio of 447 units in his home state of Arkansas and another 125 in Texas. On this episode of Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing, Brian joins cohost Garrett Lynch and me to share the steps he took to get into multifamily and explain how live events helped him see the possibilities of growing a multimillion-dollar portfolio. Brian walks us through the steps he took to build an online thought leadership platform, describing how his social media presence and podcast appearances attract new investors to Wagers Capital. Listen in to understand how Brian leveraged my Platform Builders Workshop to build out his marketing systems and learn how to scale YOUR syndication business by focusing on deal flow and capital flow at the same time!
