Is taking a relationship-based approach to working with off-market Sellers just a strategy to feel good and know we are being thoughtful?  No, it's also a hugely important strategy for negotiating BETTER deals for ourselves (and giving our Sellers better outcomes).  In this episode, Jeff interviews long-time successful real estate investor Gabriel Hamel, who has built an incredible portfolio using the power of relationship to buy a wide range of properties with Seller Financing.  In this conversation, Jeff and Gabriel discuss the practical benefits of a relationship-driven approach, why Seller Financing is superior even when bank loan options are available, why investors should consider themselves fortunate to NOT have more cash to work with, and the changing role of Seller Financing in the new economy.   Learn to buy Seller Financing properties off-market, the thoughtful way:  http://www.thedealsworkshop.com

So you came back from Iraq. What year was this?  [00:01:52] Gabriel Hamel: Yeah. I was deployed in oh three and oh four and I came back so late oh four and then I got completely out of the military in oh five, about my first house in oh  [00:02:00] Sam Wilson: five. [00:02:00] Sam Wilson: Gotcha. What'd you do in the downturn? I mean, you come back, you come back from, from Iraq, you buy your first property with the downturn was only a couple years later. Where were you positioned portfolio wise then?  [00:02:10] Gabriel Hamel: Yeah, it was interesting. I had three houses going into, well, lemme back up a little bit. [00:02:14] Gabriel Hamel: So when I came back, I took from Iraq, I took a bunch of kinda odd end jobs. I opened up a small nutrition store. It never really made money. A lot of times I was I'd like, Kind of close the store down cause it was inside of a gym and I'd go work out. Or I was on the computer looking at properties. [00:02:28] Gabriel Hamel: And so I know just off air, I say that I've never traditionally financed the property. Those first three properties kind of, it was during the subprime and banks were given money to anybody. And so I was one of those guys that had no job, no down payment, no income. And the bank gave me a loan. And so I bought a home in oh five with no money down similar in oh six and similar oh seven. [00:02:47] Gabriel Hamel: And my mind, my, my thought process there. This is easier. This is easier than even the books. Like I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna go buy a house once a year with no money down. And 20 years I'll have 20 houses. It seems too easy. So like 2000 and like right around, like right before 2008 I had shut my store down. [00:03:05] Gabriel Hamel: My first son was born and that was kind of my first like, what do I do now? And so I went back to the bank and said, Hey, I wanna buy another house. And they. Guidelines have changed. You actually don't qualify. You need a down payment, you need income, you need all these things. [00:03:17] Gabriel Hamel: You need a job. None of which I had, so I was like, there has to be another way. I didn't know anyone with money. I didn't know. You know how to, because they told me you're gonna need 20% down at least maybe 30% down on investment properties. And I'm like, what do I do? And this was really my goal and passion. [00:03:33] Gabriel Hamel: I was like, I'm gonna be financially free through real estate. And it was easy initially. And so from oh eight through oh nine, I just started looking at for seller finance deals. I would get on Craigslist every night. I had a minimum wage job and I was thought if I could replace this. If I could just replace this income, I would be financially free. [00:03:50] Gabriel Hamel: I wouldn't be wealthy yet, but I could at least replace this income be financially free. So I got online every night and just started looking for seller finance deals. And about a year into looking I found a seller finance deal that it was a no money down deal on the two duplexes a cash load almost to the dollar that I was making at that job. [00:04:07] Gabriel Hamel: And. I finished out that year of work and I never worked again.  [00:04:12] Sam Wilson: One year you spent an one year higher year looking for seller finance deals. What gave you the motivation to keep looking? I mean, that's a long time sifting and not finding anything.  [00:04:24] Gabriel Hamel: Yeah, there are several things. [00:04:25] Gabriel Hamel: So for one, it was, I had shut the sword down, my first son being born and I kind of had this idea, like, I'm gonna be financially free before I have kids. Well, I wasn't financially free. I had these couple houses, they cash flow at a couple hundred dollars and I'm just doing the math going. This is gonna be hard to be financially free, let alone like to actually build wealth. I'm gonna have to buy a lot of homes that are a couple hundred dollars a month cash flow. And then when I just took a bunch of odd end jobs, right. And because I had low paying jobs, I eventually ended up in a job in a high school, special education class. [00:04:54] Gabriel Hamel: And I was coaching high school wrestling, which really didn't make any money there. But it was a couple months into that job. I was literally cleaning a stall that a kid threw everywhere, cuz he thought it was funny and believe my heart goes out to these kids. It just wasn't my dream like to be doing that. [00:05:05] Gabriel Hamel: And so a few months into that job, I was like, this is not what I want to do. I have this dream of being financially free and I was convinced in my mind that real estate would be that path. And I thought if I don't, if I don't find a way to replace his income, as soon as possible. I'm gonna end up working a job that I don't like and who knows for how long. [00:05:23] Gabriel Hamel: So it's kind of this moment of, am I gonna get serious about investing or am I gonna stay at this job? And I actually feel fortunate that it wasn't a high paying job. I, because it felt very obtainable. I mean, I think my take home was it was under $1,500 a month, of take home. So I thought if I could replace this income. [00:05:40] Gabriel Hamel: Like I'm financially free. So at 27, I'm like, I'm retired, I'm financially free. I was still for a it's not like I was wealthy, but you know, But my income was more than what my expenses were and I kept my expenses low for a lot of years. And from 2009 through 13, I bought all no money down seller finance deals on small multifamily. [00:06:01] Gabriel Hamel: So I bought another 10 or so properties from oh nine through 13, all no money down seller finance deals that year of looking, I analyzed a lot of deals. I had talked to a lot of people. I had a lot of conversations. On deals that didn't pencil, but I started understanding the language and the deal structure and what sellers wanted. [00:06:18] Gabriel Hamel: And so by 2014 I had acquired quite a bit of small multifamily properties with no money down. And in 2014, I was able to refinance those properties out and have traditional financing on all those properties, but I never had to bring money to the table. So I essentially in 2014, ended up with the same type of loans that in oh 9, 10, 11, 12, I would've had to bring 30% down, which I didn't have. [00:06:42] Sam Wilson: So wait, so let me get this right. [00:06:44] Sam Wilson: Gabriel, in 2014, you were able to refinance all of these properties, which at that point, you'd obviously increase the cash flow. They now appreciate it in value, and you're able to get the financing you wanted and you still had no money in the deal [00:06:56] Gabriel Hamel: Correct. I mean it, and it's my only criteria back then. [00:06:59] Gabriel Hamel: I didn't know. I didn't know what cap rates were. I didn't know. My only criteria back then was if it was cash flow positive. So that very first seller finance deal, I did, I had looked and analyzed enough deals, right? So I'm running a numbers going, Hey, what am I missing? What am I missing? I set it up as a non-recourse note. [00:07:16] Gabriel Hamel: I set it up as what's my worst case scenario. I'm going into this, no money down. I am cash flow positive from day one. Worst case scenario, which never happened was at the end of the seller finance carry, cuz they were only gonna carry for a couple years. I would give the property back. Worst case scenario. [00:07:32] Gabriel Hamel: I'd give the property back. Well, my only criteria was cash flow positive. So I felt like it really mitigated my risk. Like I looked at it as all these things that could have happened with the property. Cause I'm asking myself, what if this, what if this? And then I thought, what if I just didn't buy the property? [00:07:46] Gabriel Hamel: If I didn't buy the property to me that. Like the biggest risk. So I'm gonna buy the property and whatever else happens. Happens. And so, so that's what I did. And by 2014, just like you said rents were up. Cause a lot of these properties were poorly managed under rented. There were some deferred maintenance. [00:08:01] Gabriel Hamel: And so by 2014, when I refied values were up, interest rates were low. I had better tenants paying more rent and it was just a perfect time to then refinance to refinance those properties and end up with those same, the same type of lending that I couldn't have gotten years previous.  [00:08:19] Sam Wilson: Do you feel like those opportunities for those types of seller financing opportunities? [00:08:24] Sam Wilson: I should say still exist today? Yeah.  [00:08:26] Gabriel Hamel: A lot of people think, no. I mean, I have never traditionally financed a property ever other than those first three houses, which I don't know if you can really consider that traditional finance. I mean, that's, they gave anyone loans back then. I just didn't. [00:08:39] Gabriel Hamel: I just bought, well, I bought property that still made sense. But absolutely. I mean, I've only used seller financing, private money and hard money. And the first private money lender, the first person I ever borrowed private money from was one of those sellers that I refinanced out in 2014. [00:08:54] Gabriel Hamel: She said, what am I gonna do with this money? I had never borrowed private money. She had never lent private money and I. You could lend it back to me. Well, we had six years of trust. We had all those years of trust of me making those payments. And so she's like, Hey, I'd be happy to. And those opportunities are definitely out there. [00:09:07] Gabriel Hamel: There's a lot of reasons a seller would want to carry financing. Even in this kind of market.  [00:09:12] Sam Wilson: Is there a particular May use the word demographic. That's not the right word though, but is there a particular set of traits that you are finding today that these seller sellers who are doing seller financing have like, is it, Hey, they're over the age of 70, they have owned these properties for 25 years. [00:09:27] Sam Wilson: They, I mean, is there any common threads amongst that. Yeah,  [00:09:31] Gabriel Hamel: absolutely. I mean, and you're, and you kind of nailed it with those questions. Initially I didn't recognize it. And I initially, after I did a few deals, I thought I'd have to go out and like educate all these sellers. I'm like, this is amazing. [00:09:40] Gabriel Hamel: These sellers are happy to sell their houses. They're not asking for money down. I need to go educate all these sellers and why they should carry financing. And then I realized, wait a minute, I never educated any seller. And not that you couldn't. Cause I know people who have every seller who's ever carried financing for me. [00:09:54] Gabriel Hamel: They're investors themselves. Most of the time they're men and women in their sixties and seventies who've own the asset for just like you said, 25, 30 years. They've usually self-managed and they're just burnt out really good people that have built some level of wealth. And they're just tired because they've been landlord, they've been maintenance person. [00:10:11] Gabriel Hamel: They've done all the things in real estate that I choose not to do and that I don't enjoy doing, and they don't wanna do it anymore. So you're not only creating a new level of passivity for them. It's backed by an asset that they're comfortable with. And so instead of me going out and trying to educate all these sellers, I just tried to get in front of sellers that already understood the advantage of carrying financing. [00:10:32] Gabriel Hamel: So I'm not educating them. And I just say, Hey, what kind of term did you be interested in? And then I see, Hey, what are their needs? And can I create a scenario that gives them what they want and still works for me and really create that, that true win-win scenario.  [00:10:44] Sam Wilson: Right? No, I think that, that's amazing. [00:10:46] Sam Wilson: What are you doing in your business right now? That won't put you in the same position in 25 or 30 years when you're still going. Okay. Now I got 400 units. I'm burnout. I'm tired. Where is Gabriel Hamel? 25 years ago that I can sell all these off to how are you position portfolio differently? [00:11:04] Gabriel Hamel: Yeah, so I don't self manage. I'm not great at property management. I don't like property manage. I build relationships. I like people, every deal I've ever done for my first one to the most recent one, every deal I've ever purchased, I can trace back to a conversation and relationship, letting people know what I'm looking for, whether it's brokers and agents or people. [00:11:21] Gabriel Hamel: I know no one's gonna bring you a deal if they don't know you're looking. And so I just want to be in the minds of people who know what I'm looking for. So, as of late, it's been a lot of mobile home parks, so, right. So yes, I'm on a li I'm on a lot of lists of a lot of brokers. But I also tell people, Hey, I'm looking to buy mobile home parks. [00:11:37] Gabriel Hamel: So when my property manager finds a part, they're bringing it to me. So I think the biggest thing for me to keep it passive is I hire great property managers. They manage my portfolio so I can focus on the things that I enjoy