Always negotiate an acquisition fee to compensate for the time and effort spent on finding and analyzing deals. Notable Quotes: "Invest for immediate cash flow.

He also briefly touches on turnkey cash flow deals, which are properties that are already at market value and do not require significant renovations. Lastly, he mentions deep construction or distressed properties, which are not recommended for newer investors due to the high level of renovation and the need for bridge financing.

(2:26) Dan Kuschell Your company will only grow to the extent you'll take it. In business, it is very important to have the ability to sell, to do marketing, increase your productivity, having emotional mastery over your mindset, leadership and lastly ability to recruit or hire. You need not necessarily master all of these but having a team that has all of these is the most effective way to success. (5:58) Chandler Bolt Routines are your biggest helpers.

(8:06) Josh Cantwell Being able to understand what you can say no to is very crucial. Your rate of success does not depend on the number of opportunities that come to your desk. It's the number of opportunities you say yes to and what you say no to. Identify what opportunities to say yes to and what to say no to. Don't spread yourself too thin and try not to be too excited about all the opportunities that come your way. (13:24) Calvin Wayman We tend to think that all things should only be done perfectly. As a result we stop ourselves if we feel like it is not up to the mark. This is very wrong thinking. Sloppy work is better than no work. Just remember to make it consistent. Being consistent about the work you do, especially uncomfortable work will really help you in making yourself better and overcoming difficulties along the way. (17:52) Mark Winters You can't do it all by yourself. Having a team that is good at the things that you are not good at is the best way to become successful. This however is one of the biggest challenges that you will face in your journey as an entrepreneur. You will need to figure out a way to attract these individuals to help you in your work. It is also very important to have a working system that will run your business smoothly. (22:53) Sean Stephenson Insecurity makes you feel like you are not enough. It lives in all of us. Many times when we look at someone who is already successful, we tend to feel insecure about ourselves. When you do this, it'll make you miserable. Remember everyone has their challenges and their own difficulties. What you see may not be the entire picture. So stop comparing yourself with others and just keep taking your career one day at a time and in your own timing you will succeed if you work hard. (32:27) Hal Elrod The two greatest principles that will lead to success are enthusiasm and work ethics. Work very hard and at the same time be super excited at the things you do. However, remember that being enthusiastic just to win over some customers will only get you so far. You have to be authentic. It has to be real because when it is authentic, nothing you do will seem like a chore and you'll love every bit of it.

Remember everyone has their challenges and their own difficulties. What you see may not be the entire picture. So stop comparing yourself with others and just keep taking your career one day at a time and in your own timing you will succeed if you work hard. (32:27) Hal Elrod The two greatest principles that will lead to success are enthusiasm and work ethics. Work very hard and at the same time be super excited at the things you do. However, remember that being enthusiastic just to win over some customers will only get you so far. You have to be authentic. It has to be real because when it is authentic, nothing you do will seem like a chore and you'll love every bit of it.

When I first got started in real estate, back in my house flipping days, I would worry about a lot of things. I'd worry about the interest rates, turning a profit, getting into the deal at the right price, and how I would exit the deal. Sound familiar? Eventually, I got tired of doing flips and the sleepless nights that came with it and found a way to build a nine-figure portfolio of forever passive income. Fast forward to today, I'm sleeping much better and not worrying about how I'm going to pay my bills. In today's episode, I want to tell you how I did it. You'll learn why I gave up on residential investing, what I needed to know to break into multifamily, and how I use these techniques to create more income and equity in one year than I could ever get out of ten years of residential investing. The Forever Passive Income Live Virtual Event The next FPI Live Virtual Event is coming up on May 19-21, 2023 where I'll be sharing the step-by-step blueprint on how we raised tens of millions in capital and acquired over 4,300 units.

How I learned to underwrite commercial multifamily deals, read T12s and T3s, and raise the capital to make our deals work.

One thing that many real estate investors have in common is they have multiple income streams. Whether it's W-2 income, businesses they own, stock, or real estate, however you're making money, you need to understand the two types of taxes. Here's the thing: our tax code is set up to benefit the elite. It punishes employees and employers alike–and is designed to work this way. In today's episode, I'll explain why people like Bill Gates and Elon Musk would choose to take home a salary of $1 (spoiler alert: it's not because they're feeling charitable or selfless!), why the elite are playing a completely different game when it comes to taxes, and why true passive income gives you the power to turn a profit while reporting a loss.

The key difference between W-2 and capital gains income–and what makes capital gains better.

