Bell2Bell's latest podcast features Steven Dresner, CEO of Walk-in Dermatology, a modern, patient-focused dermatology practice. During the interview, Dresner discussed Walk-in Dermatology's mission and vision. “Walk-in Dermatology is really a cross between traditional dermatology and urgent care. The concept is very straightforward. In dermatology and other areas of medicine, patients tend to wait too long to be seen by a medical provider. We are focused on providing high-quality, same-day care. The services we perform are the exact same as you would find in a more traditional dermatology practice, but we are making those services more accessible to people who want a same-day appointment or just want to walk in… If you wake up with a rash or acne or some other issue and your dermatologist can't see you for two months, that's not going to help you very much. That's the market that we serve.” Join IBN's Carmel Fisher and Steven Dresner, CEO of Walk-in Dermatology, as they discuss how Walk-in Dermatology's economics compare to traditional practices, including metrics like patient acquisition cost and visit frequency.

Laura Forti"La figlia inutile"Guanda Editorewww.guanda.it«In fondo è questo la memoria: incarnare lo scomparso, entrare nelle sue scarpe e muovere le dita dei suoi piedi stranieri, sentire al suo posto attivando i sensi. Solo così il ricordo si scongela e rivela i suoi tesori, come una gemma che nasce nel ghiaccio e lo rompe in primavera quando fiorisce e il sole consente alla vita di riprendere.»Un'urna riposa solitaria in una tomba vuota, nella zona del cimitero ebraico destinata ai suicidi e ai casi ambigui. Elena avrebbe desiderato che le sue ceneri fossero sparse nella Mosella, il fiume che amava. Ma la famiglia non ha rispettato la sua volontà e la nipote, a distanza di anni, capisce che in quel mistero c'è un nodo da sciogliere, un conto in sospeso con la memoria.Nata in una famiglia di esuli russi che l'avevano lasciata a balia in Francia nei primi anni di vita, Elena era cresciuta ribelle e anticonformista, dispotica e generosa, amante dei gatti e delle tradizioni. Per ricomporre le tante facce della sua identità, la nipote deve ripercorrere il cammino dei Dresner, le tappe di una integrazione di successo in Italia: le amicizie con il sionismo nascente dei Rosselli e dei Sereni ma poi perfino con Mussolini, la scalata del Credito Italiano. Quando nel 1938, con le leggi razziali, i Dresner sono costretti di nuovo all'esilio, Elena, l'elemento emotivo, sensuale e vitale, dannoso per una famiglia che considera i sentimenti un lusso inutile, viene di nuovo abbandonata, proprio nel momento in cui il fascismo sta mostrando il suo volto più feroce.La scrittura riempie la tomba vuota, restituisce fisicità e verosimiglianza a un fantasma, narrando una storia che attraversa l'Europa del Novecento ma è tutta italiana.Laura Forti, scrittrice e drammaturga, è una delle autrici italiane più rappresentate all'estero. Insegna scrittura teatrale e autobiografica e collabora come giornalista con radio e riviste nazionali e internazionali. In ambito editoriale, ha tradotto per Einaudi I cannibali e Mein Kampf di George Tabori. Con La Giuntina ha pubblicato L'acrobata e Forse mio padre, romanzo vincitore del Premio Mondello Opera Italiana, Super Mondello e Mondello Giovani 2021.

Demystifying the role of an actor and agent or a business owner. You approaches to Life coaching and has it developed through the years do you feel? Or has the need of it developed do you feel? 3 things the industry could do with and without 3 things you wish somebody would have told you starting out that you would like to impart on talent in the industry. One thing you would like for people to take with them after experiencing you. Thoughts on Authenticity vs representation of a role vs story and should specifity be reflect beind the scenes. i.e A story about a Trans Italian Activist- Should the role be played by someone of that community and should the crew represent aspects of that?

As we reflect on 2022 and enter 2023, the word that has been coming in my head a lot is Success- my relationship with it, where I stand on the highs and lows of it and what I will do with it in the next chapter (especially since in the last year feeling a bit down and like a failure almost). This Wisdomist Chai clip comes from my conversation with Acting and Life Coach Daniel Dresner. It touches on the word "success" from a creative perspective. How it's not an Oscar, or a job but much more precious and individual. p.s I also feel, that if you really break the messaging down you can transfer it to any aspect of your life. I hope you enjoy this one, Happy 2022 and see you in 2023.

Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to working capital the real estate podcast. My name's Jesse for galley and with me today are Ryan Webster and Warren Dresner. They are co-founders of equity yield group equity yield group is a real estate investment firm specializing in institutional grade a and B class multi-family assets in great markets, sourced, qualified and managed by their experience team, guys. How's it going? Warren (45s): Great. How are you Jesse? Jesse (47s): I'm doing fantastic. We've got a bright and sunny day in Toronto. So the snow's gone and hopefully this continues for listeners you're joining us. I think we talked just before the show Miami and it was Iowa Right on. So for listeners that don't have a bit of a background of what you guys do. Maybe we could kind of take it back to the beginning. You know, we want to talk about how you founded this company and get into some of the great deals that you've you've done so far. But before we do that, maybe you could just provide a little bit of a background about individually, how you got started in real estate, if the path was traditional or if it was not. And then eventually how you guys kind of teamed up to create a degree at this company. Ryan (1m 33s): Yeah, no, absolutely say I've been in real estate a long time, a real estate professional and an entrepreneur prior to founding equity yield group. I own an operator construction and development company for transitioning into a multi-family acquisitions and working with equity yield group and more in near. Warren (1m 54s): So I think my perf is probably traditional but different to Ryan's. So I'm from Australia originally been investing in real estate since 2010, largely single family homes. When I moved to the U S 2019, I discovered multi-family and started investing in multi-family as a passive investor, invested in a number of syndications, got to know the industry that way, and then decided I wanted to get more active in this space. And that's when I met Ryan and we'd formed equity yield group, and we started acquiring large multi-family units and, and operating them ourselves. Jesse (2m 34s): So when, when did you start requiring units? What year was that? Warren (2m 39s): Equity? Your group? 20. 20. Jesse (2m 41s): Okay. So fairly recently. Warren (2m 44s): Yeah. Jesse (2m 44s): So in terms of the, the kind of foray into real estate, did you have a investing career? I know, you know, Ryan, you just mentioned a little bit of the background there, but was it, you know, where are you familiar with investments years before? Or was this something that, you know, you teaming together was really the, this started of kind of an investment career, like the deals you're talking about syndications and multi-family deals. Ryan (3m 9s): Yeah, I won't speak for Warren, but as far as a real estate investment, you know, something that I was familiar with and it was, it was working in just in a different capacity and different business model and the, you know, build and sell as opposed to buy and hold. Warren (3m 24s): I didn't mention it before, but my background's in finance and insurance. So I was comfortable with complex financial structures and investments, not only on my own account and single family homes, but just through a corporate career. Ryan with that construction background as well, was quite familiar with debt structures and complicated capital stacks that go with construction. So together we, I feel like we had a lot of combined knowledge that really helped. So it made it a lot easier to start looking at our own properties. Jesse (3m 56s): So when you did start looking at your own properties, what was the impetus for multifamily, you know, the array of different residential and commercial real estate classes? What was it about multi-family Ryan (4m 8s): For me, it was really kind of stability and, you know, a real low risk profile and great risks, gesture returns having been on the other side of that risk profile on the development side, where you have, you know, high levels of, of execution risk, as well as market volatility, risk, and, and hoping that you're gonna hit the timing, your project and the interest isn't going to eat through your profits. You know, the advantage that came with buying stabilized cash flowing assets, and it really provides peace of mind for me and for our investors being able to deliver solid risk adjusted returns Jesse (4m 47s): In terms of the actual structure that you use. I know from the outset, the sorry, definition of equity yield group, or kind of what you guys do specializing in an institutional grade, how do you define institutional grade, you know, as opposed to family offices or high net worth individuals, what does that definition for, for your team? Ryan (5m 8s): Yeah, so we buy, you know, late model product. We really prefer, you know, nineties to mid two thousands, but nothing older than the 1985. And, you know, we look for greater than a hundred units, really nothing less than $20 million, but preferably in this, you know, 50 to a hundred million dollar transaction range, but more than that is really the location in the market. We're shopping and in very strong markets with, with great fundamentals that are going to support a strong business plan Jesse (5m 41s): And Warren, anything, you know, from your, from your vantage point to add on to that. Warren (5m 47s): No. So, so Ryan summarize it pretty well. I mean, we use this word institutional quality. We really mean better quality assets. We can get into it in a moment, I guess, but whenever we're buying one of these properties, we need to finance it somehow through debt and equity syndicators, we traditionally raise equity from high net worth individuals. Something we also focused our efforts on is raising the money from institutions and institutions are great because they can write a really big check. And it seems like an easiest solution, but they're tricky because they've got their own appetite and these institutions they're very sophisticated companies. They like to look in the stronger markets, the larger markets, and they prefer the newer assets as well. So we described to what our criteria is that we like to buy later model product in these strong markets in the Southeast, but actually that's exactly what the appetite is of these institutions as well. So I guess that word can apply to both our strategy, but also some of the sources of equity that we're using to buy these products Jesse (6m 52s): And