You might be wondering, “Do real estate investors need good sales skills” to succeed in this business? Personally, I believe that a good sales foundation helps most investors when it comes to negotiation. I also believe it's not a skill most of us aren't naturally good at. Let's face it; we are always negotiating with someone. Negotiation doesn't only happen when we are making offers. We negotiate with contractors, tenants, and/or property managers, and for other goods and services. I believe that sales skills are actually people skills. They involve the ability to hear and be heard. It would stand to reason that it's a good idea for real estate investors to have sales skills. My guest today is Matt Cavanaugh, and he is going to dive into sales skills, understanding human psychology around sales, and how this helps him run a large-scale wholesaling business. Matt is a visionary, strategist, a real estate investor, and he is the co-host of the Freedom Chaser's Podcast. He has a passion for helping people achieve freedom and live the lives they were meant to live. Matt is licensed and active as a retail realtor in 10 states selling hundreds of units per year. He is a partner in a large-scale wholesale operation currently operational in 10 markets.   Want my FREE "Probate Investor Starter Kit"?

If you hadn't caught Sam before, he was on episode 690, which is going to be actually pretty here recently. That was on October 20th, 2022. We covered some awesome stuff about his backstory, but today we're actually going to cover kind of part two of working with institutional partners and this is going to be what we focus on here today. So Sam, thanks again for coming back on the show. I certainly appreciate it. And again, as probably said before, love your first name, so welcome back. [00:00:55] Samuel Sells: Yeah, thanks, Sam. And by the way, we have the two best moms in the world who named us Sam. I mean, it's just, how can we... [00:01:07] Sam Wilson: No idea. But I certainly am grateful and I think we actually, you know, were of a similar age, I would imagine. Sam was not a popular name in, I guess, I was born in '81. There weren't many many of me around back then.  [00:01:21] Samuel Sells: No. Yeah, I was born in '79, so we're both 20, 25, you know?  [00:01:26] Sam Wilson: Right, right. 25 and hard, my friend. 25.  [00:01:32] Samuel Sells: Yeah.  [00:01:33] Sam Wilson: I'm looking forward to this conversation today, talking about working with institutional partners and or larger check writers, things along those lines. It's kind of that next level, I think, for most syndicators, most capital razors, most of us, myself included in this, have no idea how to do that. I raise money from all my friends, from colleagues, from family, from people you know, obviously, that listen to the show. I've never worked with institutional partners, so I get to ask you legitimate questions as to how it's done. How do you even start working with an institutional partner? [00:02:07] Samuel Sells: Yeah, great. Great question. Look, you know, I look at syndication and commercial real estate, and I really look at like five major levels of success, right? And, you know, we learn how to raise money. We learn how to operate, learn about loan, and then we learn how to put that together, raising money for our own deals. And then we go into, you know, the next level is to work with institutional partners. Now, there's levels after that. Institutional partners for syndication is like, Hey, X, Y, Z company. You know, are you interested in this deal? I need $20 million. And they're going to say, great. You have 10%. So do you have $2 million? Like, yep, I got 2 million cash. It's our own cash. Not great. We'll do you the other 18. We love this deal. We'll work it out, you do a joint venture agreement, you sign, they deliver $18 million, then you do your $2 million. Now that institution is funded through a fund. They're either insurance company or they're like, select life insurance or car insurance or health insurance. They have these massive amounts of money. They got to do something with pension funds, that's your teacher. Your money's going into a pension fund. Pension funds invest in real estate a lot because real estate is so much better than stocks, and they need to have a reliable source of income, not put all of our money on red, spin the dial, and hope it works out. So that's why they come to real estate operators. Now, these big funds, they don't want to do the work.  [00:03:38] Sam Wilson: Right, right.  [00:03:40] Samuel Sells: They want somebody else to do the work and so they need a commercial real estate operator to do the work. Now, that is somebody who's going to be responsible for the asset management, responsible for the property management. They may not necessarily have to have PM in-house, but they need to have a great working relationship with one. It actually helps if you have PM in-house with a lot of institutions. Some institutions say no, we want one and it's always going to be a third party because it's easier to fire them, hire somebody else. It just depends on the institution. But these institutions have large amounts of cash. So if you're a syndicator or even an operator, you want to go to the next level where you're, you want to buy a hundred million dollar deal and you need a $30 million check. It's easiest to go to an institution and get that for one person now. The institution has requirements and things that you've got to be able to do. And so if you've never done this yourself, the best thing to do is to hire a mentor. I started helping people make that transition into working with institutions 'cause we've been down that road. So all of a sudden we went from raising money from our friends and everybody else to doing institutions. Sorry, that's a lot of words.  [00:04:48] Sam Wilson: No, that's absolutely, absolutely great. I'm really curious. One, how do you find the institutions and then, and you alluded to this where you talked about the criteria for the sponsor. I mean, again, you know, what are those things that you're going to have to the personal development side of things as a sponsor that you have to be in order for an institution to even look at? I mean, I feel like many people, especially as they're kind of getting their feet under 'em, getting traction, they're not going to have the boxes checked off. Institional partners are going to say, yeah I want to work with you. [00:05:21] Samuel Sells: Right? So you need to go down that path, right? And you may never want to work with the institution. You may only want to work with retail capital just because of how things are set up and how the cash flow works. When you close an institution, it's a cash negative event, okay? So you're going to get an acquisition fee, but you're looking at like a 1% or 1.5% percent acquisition fee unless you can talk to your institutional partners in a more, you need 10% of the capital minimum. 10% to 20% is normal. So like I said, you know, you need $10 million check. You need a million dollars of your own cash. Can't be any other investor's cash, has to be your own cash now. So the pros, what they do is they set up a new company, they've put in a couple of partners that bring cash to the table, and then that company links with the institutions and do that. And that's a pro tip through that management company that's set up with a partnership, et cetera. So that's kind of how you can get around that a little bit, as long as institutions are cool with that. There's definitely systems and set criteria that you need to make and reach, and it's really not as unattainable as you might think. If you're in the military, you're, you're familiar with MEPs. It's kind of like going through MEPs. You're sitting around waiting, and then you get every board of your body checked. They're going to go do an incredible amount of due diligence. They're going to listen to your podcast and our partners like, Sam, I heard you on this one podcast and you said this.  [00:06:47] Sam Wilson: Tell me more about that.  [00:06:48] Samuel Sells: It's like, oh, okay. They want to know who you are inside now because they know they're partnering with you and the deal may be a 10-year hold, right, a 20-year hold. So they really want to know who you are.  [00:06:59] Sam Wilson: Yeah. So vetting the sponsor is, or, yeah, vetting you as the sponsor. Obviously, they're going to do a deep dive on you, which is, which I think is the one thing that I tell everybody who's a passive investor anyway. It's like you're vetting your sponsor. I mean, that's 80% of the work.  [00:07:15] Samuel Sells: So that's 80, yeah, that's it. Like, real estate's, the real estate and the market's going to determine a lot of it. And you know, if your sponsor isn't responsive and, you know, changing out PM companies or leading the property management company to do a better job or, you know, reading the tea leaves and doing this or that, or they were dumb and paid away too much for the property going in because fear of missing out or whatever. You know, and they have a high basis then you're in trouble. It's all about that base.  [00:07:48] Sam Wilson: Absolutely. How do you find, I know you brought somebody on your team to kind of, you know, bridge that gap initially, but how would you recommend somebody find institutional sponsors slash larger check writers such as, you know what we're talking about here.  [00:08:05] Samuel Sells: Yeah. So two ways. One, easy, just reach out to me and if you're already operating, you've got a bunch of exits, and you've got a ton of assets in management, and I'll just connect you with, we'll just get you connected with equity and help you close your deal. And we can do that on a fee basis. It's quite like we would deal with any other person, but as equity broker and using those relationships. If you've never done that and you've only got, let's say 20 million of assets or 5 million of assets, you're like, Sam, help me get on a trajectory, so that one day I can make one phone call and connect a 20 million check because I don't want to go do the tap dance. And raise money all day long.  [00:06:49] Sam Wilson: Right. There is that. I think that's one of the greatest attractions to having an institutional partner is that, man, it's one call, one check. This is a lot simpler than I say, raising capital, which I love talking to investors. I love raising money. But it is herding cats.  [00:09:06] Samuel Sells: I mean, it is herding cats and, can't please everybody all the time. And somebody will be like, hey, yeah, you're two days late and I'm, like, life.   [00:09:16] Sam Wilson: I hate to say it, that I'm guilty of it, too, as a limited partner in other deals 'cause there's no, as a passive investor, there's not the pressure that you feel, you can't convey that pressure to a limited partner. It's like, hey. For me it's like, man, I'm busy. I got deals I'm working on. Yes, I'm going to invest 50 a grand or a hundred grand in your deal, but I got to take care of this first before I get to the bank and wire and crud, I'm two days, like you said, I'm two days late. Their problem is not necessarily mine, and that's not a good attitude to have for a guy that's raising capital, but it's just reality.  [00:09:45] Samuel Sells: It's just reality, you know? We're, we're still humans. We still got lives to sort of kids and, and family or, you know, we still have things to do. Right?  [00:09:54] Sam Wilson: No, we can put guys like me out of our life. Okay. This is a single check. Tell me about, I mean, that's some of the attractive parts. What are some downsides maybe to working with larger institutions?  [00:10:10] Samuel Sells: So with that one check, there's a big stick, right? And in the joint venture institutions always want the right, and they should because they need to respond to their investors that if you are screwing up the deal, then they can fire you and then your equity in the deal and your growth will get locked in at that point. And so you'll still be an owner, but you're essentially moving from the sponsor role to an LP role. So you'll still make money off the deal. But for example, on the project we have with an institutional partner, we put in about 500,000 of our own cash. We'll make about $7 million over the course of 10 years coming out now. I think we'll make a lot more than that because we're year, you know, we're over a year ahead of our projections for value and revenues and occupancy. Everything else, we're just killing it. And our partners are super happy with us, even in a bad market, like it's getting out there, we're still doing fantastic, but our base is really low. We bought well and our partners and us get along really well. And so it's that relationship becomes extremely key. And so if they want to meet twice a week, you're going to meet twice a week, but, they're professionals and they got all these guys hired from Harvard and Yale and Stanford and you know, Cornell or whatever. And these guys have studied and a lot of times they're very, very book smart about all this stuff, but they've never done on-the-ground work. And so you do have to do a little bit of education like, hey, I know, you know, we need to do this, but you know, with sewer breaks under the ground, it costs $8,000 to repair. I can't do anything about that other than get it done as quickly as possible.  [00:11:51] Sam Wilson: Right, right. Yeah, absolutely. When should someone in their capital raising, syndicating investing journey, when should they begin starting to think about, okay, now it's time to start looking for institutional partners? [00:12:06] Samuel Sells: So you could start from the beginning of your career as an operator. So I look at, like, when you begin, you should really probably start on the capital raising side because properties become so expensive. And that way you can get it to much bigger deals. So you go from being a capital raiser, learning how to build that foundation to operating your own properties. Now that you've worked with other operators who have done it really well or bad, and you've learned from them, and now you've become an operator. And once you become an operator, I I am, you know, retired Air Force guy. I always taught my troops like trajectory matters. What do you want to be in your life? If you want to be a chief, fantastic. Let's set a trajectory for you to make Chief. If you want to become an officer and you know, whatever, then let's get you on a trajectory to do