Check it out below: Jeff Love (00:00:00) - And really understanding what you're getting from your contractor because and there's pros and cons to all of them. You know, the cost plus contract, you know, typically tell investors and clients, look, basically the contractor is passing on the cost to you, plus their premium, which is their profit and which is nothing wrong with it at all. But you got to understand that there is no maximum price if prices increase, their costs increase. So to yours. So you need to make sure you understand that and work that into your budget and your business plan. Welcome to the How to Scale Commercial Real Estate Show. Whether you are an active or passive investor, we'll teach you how to scale your real estate investing business into something big. Jeff Love is a partner at Gibbs Garden, which has been named one of the best law firms in the US for construction law, construction litigation and real estate law by US News. Jeff, welcome to the show. Thanks for having me. Absolutely. The pleasure is mine.   Jeff Love (00:00:56) - Jeff There are three questions I ask every guest who comes on the show in 90s or less. Can you tell me where did you start? Where are you now and how did you get there? I started with building blocks when I was when I was a little dude, apparently. I've always liked real estate, wanted to get into real estate. Once college, UCLA thought, Hey, why not go to law school to learn about contracts? I could, you know, help me be a real estate developer. I went to law school, realized I actually like helping investors more than doing it myself, kind of like being behind the scenes, different clients, different stages. So instead of pivoting to be the real estate developer after a couple of years, which was my plan ten years later, I am a real estate transactional attorney dealing with corporate issues, securities issues and everything real estate from your mom and pop investor to your large national syndicator. Wow, That's a that's a lot to deal with. What's your favorite part about what you do? I like to think really helping investors.   Jeff Love (00:01:53) - You know, a lot of times they come to me. It's their first project. You know, they've listened to a podcast. They say, you know, I'm a successful doctor, but I want to invest in this ten unit multifamily building and helping them do it, avoiding the pitfalls and really seeing them grow, not just real estate, but, you know, other clients companies we have seeing them start, you know, ten years later what they've been able to achieve. That's really the cool thing for me. That's awesome. What are some of the what are some of the common things that people come to you with? And you say, all right, here's how to go back and get your ducks in a row before you come back to me. Are there are there some things that you see repeated over and over that you're helping these first time people kind of that are venturing into larger scale commercial projects that you can help us kind of short circuit some of that. Yeah, and it's common sense, but it's it's hard to know what you don't know.   Jeff Love (00:02:42) - Right? So the first thing I tell people is, you know, having your team in place, you've watched podcasts, you've you've read about it, you may be owning your home, but it's different when you get into kind of commercial real estate or investment real estate. And you really need to have a good insurance broker. You need to have an accountant that understands what you're doing, especially if you have investors and you're offering some type of preferred return. You need to have good real estate broker helping you find those deals. Oftentimes a good attorney that can help you make sure that you're protecting your other assets. So what I tell a lot of first time investors is make sure you have a good team around you so they can help you with the things that you don't know and you rely on your strengths. You rely on your advisors to help you, just like you would in any other facet of life. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. So you work on everything from, like you said, mom and pop large scale syndications.   Jeff Love (00:03:35) - You really love the kind of first timer and watching them, watching them grow through that process. What does it look like for you? You invest as well in real estate. So what's it like on the legal side? You know, as you look at investments that you're getting into reverse, to say a lot of the times when it's me personally, I don't read half the agreements. I'm like, Oh, it's just me. No one's really relying on me. So I'm like, just sign on the dotted line. But, you know, we invest in multifamily. It's something that, you know, I like that. I like a lot of different asset classes. But for me, that's one that my wife and I, you know, kind of we understand, you know, we're not having to do allowances or brokers and manage kind of commercial. Everyone needs somewhere to live and we invest locally. So I'm in Redondo Beach City, right. You know, about 30 minutes south of LAX in Los Angeles.   Jeff Love (00:04:24) - And we're reinvest in the city where we lived. We were renters. So we kind of know what things rent for, what we looked for. We can kind of manage it ourselves. I can lease, you know, show it, I can lease it. And what we did is really thought, you know, the buildings that we have are not as much for cash flow, which is really hard in Los Angeles, if not most of California, but appreciation. And we we've done it structured it in a way where we've kind of gifted our kids, you know, small interests every year. So eventually, you know, it gets it out of our estate for estate planning purposes. But it also helps them, you know, kind of get their feet wet. They're really little now, but as they grow, they'll they'll have little portions of these buildings, hopefully spur the bug with them and kind of save that for them or their retirement one day. Right? Oh, that's.   Sam Wilson(00:05:13) - Really, really cool.   Sam Wilson(00:05:14) - So I guess you probably never want to hear your attorney say you don't read all of it, but I bet you read. I bet you read the important parts. Are there things that you really focus in on when you do dig into the documents?   