Warren, what was it, your finance background that assisted or helped in terms of the actual financing side? Warren (7m 1s): I think it's both of us actually. I think Ryan was very familiar with, with complicated debt structures and how we use brokers as well. A mortgage broker who's really useful. I can access both debt and equity. So I think, I think honestly it's both of our backgrounds that made it familiar to us Jesse (7m 18s): Now for the average listener. I mean, we have everything that spans from people that have a few units to thousands of units. The team here is obviously I think from the communication we've had, it's been currently invested in over 2000 units for those on the, you know, the smaller size, you know, how does that happen? You know, you kind of alluded it to alluded to it here where you're talking about people writing large checks, but you know, for the average investor, that's trying to take a syndication business and grow it. You don't just start at 2000. So what was that evolution like when you know, what, what would be your suggestion or advice to, to grow to that size if that's the goal of the, of the investor? Ryan (7m 57s): Yeah, I mean, it's really, it's a business and you gotta start there. You've got to start with, with a plan and a fundamental understanding of, you know, how the business runs when you're dealing with a larger scale properties and then how you want your business internally to run. And, you know, Warren and I set out with a, with a focus of not only providing quality investments and investing in quality properties and projects, but about providing a quality customer experience. So we're real big on consistent and transparent communication with our investors being accessible to our investors. So not only do they know what to expect with the level of investments that we provide them, but with working with us Jesse (8m 44s): In terms of the deal you recently did. So I believe it's a $26 million acquisition. And that was like, we've been talking about you utilizing institutional capital. Can you tell us a little about that deal? Just, you know, the deal specifics, how it came together, you know, whether that, you know, from the actual negotiations to the financing, what did that look Warren (9m 4s): Like? Should I jump in? Ryan (9m 5s): Yeah, you can go ahead and talk about that. Warren (9m 7s): Oh, that one is in Sarasota, Florida, which is a market just south of Tampa. The market fundamentals were amazing. So we actually had purchased that one. We closed early 20, 21 on that one. It all starts with the market. We loved the market. There was so much growth in Florida, so much growth around Tampa, so much growth in Sarasota specifically. So the market was outstanding. That particular asset is 148 units. It was built in 2016. So it's actually a really new product. What was unique about it was, although it was only five years old, the interiors looked a lot older. I guess the developers didn't spend a lot of money on it. There was a real opportunity to clean up the kitchens and, and do a light to moderate rehab and value add project. So we loved it because it was newer, which meant that was a cleaner asset, but there was a real value add upside for us, for the investors. And so that one was $26 million. We ended up, I think about six or $7 million came from an institution. And then we raised around four and a half million ourselves from high net worth individuals. Jesse (10m 18s): So are you raising the capital on a fun level where it is committed capital or you raising it during, you know, the, the very stressful, potentially stressful conditional periods of the deal? How D how do you structure that, that chicken and egg? We talk about quite a bit on the show Warren (10m 35s): Up until now. We've been doing it asset by asset. So in that stressful four week period, we've talked about creating a fund and that's something that's potentially on the agenda for this year. Jesse (10m 45s): And what's your strategy when it comes to communicating with investors, let's maybe break that up between pre deal when you're actually in the fundraising mode. And then when you were actually with investors in a deal, and, you know, you're going through your process, whether that is value add, or in this case, sounds like it was pretty much a cut and dry. He didn't, it wasn't like you were doing a massive build-out. So those two types of communication, pre deal and ongoing what's, what's your philosophy on that? Warren (11m 15s): You go ahead, Ryan. Ryan (11m 17s): Yeah. Again, it's really centered around, you know, transparency. And from an operation standpoint, we, we tend to be very in tune with, with the details of, of not only the business plan, but the day-to-day operations executions. I plan. So when we're raising capital, you know, it's about putting together a presentation that, that gives investors, all the details about what we like about the project itself, the, the market, you know, why we think it's going to do well and how we're going to take it from a, to B without taking up hours and hours of their time. And then post-closing, it's really about consistency. We send out monthly updates on the 15th of every month to our investors, that kind of track our KPIs from our initial business plan against the performance of the asset, as well as sending out the entire financial reporting package. If investors want to dig in, you know, very granularly, it it's all there and available to them. Jesse (12m 16s): So when it comes down to the reporting, I mean, some investors there they're large enough where the accounting standards start to matter quite a bit, audited financial statements. You mentioned institutional investors, are you at that level of granularity or is this, you know, unaudited P and L's and balance sheet of what's going on with the project? Ryan (12m 36s): Now, our financials are pretty detailed and very clean, and actually got, got a great compliment from our CPA and tax accountant this year. She said, it was know, these are the cleanest financials that ever reviewed this beer. And, you know, I love working with you guys because of that. And it helps not only with the institutional equity, but with the lenders as well. And even operationally, if you don't have clean books and you, you can't, you know, take a look at a profit and loss statement and understand what goes into it, it makes it very difficult to run the business. Jesse (13m 7s): So I'm going to ask a seemingly granular question, but