to that. And so as an operator, start at the beginning and say, you know, someday I want to, I just want to work with single check writers, and I want to own a billion dollars worth of assets and I want to buy those over the course of five years. Great. You can do that without building a massive capital-raising machine to go that way. It's a different path, right? Or you want to do both, which is what we do now. We raise private money and we do, you know, institutional cash, and those, we reserve different deals for different groups based off what we know their requirements are and what they're looking for. [00:13:28] Sam Wilson: Do you, on those different deals for different groups and those, kind of a left turn in the conversation, but is that the only criteria? Is that, you know, that some groups are looking for this and some groups are looking for that? Or is there more that goes into deciding who you shop these deals out to? [00:13:45] Samuel Sells: Yeah. It's also capability, like our own capability to raise money. Like, if we know we can only raise $5 million because our network is relatively small, then we will do deals with, you know, our private citizens that are up to $5 million of cap raise, right? But I know if I'm going to the institution, 5 million is the smallest, right? And institution's going to come too, they want bigger checks because, think about it, they have a billion dollars on their hands and they've got to place. And they want good deals, and so they're calling and us or asking for deals all the time. They were like, I've only got the small deal because this is the only one I could find I could pencil. [00:14:25] Sam Wilson: Right. Right. Yeah. They don't, I guess, what is that, if they have a billion to spend 5 million at a time, that's what? 200 deals. That's a lot of deals, right? Who wants to be involved in 200 deals, 5 million at a time? That's a lot.  [00:14:40] Samuel Sells: I don't. Yeah, as an operator, you're like, you're out of your mind, you know? [00:14:46] Sam Wilson: That's for sure. That's for sure. What is, and I guess that's the next question, is that when it gets to those bigger, bigger deals, you know, 50, a hundred million dollar deals, it gets very competitive because there's a lot of big institutional capital chasing those deals. Are you even finding ways to underwrite and make those pencil today? [00:15:06] Samuel Sells: We have it. So we found really around $30 million, between $15 and $30 million is where we've been able to get things to pencil more often than outside of that. One, because the competition is less. And two, because we're small enough that we still want to make money. We're not in it just to close deals. And you'll meet plenty of institutions that are like, our cash needs to go somewhere because 4% return, 6% return is better than zero and negative. And they will not put the stock market 'cause that's just dumb. And so I say that because ultra wealthiness down. Regular citizens, it's like, it's the thing to do because that's what everyone tells you to do because the institutions make the most money when you do that, and then they invest your money into real estate by the way. That's how that cycle works. Anyhow, so they're willing to pick up a hundred million dollar deal with not very much meat on the bone, and they'll call it a value add deal because you can increase the rents by $10. [00:16:11] Sam Wilson: Right.  [00:16:11] Samuel Sells: So just buy it, they'll jack up rents, don't add any value, and make a little bit extra return. If the market goes sour, they're still better off because they're going to hold up for 30 years, who cares? [00:16:22] Sam Wilson: Right. Yeah. And so that's, I guess, the answer to the question, which is, you know, are you finding those larger deals? And you answered it when you said 15 to 30 million is kind of where you guys are finding, which is still, I mean, if you're getting 20 or 30% leverage on that, you're still raising, you know, 9 to 12 million bucks a deal depending on what your CapEx plan is. I mean, is that a range when you start getting over into double digits? Is that when you can start talking to institutions or is there, is it need to be bigger than that?  [00:16:47] Samuel Sells: Yeah, so 10 million, you'll find a lot of institutions that'll do $10 million checks. You'll need a million dollars of your own capital or form a, you know, management company with them once you get cash in the bank ready to get deployed, and then find a really good deal. And you know, we can help do that. There's others that know how to do this. There's not a lot, particularly in a syndication space, given presentations to others on this is how you do this and people have no idea, right? So when you syndicate, you put your 50k in and you're really on the GP side, you got five sponsors. By the time it all whittles down, yeah, you're going to make some money on the deal. It's just you're not going to be that much and you're really doing it for experience. And so you can keep doing it. And maybe you're doing it for the acquisition fee. It's the opposite way around. When you deal with the institution, you're going to make a ton of money doing, you know, what you really want to do, but it's going to be a negative cash transaction at the beginning. So you're not going to make money on the clothes, you're going to make money on the hold.  [00:17:48] Sam Wilson: Right, right, not that any of us should be doing any deals to make money on the close, I mean, certainly I think that's icing on the cake and for us, it covers expenses. It puts a little bit in our pocket maybe, but it's something where, you know, buying for the cash flow should be what we're doing anyway. [00:18:03] Samuel Sells: Yeah, sure. But you're right. Look, you know, every deal we do, we'll have hundreds of thousands of dollars by the time we close a deal just in due diligence, earnest money at risk. My staff doing all the work, so I don't feel bad at all about our, you know, acquisitions fees because that pays real people real dollars. And so when we do institutional deals, I have to have that money and we just eat it until we get paid, you know, down the road. And so you have to be in that ready position. The interesting thing too, your attention to detail on these large deals is, with them, is higher because they expect more, and they can't expect more, and they're going to hold you accountable to it. And so you just need to be ready to perform. And if you're ready to perform like we have been and at the end, it's worked out really, really well. But if you're thinking you're just going to turn it over to a property management firm and wait for your updates, you can sit out to your investors and hope all goes well... [00:19:00] Sam Wilson: This is not for you. [00:19:01] Sam Wilson: It's not for you,  [00:19:03] Samuel Sells: right.  [00:19:04] Sam Wilson: What has it done for your business? Like, how has this changed or trajectory of your company in bringing on institutional partners and what should someone else expect if they really follow the plan you've set forth?  [00:19:17] Samuel Sells: It's changed everything so it put us on a different trajectory that I didn't know existed for the longest time. It put us on a trajectory to, you know, obtain a billion dollars worth of real estate and for us, value add real estate. It's heavy lift. We need really good, strong partners and we, so we do try and want deals to go out to retail investors, friends, family people that we know, people that we get to know, but we also want to have the capability of doing very large operations because the economies at scale are just so much better. You could hire more staff, you can hire the best you could, you know, so on and so forth. So it's it just puts you on a different trajectory. Doing both answers the question of I need cash flow upfront to fund my team to do the work they need to do, and we want to, you know, make a huge difference. And so by doing both, we can do both. Ultimately though, you know, you want to become one of those funds that's, you know, the next level is where you hire, as an institution, you hire as operators and you get to sit back and your asset managers do the work and you just come to work and sign stuff and then go back to the ED. [00:20:33] Sam Wilson: I love it. I love it. Sam, this has been incredibly insightful. Thank you for taking the time to break down how you guys have found opportunity and how you guys have worked with institutional partners to give us some really practical advice and just some how to on this. I certainly have learned a lot today 'cause again, this is something I know absolutely nothing about. So thank you for taking the time to educate me and also our listeners. I certainly appreciate it here, the second time having you on the show. If our listeners do want to get in touch with you, learn more about you, what is the best way to do that?  [00:21:02] Samuel Sells: Yeah, reach out to me via email, sam@wildmountaincapital.com. You can go to our website at wildmountaincapital.com. By the time this is broadcast, you could probably go to syndicationlaunch.com, which is our new learning platform. It is, In the early stages. So if it's ugly, yell at me saying, this is ugly or it needs this, I'm happy to fix it. We are working on that because we really have learned that not very many people know how to do these other aspects, and we're happy to help and teach because partnerships make everything better. [00:21:36] Sam Wilson: Yeah. That's awesome, Sam, thank you again. Certainly appreciate it. You have a great rest of your day.  [00:21:40] Samuel Sells: Thank you, Sam. Always a pleasure.