With multi-family investment prices down as much as 7% in the last year, even in markets with expected growth and stable rents, you may be asking yourself, “What can I do to de-risk my deals?” We're navigating a looming recession, economic conflict with China, and nonstop inflation, and the last thing you need right now is to have to refinance or sell at a loss.

If you've watched successful entrepreneurs, founders, or investors on YouTube, TED Talks, or social media, you've likely heard one piece of advice a million times: follow your passion. People who've “made it” love to tell those who haven't that all they need to do is follow their passion, and the pieces will fall into place. Not only do I think it's terrible advice, I think it's a total crock if I'm being honest. So today, I wanted to share a very candid solocast about why my career hasn't just been about “following my passion.” I'll also share what I think is a much more valuable piece of advice–and one that can help you find true happiness and joy in whatever you do as you achieve greater success. Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell Why it's so much more important to find out what you're good at than to follow your passion. Why using our superpowers makes us happier and helps us find joy in our work. The difference between joy and happiness. The importance of being able to say “I'm not good at that”–and the value of having great people around you to help fill in those gaps. Want the Full Show Notes?

In the 4th installment of this series, I wanted to talk about how critically important regional managers are in your business. These folks are your decision makers and ultimately responsible for charting a course for improvements and optimizations, making sure that things are getting done. They should be in constant communication with you and your partners about literally everything. Your property managers, leasing agents, and maintenance techs are the people who keep the lights on in your buildings–and they all report to a regional manager. They wear a lot of hats and are often overseeing hundreds or thousands of units, and when they underperform, it hurts your bottom line. So today, I'm going to talk about why great regional managers are a key part of your business–and the red flags to look out for when working with one. You'll learn how badly things can go wrong when working with regional managers, as well as an easy and very effective way to eliminate this threat from your operations once and for all. One last thing: I'll be hosting a 3 Day Live Virtual Event from January 23-26, 2023. This event is free for members of our Mastermind Group but tickets can be purchased by non-members as well. Book your spot today by visiting: ForeverPassiveIncome.com Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell Why great regional managers are experienced, hard headed, and not simply yes men or women. How regional managers can fail to properly monetize your buildings by undercharging, overspending, and not planning adequately. How to secret shop your buildings to asset manage your regional managers. Want the Full Show Notes?

A bad property manager isn't just a bad investment. They have the power to threaten your deal, take it down, or even directly create negative cash flow. If they don't do what you need them to, they can turn your investment on its head in record time–and do serious damage to your portfolio along the way. With that in mind, today's installment of the Operational Risks series is all about property management failures. Based on my own experiences, as well as those of several people I know, I'm sharing the common mistakes investors make when it comes to property management. You'll learn how to avoid bleeding money, how to turn bad situations into cash flow positives, and the critical differences between a bad property manager and a good one. Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell Key questions to ask any property manager you're interviewing. Why you should NEVER let your property manager do your capital improvements. Why property managers are generally terrible at marketing. How to determine if you're spending too much on utilities, staffing, or other operational expenses. Why some property managers will rent to tenants below your guidelines–and how this can become a serious problem 4-6 months later. Want the Full Show Notes?

