Huiting Koh, Founding Managing Partner of Blueprint Ventures, and Jeremy Au discussed: 1. Solo General Partner (GP) Experience: Huiting discussed her journey as a solo GP, emphasizing the complexities of establishing Blueprint, her venture fund. She shared insights into the initial setup, overcoming challenges, and the decision-making processes involved. She also highlighted the critical learning curve she navigated, making strategic choices without complete information and trusting her instincts. 2. Gen Z vs. Generation Alpha: They analyzed evolving consumer behaviors and expectations, especially how these demographics are shaping consumer technology. They also underlined how the youngest cohorts are accustomed to artificial intelligence and digital interfaces from an early age.

Blueprint's Distinctive Strategy: Huiting articulated what sets Blueprint apart: consumer-focused investment mandate, targeted Asa verticals, and robust consumer behavioral analysis. She elaborated on the fund's approach to creating value by placing human-centric insights at the forefront of investment decisions while aiming for substantial social impact alongside financial returns. Huiting illustrated how to find sticky and impactful solutions across multiple markets.

One casualty of the shale revolution was the MLP financing model. The General Partner (GP) would typically direct its MLP to finance assets that were “dropped down” from the GP. MLP capex and M&A more than tripled from 2010 to 2015. Cash returns too often came up short of those promised, and investors lost confidence […]

In this episode, I pull back the curtain on what it truly means to be a General Partner (GP) in real estate investment. This role involves an immense amount of work, stress, and responsibility—unlike the more passive role of a Limited Partner (LP). Here's what you'll learn: Roles and Responsibilities: As a GP, you're in the thick of it, dealing with everything from deal acquisition to operational management. It's not for the faint of heart. 24/7 Commitment: Active real estate investing is a full-time job. It demands continuous effort, dedication, and involvement around the clock. Deal Acquisition: Finding the right deals requires years of relationship-building and networking with brokers, agents, and other stakeholders. Establishing credibility and trust is key. Capital Raising: Raising capital is another full-time job. It involves building relationships with investors, preparing documents, and handling financial transactions meticulously. Operational Management: Once the deal is closed, the hard work continues. Managing the property, overseeing bookkeeping, coordinating with CPAs, vendors, and property managers, and ensuring smooth operations for years to come is all part of the job. Team Building: As the business grows, hiring a team to manage different aspects becomes essential. But in the beginning, founders often handle most tasks themselves. Partner Importance: Partnering with others can distribute the workload and bring diverse skills and expertise to the table, making the process more manageable. Passion and Drive: Successful GPs are driven by a passion for building something great, not just seeking status or vanity metrics. Boot Camp Opportunity: I'm offering a boot camp to guide aspiring real estate investors through the process of finding, analyzing, and negotiating deals. Considerations for Aspiring GPs: If you're thinking about becoming a GP, carefully consider your willingness to undertake these extensive responsibilities. And if you prefer a less demanding role, being an LP might be a better fit. Join me in this episode to understand the real work behind the title and decide if you have what it takes to be a successful General Partner in real estate. Don't miss out on this deep dive into the true cost and commitment of building a real estate investment firm. For more resources and to join the boot camp, visit treuniversity.com/1deal

The landscape of venture capital is evolving, and Isomer Capital is at the forefront with its new fund designed to meet the dynamic needs of the European venture capital market.We sat down with Joe Schorge and Omolade Adebisi from Isomer to talk through the market, the strategy and the future. Well-worth a watch as we open up the deck that raised the fund and tap the brains that incept and run it. But let's get the headline numbers in place:100 M€ Fund dedicated to secondaries exclusively.65-75% of dedicated to acquiring Limited Partner (LP) interests in existing VC funds.An additional 15-25% is earmarked for direct secondaries in companies, providing crucial liquidity to stakeholders.The remaining funds, up to 15%, are reserved for discretionary investments, which may include buying stakes or carry from general partners.This strategic distribution of funds is a response to the current market conditions where many European VCs have yet to realize significant returns from their investments. These circumstances often necessitate liquidity solutions for personal reasons—such as purchasing homes or funding private education—or professional requirements like meeting General Partner (GP) commitments for raising new funds.Typical ticket sizes range from €1 million to €10 million injecting much-needed flexibility and liquidity across Europe's venture capital ecosystem and broadening Isomer's impact beyond the traditional fund of funds model to include any Europe-based fund or startup