I, I, I'm just curious because we're all in the same business, and I'm curious how you deal with this, but before I do, I just have a question on the key key fundamentals are key metrics that you look at pre deal, whether that's internal rate of return equity, multiple, what do you find is the one that you have the most success communicating to investors, or you find that they request or moves? You know, they're asking, I want to see this specific metric. Is there one that is head and shoulders above another? Or is it more, you have a bunch of different tools at your disposal? Ryan (13m 46s): I mean, as far as return metrics, it's a return profile on different investors are looking for different things. So, you know, we, we provide cash on cash return equity, multiple IRR and average annualized return. So depending on which particular metric, the individual investor is attuned to, you know, we have it available for all of them. But as a general statement, you know, we are looking for some sort of current cashflow in all of our, our projects. So we can have that, that drip along the way of cashflow out, along with the appreciation. Jesse (14m 21s): And when you are structuring these, these deals, it's a little different than the last guest we have we had on because there were more in the value add world. So you actually have these things spinning off capital in the first, you know, the first couple of years, it sounds like in that, in that strategy, are you still using a traditional preferred return and split of, of anything above that? Do you guys use a different, a different strategy or structure? What do you find that you've had success with? Ryan (14m 49s): Yeah, we typically provide an 8% preferred return to really provide that, that alignment of interests with, with our LP investors. And then, then we typically go to a 70, 30 split, and then depending on the project, we may have a series of waterfalls after that at IRR hurdles. Jesse (15m 8s): Okay. And for the granular question, I'm curious, because one of our investors that actually asked about this the, the other day, and it's the, the communication that comes with fees, but not just fees, but actually the return metrics in your first year. And you guys are aware that, you know, there's a bit of a J curve when it comes to the return metrics, because the investors put down a hundred thousand, two 50, a million, whatever their LP investment is. But that first year comes with quite a bit of fees associated with it. So the return in year two and three will look different than your one. Is that a conversation that, that you have, or a communication that you have investors ask about after that first year, I have found that, you know, they're somewhat underwhelmed in the first year of operation until you, you communicate that piece of the, of the puzzle for them. And I find now it's in my, you know, upfront communication right away to talk about how these fees are gonna impact your one, you know, and any thoughts on that? Ryan (16m 6s): Yeah. We've never had that question. And I think partly because, you know, a lot of our investors are sophisticated and understand how these larger projects run. And the second piece is, you know, in our investor deck and presentation, we break down the, the sources and uses and, and display all the fees in there. And then we break out, you know, cash on cash return on an annual projected basis. So there's really nothing, you know, in that year, one year two, that's missing projections. You know, we lay out the projections for the project on an annual basis Jesse (16m 38s): When it comes to disposition. One unique difference between our Canadian listeners and us listeners is that the 10 31 exchange does not exist for the Canucks. And for, you know, south the border, you, you guys utilize that is your strategy on disposition to find different assets, or is it an actual full-out sale pay back investors? What do you find is the, for your investors? What are, what are you doing in that, on that front? Ryan (17m 7s): And it really depends on the projects, but you know, right now with, you know, the bonus depreciation, you know, a lot of our investors are replacing capital and that bonus depreciation offsets, you know, the capital gains there. So the 10 31 isn't always necessary or a required vehicle to offset that gain. But the other tough part about the 10 31 is you are on the clock. You have to find an asset, you have to find something to place that capital in and depending on the market and the timing, you know, there may be a limited number of qualified assets available. Jesse (17m 47s): And do you have a limited amount of time that, or a time period where these assets are, are held? You know, are you telling investors that, you know, we like to have a capital event in three years, five, seven, whatever that may be. Ryan (18m 1s): Yeah. We underwrite to a five-year hold due to the strength of the markets we invest in. It's not on a realistic to, to make an exit. And in the two to three year span, we like to keep our projections conservative and just run everything out to, to a five-year. However, you know, we may refi and hang on exit in seven, we may sell in two. It really depend on asset performance in market conditions. Jesse (18m 26s): Yeah, that makes sense. In terms of the, the actual underwriting from a stress test perspective, obviously, or seemingly obvious that the, the interest rate environment is going to be changing in the upcoming months, it has changed over the last few months. Has anything changed in the way that you underwrite in terms of certain sensitivities that you have when you're looking at properties, whether that's geographic or just loan to value that the interest rates are potentially affecting, how are you, how are you analyzing with in our current environment? Ryan (19m 0s): Yeah, absolutely. I think that's a great relevant topic. Warren, you want to dig into that one? Warren (19m 5s): So there are probably two aspects that we're paying much closer attention to at the moment. The first is if we're using floating rate debt where underwriting the forward interest rate curve. So if we can get focused on rate today on that debt, we're actually looking at what the forward projections are from the fed. And then we're assuming that next year, the interest rate might be 5% the year after it might be 5.5%. So it definitely allowing to that increased cost of debt service. That's the first aspect. The second is at refi were very sensitive to