Today, my guests are Nick Earls, and Eric De Nicola. Nick and Eric are full time real estate investors, developers and founders of winterspring capital, a private equity firm based in Boston, Massachusetts. Together they have developed over $56 million in multifamily assets with another $40 million in the pipeline. And their work includes value add affordable housing development, and luxury multifamily condo developments in the southeast us. And in just a minute, we're going to speak with Eric and Nick about their experience and how you can learn and identify and, and grow your multifamily portfolio. 

J. Darrin Gross I'd like to ask you, Nick curls and Eric de Nicola. What is the biggest risk?   Eric DiNicola   I think in the business we're in and because we're in, you know, a few sort of real estate verticals, if we focus say just on the condo development They're, I feel like there are two major risks. One is sort of the political and municipality risk in the city or building. And I'll get into that a little deeper in a second. And then the other one is sort of a macro risk right now or in potentially, you know, the Fed raising rates over the long term, it does, you know, potentially reduce buying power for individuals, and we're selling condos. So the way we kind of, we don't necessarily think at our firm, that's going to happen. So at least not in the immediate future, there's potentially too many consequences for that on a macro scale. But these two things that we see, so when you're dealing with a city like Boston, there's so much red tape, that if you get into a project, without sort of a backup plan, or a worst case scenario, still kind of breaking even, for example, a very simple way to put it would be you buy a property in a three Family Zone, you should make sure if you had if you get denied for your variances, you get denied the Zoning Board of Appeals, you could still develop a three unit property, that would always break even the worst case, because by the winter, the why you can do that you don't need special permission, you're in a three Family Zone, you're allowed. So look at that scenario, if that scenario loses a lot of money, then you probably shouldn't get into it without protecting yourself and minimizing that risk either by having a contingency that Nick spoke about, or some sort of backup plan. So that's kind of the local political municipality risks, because in Boston is just very difficult to develop. And it's getting harder and harder, you know, not even every year, it seems like every month, there's much more red tape. And like I said, the other thing would be more interest rate risk, when you're selling condos. Buying Power does go down for buyers as interest rates go up. So one way we kind of, you know, try to eliminate that is we say, okay, look, where's the market at right now, a lot of developers project out oh, you know, the markets increased at this rate, this is the value of homes, you know, a year ago, this is what they're at now continue with that project that I'm going to sell them for this this much higher than they are now. We don't do that we project as is, even if it's two years old, even sometimes with like a 10% hit to see what this still work. And if it doesn't, you know, we second guess that project. So that's kind of how we try. That's how we see to the biggest risks we see. And those are kind of the ways we would eliminate them in our business. But also just the idea of diversifying within real estate where you have the different asset classes that we had, and the different types of verticals that were involved with, is sort of another way or to risk minimization.

Phil and Jay sit down with Nick and Eric to discuss the pair's 20-year friendship and how they successfully developed a business and brand from their first real estate project, which included the renovation and sale of three condominium units in Boston. The Winterspring story is interesting in seeing how two friends can create a real estate development company, without deep pocket backers, by taking one step at a time, by building skills, by stepping out of their comfort zone and focusing on marketing, and by measuring each decision and learning lessons as they build for the future. Specifically, the group examines the pros and cons of funding projects with equity investments in lieu of debt; the company's marketing strategy and plans for future growth including writing books and articles for public consumption; the concept of the “karma economy”; and Winterspring's foray into Boston's affordable housing market.

We covered topics related to the evolution of home purchase lending as well as exit strategies when building condominiums or holding onto apartments.  We talked about creating passive income for investors and the meaning of real estate syndication, among many other important topics.  Let's go!

In fact, they have taken their friendship to the next level by joining forces to achieve their childhood aspiration and build a multimillion-dollar real estate business together.The road wasn't always easy for these childhood friends turned business partners.

GUEST SUMMARY Putting their white coats on this week are full-time real estate investors and developers, and founders of Winterspring Capital — Nick Earls and Eric DiNicola. They have been friends for almost two decades and their unique relationship have allowed them to both tack on a very niched multi-family condo opportunity while complimenting each other's strengths and weaknesses and while having the same core values growing up and now growing their businesses together. Having a construction background, Nick confidently dove into Real Estate and ventured into the strong condominium market in Boston after college. Over a decade, he experienced all phases of commercial real estate, including asset management, sales, new construction development, and property management. Being an expert in underwriting and asset management in the multifamily space, he authored the top-rated book “Making Millions through Multi-Family Development.” On the other hand, Eric in New York dealt with public and private equity companies and stock trading. When he realized how to break free from the 9-5 office hours cycle, he moved back to Boston and joined Nick to begin their experiments. Together, their partnership developed and grew into several multifamily development strategies from value add 100+ unit complexes in the Southeast to affordable housing, to luxury multifamily condominium development. They balance long-term value-add multifamily investments with short-term profits from condominium developments. In this episode, Nick and Eric are going to walk us through their experience from condo development, dealing with the neighborhood, their pushbacks along the way, and how they've created a very niched strategy that most investors shy away from. If you're the type of person that enjoys going left when everybody is going right then you'll want to tune into the opportunity that Nick and Eric have developed. No pun intended...ok maybe just a little bit, enjoy the show!