When I started buying multifamily, is that there were these swim lanes, right? So I think the first thing is identifying as the owner, CEO, or founder. What are the swim lanes that if you grow a big enough portfolio that somebody can just do that one thing. Intro 00:15 Welcome to the How to Scale Commercial Real Estate Show. Whether you are an active or passive investor, we will teach you how to scale your real estate investing business into something big. Sam Wilson 00:28 Josh Cantwell has been an entrepreneur his entire adult life with his partners, who now own and manages over 4400 units of value out apartments. Josh, welcome to the show. Josh Cantwell 00:39 Hey, Sam. Thanks for having me on. Man. I've been looking forward to this one. Let's get it going. Man. Thank you. Sam Wilson 00:45 As have I; there are three questions Josh asked every guest that comes to the show in 90 seconds or less. Can you tell me? Where did you start? Where are you now? And how did you get there? Josh Cantwell 00:54 I started actually, as a financial planner, I learned about real estate because my clients all owned more money and had more money in real estate than the stock market. So I started way back in my early 20s. Where am I at right now I'm happy I am, I probably work about 20 to 25 hours a week. But super balanced life. I'm a volleyball coach, a football coach, a basketball coach, I've got three young kids. And this is the sweet spot for young kids in spending time with them. So I've got to do that. That's where I'm at now. I've got an amazing team. I've got my partner Glenn that handles our CapEx. I've got my partner Tyler who handles all of our operations and asset management. And we've got a CFO that handles our finances. And so I'm very fortunate to be able to focus on the financial the money, raising capital, working with investors, and acquisitions. And where I'm going is all I care about at this point is more passive income, more freedom of time, more freedom of relationships, being able to support my, my single mom, my father passed away a couple years ago. And being able to pass along all the things that we've done, learned and acquired, and use that for the greater good. The key things in the groups and the charities that we care about. That's where I'm going. Sam Wilson 02:13 That's cool. I just from a purely, I guess, I'm going all the way to where to put this, you said you're trying to develop more passive income, to what end? There's always this next level, I think that every entrepreneur wants to get to and it's this insatiable, like, Man, if I can just get the next and then it becomes its own kind of self uncertain goal and in its own right. Why do you want passive income? Josh Cantwell 02:40 So so our company, our HQ is called 950 management. So we don't have a goal of of acquiring 10 million of passive income right now we've got about $13 million a year flowing in and gross income through my apartment complexes. And that's just my Cleveland based portfolio. does not count the stuff we have in Houston does not count the stuff we have in Atlanta. That's just the stuff in Cleveland in my backyard about 13 million bucks. Right? You know, it's interesting, Sam, when I when I meet with like, I met with the president of my old high school paddle a Franciscan High School. And they have all these goals for how to impact young kids, high school kids, right? Their endowment, they need to build tuition that they need to pay for trips, all these different sport functions and Fine Arts. They don't have enough money, you know, so 950 management is important to me, because 950 management represents 950 units, it's our annual goal to buy 950 units. And the reason why 950 Sam is because we make about $1,400 of net free cash flow per year per unit. So that 950 times 1400 represents $1.2 million, it's $100,000 a month. So my goal every year is to add $100,000 a month of net free cash flow not noi, but after all the expenses after all the debt service and after all my investors pref payments and everything. Because that is forever income that can be used to impact those types of organizations that are going to take care. I'm very passionate for kids. I think there's more kids growing up in divorce houses. It's a fact that 70% of African American kids are raised in single parent homes. It's a fact that more parents are disenchanted that are worried about more about their own social media profiles and raising their children. So I think kids are at significant disadvantages, even though the world is more rich and wealthy than it's ever been. And so I think that really is my goal is just, you know, passing that back and taking care of those kids basically ages kind of five, six, all the way up to 18 years old. And so that's where the 950 comes in. That's my annual goal. So there isn't like an end game for me. It's 950 a year. Sam Wilson 04:56 I love that. No, that's great. And the reason I asked that because I knew you had more to it. There was more to the story that man, I just want to add another zero to my bank account like, yeah, it's at some point that becomes meaningless. So I love I love the trajectory of, hey, this is where we're going. And here's why it serves, it serves a greater purpose than just making more money. Josh Cantwell 05:19 The other thing Sam is listen, like I'm a pancreatic cancer survivor. Oh, wow. Pancreatic cancer had just a 6% survival rate. When I was diagnosed. Wow. I was diagnosed in 2011. And shortly after I was diagnosed, Steve Jobs died of pancreatic cancer, he had the same exact diagnosis as me saying the same style of pancreatic cancer, there was almost the same exact diagnosis and he died. I'm 35 years old wife, two small kids, my wife was eight months pregnant. And now I get this diagnosis. And I find out that the world's probably most famous human is dying of the same disease that I was just diagnosed with. And I'm like, Oh, crap, right, my father to his credit, and again, my father died just a couple years ago. But my father was my first great entrepreneurial mentor, he was an entrepreneur. And he said, Look, son, in the second half of your life, you have to figure out why you were one of the six that were spared, because 94 people out of 100, who are diagnosed the same as you are dead. And so you have an obligation, you have more talent than you need. You were spared for a reason. You have a beautiful wife and children that you're given a second chance to, to be with them and help them and grow that family. So now in the second half, I'm still I've been 10 years now since that recovery, that surgery and recovery, but I still feel like I'm trying to figure it out. But multifamily is the avenue the tool that I found to be most successful, I've done residential investing, I've done private lending, I've done commercial investing of all different types, hard money lending, the infinite income, the long-term passive income, equity, all