the fact that proceeds available at refi have been driven by loan to value up until this point, interest rates have been so low that most lenders are constrained by LTB rather than debt service coverage ratio. DSCR we think that's going to change going forward. So on all of the deals that we're underwriting, when we look at proceeds available at refi were paying close attention to the projected DSCR in year two or year three. And we're using that metric to determine how many, how much proceeds are going to be available. And what we're finding is that, whereas in the past, we may have assumed that we were going to get a 75% agency loan and refi. Now it's looking like we might only be able to qualify for a 60% LTV or a 55% LTV loan, and that completely changes the return profile of the deal. So it's a, it's a real, a key factor that we're paying much closer attention to just in the last three months. Jesse (20m 40s): And are, are you agnostic to the type of debt, whether it's agency debt or, or not, or do you, do you have a, Warren (20m 49s): We, we want non-recourse debt within that at steel specific we'll look at fixed rate, floating rate, bridge debt agency debt. Whatever's going to make the most sense for the deal. Jesse (21m 2s): Fair enough. So a good segue to the actual underwriting, or, sorry, the actual asset management of the, of the properties that you have in terms of the operational side of things, is this something that you have in hosts, the actual property management, and then I guess at the higher level would be asset management from your company. What does that relationship look like for your deals? Ryan (21m 23s): Yeah, so we use a third party property manager that handles the day-to-day operations, and then we handle the asset management piece in house and really focused on, on managing the, the manager and execution of the business plan and tracking that, you know, daily and weekly, as far as are we on track for this particular metric? Have there been any shifts in the market that are going to impact our future projections Jesse (21m 49s): When it comes to the local management? What's the process for when you have say out-of-state properties that you're buying, where you're not as familiar with the companies that are working there, is this something where you roll up your sleeves and figure out who the, the best company is to manage these? Or is this done quarterbacked all from one location? Ryan (22m 9s): So, yeah, we work with one property management company. We have a great relationship with them. They performed phenomenally, and there's, there's an alignment of culture between our group and theirs, which we like it to the point where, you know, we won't really invest in, in markets that they don't manage it. Jesse (22m 26s): Now, when it comes to those markets, I know we mentioned, or we talked before Florida, Carolinas, Texas, are these the key markets that you're looking at right now? Are there any others? And what's that process that you go through to figure out which areas that you want to be investing in? Ryan (22m 43s): Yeah, no, absolutely. Those are our key focus areas at the moment. But you have to remember that you we're, we're investing a real estate, but we're buying a business that comes with that real estate and you need the fundamentals of the market to be able to support the growth of that business. You know, a lot of the markets across the Southeast and Texas, the key thing is population growth and net migration that that's driving demand pressure in these markets. And then the next thing is, you know, supply, we look for areas that are supply constrained that don't have a lot of units coming online or projected units coming online. And then the next component is, is really affordability, income, income, growth, and employment. Jesse (23m 28s): That all makes sense when it comes to the, the team itself. You know, you're building this business, you're finding property management, asset management, obviously there's other stakeholders and members of your team. You kind of alluded before in terms of brokers, you, how important is building the team properly from the outset. And is there any, you know, are there any tips or any advice you'd give investors that are in the process of either building out a team or adjusting a current team that they have, that they want to improve on? Ryan (23m 57s): Yeah. And the, and this comes back to building and running a business. You know, if you don't have that relevant business or management experience, I wouldn't let that deter you, but, but understand it's going to be a learning curve and there's going to be some on the job learning that comes with that. And I think the classic advice is, you know, be, you know, slow to hire, hire the right people and quick to fire. If there's a problem in, someone's not performing and you, you've tried to manage their performance, aren't able to, you know, don't hang onto them any longer than need to. They're going to become a detriment to the growth of your business. And as far as hiring goes, you really spend some time defining what are the roles and responsibilities you're trying to hire to do you have the systems and procedures in place where you can bring this person in and they can execute on those rules and responsibilities. And then once you have that back into, okay, who's the ideal person for this role and for the company and who can I work with on a daily basis. Jesse (24m 60s): Yeah. Right. I couldn't agree with you more on that. I think the there's this conventional wisdom, or there's this idea that real estate investing, isn't a business. And, you know, for those that are familiar with the book, the E-Myth, it's been recommended on the show a few times of actually building your business. For some reason, investors seem to think we're all supposed to be, you know, just kind of shooting from the hip when the reality is it's no different than any other business. You're S you create a team, you create systems and then you really get efficiency out of it. So couldn't agree with you more on that. I'd be remiss if we didn't touch on the current environment that we are in, or the one that we just laugh. It's been an unprecedented last 24 months, you know, myself working in more broadly commercial real estate. So office retail, industrial, as well as multi raise everything's been affected in some, in some respect, what is your view I'd like to hear from both of you of how we are coming out of this, what we, you know, what you