Chris is a Founder of JAG Communities which is a vertically integrated Multifamily focused investment firm. Chris and His company believe that prioritizing the resident experience and making it as high quality as possible, will lead to an unbelievable experience for all their partners involved. [00:00 - 07:44]Opening Segment Chris Grenzig from Jag communities is a friend of Nico's and they've been communicating for a couple of years. Chris started his roots in New York but has now moved to Jacksonville, Florida. Since he left Toro, Chris has been buying and renovating small deals. In November 2020, Chris bought his own deal and started a vertically integrated company focused on small to mid-size multifamily deals. Since then, Chris has bought four more existing deals for a total of 72 units. He also has a two-and-a-half-acre site [07:44 - 16:10]New Multi-Family Project in Low-Density Town Gets Approved A conditional variance to build an apartment was ultimately denied. Their backup plan is to build 18 or 19 townhomes on a parcel of land for $20,000 per unit. The possibility of rezoning the property to create multiple types of housing, including apartments. [16:10 - 27:50] Average Rent Increases Mean Deals in Jacksonville Are Becoming More Competitive Average rents were around $1,500 per month in 2016, but the property was purchased for $156 per square foot. The current plan is to add washer and dryer connections to every unit, stackable units in attic access, and increase electrical service. There is a problem with increasing electrical service because a custom meter bank must be ordered and the supplier would not give a price or timeline until the order was placed. The goal is to create assets that outperform the market, but not turn around and sell them right away.

You might not know it from listening to the dedication and focus, but this week's guest Chris is actually a very young guy. Early on in his investment career, after leaving his full-time job and finally finding his footing, Chris realized the only way for him to truly measure his success was to (in his own words) "vertically integrate" to truly know every part of his business. This allowed him to find people that he truly values working with, and in return, creates an environment that they truly want to work in. You'll love hearing Chris Grenzig's philosophies on what makes someone a good boss and what he envisions in the next ten years.

Today, I'm speaking with Chris Grenzig. Chris began his real estate investing journey in 2016 by attempting to flip houses on Long Island NY, but ultimately failed to flip a single property despite spending tens of thousands of dollars and several months trying. Instead of giving up, he shifted his focus to multifamily real estate and started by investing passively in an 8-unit property, then joint venturing on another 100 units worth over $4.5M. Chris's experience landed him a job with Toro Real Estate Partners, which gave him an opportunity to learn from experienced investors. Over the course of 4 years, he became responsible for overseeing all of their Florida portfolio which consisted of 7 properties, totaling roughly 1,000 units worth $70M. In 2020, Chris's persistence in the real estate investing game finally paid off as he ventured out on his own and founded JAG Communities — a vertically integrated multifamily investment firm that specializes in creating an exceptional living experience for residents. In this conversation, Chris walks us through his journey, from failing to flip houses to quitting his job and making a way in multifamily real estate. You'll also hear us dissect his first two deals, including a 16 unit and 24 unit property, along with his 10 year plan for reaching $500 AUM!