Jeff Love (00:05:26) - I do. So a lot of times there's certain things that I've seen a thousand times, you know? So those are the ones that I probably don't read. It probably should. But reading for clients, but myself, you know, I've seen them over and over again, but with multifamily in particular, you know, also retail. You could make the case for any tenant is really looking at a tenant estoppel certificate in the leases because a lot of times, especially with smaller buildings, you may have ideals. A landlord may have promised a tenant certain things, you know, they could stay there for another year, but it's not in the lease. And myself or client as an investor, I want to know exactly what I'm buying. So what a tenant estoppel certificate does is it makes the tenant basically confirm certain statements in the lease.   Jeff Love (00:06:12) - This is the rent, this is the term. There's no defaults. So that once I close, I buy the building. I know what I'm getting. The tenant can't come to me later and say, you know, sorry, you know, the old landlord said, I have a five year lease at a thousand bucks a month when it was supposed to be a one year lease for $10,000 a month. That's a big difference. The problem is I can always go after the seller, but then I'm stuck with that tenant and depending on what my investment plan is, I may have wanted to try to get the building vacant because it was a one year lease. That really protects me and just make sure I know exactly what I'm buying and I know that what is in the lease is actually the terms.   Sam Wilson(00:06:53) - Now, that that would, I would think, help me clarify this, but that would work on a maybe single tenant situation. Or is this something where you ask for a review of these leases before you ever close and actually look for those things and then put that tenant estoppel in place? Is that is that even word that correctly or am I missing something?   Jeff Love (00:07:13) - No, you did.   Jeff Love (00:07:14) - And it's it's it's more practical and, you know, kind of the more tenants you get because then you have all these different leases to review Terms may have changed. I could get it for a multifamily building, for a retail shopping center, industrial building. I really want I just want to know if the lease that I'm getting, which is a very important part of commercial real estate, you know, is accurate and there's no side deals.   Sam Wilson(00:07:38) - Right? And so you sign that estoppel certificate or the seller signs that estoppel certificate, is that right? Saying, hey, look, these are the terms and then you can come after me If we find out post closed that there are terms with other tenants that vary from what I've defined here.   Jeff Love (00:07:56) - Sometimes it's a seller. Even better is having the actual tenant sign it because if the tenant doesn't sign it, I have a claim against the seller because it's not accurate. But the tenant, if this was the deal, the tenants, you know their in their right to stay.   Jeff Love (00:08:12) - So I typically want the tenant to tell me that everything and this is accurate. If can't get that for whatever reason, then I'll have the seller sign it. But one of the two parties and that protects me as the buyer.   Sam Wilson(00:08:24) - So let's assume it's a 200 unit multifamily complex. How do you practically get the tenants to sign all of this if it's not? How do you how does that work? Like, how do you get that in writing from the tenants before you close?   Jeff Love (00:08:39) - Usually it's a requirement of the lease, but when you get to that scale, there are going to be some tenants you just can't track down. So when you get to 50, 100, 200 units, it may be a certain threshold seller is going to be required to get 75%, 80% of the tenants to sign the estoppel certificate for those that they can't get, the seller is going to sign the remaining, say, 20% because it's just not going to happen. If I have a 200 unit building, I'm just some tenants going to be gone.   Jeff Love (00:09:04) - I'm not going to track them down. I'm not going to blow the deal over that. But I want the majority of them to sign it. That's something that's usually negotiated as part of a purchase agreement when you get to that type of large, large scale. But most multifamily leases, most leases in general, I should say, have a requirement that a tenant is going to sign an estoppel certificate. Because a lot of times if you're getting commercial debt, the lender is going to want to see it as well. Got it.   Sam Wilson(00:09:30) - Got it. Okay. That's that's really, really interesting. So there should be already an agreement in place in the lease that the tenant says, hey, look, if I need to sign this certificate, I will when that time comes. Or is it signed? Typically when they sign the lease.   Jeff Love (00:09:46) - It is signed. When that time comes, usually they have ten days to do it and you'll be doing that. Seller will usually do that during the process and that'll be one of the last items of due diligence.   Sam Wilson(00:09:56) - How often do you feel like this important step is skipped?   Jeff Love (00:10:01) - A lot, especially with smaller buildings and, you know, smaller, you know, maybe you talk to the tenant, you know, but you just, you know, you never know. And that's the problem, especially depending on what you're doing with the property. You know, if you're buying it for, you know, long term investment, maybe it's not as big of a deal. But if your strategy is, you know, I'm going to buy it, I'm going to, you know, rehab it tenant might leave, you know, rent it for a higher amount, then it's a big problem. If that one tenant's, you know, in there for five years and you didn't know about that. So I think it is overlooked but it is an important aspect of do your due diligence process for any real estate acquisition, along with, you know, environmental and tidal issues that we should be looking at as well.   Sam Wilson(00:10:44) - Yeah, absolutely.   Sam Wilson(00:10:45) - No, that's a great that's a great nugget. And these are things that when you look at a deal as a passive investor, you say, hey, I want to I want to find out, you know, do we have these estoppel certificates? I think if I'm using the right terminology here, do we have those signed?   Jeff Love (00:11:01) - You are. And yes, yes, you should.   Sam Wilson(00:11:03) - Okay, That's cool. Wow. I have I learned something new here today as a passive investor myself in multiple multifamily deals. I can't say I've ever asked that question. So there we go. Tip pro tip from Jeff Love here today. For those of you who are listening, that's that's awesome. Thank you for sharing really the inside scoop on that and what some of the things are that you look for. Let's talk a little bit about construction. I know there in your bio we mentioned the word construction. You guys handle a lot of things on the construction side of it. When I say that and you talk about commercial real estate construction, give us kind of some inside scoops on what it is you're looking for there, how you help clients out, common pitfalls, all of those things.   