His career began as an aerospace engineer, Charles Hamilton starting at Structural Dynamics Research Corporation (SDRC), a Computer Aided Design (CAD) company, straight out of college. During his tenure at SDRC, Charles held various positions, including sales, lead application engineer, customer service engineer, and project manager. Notably, his contributions in assisting Xerox with CAD system work processes earned him commendation and played a key role in securing Xerox as the second-largest account for SDRC upon their adoption of the CAD system. Transitioning into software development, Charles served as a project manager at Booz Allen Hamilton, Spaceworks, and Digital Harbor. At Booz Allen Hamilton, he managed projects of diverse scales, engaged in consulting, and pursued an MBA to complement his skill set. His involvement in real estate commenced after his father's passing, where Charles assumed responsibility for overseeing a 4-lot mobile home park and a single-family home rental. Drawing from his accumulated experience, his objective is to further invest in multifamily units and hotels. As a member of a team, Charles recently concluded the acquisition of a 65-unit apartment complex in Charlotte, NC. His roles in this venture include being a General Partner (GP) and a Limited Partner (LP), with the deal finalized on August 10, 2023. Additionally, he actively contributes to the asset management team for this property.
The old MLP model rarely saw stock buybacks. Traditionally the General Partner (GP) would sell assets to the MLP it controlled in a non-arms-length transaction. The MLP would issue equity and debt to pay for them. MLPs were sellers of their own units, not buyers. Today's midstream energy infrastructure sector has left that model behind. […]

Today's episode is all about the unfiltered truths of real estate that you don't typically hear on social media. I'm a firm believer in the power of real estate, but it might not make you rich as quickly as you think. First things first, real estate is a long game. It won't shower you with riches overnight. Real estate's strength is its ability to accumulate wealth steadily over time. Remember, patience is the secret ingredient.Now, let's talk about syndications. Many aspire to jump into these to build big real estate portfolios. But here's the thing…becoming a General Partner (GP) in syndications takes time before meaningful cash flow kicks in. Embrace this truth…problems are a constant in real estate. But don't be afraid because bigger problems come with bigger rewards. Finally, remember that the most complex factor in real estate – and life – is people. They're unpredictable, unique, and sometimes just plain difficult. Dealing with residents, employees, partners, and others requires patience and adaptability. People management is the heart of real estate success.LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

Many become entrepreneurs because they hate their jobs and have a burning desire to leave their 9-5. Not Mark Langdon. Because unlike many, he actually loves his job as a chemical engineer, and primarily became a real estate investor to attain that holy grail of freedom called “financial peace of mind”. And by just about anyone's account, he's certainly achieved it! Here's a small sample of what we discuss: * The #1 thing that enabled him to make the jump from single family homes to larger multifamily properties. * 3 tips on how to grow your real estate portfolio – even with a full-time W2 job. * Mark's secret to creating a “burning desire” (this is what really keeps you committed and sticking to a Game Plan!). * [Case Study] A blow-by-blow breakdown on how Mark and his partner found, funded, and sold a 112-unit value-add apartment complex – and hit a mammoth HOMERUN. * Why the multifamily game is a “team sport”. * When you should be “taking some chips off the table” (in other words, selling your properties). * Mark's simple formula for achieving true “financial peace of mind” (this is probably the safest and most secure path to financial success!). * Much, much more! More about Mark Langdon: Mark Langdon has been investing in residential real estate since 1991, and continues to work full-time as a Senior Director Project Delivery Group/Chemical Engineer performing project execution of engineering, procurement, and construction projects in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industries and is licensed as a Professional Engineer. He has a separate (Fix & Flip) real estate investment firm, Langdon Properties LLC, focused on buying distressed properties, renovating the properties, and then re-selling them. Mark is currently a General Partner (GP) and Key Principle (KP) managing multi-family apartments in the Southeast and Midwest. He is also a loan sponsor using agency debt loans (Freddie Mac/Fannie Mae) for his multi-family/rental portfolio peaking at 742 units over the last 4 years.

Currently the CEO & Founder of Elite Podcast Bookings, Matthew got started in single family homes in real estate during 2008. But then he went on a hiatus and was living and working in Los Angeles as an actor from 2010 to 2016. But he wanted to move abroad to Germany, but it was challenging with visa issues and cultural acclimation. So he moved to Thailand, then met and fell in love with his wife. In 2018, he wanted to get involved in multi-family real estate. Matthew then joined a private equity startup focusing on multi-family properties in the US, working from Thailand. Since that time period, Matthew ultimately founded his own company and invested in 700+ units. He is a General Partner (GP) on properties in Atlanta and Florida, also with a development deal in South Dakota. He started a real estate podcast focusing on multi-family while he was in Thailand and got up to 114 episodes, with many guests who were raising capital and he started working in private equity raising capital as well. In May 2020, he started Elite Podcast Bookings which specializes in helping real estate professionals raise capital for their deals. Matthew wanted to get involved in multi-family investments when he saw his mother struggle when real estate assets in her own portfolio did not perform during a downturn. So he pursued the investment route with capital funding. In this way, risk is dispersed and less likely to cause issues for any one particular investor. A solid way to approach raising capital is to present that you are adding value to the proposal. Asking for money is a weak approach–presenting the ways you add value and why the investment is a good deal with the right team puts the real estate professional in the best position to gain capital for investments. Keep in mind that investors will check out everything about you. What does your digital presence look like? What about your social media? Your website? The equipment in your office? If your user experience is not positive, it will put off investors. Importantly, there are certain parameters when it comes to investments and offerings relating to how the securities are registered. You should consult with your attorney and be certain you understand the regulations and requirements before you develop any communications or activities around investments, capital, and real estate.

