Ira Zlotowitz joins KOLOT to discuss his departure from Yeshiva and entry into the world of commercial real estate. We discuss the challenges of learning in Kollel and then having the instant need of making a living immediately leaving Kollel. Ira also gives his take how the commercial real estate industry has changed, will not go 'back to normal' so quickly and how GParency is the way forward. Lastly, we discuss the legacy of his father, Rabbi Meir Zlotowitz zt'l, Founder of Artscroll Publications, and how he and his siblings watched their father change the world of Torah learning. This episode was recorded several weeks ago and subsequently Ira's mother, Mrs. Rachel Zlotowitz passed away. The Columbus Community Kollel dedicates this episode in her memory and we pay tribute to her at the beginning of this episode.

Today's Flash Back Friday Episode is from Episode #239, which originally aired on July 23, 2019. In this episode of the Real Estate Investing for Cashflow podcast, Kevin welcomes commercial real estate and finance expert, Ira Zlotowitz. Ira is the founder and president of Eastern Union Funding, one of the largest national real estate firm with over a hundred real estate professionals and they have closed more than $2.5 billion in just the last twelve months. Ira talks about Eastern Union Funding as well as one of his more recent ventures, The Ira Group and shares how he built one of the largest brokerages in the country. He explains how lending can actually help in commercial real estate investment and clarifies the advantages of investing from the debt side of things in lieu of the usual syndicated equity investments. Kevin and Ira also discuss how one can be successful in commercial real estate. QUOTES: “Over time we grew into all other deals, but we don't forget our roots and we start this way, we find our niche and we double down on that area.” “As Eastern Union as the broker, we'll typically work through full transactions, some look at $5 million, $3million or $100 million, we'll find a lender for that sorts. Through the Ira group, it's when the lender is looking for participation in loans, primarily bridge loans..” “I'm gonna bring people that want to participate into loans and bring them to crowdfunding platforms or to individual lenders throughout the country.” “What I also tell people is that the best deal that you should probably start with, if you're about to invest equity in the deal, if you're starting a bit nervous then it might be overpriced, maybe you can sit on that same deal and go to the debt side of that deal.” “You only want to try to do deals that the initial term are officially only twelve months.” HIGHLIGHTS 8:02 Ira's background and the Ira group 13:10 Ideal investor 19:01 Roadblocks in understanding debt in investment 24:04 Time span of bridge loans 27:26 Ira talks about staying focused, knowing one's strengths and weaknesses Recommended Resources:  Accredited Investors, you're invited to Join the Cashflow Investor Club to learn how you can partner with Kevin Bupp on current and upcoming opportunities to create passive cash flow and build wealth.

We all want to advance in our careers, but to do that means understanding how we can add the greatest value that we can to the organization.

Just as people borrowing money from financial institutions have their own point-of-view about how systems work or should work, so do those same financial institutions. The lender’s perspective is one of safety, security, and risk prevention in order to make sure that money ends up in the hands of those who can pay them back and even make them money in turn. Ira Zlotowitz explores the perspective that lending institutions take when evaluating those that are applying for loans. There are, of course, a bevy of factors to take into account when you apply for a loan. Let Ira talk you through these different factors and how you can get better standing among these lending institutions in order to secure your financing.

Working in real estate, you encounter different sorts of people with their own kinds of practices, but the one thing that connects all of them is that they function under the purview of documents that, by law, they are bound to. Working with contracts can be a bit of a struggle if you’re not familiar with them, but that is why there are people out there whose jobs entail helping others navigate the often muddy world of contracts. Ira Zlotowitz discusses the essentials of working under these documents, and which ones you should be aware of. If you’re new to contracts, then you definitely shouldn’t miss this as Ira has plenty to share that will help make contracts a lot less overwhelming.

It’s an often less-understood topic in real estate, but financial structuring is an essential tool in a real estate professional’s toolkit. Financial structuring will make all the difference in whether a deal will ultimately work out in your favor, or if you’ll end up with a not-so-great deal. Ira Zlotowitz dives into what you need to know about creative financial structuring and determining whether a deal is good for you. Don’t let yourself fall behind on this important field of knowledge. Let Ira help you find a better understanding of financial structuring.

In real estate, you will only make money when you close. That is why doing your due diligence will keep you from wasting your time on deals that can't be completed. In this episode, host, Ira Zlotowitz, breaks down the three most important questions to ask your investors before considering a deal with them. No matter how great the deals seem to be, when they are not with the right investors, at the right price, and with the returns you need, then they won't matter in the long run. Tune into this great episode to learn how to make good use of your time investing.