Jeff Love (00:11:45) - Starting from the beginning. I think it's, you know, a lot of times, you know, maybe we do residential construction on our own home. But when you start investing and you have larger deals, the construction becomes kind of a different animal, so to speak. The first thing, you know, a lot of clients come to me and they don't understand is the different types of construction contracts that are just out there and what's the difference between a cost plus versus a guaranteed maximum price called sometimes you hear it called a gap and really understanding what you're getting from your contractor because and there's pros and cons to all of them. You know, the cost plus contract, you know, typically tell investors and clients, look, basically the contractor is passing on the cost to you, plus their premium, which is their profit and which is nothing wrong with it at all. But you got to understand that there is no maximum price if prices increase, their costs increase. So to yours. So you need to make sure you understand that and work that into your budget and your business plan, especially lately with inflation and rising costs.   Jeff Love (00:12:46) - Really something to think about. And on the other side, I'll tell clients, well, yes, you could have a gap, which is it's my fixed price, but if the contractor has a fixed price, are they going to be cutting corners because they can get things cheaper? Is it the quality that you want and you expect or is it a different type of materials that they're using that you weren't expecting? So the first most important and probably most important thing is just to understand the relationship with the contractor, what you're getting from them, how they're billing it and how that's documented in a contract so that there are no surprises later on.   Sam Wilson(00:13:23) - Yeah, I would imagine. I would imagine so. Yeah, there are. I mean, I've been a been a contractor and have contracted a lot in my life. And you're right, there's there's costs or there's benefits to both. I think the cost plus one, like you said, there's no maximum price. And it's and it's in its own right. I like it.   Sam Wilson(00:13:41) - But it's also. You're basically giving your contractor a blank check. All right. Right. Hey, man, you know what and where? Ordinarily, if there's a maxed or a max price in the deal where they say, okay, you know what, maybe we don't have to order an extra, you know, truckload of whatever it is, OSB or whatever the project is. I'm just dreaming out loud here. But whereas if it's like, hey, it's cost plus it's like, yeah, sure, we'll take an extra semi load of OSB because maybe we'll need it when we're doing roofing repairs or whatever it is we're up against and oh well, just tack it on and there goes an extra 20 grand. No big deal. Right. So it's it's, it's a, it's a catch, a catch 22 there. On which way is the absolute right way to do it. What are some common not maybe the disputes isn't the wrong word but common uh things you see people getting wrong in that contract side of things that could have been worked out ahead of time.   Jeff Love (00:14:35) - I don't know that would say getting wrong. A lot of times we'll use, you know, form as American Institute of Architects that are kind of common forms out in California and are pre-printed, but just not understanding the contract. You know, one of the big ones that we get, you know, defaults and kind of disputes over are termination clauses because timing is a huge issue. You know, I've got investors or even for myself, you know, I'm losing rent because I'm waiting for this to be done. And the contractor, for whatever reason, not not putting on the contractor, but they're delays. That could be the you know, the contractor is understaffed or can't get the subs out there. It could be materials. They're not coming in. But as the owner, you know, I may not be fully informed and just. I don't understand what's taking so long. So making sure you understand that. And if it doesn't work out, what does the termination section look like? I had a client, you know, a couple of weeks ago that was entering into, you know, rather small contract.   Jeff Love (00:15:35) - But, you know, for what it was, it was, you know, maybe, you know, a couple million dollars, but it was for a single family residence. And what this contract had is it had a fixed fee. It was cost plus. But the contractor basically had a fixed fee in there of $200,000 that no matter when I terminated the deal, if for any reason, no reason, he got that $200,000. So to me and to the client, he had no idea that was in there and said, Well, you know what? If I just want to, you know, stop and flip the property, I've got a lot of interest. I said, If you sign this tomorrow, you owe your contractor $200,000, right? So making sure, you know, is there something like that in there or is it more common where if I terminate, I'll pay my contractor everything I owe him to date? You know, maybe there's some lost profit, but I'm not on the hook for the whole thing and that I understand that because those delays do lead a lot of times to default and desires to terminate.   Jeff Love (00:16:33) - And that's where we see a lot of disputes between both sides.   Sam Wilson(00:16:37) - Yeah, I can only imagine. And again, coming at it from I mean, I've been on both sides of the equation, both the the contractor doing the work in a previous life and then also the one now as the as the contractor or the general contractor, if you will, or the property owner, rather, that is, you know, contracting this this work out. And you do run into delays, be it. My problem, be it their problem, be it other subs, be it weather, be it all these things. And I think I think what I'm hearing you say and tell me if I'm wrong, but is that it's just imperative to have a clear line of communication where you guys are talking back and forth saying, hey, this is why we're slowing down. This is why it's taking more time. There is. And do you recommend if that conversation does happen, is it important to get those things in writing?   Jeff Love (00:17:22) - Absolutely.   