that I'm good at, which is putting deals together and building those relationships. [00:11:53] Gabriel Hamel: That's a big part of it. And maybe years from now I mean, I actually did just sell, for my properties, 13 units. and I sold them with no money down seller finance. So it has come full circle, but the reasons were different. I didn't self-manage those, but they were older properties. [00:12:06] Gabriel Hamel: They were actually some of my original purchases from those 2000 9, 10, 11. They're older properties. There's some deferred maintenance, their rents aren't maximized and it's not, and there's a bunch of equity in the property, but it's not the best use of my money to go in and rehab those cuz they're smaller, multi, and I'm moving on to some bigger stuff. [00:12:23] Gabriel Hamel: So I sold them to a couple who I know like and trust and they have the skillset to go in there. I mean, they've already shot me pictures. This was just like a month and a half ago. They're already shooting me pictures of the, all the money they're putting in these properties and they're cleaning them up and it's great. [00:12:37] Gabriel Hamel: It's a win-win scenario in three. They pay me off and so It's just because I'm not 70 years old and burnt out. It doesn't mean it wasn't a good purchase for them. And it didn't mean it's not a good sale for me. And so there's just, it's still a win-win scenario for both of us.  [00:12:52] Sam Wilson: What did you do to educate yourself? [00:12:54] Sam Wilson: On buying bigger assets. Cause it sounds like at some point you said, Hey, I'm out of the single family game. Maybe I'm wrong if I've  [00:13:00] Gabriel Hamel: misheard I'm I'm I'm outta the single family. For sure. Yeah. Yeah. So  [00:13:03] Sam Wilson: tell me what motivated you or what gave you impetus to say, all right. [00:13:06] Sam Wilson: We're just only gonna focus on bigger stuff.  [00:13:08] Gabriel Hamel: I realize it wasn't that much harder. I think, I, at some point I realized, all these sellers, this, as I started to look at bigger, proper. A lot of the sellers because they're investors themselves, they're willing to think a little more creatively, so they're okay. [00:13:24] Gabriel Hamel: Carrying financing. So I like that it was a little bit more of a sophisticated conversation. I've never bought somebody's personal residence. And so the emotion is less attached to the property, which, which makes the conversation easier. And for me, it's just a, it's a mindset thing. [00:13:38] Gabriel Hamel: I mean, people are playing at a high level and I realize as I'm doing, I mean, the kind of deals I'm doing today. I'm sure I'll look back on it, but those are small deals. And a lot of it's not harder. It's just more of a confidence thing of like when I bought my first house, it was either by the second one, when I did my first seller finance deal, it was easier to do the next and the next and same with when I bought my first mobile home park. [00:13:58] Gabriel Hamel: Right. It was easier to do the second one. And the third one and the fourth one. It's just one. Once you do it, it's you realize like, Hey, this isn't that much harder. And in some ways, as you go bigger it's easier in a lot, of ways.  [00:14:09] Sam Wilson: Are you buying mobile home parks, seller financing as well? [00:14:12] Gabriel Hamel: Yeah, I'll buy mobile home park, seller financing and I'll use hard money or private money. And I like, that space a lot. And I still like to go in with untraditional financing in the sense of, I, my first four mobile home parks, three were hard money. One was seller finance, but I got into all of those with very little money outta my pocket and the money that I did bring to the table. [00:14:32] Gabriel Hamel: Were from 10 31 exchanges from properties. I sold that I did buy with no money down. So I'm into my whole portfolio. It's valued around, I dunno, maybe around 40 million. I'm into that, like no real money out of my pocket because of how I started. So even when I put money down, say from a 10 31 that came from a property that I bought with no money. [00:14:51] Gabriel Hamel: And so with the mobile home, with the mobile home parks just like with a small multifamily was. properties that were poorly managed under rented. I don't think the mobile home park space is necessarily better than other asset classes. People find success in single family, multifamily land apartment. I mean, any asset class, people are finding success. [00:15:10] Gabriel Hamel: I just chose one that made sense to me. I saw cap rates being condensed in the multifamily space, and it's an asset that I felt like I could add value and create, an upside. I buy with the hard money I buy with seller financing based on how the property's performing today. I make sure the numbers work today, and I don't rely on that upside. [00:15:29] Gabriel Hamel: I just know that upside's there from the experience. And so I do actualize it upside. I just don't rely on the upside. And so same, like with the early seller finance deals I buy 'em. I improve. 