Our guests are Nick Earls and Eric DiNicola, the founders of Winterspring Capital, a multifamily investment and development firm. In this episode, we dig into the ins and outs of condo development. We break down the development process into 5 simple steps, talk about how to invest in big cities, and how to sell condos successfully. If you're interested in condo development, then join us in this conversation! Learn more about Nick and Eric and their journey at reiclarity.com! “Condominium development has been a really good pathway for us, and has allowed us to branch into long-term multifamily ownership.”   03:23 Nick and Eric have pursued many different real estate strategies during their career. They're involved in condo development, multifamily, buy and holds, and flips around the Boston, Massachusetts area.    They started their real estate journey with condo development. They initially wanted to buy rentals, but saw an opportunity in their local market for condos and have been using this strategy ever since. “Marketing is key because the speed of sale is the biggest focus at the end to eliminate stress.”   11:05 Nick and Eric share the 5 main steps of condo development.   Tieing up the land.You should only purchase the land if you're confident that you can get it permitted. Zoning and planning.Work in tandem with the community and respect their insights. Your team is very important in the zoning process. Have a good zoning attorney and work with an architect who can make the property blend in with the environment. The building process.Currently, labor is very expensive and supply chain pressures have driven up the price of materials. That this into account when you analyze a deal. Breaking the property out into condos.In many cases, selling condos individually as rentals is more profitable than selling the whole property. However, it's riskier as it's harder to get lending. Selling the property.Focus on marketing from the start of the construction. This way you can get the units under agreement ahead of time. “Real estate is worth the risk. And it's not as big of a risk as some people think.”   45:37 At the end of the episode, Nick and Eric pick action steps from the REI Clarity Framework that are the most valuable to them. These are “Take the Risk” and “Know Your Strategy”.   At the beginning of their real estate journey, Nick and Eric often got into analysis paralysis. However, as they progressed through their careers, they realized that real estate is one of the safest investment asset classes. If you're confident in what you know, then take the risk. Worst case scenario is that you have to sell the property.  Mentioned in the show: https://winterspringcapital.com/ https://winterspringcapital.com/development-book Nick's LinkedIn Eric's LinkedIn Their Instagram www.reiclarity.com www.shineinsurance.com/reiclarity The REI Clarity Framework Learn how to grow your portfolio and reach incredible success the right way!

Today we're going to take a look at the Affordable Housing Crisis in the U.S. and how this will become increasingly important to renters and rental property owners in the coming years.  Construction and labor costs have risen to a point where current prices and rents may not justify the expense of building new supply, yet the demand for housing is growing and creating a lack of affordable housing for many people. My guests today have positioned themselves to be part of the solution.  Nick Earls and Eric DiNicola are full-time real estate investors, developers, and founders of Winterspring Capital, a private equity firm based out of Boston, MA.  Nick and Eric have over $100 Million in past and current assets under their belts and focus on several types of multifamily investment and development strategies.  Currently they have both an affordable housing development in progress, as well as a $25 Million market-rate 32-unit luxury condo development in Boston. We'll also discuss the importance of having a High-Net Worth Investor or group to partner with in order to acquire the best financing from lending institutions.  Nick and Eric also discuss the political and public process they go through in the pre-development phase and share tips on how to react when dealing with aggressive input and feedback from the NIMBY crowd. Nick and Eric have a lot of incredible development wisdom to share in this episode.  You can find out more about them through their website: https://winterspringcapital.com Today's episode is brought to you by Green Property Management, managing everything from single family homes to apartment complexes in the West Michigan area. https://www.livegreenlocal.com And RCB & Associates, helping Michigan-based real estate investors and small business owners navigate the complex world of health insurance and medicare benefits. https://www.rcbassociatesllc.com

Having successfully developed and raised capital in the Boston area for over a dozen condominium projects, Nick and Eric have now ventured into multifamily syndication in the Southeast and Midwest markets.In today's talk we compared and contrasted development against the buy and hold strategy. Both have their advantages, but opportunity may be market based. For instance, buy and hold has been a goal for quite some time, however their local market rewarded condo development over market rent builds. Now Eric and Nick are looking to leverage their knowledge and network into markets more suited long term holds, leaning towards an emphasis on affordable housing.Some great insights into partnerships and growing a business are also shared. Nicholas is a history buff, and his analogy about Japan's growth over the 20th century can be a template for both personal and business growth.