Jeff Love (00:17:23) - And that's probably, if not the most biggest takeaway. You know, those listeners can communicate in every single deal because most of the problems that we have, you know, when it gets to litigation and I'll bring one of my partners say, hey, this dispute, I can't handle it now. It's not transactional. It's litigation because you can communicate whether you're contractor, you're investors, you know, whatever party it is, they didn't know what was going on, so you left them with no choice. So to your construction contract is communicate. And if there is something that changes or documenting it, you know, put it in an email, have the conversation, you know, a phone call and then follow up with an email, just, you know, confirming what we talked about. So you have that paper trail if it ever becomes an issue. And hopefully it wasn't, because now you guys you talked through it. You everyone is aware of what's going on and no one's left in the dark.   Sam Wilson(00:18:14) - Yeah, absolutely.   Sam Wilson(00:18:16) - Absolutely. Cool. We've talked about a lot of really great stuff here so far. We've talked about the Estoppel certificates and what you look for in opportunities. We've talked about construction and just kind of some things we should be looking for and how to how to avoid the common problems that happen on large scale commercial projects. Is there anything else that comes to mind, I guess, from the legal side of things that you think about that you say, man, here's here's the way the world is changing or stuff that you are making sure are now in deal decks or or pens maybe that weren't there a year ago. Anything any new updates on that front?   Jeff Love (00:18:50) - It's a timing is a big one. I think the last couple of years when things really slowed down have showed us, you know, things take longer. A lot of times now with clients, purchase agreements, leases, we're kind of building in extra kind of contingency periods, so to speak, because I can't get someone I can't get my inspector out there.   Jeff Love (00:19:12) - He's taking longer. I've had a number of clients kind of run up against hard deadlines where they're, you know, in a purchase agreement, they're forced to waive contingencies and risk their money being non-refundable, but they haven't been able to get everything done. And seller or buyer aren't cooperative. So we're really just kind of thinking that things from a 10,000 foot level and saying, can I get this done in this time period? Can I raise money from investors? Can I get my lender to respond? Can I get my property inspector out there? And if not, you know, working in can have a 30 day extension, even if I have to pay for it to make sure that that doesn't affect my deal. And that really goes across the real estate spectrum is making sure that you have adequate timing for what you need. Things are moving slower. Make sure that you're going to be prepared for that.   Sam Wilson(00:19:58) - I think that's a great word. It's funny you say that because even yesterday we're sending out some LOI.   Sam Wilson(00:20:04) - We kind of had a verbal agreements on things and we were changing the timelines. It was just like before it was, you know, 30 days and maybe it was 15 days, 30 days to close. And now it's, you know what we're doing 30 and 30 with a 15 day extension on the due diligence period, due diligence period, because all of the above things you just mentioned. And so it was funny just having that conversation yesterday afternoon, just slowing things down, saying, you know what, we're going to we're going to need more time for all of the aforementioned reasons. So thanks. Thanks for pointing that out because that is something that probably even six months ago I wouldn't have thought was really going to be an issue. But now it is. It's just it's just taking everybody surveyors, you name it. I mean, oh, sorry. We're four weeks out. We'll shoot. We're under. I mean, what do you do? You just you got to just, you know, get in line and wait.   Sam Wilson(00:20:51) - So. That's right. That's the way it goes. Well, Jeff, thank you for taking the time to come on the show here today.

Yes - there is a way that you can land on the terms that you're seeking without being difficult. What's the saying - you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar? In this episode, we discuss negotiating real estate deals and partnerships in a fair and effective manner that protects your interests without being aggressive or bullying. Jeff recommends such helpful tips as thoroughly checking titles, surveys, environmental issues, and tenant estoppel certificates when doing due diligence for commercial property purchases. For new investors, this is a must-listen. Learn why Jeff recommends hiring a real estate attorney to negotiate on your behalf, avoiding potential pitfalls and protecting you in case issues arise later in the transaction. How you protect yourself when partnering with another investor? How do you structure partnership agreements that work for everyone involved? What should you look out for in commercial property due diligence? We answer all of these questions in more, as well as learn about Jeff's own career path and interests outside of the law, including coaching his son's little league baseball team. Things we discussed in this episode: Negotiating real estate deals and partnerships in a fair and effective manner. Meeting the other side halfway where possible. Using qualifiers like "to my knowledge" to compromise while still protecting yourself. Focusing on getting the deal done. When buying property, focusing on representations and limitation of liability clauses to understand what the seller knows and cap their liability in case of issues. Concentrating on representations and limitation of liability clauses when buying property. Doing thorough due diligence for commercial deals like title searches, surveys, and tenant estoppel certificates. Using buy-sell agreements in partnerships to outline what happens in different scenarios. Hiring a real estate attorney to negotiate deals, avoid issues, and protect you.

Tune in for a quick recap on the final two episodes of Love Island USA! After Naomi and Katy unpack what the heck happened with Jeff, they dive into all the mushy gushy goodness of our Season 3 finalists. Join them to hear their very much un-fresh, stale and average perspective that Deb and Jesse are adorable, Sydney and Isaiah are toxic in a fun way, and obviously that Timmy and Zeta are perfect.

