Shawn DiMartile started as an air traffic controller in San Diego diligently investing in his 401k. Fast forward 2 years and he and his partners will own close to 500 units. How did that happen? He determined the "traditional" way to retirement wasn't for him, he put in a TON of hard work, he read everything he could about real estate, and he networked to find some top investors to mentor him. His first investment out of the gate was a 32 unit building in Indianapolis, IN which took a lot of work to get going for 3 guys with no investment experience to show lenders, yet they got it done. Shawn has now mapped out a plan to net over 600k per year in his investment business over the next 15 years. Learn more about his journey here! Shawn and his partners are also the hosts of "The Multifamily Takeoff" podcast where they discuss multi-family real estate investing.

What made this transaction successful? What did I put in place that allowed me to have a successful closing? And on the flip side of the coin, you look at it from a different critical ways, like, hey, that that went really bad. What did I do that that went bad? What can I do to improve it next time?" -John Azar "I'd love to help all the sponsors out there. But unfortunately, not all the sponsors out there have deals that are worth funding. I want to make sure that I am diligent enough to work with the sponsor, I don't want to say educate them, but give them my perspective, unvarnished perspective on what their deal look like and what the likelihood of the funding is."-John Azar

John Azar is an industry leader in real estate, private equity, and sales management. John's journey started in copier sales which led to an opportunity in copier sales. In 2004, he discovered an opportunity focused on raising capital for real estate developers. His company was off to a fast start before 2007 happened. His company did not survive and John had to go back to the drawing board.   John took a traditional job but kept paddling. He shares that pain and heartache are universal feelings. In 2014, he made the leap into entrepreneurship again, joining his brothers company. According to John, working with family is a blessing and a curse. It is easy to have trust when working with family, however, it is a balancing act to separate business and family.   Eventually, John decided to launch his own company and pursue his own happiness. He shares with us how he stays centered and tells us his opinion on living a life of significance.

The numbers never lie almost all of the time. That is why when you are thinking of investing in a property, you must do your due diligence before diving in deep because sometimes, what appears great on the surface may not be all there is. Apartment investing expert, Jalal John Azar, is proof of that. As a numbers-driven person, John managed to acquire an amazing property that looks much better in person than on paper. Dan Handford invites him on the show to take us into the 82-unit Petersburg Palace in Augusta, Georgia, that they acquired just last February 2020. John walks us across the entire process, beginning from when they found it and did the walkthrough to taking it further by acquiring and then closing. Follow along this great conversation to learn more and gather some helpful tips and tricks on making an offer, doing due diligence, and structuring deals.

Checking the numbers and doing due diligence will save you in the long run, most of the time. John Azar delves into his journey into multifamily. He talks about his setback during 2008 and his incremental growth to owning over 6000-8000 units. John talks about the doomsday scenario, stress testing, and planning for foreseeable roadblocks.

This week I sat down with John Azar of MACC Venture Partners, a private equity commercial real estate firm in Gastonia, North Carolina. John has a compelling story and it was a privilege to have him in the studio this week. John was born in Aleppo, Syria, into an upper-middle class family. Despite this, John's father insisted on instilling the value of hard work in his son, getting John his first job as a carpenter's assistant. Then, at sixteen years old, John's life was upended. During a period of civil unrest, John and his family were forced to flee Syria for the United States. John found himself in Charlotte, North Carolina, a place with few familiar faces and a language he didn't speak. Instead of easing his way into his new culture, John took the baptism by fire route. With only a handful of English phrases in his vocabulary, John enrolled in an English-only high school where he went on to graduate. After high school, John obtained a Bachelors Degree from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, as well as a Masters Degree from Boston University. During his time in Boston, John co-founded and served as Managing Partner of Boston Venture Partners, a private equity consulting and finance firm specializing in real estate development and structured finance. Last year John returned to North Carolina to serve as Executive Vice President of MACC Venture Partners and the Capstone Multifamily Group, where he directs strategic development and growth. You can find John on LinkedIn, Twitter @businessanarchy, as well as the MACC Venture Partners website and Facebook page.   Content Links Devil Take the Hindmost: A History of Financial Speculation Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mount Everest Disaster Blue Ocean Strategy: How to Create Uncontested Market Space Mastery You can find me on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, & LinkedIn.  As always, the podcast is available for download from the iTunes Store, Google Play, Stitcher Radio, andTuneIn. And, please, if you enjoy the show hit that subscribe button and give us a 5-star rating in the iTunes store.