those different types of tax advantages. All of that serves my greater purpose of using the talent and the second chance that I was given. So it has that larger purpose for me. Sam Wilson 07:08 That's awesome. I love that. So that puts you roughly 46 at this point. All right. You bet. Okay. Okay. That's awesome. And one of the things we talked about here before, before kicking off the show was that you had been investing in real estate for 20 plus years, and then it's only been really in the last eight years. It's something that's cooked coincides nicely, right along with, you know, getting over pancreatic cancer. You've been investing in commercial real estate for the last eight years. What What was the transition other than maybe commit pancreatic cancer is that hey, go do something bigger. What was the motivator for moving into commercial? Josh Cantwell 07:47 The transition was painful, Sam, it was awful. No, because I was I was I was realizing in 2010 2011, we had made a lot of good choices. We got into Pre Foreclosure investing, residential, short sales, all that kind of stuff, foreclosure investing before the crisis. So we started in 2004, or five, six, a crisis happens and oh, wait. We're ahead of the game. We become a national speaker, all these kinds of things. But I'm also realizing that resi is very transactional. And if you buy even a single family, a duplex is just not very big. A four Plex not You're not really moving the needle all that much. So I had this desire to get into commercial didn't know how then I was like, then I was really ripped out of the game. When I got diagnosed with cancer. I was pulled away from my business for about nine months, about three months prior to the surgery, preparing all kinds of doctor's appointments, just a bazillion tests. And my wife, you know, it was eight months pregnant. She had an emergency C section. So I had to help her with that even though I knew I was sick. You know, I had my son was born right before my surgery. And then six months after my surgery, no income, no, like zero, my bank accounts dwindling down to nothing. Even though I had success in resi and made a lot of money. It was just it was bleeding. I was hemorrhaging. I had employees, I couldn't pay my personal bank accounts feeding the business that's dwindling down from hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of 1000s down every month, like by 50 grand a month negative going down, down down. So it was painful. But what I realized coming out of that was that I had made this mistake. Okay. I read Rich Dad, Poor Dad like everybody else about passive income, right? Robert Kiyosaki, Robert Allen, multiple streams of income and I thought I was doing it but I really wasn't I was just flipping houses for income. So what I knew, though, what I knew was Razzie. So I decided to stand up a private equity fund, recruit all this private capital into a PPM into a private equity fund, and then lend it out in private money and hard money loans for both resi and small balanced commercial, started creating passive income by being that lender out of the fund and that worked, but it didn't create enough passive income and then every six months to two years, those loans would pay off and I'm like, crap, I gotta, I gotta go make Another loan I hated when loans got paid off, right? Because they were producing passive income, right? And then my investors in the Fund started asking me, Josh, you know what, this is great. But what else do you got? And I had some buddies of mine that started investing in apartments back in 2015 2016 2017. And they needed more equity, they needed somebody with a balance sheet to kind of co sponsor their loan. So I started out doing co sponsorships and raising capital. And then I realized, like, wow, why don't I just do the operations also, and then that evolved into that, so it's very much an evolution. And I kind of feel like, honestly, like the world, God, whatever you believe in, right? I believe in God and follow Jesus Christ. But whatever you believe in, I feel like the world pushed me down this path and taught me these lessons. So I could end up where I'm at today. Because without the lesson of cancer without the lesson of the private equity fund without the lesson of Jvn, on my first couple of multifamily deals, I wouldn't know exactly how to operate the business today. And all that's lined up to where we have a really tight operation today. Sam Wilson 11:03 Yeah, it sounds like you have an incredibly tight operation today. I mean, you named off two or three other seats on the bus that you have put in there, you had your asset manager, you had what was your What were you had four to four people, including yourself? Josh Cantwell 11:18 my partner, Glenn, handles our capital improvement swim lane, because we own the construction company, we do a lot of value add improvements, and we do them all in house. So we own we own we are the GC, Tyler is our partner, and he handles all of our asset management. So he oversees the third party property managers, our third party property managers can't stand us because we asset manage the shit out of them. And then Roberto, is my CFO. And he has a small piece of equity that we've given him in some deals. But he's the CFO that works with our property managers and our capital improvement to kind of do all the financials. And I focus on all those financials, the underwriting acquisitions, and raising all the capital. So I get to sit way above the business, outside the business and above the business. And I get to do things like podcasts and investor relations, investor recruiting. And of course, I get the final say on everything we buy, the final underwriting the final review and the final price. So I really feel like each one of us is sitting in in the right bucket in the right swim lane that optimizes their skill sets. Sam Wilson 12:25 How did you build that team? I mean, was this from just years of being in the business and saying, hey, I want to start something great. You want to come join me? What was that process like? Josh Cantwell 12:36 You know, what I realized, saying when I started buying multifamily is that there were these swimlanes. Right? So I think first thing is identifying as the owner or co founder, what are the swim lanes that if you grow a big enough portfolio, that somebody can just do that one thing, right? So I thought, okay, somebody is going to need to basically look at all the deals and focus on broker relationships and acquisitions, somebody is going to really need to focus on recruiting capital, working with private investors, somebody is going to, if we're going to do the construction, and do it well, and control the process control expenses and budget, someone's gonna have to do that, somebody's going to have to do property management, or sit above the property manager, somebody's got to take care of the financials. So we broke it