This episode is a re-publication of a seminar organised by the research project the End of Law, at CTR. Dr Mårten Björk will take the lead, and introduces the inaugural episode of the End of law podcast, and a lecture by professor Jeff Lo ve, with the title: "Between Kant and Hegel: Alexandre Kojève and the End of Law" It was recorded on 1 June 2021 as part of the Law, Theology and Culture seminar in Lund. Alexandre Kojève is best known for the influential lectures he gave on Hegel to an enthralled audience of French intellectuals including Raymond Aron, Henry Corbin, Jacques Lacan, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Aside from these lectures, published in 1947 as Introduction to the Reading of Hegel, Kojéve published relatively little before his death in 1968. Yet, he left over 26 boxes of unpublished material on a variety of topics, from quantum physics and the continuum hypothesis to a major treatise on law called Outline of a Phenomenology of Right (Esquisse d'une phénoménologie du droit). Kojève wrote this treatise (586 pages in the French book edition) in 1943 while living in Vichy France. He expounds in it a comprehensive theory of justice and the universal homogeneous state that promises to usher in the end of history and perhaps of law itself. In my talk, I shall examine some of the central legal features of Kojève's universal and homogeneous state and consider whether Kojève actually affirms that history can be brought to an end through a final legal regime or not. In this respect, Kojève reprises his end of history thesis from the Hegel lectures as well as putting it in question, opposing Hegelian finality to what Kojeve terms Kantian "skepticism" about final ends.  Jeff Love is Research Professor of German and Russian at Clemson University. He is the author of The Black Circle: A Life of Alexandre Kojève (Columbia University Press, 2018), Tolstoy: A Guide for the Perplexed (Continuum, 2008), and The Overcoming of History in War and Peace (Brill, 2004). He has also published a translation of Alexandre Kojève's Atheism (Columbia University Press, 2018), an annotated translation (with Johannes Schmidt) of F.W. J. Schelling's Philosophical Investigations into the Essence of Human Freedom (State University of New York Press, 2006), and recently a translation of António Lobo Antunes's novel Until Stones Become Lighter Than Water (Yale University Press, 2019). ---------------------------------------------- Religion and Theology is produced by Joel Kuhlin for the Center for Theology and Religious Studies. If you have comments or critique of this episode, or any other episodes of R&T, please contact us via the podcast's twitteraccount: @reloteol.

I'd like to ask you, Jeff Love, what is the biggest risk?   Jeff Love   To me, it's the same for me, because I'm a real estate investor myself, as well as advising real estate investors. And to me, the biggest risk with with real estate is exposing my non real estate assets to a real estate related risk. And what I mean by that is, if I own a two unit apartment building, and the tenant has a party, someone slips and falls. Now I've got, I've got, I've got a claim against me as the landlord. It may be a really bad fall, someone dies. And they may want to they when they want to sue me.  It's a $5 million claim. Now, I may have insurance, which I hopefully do, get it from someone like yourself, and that gives me protection. But what if that insurance isn't enough? You know, my property insurance, my umbrella? That only gets me to 3 million? How do I protect myself because I don't want my bank account. I don't want my car, my kids college bonds my home, I don't want that exposure for one particular investment, real estate, just one aspect of my portfolio. I want to try to keep it contained. And one of the ways we do that is through insurance. And that's you know, that's my, you know, first answer. But insurance may not may not always cover, there may be an exception. So how do we go one step further, and to our clients. That's part of our corporate practice or entity structuring and what those limited liability companies give you our limited liability, whether depending on what the form, whether it's a corporation, a limited partnership, and LLC, what that does is say, my exposure is only the company, I can't unless I do something wrong, and it pierce the veil, myself as the owner of that company, you can't come after my personal assets. So I take my two year apartment building, I put it into Jeff's LLC. Now there's that slip and fall, they may make a claim against me, they may get my $3 million insurance coverage. And they may take the property to cover the other $2 million of the claim. But that's all I lose, I don't lose my car, my bank accounts. That's all safe. And to me, that's the biggest risk is being able to really mitigate the risk of each property and segregate my assets to make sure that if one card falls, all of them don't. And so what we do with clients is help them segregate those risks, maybe even have different properties in different companies. One has specific environmental risk. Maybe one is an apartment building with lots of tenants and other Amazon deliveries, we want to keep that separate from my industrial property that's worth a lot more money or my personal assets. So I think that corporate structuring and understanding what an entity that grants limited liability protection, the benefits that that can really give you in mitigating risk and exposure.

