The multifamily sector is facing major headwinds. Not only have interest rates escalated at an unprecedented pace, but operating costs have also soared as well. In certain states, insurance costs alone have increased 100% or even more in the last couple years. With costs rising dramatically and rents plateauing, or even decreasing in some cases, there's choppy waters that will not end well for many multifamily investors. Chris Grenzig, Owner of Jag Capital Partners, has built a vertically integrated portfolio of smaller properties in Jacksonville, Florida and is successfully navigating this turbulence in the market. Chris has not acquired a new deal in over a year because prices have not yet come down enough to reflect the realities of today's operating environment. 

Chris Grenzig is the founder of JAG Capital Partners, a vertically integrated multifamily investment firm based out of Jacksonville, FL.

Welcome back to Small Axe Community Podcasts! Today we are once again joined by Chris Grenzig.   Chris is a Founder of JAG Communities which is a vertically integrated Multifamily focused investment firm. Chris and His company believe that prioritizing the resident experience and making it as high quality as possible, will lead to an unbelievable experience for all their partners involved.     [00:00 - 07:44]Opening Segment Chris Grenzig from Jag communities is a friend of Nico's and they've been communicating for a couple of years. Chris started his roots in New York but has now moved to Jacksonville, Florida. Since he left Toro, Chris has been buying and renovating small deals. In November 2020, Chris bought his own deal and started a vertically integrated company focused on small to mid-size multifamily deals. Since then, Chris has bought four more existing deals for a total of 72 units. He also has a two-and-a-half-acre site    [07:44 - 16:10]New Multi-Family Project in Low-Density Town Gets Approved A conditional variance to build an apartment was ultimately denied. Their backup plan is to build 18 or 19 townhomes on a parcel of land for $20,000 per unit. The possibility of rezoning the property to create multiple types of housing, including apartments.   [16:10 - 27:50] Average Rent Increases Mean Deals in Jacksonville Are Becoming More Competitive Average rents were around $1,500 per month in 2016, but the property was purchased for $156 per square foot. The current plan is to add washer and dryer connections to every unit, stackable units in attic access, and increase electrical service. There is a problem with increasing electrical service because a custom meter bank must be ordered and the supplier would not give a price or timeline until the order was placed. The goal is to create assets that outperform the market, but not turn around and sell them right away.     [27:51 - 30:27] Closing Segment Final words Connect with Chris Grenzig. by following him on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram or you can email him at chris@jag-communities.com.

You might not know it from listening to the dedication and focus, but this week's guest Chris is actually a very young guy. Early on in his investment career, after leaving his full-time job and finally finding his footing, Chris realized the only way for him to truly measure his success was to (in his own words) "vertically integrate" to truly know every part of his business. This allowed him to find people that he truly values working with, and in return, creates an environment that they truly want to work in. You'll love hearing Chris Grenzig's philosophies on what makes someone a good boss and what he envisions in the next ten years.

Today, I'm speaking with Chris Grenzig. Chris began his real estate investing journey in 2016 by attempting to flip houses on Long Island NY, but ultimately failed to flip a single property despite spending tens of thousands of dollars and several months trying. Instead of giving up, he shifted his focus to multifamily real estate and started by investing passively in an 8-unit property, then joint venturing on another 100 units worth over $4.5M. Chris's experience landed him a job with Toro Real Estate Partners, which gave him an opportunity to learn from experienced investors. Over the course of 4 years, he became responsible for overseeing all of their Florida portfolio which consisted of 7 properties, totaling roughly 1,000 units worth $70M. In 2020, Chris's persistence in the real estate investing game finally paid off as he ventured out on his own and founded JAG Communities — a vertically integrated multifamily investment firm that specializes in creating an exceptional living experience for residents. In this conversation, Chris walks us through his journey, from failing to flip houses to quitting his job and making a way in multifamily real estate. You'll also hear us dissect his first two deals, including a 16 unit and 24 unit property, along with his 10 year plan for reaching $500 AUM!

We chat with Chris Grenzig, a real estate investor successful in the mult-family space, but it wasn't an easy process for him. In this podcast, he talks about his story, how he started in fix and flipping, and how he turned in the real estate investor that he is today.

Even the most attractive deals can lead to disaster. Investing success is about having the resilience to adapt to shifting circumstances. Today co-hosts Chris Grenzig and John Cohen break down two of their deals, sharing their top learnings along with how they adapted to overcome their challenges. For our first deal review, we dive into the most expensive per door deal that John has ever made. John unpacks how painful it became to manage this property and how they dealt with plummeting tenancy rates, a sky-rocketing interest rate, and even a murder on the property. By hearing John's solutions, listeners will have a better sense of the issues that are often overlooked in the due diligence process. After touching on more of John's main takeaways, we take a deep look into Chris's deal; one that he had only three weeks to close.