'em my lower expenses. I increase revenue and I refine and get long term finance done.  [00:15:45] Sam Wilson: How are you or what risks are you incurring with the hard money? [00:15:49] Sam Wilson: I mean, my understanding or at least the hard money I've used on deals has been shorter term money. I mean, 12, 18 months. How are you cashing out your hard money? If you have to cash 'em out. What's what's that look like.  [00:16:00] Gabriel Hamel: Yeah. I mean, it's a relationship business, as I said before, like I just, I walked into the hard money lender I borrowed from. [00:16:06] Gabriel Hamel: I walked in there years before ever borrowing hard money. I probably looked like a complete crazy guy. I just went in. I was like, I wanna introduce myself. We'll probably do business together. And they're kind of shaking their like, okay. But I wanted to establish that, relationship. So, now I've borrowed millions and millions of dollars from them and I've. [00:16:20] Gabriel Hamel: Paid them a lot of interest and I've also paid them back millions and millions of dollars. And so I'm, I've shown them through experience in my word that you know that I will pay them back. I buy properties and they finance me on deals that pencil, that cash flow with the hard money. And so like a good example, those first four mobile home parks that I bought, three of 'em were hard money. [00:16:41] Gabriel Hamel: They penciled with the hard money. They were cash flow positive from day one with the hard money. And that's why they're willing to finance. and when I refinanced them out, they saw, they saw with each property. Okay. I was able to lower expenses, increase revenue. It was a good day for them. So of course they're gonna wanna keep lending me on that asset cuz I've shown them, Hey, I did what I said. [00:17:00] Gabriel Hamel: I was gonna do the property performed as I said, I was gonna do. And I was able to refi you out. So it's it's relationship and trust just like, I think any transaction from real estate,  [00:17:09] Sam Wilson: what's one piece of advice you would give to someone looking to do seller financing or looking to find seller financing deals today. [00:17:16] Gabriel Hamel: Yeah, I think the biggest thing is you have to have enough conversations, cuz I think a lot of people, there is a stigma around no sellers won't carry financing. And a lot of people that say sellers won't carry financing have never asked, have never done it. And there are sellers that, that want to carry financing. [00:17:30] Gabriel Hamel: So I think just being willing to tell people what you're looking for and asking the. Hey, would the seller, if it's an agent or broker, Hey, would the seller consider carrying financing? If you're talking directly with the seller, Hey, would you be interested in carrying financing? I talk about seller financing all the time. [00:17:48] Gabriel Hamel: And until recently I was never asked if I would ever carry financing on a deal. It wasn't until this local event, maybe two and a half years ago, this older woman raised her hand and she said Hey,, Do you, do you have any duplexes that you want to carry financing on? And at the time I said. No, but I'm going, oh my gosh, this is the first person that's ever asked me here. [00:18:08] Gabriel Hamel: I am talking about finding sellers that want to carry financing, and no one's ever asked me. And then I had a guy that I told that to and he was like, emailing me every month. Hey, do you have any homes you wanna sell or finance? Which I didn't at the time, but it's like, I want to sell him a property just because he was right. [00:18:21] Gabriel Hamel: Like asking me. So like, I think about him. I know who he is because he asks me every month. If I have a property that I wanna sell or finance and so. If you don't put it out there. No, one's gonna know. so yeah, that, that's my advice. Just speak, you gotta talk to enough people and let 'em know what you're looking for. [00:18:35] Gabriel Hamel: And just ask,  [00:18:36] Sam Wilson: just ask man. Yeah. That's that? That's great. Great advice. Certainly. Certainly appreciate that, Gabriel. Thank you for taking the time to come on the show today. This was fascinating. Just learning your story, how you have built your portfolio. I mean, There is lots of people come on, the show, myself included that, go out and raise money from other investors in order to take deals down. [00:18:54] Sam Wilson: But, it's a rare, you're a rare, fine, just as you're pointing out that you've gone out and found all of your deals via seller financing. And you're telling us here on the show today that it still works. I guess I've got one last question here on this, on, on this point, which. How many deals do you look at that when you find out they don't sell or finance that you're just like, eh, alright. [00:19:15] Sam Wilson: I'll, I mean, you got a round bin, a lot of deals in order to find one that you're even interested in. Is that right?  [00:19:19] Gabriel Hamel: Yeah, it's in, and it's, , I mean, I let enough people know that's what I'm looking for. And that will always be my first question is, Hey, are you, or is the seller interested in carrying financing? [00:19:30] Gabriel Hamel: If they are, then it's say, what kind of terms are you interested in? And I try to see, like, can I, what's important to is it prices down payment is the interest rate. It's usually one of those things that they're stuck on and it's, Hey, can I give them that? and still make the deal work for me. If it doesn't, if they don't want to carry financing, then I look at Hey would hard money make sense? [00:19:47] Gabriel Hamel: Does private money make sense? Can I make this thing work today based on the numbers? And, yeah, it's tricky. I mean, cap rates are being condensed in every asset class. I've seen a lot of properties selling that to me. Don't make a lot of financial sense. Right. You know, and so to me I don't think. [00:20:02] Gabriel Hamel: Principles of investing change in a upmarket down market sideways market. It's Hey, does this still make sense today? And so that, that's what I look at seller finance first then does private or hard money make sense? And if not, I'll pass. I am seeing a lot of properties. It's an interesting time in the market. [00:20:19] Gabriel Hamel: This the last three weeks even I've had properties sent to me every single day that are back on the market. And a lot of those are back on the market, motivated seller will seller finance. Now the terms aren't necessarily always what will work for me, but I've seen a lot more of that as of recent. [00:20:35] Gabriel Hamel: And I think we're gonna see a lot more opportunities with that as.  [00:20:38] Sam Wilson: Absolutely love it. I love your strategy. I love how you have built your portfolio. This has been super informative. Gabriel, thank you for taking the time to come on today.

Welcome to Real Estate (Un)Success Stories. Join your host Cody Lewis and our special guest, Gabriel Hamel.

Episode: 134 Gabriel Hamel Join your hosts, David Pere and Alex Felice, with their guest Gabriel Hamel as they talk about how he went from a minimum wage job to seller financing and everything else that it opened for him right after.

For him, there is practicality in karma. The more he gave, the more comes back to him in folds. A little along the line, David also shares why investors, and any individual in general, must learn how to see money for what it is – currency!   As you tune in further to this packed exchange, listen as Gabriel unfolds the most crucial factor that makes decision-making easy and about the journey he took to build time and freedom for himself and his family through the vehicle that is real estate. In all of his deals, Gabriel knew that it all comes back to the relationships he possesses and the sense of clarity that aligns him back to whatever it is that's most important.   About Gabriel Hamel:   Gabriel Hamel is a Real Estate Investor whose passion for Real Estate, Business, and Financial Freedom has helped him to amass a Multi-Million dollar Real Estate Portfolio consisting of Single Family Homes, Multi-Family Apartments, Commercial Real Estate, and Mobile Home Parks.   From humble beginnings, a book on Real Estate, and a strong desire for financial freedom, Gabriel set out to find creative ways to start purchasing income-producing investment Real Estate.

Although this is a syndication show, syndicating is by no means the only way of entering a deal. For some, the pressure of raising money, constantly liaising with investors, and the time involved, makes syndication unappealing. Not only this but oftentimes people looking to get started don't have their own capital to enter into a deal. Our guest today, Gabriel Hamel, has not let his lack of resources stop him from building up a sizable real estate portfolio. In this episode, Gabriel sheds light on how he has used no money down loans and seller-financing to acquire properties.---Our gracious sponsor: The Real Estate Investing Rocks Digital Summit will be held on March 26-28, 2020.