During today's HyperFast Wealth segment, host Dan Lesniak speaks with Jeff Love, an attorney who focuses on real estate, corporate, and securities law. Listen to hear Jeff's advice for new investors putting together contracts for residential and commercial real estate investment deals.  Episode Highlights:  Jeff Love is an attorney that specializes in putting together contracts for residential and commercial real estate deals. It's important to understand the market that you're working in to advise potential investors. When getting into larger deals, understand that investors are looking more at cash flow, potential appreciation, financing, and the tenants they might attract. If you want to get into bigger deals, start understanding the metrics investors are using to look at those deals. A common pitfall first-time investors make is not understanding their market.   You need to understand the whole process if you don't already have experience. Educate yourself before you get hands-on experience. Talk to fellow agents that are in the multi-family space. Team up with someone with experience. A big part of what Jeff does is putting together different types of partnerships. You need to have a strong team in place as a new investor. You need a strong agent to help you find properties and to negotiate a good deal. Ask if you have a good insurance broker that ensures you have the right coverage and premiums. There's no substitute for a good accountant. You may also want a cost segregation expert.  You need a good attorney to help you prepare these documents. When you put together an agreement, make sure you have the right structure in place. Know the intention for your project. Know your exit plan for these assets. Make sure your investors are on the same page. If you bring on partners your timelines may be different. You can use a buy/sell agreement to manage different triggering events with your partners. Set up your business entities in the beginning with contingency plans in place. You want to be able to understand the purchase agreement so you can guide your client. It helps to have a basic understanding of these agreements. You'll see a limitation of liability more frequently in these agreements. Due diligence is much longer in commercial deals because there's much more to review. It's important to realize that the value of some of these documents that you can get in your due diligence period. Almost universally you will want to get title insurance. Being an experienced investor will help you know how to get the best terms. Understand the financials and the market. The environment is less competitive now. There will be room to negotiate. Remember that investments are non-emotional transactions. New investors should get their team in place before they jump in.  Successful investors learn from their mistakes. In 2021, we'll see depressed assets and investors taking advantage of those. Jeff shares what he enjoys doing in his spare time and where he sees himself in five years. 3 Key Points:   It's critical for new investors to understand their market and the whole process.   You need to have a strong team in place as a new investor.   Be intentional with how you set up your agreement and put contingencies in place.  Resources Mentioned: Learn more about (Hyperfast Academy); The Keri Shull Team (website) Dan Lesniak (bio, Facebook, Twitter) Jeff Love (LinkedIn, website) Email Jeff at jlove@gibbsgiden.com

Show Notes: https://everythingrei.com/108---what-you-need-to-know-about-real-estate-law-with-jeff-love/

Raising capital from private investors can be tricky. There are a lot of laws you need to be aware of and having the right members on your team to guide you through the legal world of the SEC (Security Exchange Commission) is paramount to your success as a real estate business owner. Access to more capital means access to more deals, but it has to be done right. This week on the show I am chatting with real estate attorney Jeff Love about the difference between a broker dealer and a co-GP when raising money legally from private investors for a real estate deal. Jeff is a partner at Gibbs Giden in Los Angeles with over 1o years experience in real estate transactions, SEC filings and syndications. In the show we dive deep into: - What does it mean to qualify as a broker dealer? - How to not illegally raise capital from private investors without a broker dealer license? - What are the benefits for an operator, if any, to get their broker/dealer license? and much much more. Jeff provides some cracking advice and actionable steps when starting out to raise capital successfully for a real estate business. So what are you waiting for?

Columbia University press has just released a new translation of a work by philosopher Alexandre Kojève, simply titled Atheism, translated by Professor Jeff Love. Considered to be one of the twentieth century's most brilliant and unconventional thinkers, Kojève was a Russian émigré to France whose lectures on Hegel in the 1930s galvanized a generation of French intellectuals. Although Kojève wrote a great deal, he published very little in his lifetime, and so the ongoing rediscovery of his work continues to present new challenges to philosophy and political theory. Written in 1931 but left unfinished, Atheism is an erudite and open-ended exploration of profound questions of estrangement, death, suicide, and the infinite that demonstrates the range and the provocative power of Kojève's thought. Ranging across Heidegger, Buddhism, Christianity, German idealism, Russian literature, and mathematics, Kojève advances a novel argument about freedom and authority. He investigates the possibility that there is not any vantage point or source of authority—including philosophy, science, or God—that is outside or beyond politics and the world as we experience it. The question becomes whether atheism—or theism—is even a meaningful position since both affirmation and denial of God's existence imply a knowledge that seems clearly outside our capacities. Masterfully translated by Jeff Love, this book offers a striking new perspective on Kojève's work and its implications for theism, atheism, politics, and freedom. Jeff Love is Research Professor of German and Russian at Clemson University in South Carolina. His publications include books on Tolstoy, Heidegger, Nietzsche, and Dostoevsky, as well as a translation of Friedrich Schelling's Philosophical Investigations into the Essence of Human Freedom. Carrie Lynn Evans is a PhD student at Université Laval in Quebec City.