are seeing as the likely outcome in terms of the real estate market over the next few months, and maybe you could talk a little bit about the, the last 24 months and how that's changed your investment philosophy if it has at all. Ryan (26m 11s): Yeah, absolutely. You know, the, the philosophy hasn't really changed that we're, we're very big fundamental investors that we invest in the strength of the market, and then find the best opportunity in that market. We can, and then build the strongest team we can to, to execute on the business plan. But the things are, are going to change here with the debt market. There's no question about that, but I think the outlook for, for multi-family specifically is still pretty positive, especially in these, you know, the Southeast and in Texas, where you have this, this continued demand pressure from inbound migration. And the other component is, you know, on the demand side, interest rates also affect the home buyers and the retail consumer. So I think there's a lot of individuals that maybe we'll be looking for, you know, purchasing their first home. That'll be priced out of the market as interest rates come up. And that will continue to drive the demand pressure on, on the multifamily side with that, you know, the supply side is going to be constrained by interest rates as well. It's going to be expensive to build a new product. Lumber prices have been up and down pretty dramatically over the last six months, but have definitely been higher than historicals, which increase, you know, the cost to build combined with supply chain issues, not only on the material side, but, but the labor side, skilled labor is a problem here in the United States and will continue to be a problem in the United States, which makes replacement product more expensive. And, and I don't see a solution to the housing supply problem. And I, I see, you know, as long as you're investing in, in these markets where the demand pressure's there and you're not hitting an affordability component, that's the next piece that you have to look at? It's yeah. Rents are moving. Yeah. Demand pressures. High supply is constrained. Rents are moving dramatically. And in some cases, you know, like Tampa saw 32% rent growth last year, which is just ridiculous, but you can't see that back to back year, over year before people can't afford to live anymore. So with that, you have to look at the diversity employment market, wage growth and the cost of living, Jesse (28m 23s): Or in thoughts, Warren (28m 25s): I guess just another part of your question about the last 24 months. I think something we really learned, which has reaffirmed our strategy is that with COVID the industry as a whole performed really well, but a lot of that was because of all the money that flowed into the states to provide rental assistance. So one thing we've noticed is that demographics matter. And if you are in a smaller market, if you're in an older property, you're probably more likely to have a tenant base that's reliant on rental assistance. Who's chosen over the last 24 months or had to over the last 24 months, not pay rent. We haven't seen that at our properties. And I think that's kind of reaffirmed our strategy that if we stick to these strong growing markets, if we stick to these newer assets, we can avoid that demographic and our bad debt tends to be lower. So that was something that we, we never really set out thinking bad debt first, but it's something we really noticed that it's been an issue. Industry-wide I think that the industry has been fine, but we're starting to say people who are not paying rent, who are, who have been reliant on this rental assistance. And now that it's dried up not able to pay rent. So it's something we've learned over the last 24 months, but like I said, it's actually reaffirmed our strategy, which we're quite happy with. Jesse (29m 51s): Yeah, no, that makes a lot of sense. I think it's a, it's a common, a common view right now for, for investors. And, and like you said, that as a whole, we, the market did perform pretty robustly, but definitely a dislocation in certain areas, whether that's office retail specific type of office or retail, but looks like, you know, there it is positive the way we're going. You know, especially Canada, we took a little longer, hopefully fingers crossed. Everything is moving in the same direction. There's big contrast when you're flying to Orlando from Toronto and just the, the environment. So hopefully that, that all moves in the right direction. So we're coming up to the end here. We asked four questions to all the guests and I'll start with those. And at the end, we can talk a little bit about how people can reach out to you and you know, where they can go to connect and whether that's investing in a deal, or basically just trying to reach out or seeing, seeing where you are in social. But before we get that, we have four questions. We ask everybody. So if you're ready, I'll kick them off. So what is something that, you know, now in your real estate career that you wish you had had known when you started out Warren (31m 2s): Passive? I guess for me, it's real estate is a get rich, slow scheme. So it's time in the market that matters. So I would, what I wish I had known is that I should have started 10 years before I did. Jesse (31m 16s): That's great time, time in the, or so we're not timing the market time in the market. Ryan (31m 21s): Absolutely. You know, looking back even the last 12 months. And I think a lot of people do suffer from the analysis paralysis and especially people looking to jump into real estate and get your first deal done. You know, I look back 12 months ago, there were deals that, that we passed on that, that, you know, didn't make sense or were a little tighter than we liked. You know, demographic, strongly area was strongly like the property, but it was, it was the basis and the pricing, we couldn't make sense of. There's a lot of those deals looking back now that I wish we just would've bought, we'd probably be selling them right now. Jesse (31m 58s): Fair enough. All right. Number two. Any advice for individuals or younger professionals trying to get into the commercial real estate space? You know, maybe from the framework of mentorship, would, what advice would you have for, for those individuals? Warren (32m 14s): I would say surround yourself with people who are doing it, who are one or two steps ahead of you? I think we kind of alluded to this in the conversation earlier