He then went on to be a sales representative for a building supplies company (Dependable Plastics). He was promoted to business development manager, where he supervised and grew a sales team that grossed over 5 million annually in sales. After meeting many successful real estate professionals on the job, Pinny was inspired and decided to begin his own entrepreneurial journey. He began in 2019 by purchasing his first real estate deal, a single-family home in Pennsylvania. Concluding that he would have to acquire hundreds of such properties to reach his goals of financial freedom, he decided that multifamily syndication would be the more efficient vehicle to help him reach his goals. Today Pinny is truly enthusiastic about multifamily syndication and has made it his mission to help as many people as possible achieve financial freedom, thus enabling them to pursue their true passions in life. Outside of real estate, Pinny is a gym rat, loves the outdoors, and enjoys baseball, swimming, and hiking. To connect with Pinny Lubinsky.

Sponsor: Juniper Square Every industry has their own language with acronyms, industry terminology, and jargon. Real estate is no different. In this podcast for real estate investors, I go through the key terms anyone new to the market needs to know. First and foremost you need to know what Net Operating Income (NOI) is. It is the almighty factor and standard profitability for a property. For the most part, it is consistent as it is your Top Line Revenue minus Property Expenses. Yes, these are affected by management and tenants, but it does not take into account the variety of other variables that COC does. Now, Cash on Cash (COC) is the return on a property, which does depend on leverage, capital reserves, debt service payments, AUM fees, deal related fees, etc. In short, there are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the COC. Second most important term is Cap Rate. Cap Rate a way to look at the yield on a property if it is unlevered? There are a ton of different terms when it comes to Cap Rate because of the various nuances that are simply based on what time you are looking at in a property's life span. The two main types of Cap Rate you need to be concerned with are: In Place Cap Rate, which is what has happened within the last 12 months of a property, and Going in Cap Rate, which looks at the first year of operations as an estimate and projection. An Unlevered Yield is when no debts are on a property and explains what the return percentage on a property is. In other words, it's another way to look at Cap Rate, but in a percentage. Pro Forma is the cash flow projection month by month and Underwriting is a way of creating a Pro Forma document. There are a lot of assumptions made in both these processes--any projection is and any bank and investor wants to see these numbers when considering a property. Who are the Real Estate Actors when it comes to organizing and participating in a deal? There are two main players: the General Partner (GP) and Limited Partner (LP). The GP is the sponsor in real estate private equity. They find and organize the deal, executing it and doing the work, which is what I do. The LP are simply investors. They put their cash into the deal. GPs raise their money from LPs. Debt Service is the principal and interest payments on a loan and any related expenses, while the Lease Up Period is the time it takes for tenants to rent up your space before you reach maximum occupancy--the time frame in which you get new customers. Now, throughout the podcast we'll be talking about Asset Classes, or the type of real estate investments. There are a number of them: self storage (which is what I'm involved in with my company Bolt Storage), mobile home parks, industrial real estate, family, single family, medical office, etc.. Every Asset Class has their pros and cons, so be aware of them when pursuing an Asset Class. Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) is the last major term and is the relation of the NOI to the total debt-service obligation you have on a property with principal and interest. Most banks have a comfortable number they like to stay with when considering DSCR and is another variable to consider when planning out your real estate investment strategies.
My guest today is Latif Peracha, General Partner (GP) at M13. M13 is a venture capital firm focused on building a team of industry-leading operating executives to help founders make better decisions and win in their category.

This episode is also available as a blog post: https://10leaves.ae/publications/luxembourg/special-limited-partnership-in-luxembourg What is a Special Limited Partnership, or Luxembourg SLP? The SLP is an unregulated Alternative Investment Fund, that can be incorporated in Luxembourg by: one General Partner (GP) – the fund manager; and one Limited Partner (LP) – the investor The Luxembourg SLP structure has been modelled on partnerships that can be setup in other jurisdictions such as United States, United Kingdom and the Cayman Islands. Their strategies are usually illiquid, and typical investments are made in real estate, PE or the debt markets. However, there are no restrictions on the asset classes, or on the fund strategies. A Limited Partnership Agreement governs the functioning of the SLP and gives the fund the contractual flexibility to organise the fund structure. An SLP is not restricted to any asset class, nor is it subject to risk diversification rules. There are more than 2,600 SLPs that were set up in Luxembourg between 2016 and 2019. Who manages a Luxembourg SLP? The Luxembourg SLP appoints a General Partner, usually a private limited company also established in Luxembourg, to manage and monitor the fund on behalf of the investors, or Limited Partners. A GP has unlimited liability for all obligations of the Luxembourg SLP, and hence it is usually a distinct legal entity.
Originally from Denmark, Jens Nielsen has lived in the United States since 1996. After a successful career in telecommunications and IT, Jens shifted his focus from being an employee to becoming an entrepreneur.

Jens mission is to help more people invest in private placements for the strong cash flow and equity growth. His company's mission is to "Open Doors to your secure financial future through multifamily investing." Jens Nielsen joins John Carney today in The Real Estate Locker Room to talk about the real estate syndication process.