  Jeff Bunn, lawyer, wellness expert and owner of the Mindful Law Coaching and Consulting Group, presents the business case for investing in attorney wellness. As he sits down with ALPS Executive Vice President, Chris Newbold, Jeff lays out why making mindfulness a priority in the legal profession makes sense not just from the health standpoint of health, but also the economics of the practice of law. To learn more about all areas of attorney wellness, visit the National Task Force on Lawyer Well-Being's Resource Page, featuring the report and more information on what is happening in your state. ALPS In Brief, The ALPS Risk Management Podcast, is usually hosted by ALPS Risk Manager, Mark Bassingthwaighte. This episode is hosted by Chris Newbold, ALPS Executive Vice President. Transcript: CHRIS: All right. Welcome. This is Chris Newbold. Welcome to another version of the ALPS podcast ALPS in Brief. I'm sitting here in downtown Chicago with one of the experts in the field of wellness, Jeff Bunn, who is the owner of the Mindful Law Coaching and Consulting Group. Had a chance to meet Jeff a few weeks ago and he's doing some wonderful work in the field. Today we're going to talk about the business case for wellness and why that makes good sense for firms, law firms, and the legal profession in general. Maybe what we'll do is start, Jeff, by just having you just introduce yourself and what gives you an interest in this particular area. I know you've had a distinguished legal career as well. Maybe just a little context on who you are. JEFF: Absolutely. I'd be happy. Thanks very much for inviting me, Chris. It's a delight to speak with you. My focus is really mindfulness, which is a little piece of the wellness pie, if you will. I happen to think it's a great and very important issue. It's an issue that gets a lot of play, a lot of thought, a lot of curiosity. My story very briefly, I started ... I used to be like your Type A trial guy, long distance running. I was walking the dog one day, slipped on some black ice, got my knee scoped, and long story short couldn't run anymore. I was looking for something that was a low impact, no impact alternative to running. Little did I realize that I used to go out ... When I talk about running I'm talking about an hour or two hours kind of thing. It was meditation for me. What I got into, because of my injury, was yoga. A lot of the men and women that I met practicing yoga talk about not only the poses and the practice but also other things that are more spiritual. I just found that that kind of resonated for me. I took a training session, a meditation training session that is, and I just got into it. Now I'm not a proselytizer. I'm not out there banging the drum for being a spiritual guru. Quite to the contrary, I think that there are a lot of aspects of mindfulness, which is a piece of a larger tradition, like the Buddhist tradition in particular, that I think can be ... It's not an all or nothing proposition as a lot of people, men and women who I respect, feel a great deal of affection for and know. They're kind of an all or nothing ... You're either all in or you're not. I get that. I understand it but I do believe that it doesn't have to be all or nothing. There are aspects of that faith or spiritual practice, Buddhism, mindfulness in particular, that can have a business application. My saying is, which I ripped off from Dan Harris who is a great guy, is a news anchor that you or some of your listeners may know of, also the author of a great book, 10% Happier. It's an old book now. He's written more recently. It's about mindfulness and how it changed him. Dan came up with a description of what is mindfulness? Well, if you ask 50 different people you're going to get 50 different definitions. He came up with a great soundbite that just works for me, "Simple, secular, scientific". That's really what it is. To me, it's brain training. Mindfulness, that aspect of a broader practice, can be segmented, can be applied to the business world in terms of helping us focus our attention, prioritize our distractions, and the like. CHRIS: That's the key to it then is the ability? I mean, obviously we know that most lawyers in practice are go, go, go, busy, busy, busy, right? JEFF: Yup. Yup. CHRIS: The value proposition of mindfulness comes in where? JEFF: I think in terms of being able to again focus our attention and then prioritize distractions. There are distractions like emails, telephone calls, partners hanging out with a cup of coffee in the doorway wanting to talk about whatever. Yet we have a filing that we have to get done by such and such a time. Or we have a meeting coming up in 20 minutes and we need to think about that. Or a phone call or what have you. I think that there are a lot of ... I think of it in terms of physical fitness and mental fitness. Everybody gets the idea of physical fitness now. As employee benefits go it's not a stretch at all to have firms or businesses help their employees deal with the ... They'll make contributions towards their monthly gym dues or what have you. Well, let's start taking care of our minds as well as our bodies. I think if you think of mindfulness as not just vague woo woo kind of thing but actually very specific brain training. Attention, prioritizing distractions ... The distractions will come but if one learns to focus one's attention in the midst of all the distractions that come that's going to make you a better lawyer. It'll make you a better professional. Therefore, I think it has ... Those practices, while it might not seem obvious, have an application in the business world. CHRIS: Yeah. We had a chance to be on a panel a couple of weeks ago. I think you've been able to crystallize as succinctly as I've been able to hear it about just the value of mindfulness and the value that it can bring ... If I'm a senior partner at a law firm build the case for me for why this is a good path to pursue. Often times we hear wellness and we think, "Oh, somebody is taking a two hour lunch," which for a lot of senior partners means that's less billable hours, right? JEFF: Yeah. CHRIS: It's a little bit of a ... I think you've been able to turn it on its head a little bit and say, "There are some real definitive business case elements to thinking about wellness, thinking about mindfulness." I'd love for you to present that for our audience. JEFF: Sure. I'd be happy to do that. It really has been a part of my journey. If I was having a conversation with you and you'd ask me, "What is mindfulness?" I'd start talking to you about what mindfulness is but in your mind you could just see people's eyes glaze over. They're just thinking it's all woo woo and, "Oh, Jeff has lost it. He's gone around the bend." I get that. It was very frustrating at first because I felt like I was banging my head against the wall trying to convince people of something that they were disinclined to believe. Then I started thinking, you know, if you can change the conversation ... Don't talk about something that whoever you're speaking to may think of as woo woo, as something vague and ill-defined with a lot of negative connotations. Let's talk about things that we do understand that have real meaning for us. That's how I