The youngest president of any top 10 mortgage brokerage, he took the commercial real estate industry by storm at the age of 21. From then on he has continued to establish himself as an innovator who has defined the industry, earning numerous accolades such as Crain's “Forty Under 40.” His story starts at Meridian Capital, where he directly helped the company from $300 million in loans closed to over $3 billion just four years later. In 2001, Ira Zlotowitz co-founded Eastern Union, which has grown from a four-person Brooklyn office into a 100-person firm closing roughly $5 billion in national loan volume last year. --------------- You can connect with Ira via; Email: iraz@easternunion.com Text/WhatsApp: 1-917-597-2197 Eastern Union: easternunion.com Peaking Your Interest podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/3WXDA3nwuxBQlEIkUsXODt?si=HrgsU6mYQAyUicsU4PLGrQ --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Regardless of what you already know, you always start from the beginning. In this episode, Ira Zlotowitz tackles one of the most important chapters of core real estate, underwriting the deal. Learn about the numbers in your transaction and the different line items in your deal from top to bottom. Get to know the profits and expenses that should be included when your underwriting and why having a person you trust who has the expertise and knowledge of each line item is critical for you to be able to discuss and understand each item in detail and leverage this knowledge to your advantage. Lastly, as with any business you're looking to acquire, learn some tips on how you can conduct your due diligence efficiently and effectively.

Getting into the real estate industry, it is critical to know the different property types and their descriptions. In this episode, Ira Zlotowitz teaches us how to differentiate residential properties from commercial properties. He also digs deeper into commercial real estate property types as he discusses the pros and cons of each type. Start to know the difference and learn which property type suits your real estate needs best.

Rounding out your understanding of different perspectives in investing is absolutely essential to being able to gracefully navigate the industry of investing as a whole. One of these must-understand perspectives is that of the syndicator: investors who purchase properties using other people’s money. Ira Zlotowitz navigates the viewpoint of syndicators when it comes to using the money they’ve raised to make investments. Because syndicators have become such a huge part of the investment industry ecosystem, it’s important to understand their perspective – why they do the things they do. Learn more about syndicators here!

There are many unique perspectives on investing out there because of the wealth of backgrounds that people who go into investment come from. But when you’re on the other side helping someone else invest, you always have to make sure you’re looking at an investment from the eyes of the investor—considering everything to help them make a decision that’s good for them. Ira Zlotowitz approaches investing not from the perspective of an expert, but of a regular investor. What do people think about when they measure up their investments? Make sure you keep informed about what it is that others are considering before going into their own investments.

The real estate business can often be byzantine and difficult to comprehend, and you wouldn’t be alone in thinking that. But under the wing of someone who has years of experience in the industry, it’s not so hard or lonely. Ira Zlotowitz gives you a Real Estate 101 here on the first episode of Peaking Your Interest. If you’ve ever found yourself hesitant about entering the industry because of the difficulty of the concepts, now’s your chance to change that. Your journey to real estate success begins here.

We all know that a good team can make or break a business. But do you ever wish you could simply clone yourself and create a team of people just as motivated, knowledgeable, and passionate about your business as you are? Ira Zlotowitz, the founder and president of Eastern Union Funding, knows a thing or two about building and sustaining high-performing teams; he grew his own business from a four-person office to a company of over 100 people, closing roughly $5 billion in national loan volume in 2019 alone.

Ira Zlotowitz, Founder and President of Eastern Union Funding, to me personifies what a Frum Entrepreneur is.

I heard of two deals recently that ended up going south after the lender apparently did not come through with the loan. Upon closer inspection, though, it was ignorance by the sponsor about how the lender would underwrite the deal, i.e. how they would value the asset and determine the LTV, for example. Or what they require of the sponsor. Or that they require (gasp!) a capital reserve at closing. All of these materially alter the deal and need to be understood upfront. To avoid these mistakes, it's imperative that you "interview" your commercial mortgage brokers so that you understand how they underwrite deals and they will require of you. Then you can incorporate those assumptions into your financial model (i.e. the SDA) and you won't be taken by surprise a few weeks before closing. In my course "The Ultimate Guide to Buying Apartment Buildings with Private" I have a list of 10 questions to ask your commercial mortgage brokers. What I wanted to do in this episode is actually interview a broker and ask them the 10 questions. That way, you know the questions to ask and you'll also get an idea of what answers  you can expect. To help us with this exercise, I have on the call Ira Zlotowitz, founder and president of Eastern Union Funding and Shai Romirowsky, VP at Eastern Union Funding.