out into five swimlanes. And then a couple of those were able to kind of come together were like, really Glenn focuses on this capital improvements, but he's also got relationships with some investors, right? Tyler doesn't really have many relationships with any of our investors. But he's a little younger, likes to hustle likes the communication and networking with brokers. So he had about 100 units of single family that he was managing. So he was already kind of good at Property Management knew a lot about the costs of materials and labor. So we first of all paid attention to what the swimlanes could be, we drew out all the job descriptions. And then over time, we realized that there were certain people that were on the team that were already kind of fit those, right. I met Roberto, my CFO 15 years ago, and I actually met him he had moved from New York, New Jersey to the Cleveland area. I hired him through a temp agency. I just needed more finance and accounting help. He had just moved into town. He you know, so we brought him on. And he's just evolved over that he's been in digital marketing with me, he's been in resi, flips the fund. All that's been an evolution. I think the big thing, Sam with the team is that you have to hire the right people. Sure, that's critically important. But I think a lot of small business owners and entrepreneurs have way too short and way too immediate of an expectation of new hires, they expect you to come in and be Superman in the first 30 to 90 days of the new hire. The beautiful thing about commercial investing and multifamily is that it's an infinite game, you're playing the long term, right? And when you do that, you can have a longer term view of your staff. So I tell my team like it's gonna take people a year until they really know all the systems the site Software, the people, the culture, personalities, everything that they need to be successful. So, you know, those are some of the things that went into these. I met Glenn in college, he had moved away, he was in corporate world forever. He was getting a divorce, he called me up and said, Josh, I'm moving back, I knew Glenn had a tremendous amount of fortune 500 experience. And I knew he'd be great at SOPs and defining swimlanes and managing the day to day operation of the business. And then Tyler, we brought on actually as our VP of acquisitions when we had the fund, years and years ago. So he was he was he was the director of Quicken Loans. So he was used to the transactional nature of that he was used to the transactional nature of property management. And when we decided to go into full time and push all of our chips in as an owner operator, I knew he'd be good at property management and acquisition. So some of them I kind of stumbled into, but I think it started Sam with knowing those swim lanes, and we knew what we were trying to find a recruit to. Sam Wilson 15:58 And that's, that's so imperative, I think, is defining, you call it defining your swim lanes. I think it even goes to, you know, the one step even further back, which is, you know, where are we swimming? Like, where are we going, like, what, what do we want and why? And when know that and you can put the people in the lanes, and then you can build your team. But I love Josh Cantwell 16:19 But I love that, like we talked about right? That was that's that's what we knew what we wanted to do 915 or 50 units a year. And then the swim lanes of who do we need to help us do that? Right, right. Sam Wilson 16:28 No, that's absolutely awesome. I love I love that you guys have done you do this number off the top of your head. But you said you just wrapped up I think you're 19th syndication. Right. That's, that's really cool. Other than raising money from private investors, have you guys done anything on the institutional capital side of things? Josh Cantwell 16:47 Not for equity? No. Well, I have one deal, one large 100 million dollar deal we own in Houston. It's a 552 unit. It's actually 600 units. Now, because we did some conversions, which we turned, we turned some big. It's huge. Oh, yeah, I thought you're making a comment. Sam Wilson 17:06 My mic is on mute. That that's massive. But that's a small city, almost 600, or it is 600 units. Josh Cantwell 17:12 Yeah, we converted some of the large three, three and four bedroom units into smaller ones and two ones, because they were the big footprint was too big. And honestly, there's not a lot of demand for a four bedroom, apartment, or even three bedroom apartments. So we converted it but long short, the raising capital is key, right. But that one had some institutional money on it, we had a family office that came in, wrote a check and recruited some capital, and they became a GP. But almost everything else we do is truly, you know, they're mostly accredited investors. But it's guys that put in between 100,000. And let's say a half a million. And I spend a lot of my time talking to those guys warming them off asking questions, creating that prior existing relationship. Because I like the control that that gives us, the more institutional equity we give, the more family office equity we recruit, the less control you have, they want more control, for sure. And I like to have as much control as possible. So that's why we started the construction company, we focus on really true private investors, they're not mom and pops, these guys are usually accredit very credited with you know, millions of dollars, but some people are not, you know, some people are, you know, they're not accredited, we do a 506 b. And they've got, you know, 100, grand, 20 grand, and we'll do some 506 B stuff, because we've got a lot of relationships. But that, to me is key, that that money, that private money, that allows you to control the deal, keep more equity for yourself, and ultimately dictate where you're going to go and not have Big Brother looking over your shoulder. Sam Wilson 18:45 Right. And I've certainly heard it, you heard arguments on both sides of the of the city, or the story here, where it's like, hey, you know what institutional money is the way to go. And I also hear from your side, which is, and I tend to probably fall more into your camp than not, which is like, we want to be in control. We don't, I don't need somebody breathing down my neck. It was it was somebody else I had on the show a while back. And they said that they said, Man, that's all they did was institutional capital. And then one day, they just said, we're out, like not doing that ever again. And all they do and this guy raised, you know, hundreds of millions, if not billions. And he just said, no, no, no, we're only doing private capital from this point forward. So it's always interesting to get the multiple perspectives on why people do what they do. You said you really enjoy the conversations you have with your investors. What what do you feel at least I heard you say that maybe you didn't