about going big. It's actually not that much more difficult to go big than to go small. It's all about the size of your thinking. So I think surround yourself with people who are doing bigger deals and you'll realize that you can as well. Ryan (32m 37s): Yeah, absolutely. And to add to that, it is a unique industry in the sense that I don't know any other industry where you have a willingness of people further down the path to reach back and help the people walking the same path. Jesse (32m 53s): Yeah. That's a great point. I think we're a pretty spoiled in our industry and it's not a, I don't think we've ever talked about that on the show about, or if we have, it's been a while about how many people there are in our industry that are more than willing to help a younger person out. If anything, they just, they see a little bit of them in the younger individuals and, and they want to help. So, I mean, it makes a lot of sense. Number three, for us, is there any tool resource that can be software, a book that you're utilizing now where you you'd recommend to listeners it could be real estate or business in general, Warren (33m 27s): Something, something I like it it's a website that we're using. It's called justice maps.org. I don't know if you've seen that Jesse, but it's, we use it basically to look at incomes. It breaks down incomes by, I dunno if it's zip code or even more refined than that, but we don't just rely on what CoStar reports in a radius. We actually map out the specific location of the property and look at incomes all around it. So justice maps.org. Jesse (33m 54s): Okay. We'll put that in the show notes. It's it's funny. You mentioned that one specifically. I think it was literally yesterday. I ordered a book off of Amazon that had that in there, and I never saw that before justice, but I've heard of like, familiar are a similar type of websites, but it's funny. They specifically mentioned that and it was like a multi-family acquisition book. So we'll definitely put a link for that. Anything, anything for you, Ryan? Ryan (34m 17s): Yeah, I think I'm kind of relevant to the time sphere and we touched on, on the debt market, but we're looking at the chat and financials website, you know, every day pulling the, the forward interest rate curve forward treasuries. And so for, and, and we use that to underwrite, you know, month over month, our forward debt service, as well as the price interest rate caps. Jesse (34m 39s): Yeah, that makes sense. All right. The last one listeners know I stole this boat two years ago from a masters of business and Bloomberg first car make and model. Warren (34m 48s): So I don't, I don't know if the names of the cars are different in Australia, but it was a proton. I think it might've been, Jesse (34m 55s): I think that that is, I think that is it Nissan or it's not. I know exactly what you're talking about. That is hilarious. That is the first proton we've had on the show. I can tell you that much. How about you, Ryan? Ryan (35m 7s): Yeah, that's a little more domestic. Had a Chevy Beretta. It was a manual transmission.

“Shame can't survive the light." If you have been on this podcast journey with me for awhile then you know that addiction and recovery are a recurring theme on the show--subjects very close to my heart as someone whose life has been spared by sobriety. With so much going on in the world and addiction on the rise, and so many people suffering in silence, I think it's important to talk about mental health, addiction and shine some light on the subject. After all, shame can't survive the light. So today on the show I am sharing the story of Amy Dresner--a true badass and an amazing example that you can get through anything with resilience and turn tragedy into triumph. Amy Dresner is a journalist, author, and former comedian as well as a recovering addict and alcoholic. She has been a columnist for the addiction/recovery magazine theFix.com since 2012 and has freelanced for Addiction.com, Psychology Today, Vice and many other publications. Her first book, “My Fair Junkie: A Memoir of Getting Dirty and Staying Clean,” was published by Hachette in 2017 to rave reviews from critics and readers alike. Elle magazine compared Dresner’s darkly comic memoir to Carrie Fisher’s “Postcards from the Edge” and Mary Karr’s “Lit,” calling Dresner’s book “one for the ages.” Dresner has appeared on the television show The Doctors TV and on numerous radio shows and podcasts, including Dr. Drew, Dopey and Rich Roll. She does regular speaking engagements around the U.S. and Canada. Her book is currently in development for a TV series. In this episode, Amy candidly shares her journey into and out of addiction and why it's never too late to change your life for the better. Growing up in Beverly Hills, Amy had it all: a top-notch private school education, the most expensive summer camps, and even a weekly spending allowance. But at age 24 she started dabbling in meth in San Francisco and soon became a full blown meth addict. She managed to keep it all together until one night, high on Oxycontin, she pulled a butter knife on her husband and was promptly arrested for felony domestic violence with a deadly weapon. She found herself in the psych ward, divorced, and penniless. She was court-ordered 240 ours of community service and for the next two years assigned to a Hollywood Boulevard "chain gang." She cleaned up the streets and bounced from rehabs, struggled with sobriety, sex addiction, and starting over in her 40's. This conversation is raw, courageous and even shocking at times. We talk about the dark side of addiction, fear, self hatred and shame. The is a candid conversation about the struggles to success, the will to survive, and the conviction and strength required to achieve sobriety. Here’s what you will learn: How Amy started her journey from pain to purpose (2:50) What she learned and how she grew from her arrest and jail (11:31) How being on the "chain gang" shifted her perspective and changed her life (19:21) How shame affects us and how the 12 Steps helps us (23:51) Addiction doesn't discriminate and how to overcome the dark side by shining light on it (29:45) How to navigate feelings that come and go (36:52) How Amy was able to manage her depression and mood in the pandemic (45:43) How to manage making decisions about medications in sobriety (52:18) Screenshot your favorite part and post to your IG story and tag me @amberlylagomotivation and @amydresner so we can see and repost to our stories!