started thinking about is there such a thing as a business case for mindfulness. I think there is. As I've thought about it I've come up with ... There are five areas that I touched upon that I alluded to when you and I last met ... I'm sure there are more. It just requires more thought. Just knocking them off and here I'm going to call myself out here, I better remember this, recruiting, retention, insurance costs, CLE costs, and basically productivity, which kind of ties all those together. I think in terms of business, hard dollars, the idea of recruiting younger men and women. How does one law firm stand out from the crowd? How does one distinguish one's self? If a recruiter is able to say, "We value the minds of the men and women who work for us, old and young, and we put our money where our mouth is" that's going to help you tell a story that's going to hopefully help you recruit the best and the brightest to your firm. CHRIS: Particularly with this generation, right? JEFF: Absolutely. CHRIS: One that's I think coming into the legal profession with a sense of, "Obviously I want to do incredible work as a new lawyer but I also want to maintain a better work/life balance." JEFF: Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. I have said and I still maintain that a law firm's greatest asset is its lawyer's minds. If you can begin to make a case, a real case, not just lip service, but a real case that we value our lawyer's minds, we want to protect them and the way we protect them is help them be happier, help them live a life that's more fulfilling, then that's a good thing for them and it's good for us as well, which really gets to the idea of retention. If men and women who are at a law firm five, six, seven years out instead of saying, "I'm going to go in-house. I'm going to go do something else. I'm going to do this, I'm going to do that, but I'm done doing this, the law firm thing." Well, what a cost. The cost to the law firm of replacing the talent is huge. CHRIS: Huge. JEFF: It's huge. Hundreds of thousands of dollars. You lose in terms of continuity, of service to clients. You lose potentially the business of some clients. There's just nothing good I would submit that accrues to a law firm by virtue of a departure of a seasoned professional. I think it behooves a law firm to do what it can to help keep the men and women it has been developing. Recruiting is a big issue but retention I think is a huge issue. I think also insurance costs and kudos to ALPS for recognizing that. I think that both in the area of health costs and perhaps professional liability costs it can be having a real committed, defined program can help deal with both health costs and professional liability costs. Very quickly on the health thing. One might question, "How does taking care of your mind translate into benefits that can accrue to you physically? To your body?" What I mentioned in the talk that you and I participated in recently was a Wall Street Journal article that was two or three weeks ago. Maybe a month at best. That was talking about mindfulness app developers that have begun the process of applying through the FDA for approval of some of their apps as medical devices. Because, now we get into the science that I won't bore you or your listeners with now, the science behind all of this ... If you go to Aetna is a big company that has embraced mindfulness. If you have any interest at all go to their website. Aetna's got a great ... CHRIS: Scientific studies are clearly there now. JEFF: Big time. Big time. On the subject of science too I'm a little bit off-topic here but I'll go there, the idea of neuroplasticity. Relevance for younger men and women in terms of recruiting and retention that's I think something that firms need to pay attention to but what about their older people? People like me? CHRIS: Yeah. JEFF: Why would I care? Well, forget about me but just as an example as a human being who is 65 years old, neuroplasticity, which has driven a lot of the science and a lot of studies, is really the answer. The concept behind neuroplasticity is that regardless of one's age, it's not just babies, it can be 65 year old people, we can rewire our brains. We can learn new things. The brain is a live, malleable, plastic thing. There are good reasons why even older people can and should engage in mindfulness because it relates to neuroplasticity and the ability to learn. Again, back to ... CHRIS: CLE and then productivity. JEFF: Right. Now we've got CLE and productivity. CLE, a lot of states have started ... Well, there are at least a handful, maybe 10, states now that have adopted ABA standards. The ABA did a great service to our profession by appointing the National Task Force on Wellbeing, which authored a report. It's a lengthy report, as you know very well. 70-ish pages including the appendices. It's a great read, by the way. I heartily commend it to anybody who is interested in the topic. Apropos of that task force findings there have been recent changes recommended, not yet adopted by all states but it's just a matter of time, it will be, that include among CLE a requirement that men and women in the legal profession study programs that are either mental health, substance abuse, diversity and inclusion. I would suggest to you that I think in terms of ... Those are costs that are typically borne by a law firm that instituting a program will help a firm qualify and train their people in that area. All of which gets to the issue of productivity, which just makes people who are happier and are better balanced work better. Not longer. The billable hour is still with us. There's going to be plenty of emphasis placed on that by the business people but allowing and putting into place programs that help our men and women work better as opposed to longer ... CHRIS: There's no doubt that to be a good lawyer one has to be a healthy lawyer, right? The more that we encourage those types of cultures I think the more that we're going to see the economic return of that. JEFF: Absolutely. Just in conclusion, it occurs to me ... I think I mentioned this too earlier that I think the airlines really get it right when we all fly for business or pleasure and part of the opening instructions are always, "If in the unlikely event of a water landing or whatever take care of yourself first. Put your mask on first and then take care of other people." CHRIS: Yeah. JEFF: Same concept applies to lawyers. If we learn to take care of ourselves, physically and mentally, we'll do a better job for our clients. CHRIS: Awesome. Well, Jeff, if people want to get a hold of you and want to talk a little bit more about the mindfulness or the wellness things that you are working on how can they reach you? JEFF: Love to do that. Thank you for asking. Probably the best way is to deal with my email address. Right now it's J Bunn Law, J B-U-N-N, Law at Gmail dot com. Just bang me out an email. Whatever is on your mind. I obviously like to talk about this stuff. I'd be delighted to do just that. CHRIS: Good. Well, thank you, Jeff. Thank you listeners. Again, if you have any topics of interest that you'd like us to focus on an upcoming podcast please let us know. Thank you. JEFF: Chris, thanks. Okay.   Jeffrey H.