actually say that, but it seemed like you enjoy it. So maybe put words in your mouth. But what do you feel like are some key questions that you really like to ask investors as you get to know them that maybe are not the standard, just canned questions here? Josh Cantwell 19:48 Here's I think it's I think it starts with posture and here's how I posture with private investors. Whether somebody finds me through a podcast or gets referred to me or follows me online Aner opts into our investor portal, or it's just a friend that refers a friend doesn't matter where they come from, I always start with the same thing, which is if I get on the phone with them, and we have a zoom call or one on one, I'm going to start and lead with this. It's posture 101. It's actually posture 401, in my opinion, which is, look, we do all of this through private placement, memorandums and Federal Securities exemptions. The SEC has certain rules and restrictions. And the SEC requires that I have a prior existing relationship with investors before they invest. So even if I had the best deal ever, and you had a half a million dollars that you wanted to cut a check for today, I cannot take your money. Okay. So the good news is, is that the SEC requires that I have a prior existing relationship with you before you invest. So if it's okay with you, there's no pressure here. I can't take your money anyway. If it's okay with you, I'm just going to ask you a lot of questions about your risk tolerance, about your current assets, your goals, your family who helps you make investment decisions? I'm going to ask you questions like that, because I've got to check the box with the SEC. Now Sam, I've postured up to say, one I'm not desperate for your money to I'm going to follow the rules, it's required. Three, even if you wanted to cut a check, I don't need it. I'm basically telling them psychologically, I'm not desperate for your money, right now. I'm willing to take my time to get to know you. And then finally, Sam, one of the things I'll say is listen, and I bet I've seen this forever, even when I even when I needed money. I would say this anyway, I would say, look, I could use your money, but I don't need it. I can use your money, but I don't need it. Okay. So I am in the fortunate position that investors that want to invest with me have to qualify to work with us, they have to go through an interview process. Now it is sec require it. But I'm fortunate enough to have a lot of investors, and I get to pick and choose who I get to work with. Okay, so I have a very strict policy in my business. It's called the no dipshit policy. So I don't want anybody in my business and it's going to wreak havoc on the business, that's going to ask 42 million questions. It's going to be disrespectful to my staff. So this is all the posturing. Then when they understand that, then I can ask them questions like, okay, have they invested in real estate before? If they've done syndications before they've done stocks, bonds, mutual funds, do they have a financial advisor? Do they have other people that make help them make financial decisions? What are they investing for? How long can they put the money away for what kind of returns they expect? Have they invested in cannabis crypto oil and gas leases, anything that's non traditional, and then that's all the first appointment first meeting. Then typically, the second meeting is I bought a week later, two weeks later, get back on a zoom. And I'll say, look, in the second meeting, I'm going to show you a past deal that we've done. And I'm going to ask you some more questions and verify everything that I learned in the first meeting so we can continue to establish this relationship. And then at the end of that second meeting, I might show them a past deal, some preferred returns, you know, what kind of equity people got. But I say, Let's This is a past deal. You can't invest in this. So this is not an offer. And then I say, Look, you know, the third meeting, we're going to just verify this stuff again. And I still I'm not going to pitch them a deal. And then I'll say posture, I'll say, look, if I found a deal like this, that let's say paid an 8% pref with equity refi and 42 months or 48 months equity in perpetuity 20 to 25% annualized return. If I found a deal like that. Do you or anybody that you know, would be interested in something like this? And they'll say, Yeah, me? What about me? I'm interested, okay. So I'm not asking them directly ever, if they want to invest someone, if you or anybody, you know, interested in something like this, I just want to be the top of mind reference, if you know anybody else that might be interested. So I'm never directly asking them Do you want to invest in this deal? Okay, posture, posture, posture, usually three meetings, I still haven't pitched them a real deal that they can invest in. Oh, they're foaming at the mouth to now get into a deal because I I've slow rolled them. I think the slower you go, the more money you're gonna raise. That's my philosophy. Sam Wilson 24:05 I couldn't agree with you more. I love the idea. You've given us a step by step playbook there. Thank you for unveiling that for us. Because that there's you take more steps to this. And I think even I certainly you have more steps in your process, certainly than I do. And I think that's, that's brilliant. I love the slow play method. And it's not it's not all psychological games. I mean, everything you're saying there is true. And I think the more we let go and the more relax, the more our investors feel relaxed. Josh Cantwell 24:35 Yeah, no question. I think some of the biggest mistake people can make is to say, well, if I find a great deal, the money will come. Right. Like you have to warm up a lot of money in order to posture with brokers who control a lot of the deal flow as we know or even posture up with a seller if you're direct to seller to tell that broker and the seller. I've got all this money warmed up. I'm just looking for the right deal, right versus send me deals Deal, deal deal deal, and then I gotta go hustle to find all the money. I had a friend of mine who just lost 40 and $50,000 of hard earnest money on a deal because they couldn't get it all raised and closed. They went through two extensions and then still couldn't close lost 450 grand, that's a painful ask lesson, right? That's because they thought if I find the deal, I'll get the money to me. It's warm up a lot of money, then posture up with the brokers try to find some off market deal flow, and then say, Hey, I've got three, four or five $10 million, whatever. I'm gonna buy one really good deal. To me. That's a better approach. Sam Wilson 25:32 Josh, I love it. You've given us so much to think through. You've shared with us so many insider insights here into your business how you guys have grown the struggles you guys have had things you've done right? Things you've done wrong.