Finding your niche is important, but it takes experimentation, which means that getting better at time management is a must. Today on the show, Chris and John had a sudden guest cancellation and decided to use this as an opportunity to talk shop. We start with some contextual details about the work involved in managing Chris's duplex and what he is doing on the side. John and Chris talk about their various experiments in wholesaling and buying up land to use in different ways. Here they get into the pros and cons of these different strategies, and the value of hiring staff to handle the less enjoyable sides. This idea of outsourcing so that you can focus on the best use of your time acts as a segue into a great conversation about time management.

Chris started his real estate investing journey in Jan of 2016 by trying to flip houses on Long Island NY but failed to flip a single house despite spending tens of thousands of dollars and several months trying. Chris and his team tried pivoting to purchasing tax deed properties in Philadelphia, but quickly realized it wasn't for them. From there Chris started to learn about multifamily and started by investing passively in an 8-unit property, then Joint Venturing on another 100 units worth over $4.5 mil. From there Chris quit his full-time job in finance and joined Toro Real Estate Partners full time in Aug 2016. Toro has acquired roughly 4000 units worth around $285 mil and Chris runs their Florida operations totaling 1000 units worth $60 mil.

We had a pretty great dialogue about multiple ways to raise large amounts of capital from single sources along with the potential short comings and benefits of doing so. According to Chris, selling stocks as a cold caller is a much harder pitch than sharing opportunities with warm leads for Multifamily Syndications. tororep.com

GUEST BIO Chris Grenzig is an asset manager of Toro Real Estate Partners. Before he was involved in real estate, he took a job as a soccer coach after he earned his bachelor degree in business management. When he realized that he missed New York, he went back and after realizing that coaching was not the best fit for him anymore so he went on and took another job as a cold caller in a stock brokerage company. He quickly realized that being in the stock brokerage game didn't bring much fulfillment. He also quickly realized that the products he was selling - he wouldn't sell to a family member. Unlike the investments that he does in multifamily today. Join us today as he shares value with the community and describes his transition dating back to trying to flip homes back home to coaching soccer, to working on wall street to finally making it to fulfilling the position as the asset manager that he is today.

In this episode, Jonathan interviews Chris Grenzig to uncover his path to getting involved in Real Estate. Jonathan and Chris go way back and actually went to the same college together. Chris is an Asset Manager at Toro Real Estate Partners and was able to achieve that role through an incredible mentor. This episode unpacks what it means to bring value to others, marketing strategies to get deals, corona game plan and more. Top Takeaways: Bringing value to others: - Recognize a need for the person you are trying to bring value to and present that idea - Come up with an idea of how you can bring value versus bringing the burden onto the other person to think of an idea - Take stock of what you do well and keep a running list - Reach out to a company who is older and needs help getting more involved in technology - Ideas to bring value for older companies are: Posting to Instagram, creating a company website, help with graphics and video editing Corona game plan: - All in-person showings have stopped, maintenance requests are only for emergencies and leasing office is closed - Send a list of open jobs to tenants to apply to - Take advantage of the stimulus bill that most tenants will qualify for based on their income - Have a flexible payment plan in place - Rent renewals have halted - Cut all late fees - Create a resource package Resources: monday.com Social Links: - Come check out Chris’s podcast: The Real Estate Investing Experience - Company website: http://tororep.com - IG: @chris.grenzig

Click Here for EPIC timestamps and episode resources If you are about to enter the real estate business, you better be aware of some things: nothing in life comes easy, not even flipping houses. You better start looking for the perfect real estate model for you, just like our today’s guest: Chris Grenzig got started in the real estate game the day he entered a house flipping course and not far from that day he realized he could make a lot of money out of a single property. Tune this episode and see how Chris went from being the Assistant Men’s Soccer Coach to become the Asset Manager of an Investment Company with over 3,100 units and more than $195 million in assets acquired.  Chris Grenzig grew up in Long Island and moved to Brooklyn 2 years ago to get serious on the grind. After discovering the flipping model, Grenzig realized this was not the ideal real estate model for him. Later on, he found out about syndication and this suited his necessities in the perfect way. This guy knows there are only two ways to scale in real estate: whether you start making more deals, or you start making bigger deals. Finding the ideal real estate model may not be easy, but once you find something that was made for you, it all starts to make sense. According to Chris, all deals come from three sources: networking, marketing and negotiating. Without one of these, closing deals will be more difficult, that’s why Chris goes classic on doing phone calls as his primary strategy.  In this episode, we will learn how elemental phone calls are not only to talk about business, but to build strong relationships with clients; why Chris spends literally hours a week nurturing his relationships through the phone, the importance of managing properties and the not so sweet parts of real estate.

In this episode, Chris Grenzig shares how he started his real estate investing journey in Jan of 2016 by trying to flip houses on Long Island NY, but ultimately failed to flip a single house despite spending tens of thousands of dollars and several months trying.
