What separates those who win deals in today's real estate market from those who keep missing out?   In this episode, Angel welcomes back Anna Latysheva and Fernando Arias of ALFA Peak Capital for a hands-on session about underwriting multifamily real estate deals. Drawing from their experience analyzing over 300 properties across U.S. markets, Anna and Fernando break down the essential components of successful underwriting, from understanding rent comps to knowing your local tax assessor. They also highlight the importance of reliable market assumptions, building relationships with property managers and banks, and how attention to detail can make or break a deal. If you're wondering why your offers aren't landing, this conversation offers practical guidance and tools to sharpen your underwriting process and become more competitive.     [00:01 - 05:00] Starting with “Other Income” The significance of identifying "other income" as a key variable in underwriting. Why this often-overlooked line item can influence deal viability. The importance of being exposed to diverse underwriting perspectives.   [05:01 - 10:18] Meet the Founders of Alpha Peak Capital How Anna and Fernando transitioned from chemical engineers to real estate investors. The importance of mindset and community in scaling a real estate portfolio. Why real-world underwriting experience builds confidence and clarity.   [10:19 - 15:43] Underwriting 101: Known Variables vs. Assumptions What underwriting really involves and the role of knowns vs. assumptions. The importance of recognizing market rent, cap rates, and economic vacancy. How seemingly small data points—like window conditions—can affect outcomes.   [15:44 - 20:00] Tools and Templates: Where to Begin Why there's no need to build your own underwriting model from scratch. Useful tools mentioned: Rand Capital, Synthesis Model, Michael Blank's analyzer. How repeated practice builds reliable rules of thumb in your underwriting.   [20:38 - 23:45] Local Knowledge is Your Edge The importance of PMs and bankers in understanding expense ratios and market rents. How lease terms, seasonality, and dynamic pricing affect rent comps. Why using outdated or generic rent data can derail your deal analysis.       Connect with Anna:   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ibuybuildings/   Connect with Fernando:   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fernandoapartments/     Key Quotes:   “The first time I heard that ‘other income' can make or break a deal was from Anna and Fernando. That stuck with me.” - Angel Williams   “People who win deals usually know their markets better than everyone else—and they work harder.” - Fernando Arias     Visit sponsorcloud.io/contact today and unlock $2,000 of free services exclusively for REI Rocks community members!

In this Sustainable Wine Roundtable (SWR) Member Interview podcast, Hanna Halmari speaks with Viviana Navarrete, the winemaker behind San Pedro TAYU and Viña Leyda. Both brands are part of Chile's VSPT Wine Group, one of the world's top 20 wine producers. Viviana shares the inspiring story of San Pedro TAYU, a unique Pinot Noir produced in collaboration with the Indigenous Mapuche community in Chile's Malleco Valley, located in the Araucanía region. The partnership began in 2015 with two families and has since grown to include eleven families, with a total of 27.5 hectares of vineyards planted on the community's own land. The community-centric project combines the Mapuche's traditional knowledge of the land with VSPT's expertise in viticulture, creating a long-term model for shared value creation and collaboration.

Sahaya International, a Davis nonprofit, took shape after a chance meeting when founder Dr. Koen Van Rompay (pictured), a researcher at UC Davis, was in India for an AIDS conference. Since then Sahaya has grown into a group of friends and donors, many in Davis, who give money to help people in developing countries by relying on local knowledge, trust, and long-term connections. Sahaya celebrates its 25th anniversary at Veterans Memorial Theater on Nov. 2. Today on Davisville we talk with Van Rompay about how Sahaya began, what it does, and how it operates. Sahaya's tax return says they raised and gave away about $830,000 in 2023. “There's much that we can do if we just join hands together, especially if you find people you trust,” he said. He's just as happy if Sahaya's work inspires people to do something useful outside the charity, “close to their heart,” on their own — the ripple effect.

Overall, the conversation highlights the excitement and challenges of fly fishing and the satisfaction of connecting with nature through fishing and foraging. In this part of the conversation, Brandon discusses the gear required for fly fishing, including rods, reels, and flies. He emphasizes the importance of presentation over the specific fly choice. He recommends flies like Waltzworm, Pheasant's Tail, and leeches for trout. For bass, he suggests crawfish patterns, woolly buggers, and poppers. For carp, he recommends damselfly nymphs, leeches, and squirmy worms. For saltwater fishing, he suggests clouders and gurglers. Brandon also advises listeners to check their state's fishing regulations and access maps to find suitable fishing spots. In this conversation, Brandon Dale and Justin discuss how to find fishing regulations and the importance of community and local knowledge in fly fishing. They also discuss the benefits of hiring a guide and share their favorite fish recipes. - Leave a Review of the Podcast - Buy our Wild Fish and Game Spices Takeaways: Fly fishing can be a challenging yet rewarding experience, requiring finesse and timing. Foraging in urban settings can lead to exciting discoveries and unique ingredients. Experimenting with different recipes and cooking techniques can enhance the flavors of freshwater fish. Fly fishing and foraging provide opportunities to connect with nature and appreciate the beauty of the outdoors. In fly fishing, presentation is more important than the specific fly choice. For trout, flies like Waltzworm, Pheasant's Tail, and leeches are effective. For bass, crawfish patterns, woolly buggers, and poppers work well. For carp, damselfly nymphs, leeches, and squirmy worms are recommended. Clouders and gurglers are popular choices for saltwater fishing. Check your state's fishing regulations and access maps for suitable fishing spots. Use online resources and interactive maps to find fishing regulations and designated fly fishing areas. Engage with the local fly fishing community and seek advice from fly shops and guides. Hiring a guide can accelerate learning and provide valuable insights on reading water, choosing flies, and fishing techniques. Trout and bluefish are versatile and delicious fish to cook, and smoking them can enhance their flavor. Try recipes like Chinese steamed fish, pan-seared trout with smoked butter and tomato sauce, and smoked bluefish Caesar salad.

3 Things Thursday on the NBA Draft and the Lakers. PMS F1 Report. Local Knowledge

July marks the 25th anniversary of one of the two most notorious collapses in major championship history when Jean Van de Velde lost a three-shot lead on the final hole at Carnoustie. In the wake of Rory McIlroy's loss at Pinehurst, the Frenchman's late meltdown feels more relevant than ever; not just for the bizarre way it happened, but for his remarkable reaction, both then and in the 25 years since.