Josh has been in the business for over a decade and is a pancreatic cancer survivor. Josh believes that the best way to learn is to teach.

Almost everyone who enrolls in my Forever Passive Income mastermind asks me the same question: “Josh, where do I start?” This episode is all about answering that question–and you may be surprised to discover that the answer doesn't just start with buying an apartment building.

You'll learn what you need to do to talk to brokers, network, recruit private money, get a great property manager, and recruit debt–all of which will give you the power to achieve real success and create forever passive income in this industry. Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell Why underwriting and creating business plans are the two most valuable skills in apartment investing. How to put together a value-add program and add income to a potential purchase. Why being a great underwriter opens doors and creates more opportunities than anything else in multifamily real estate.

Last week, I was in Houston to check out the 552-unit and 104-unit buildings that I own with some JV partners. I also attended a mastermind with intermediate to advanced residential investors who are new to multifamily, but have extensive experience flipping and wholesale homes and oversee 200-500 units. One thing that I noticed, as they grow their businesses and start to do larger deals, many of these guys are now trying to sponsor loans–and their questions inspired today's episode. If you're looking to have a better understanding of the differences between loan and deal sponsorships, I hope you'll get a ton of value from this episode. You'll learn what a deal and loan sponsor's roles and responsibilities are, you'll see how these roles play out in my own deals, and how to find someone with the key experience to make your dream deal a reality. Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell Why the deal sponsor is the person who finds the deal and takes the lead on putting together the dream team. How the loan sponsor gets qualified for the loan needed to do the deal–and how much liquid capital they'll need to make it happen. How I became the deal and loan sponsor on a property I'm buying right now. Why it's so important to build out your network to find loan sponsors. How to find key people with the experience you need.