Amy Dresner- author of My Fair Junkie: A Memoir of Getting Dirty and Staying Clean. Amy Dresner is a journalist, author, and former comedian as well as a recovering addict. She was a regular columnist for the addiction/recovery magazine theFix.com since 2012 and has freelanced for Addiction.com, Psychology Today, Vice and many other publications. She’s now a regular contributor to WorkitHealth.com. Dresner has appeared on the television show The Doctors and on numerous radio shows and podcasts, including Dr. Drew, Dopey and Rich Roll. She does regular speaking engagements around the U.S. She is the co-host to Joe Schrank of the new Rehab Confidential Podcast. Amy wrote her book, My Fair Junkie: A Memoir of Getting Dirty and Staying Clean, in 2017. In her memoir, Amy describes growing up in Beverly Hills and having it all: a top-notch private school education, the most expensive summer camps and even a weekly clothing allowance. At the age of 24 she began experimenting with meth in San Francisco and unleashed a fiending addiction monster. Soon, if you could snort it, smoke it, or have sex with, she did. Smart and charming, with daddy’s money to fall back on, she sort of managed to keep it all together. But on Christmas Eve of 2011, all of that changed when, high on Oxycontin, she stupidly “brandished” a bread knife on her husband and was promptly arrested for “felony domestic violence with a deadly weapon.” Within months, she found herself in the psych ward–and then penniless, divorced and looking out on a court-ordered 240 hours of community service. For the next two years, assigned to a Hollywood Boulevard “chain gang,” she would sweep up syringes (and worse) on Hollywood Boulevard as she bounced from rehabs to halfway houses, all while struggling with sobriety, sex addiction, and starting over in her 40s. Her book is currently in development for a TV series.

Crispy Edge is a pot sticker-themed restaurant in Tower Grove South. You’ll find the traditional potstickers, but owner David Dresner says the sky’s the limit when it comes to flavors. He started the business in his kitchen and now they’re churning out more potstickers than they could have imagined thanks to a partnership with Schnucks; something Dresner said was years of hard work paying off. Schnucks is partnering with several local restaurants including Nudo House, Seoul Taco and Hot Box cookies. It's just one of the ways restaurants are adapting during the Coronavirus Pandemic. Dresner joined us on the Meet St. Louis podcast to talk about mass producing potstickers, the process of developing new flavors including STL Homerun, a dumpling made with Red Hot Riplets dough and a sausage and provel filling, and their plans for the future. Pandemic or not, they’re not slowing down.

*****THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL EPISODE***** Last summer, when Rebecca was on her way to Bali, she met a woman in a grocery store who had an addiction memoir about to be released. That memoir was My Fair Junkie, and it's one of the most raw, real, disturbing, hilarious, and well-written book that exists on the subject. That woman, Amy Dresner, later hooked Rebecca up with her writing job @ TheFix.com,. More importantly, the rigorous honesty of this book, the fact that after all this insanity, Amy has achieved long term sobriety today, planted those seeds in Rebecca that maybe she could do it to. Today, both women are sober. Last night Rebecca stood in a circle of women and sang happy birthday to Amy as she celebrated six continuous sobriety. Buy the book! My Fair Junkie Follow! @AmyDresner

Amy Dresner is the most brilliant, funniest, wildest writer you've never met, she used to be a stand-up comic and is still funnier than one. If you want to hear from someone who took it ALL THE WAY; that would be Amy- rehabs for meth, coke, and alcohol, psyche wards, and that's not even counting the food issues and sex addiction… but she swapped all that for Yerba Mattes, vaping nicotine, and writing for "The Fix" and advice columnist Amy Alcon, among others. I know Dresner well, because I'm lucky, and now you will know her too, if you are worthy. The first classic quote we get from her is “You can't be full of dick and full of sadness. Be sad after, when they don't call you again, but you can't be sad during it.” I think I will get that stitched into a pillow. We delve into “daddy issues,” and where hers came from, if she has any. Amy discusses vulnerability and the line between that and just being a drama queen, and we segue into how she developed a sex addiction after her marriage ended, but also (paradoxically) came into her own sexually. She owns her mistakes, her peccadillos, and we discuss what makes us get attached to men, as opposed to "just sex." Dresner talks about the most annoying thing men and women do, then shares about being sentenced to “community labor” because of that little “knife incident” and that time she ran into an ex while sweeping the streets with other felons. At some point when we're talking about her seizures and Yerba Matte habit (it's a tea, people) I admit that sometimes I worry about her, which is apparently a common reaction from her Alanon friends who need to “stay in their lane.” Amy gets so real and deep about accepting people, no matter what their path, I'm reminded again why I love her. It took a bunch of dick jokes, but we get to the beautiful empathic, vulnerable core of being alive. Also, of all the different kinds of therapy (we've both had shit tons) what helped us the most? We finish off about amongst other things, shame vs. restraint, Tinder in Brooklyn, having overwhelming emotions and why “damaged people” are dangerous. Strap in, it's going to be a bumpy night.