I wanted to jump on here for a quick solo episode and share some great news and how we got it done. We just closed on a fiercely competitive, 296-unit deal. Over the last few weeks, we've been going back and forth with the seller, their attorney, and the brokers to negotiate the fine details and agreements from our letter of intent. Standard stuff, right? In our letter of intent, we agreed on a purchase price of $16.3 million and $350,000 of non-refundable earnest money to get the deal across the finish line within 90 days. We had to settle a number of issues, including the closing duration (and if the purchase price would go up if we failed to close in time), which title company we would use, and how much prorated rent the owner would receive–just to name a few. In this episode, I want to walk you through how our letter of intent (LOI) set the framework for our purchase sales agreement (PSA) and what we did to get the best possible terms under the circumstances. For anyone about to negotiate their first significant deal (or any deal for that matter), I hope these insights will offer some value to you. Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell How we set the closing terms for this deal and why it led to a negotiation with the seller about which title company we were going to use. How we negotiated prorated, past due, and additional rents. Why everything in an apartment building, down to the doorknobs and keys, is negotiable. How we wrapped our negotiations to close on the property by May 1 for $19.5 million–and why it will be worth over $26 million by the time we're done with it. Want the Full Show Notes?

An investor recently asked me for a ten-year cash flow study of one of our apartment buildings. To be honest, it's not something I'm looking forward to doing. I feel like it's at best an educated guess–and so does the Federal Reserve. None of us can predict interest rates or rent rates, and the work doesn't feel productive to me. So I've been putting this projection off for a few weeks. Not because I'm lazy, but I definitely am procrastinating–primarily because we've already raised all the money we need to do this deal. I'll keep this episode short and sweet. Today is all about overcoming procrastination, not just in writing cash flow studies but in anything you want (or need) to do. I'm sharing the simple trick that helped me finish overdue projects, reduce my body fat to 5% in my early thirties, find deals, and achieve so much more. It's worked for me, and I hope it will help you too. Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell The main reasons why we procrastinate. How accountability partners force us to take action. The importance of being aware of your calendar. Why we're so comfortable letting ourselves down, but not others. Get started right away to find your accountability partner, set a meeting, and get something done. Want the Full Show Notes?

Anyone who has ever worked on a renovation project knows that everything doesn't always go according to plan. So, how do you handle the draws when you have a large value-add CapEx program and a loan with a bank or lender with construction draw money? How do you prove to your bank that your draws are accurate, you've done everything right, but your actual plan doesn't exactly align with your original one? We purchased Forest Ridge Apartments in Parma, Ohio, for $11.65 million about a year ago. Our original loan was for $1.1 million in draws and $1.1 million in construction. From the start, the numbers lined up perfectly, but it got much more complicated when we firmed things up. When we submitted our final draw request, our banker needed an explanation as to why things were going the way they were. In this episode, I want to use what happened with our project to show you a real example of pro forma versus reality. When you're ready for the next draw with your banker, I want you to have the insight to be able to explain yourself when things get complicated, get the budget you need, and have the power to add value to your deals when it's within reach. Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell Why we needed to invest additional funds into the commons at Forest Ridge apartments, and how this changed our budget. What happened when we submitted our final draw request, and how I explained what was happening with our lender. How we were able to beef up our budget from $1.1 to $1.41 million. How our improvements left us with a building worth more than it was when we originally underwrote it. Want the Full Show Notes?

Growth isn't easy when you're building a company worth $200 million. It's hard to have a clear hierarchy of what everyone is doing and how they're doing it. For example, our portfolio will soon have about 3,000 units. We have at least 25 in-house staff as property managers and leasing agents. We also have 25 out-of-house to handle repairs and maintenance, 80 people on our CapEx crews, and a small handful of individuals in our corporate office. What makes this arrangement work? Even though I'm usually focused on investor relationships, underwriting acquisitions, and analysis, our so-called C-suite isn't driving Ferraris and eating lobster while everyone else is taking the bus to work and surviving off of hot dogs. That's not how it works. In today's conversation, I want to talk about the difference between having your head in the clouds versus hanging out in the dirt. And more importantly, why having mutual respect between your employees, no matter what their role is in the company, is critical to your success. Key Takeaways with Josh Cantwell Why you need great working teams in order to focus on what you (and your best employees) do best. Why so many construction companies fall apart–and how you can use their failings to your advantage. How new entrepreneurs and investors can get out of the dirt and into the clouds. Why it's so important for you as a leader to put in one-on-one time with your employees. Want the Full Show Notes?
