Great locations save the day when broader markets go south.

Mark has subsequently expanded to Austin and Denver with 20–40-unit buildings where he doesn't compete with institutional investors.

If you think your future is in a higher cap market, think again. While you will see cash flow in this market, the risk is greater. If you think you might be leaning towards something with lower risk, consider buying value add properties and benefit from the appreciation in a strong growth market. Today's guest, Family Guy writer and investor, Mark Hentemann, has definitely cracked the real estate investing code having been in this space for more than two decades now. Aware of how volatile the entertainment business is, Mark bought his first duplex property using his first script payments from Family Guy. Since then, he has been hooked into multifamily investing, and through his company, Quantum Capital, he has grown his portfolio to over $150 million in assets under management as of today. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: [01:36] Mark's creative background growing up [02:56] How he landed a job at American Greetings [08:32] His fondness for comedy writing [12:53] How he landed a writing job at the David Letterman show [17:40] Putting in the work and time to be good at what you do [19:30] How Mark leveraged his imposter syndrome [22:10] His experience working at TheDavid Letterman Show [26:00] What motivated him to get better at writing scripts [29:18] How he met Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy creator) [32:03] Buying his first duplex and selling it five years later [38:47] A growing desire to invest more in real estate [39:39] Becoming a real estate investing evangelist [41:43] Focusing on value add properties [47:48] The growth momentum fund [49:27] Real estate investing trends in the coming years [52:16] The value he gets from joining GoBundance [57:53] One of his most cherished memories Notable quotes from the Episode: “I'm going to work harder than everybody in that room… a Harvard degree doesn't make you funny.” "We're in such a volatile business. Do yourself a favor, buy something." “I was always trying to get the most units for the least amount of money.” “Cash flow is a byproduct of being in a higher cap rate market, which is sometimes riskier.

Ever been struck by lightning? Well, today's guest, Mark Hentemann, has been struck by lightning, not only literally while he was drawing caricatures at SeaWorld, but also metaphorically, when he got fired from the David Letterman Show. But what seemed to be the biggest punch in the face of his career turned out to be the best moment of his career. He used such failure as fuel to do better, eventually becoming an Emmy-nominated writer and producer of the popular sitcom Family Guy. Aware of the uncertainties in the entertainment business, Mark has been investing his script earnings into multifamily since 2000. He is the founder of Quantum Capital and he is also the host of The Wild West Real Estate Show. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: Mark's lightning experience His foray into writing for television and film How getting fired fueled him to be better Dealing with imposter syndrome How he landed a job for Family Guy Figuring out a way to get out of the shadow of The Simpsons Finding security and certainty in real estate Embracing his failures Episode Highlights: [08:00] Turning Failures into Opportunities A Harvard degree does not make you funny, and so you've got to do the work. And at some point, when you're really serious about something, you've got to do what it takes to master it. When Mark got fired from the David Letterman Show, he knew he had to take it up a notch and took it upon himself to learn as much stuff as he can so he could get better at writing. He learned the mechanics of not just job writing, but also script writing and developing characters. [10:14] Overcoming Imposter Syndrome No matter where you are in your career, imposter syndrome is simply inevitable. And so, you have to be able to reprogram your brain to get over your fears and just go for it. [22:58] From Family Guy to Multifamily Guy Aware of the uncertainty in the entertainment business, Mark knew he had to figure out a way to invest his money wisely, In 2000, he bought his first duplex and got an 800% return on it.

Episode 255 is all about mindset. It's like a tool. How we react to failures, obstacles, and what others think about us, is rooted in our mindset. Mark Hentemann learned this early in his childhood. He first came about it seeing a book on his mother's nightstand, called the “Tough-minded Optimist”. Just like every child with too much time on his hands, Mark consumed that book over and over again. He remembered then that his life had begun to shift. Mark's had an illustrious comedy writing career, from an intimidating showroom at David Letterman to becoming one of the writers in Family Guy. It's a great story of a shy but gritty kid with some serious stutter into one of TV's biggest writers. In this episode, we're going through his life story. Mark brings a level of seriousness and discipline as a writer, and we talk about how that has shaped his life and developed his confidence to face it all. We learn all about his failures and insecurities, and how he overcame them to write for some of the funniest and legendary TV shows we all know and love. There are always such deep lessons to learn in comedy. That is why we treasure having similar guests because comedians see life for what it is. Maybe that's why they make for great mentors and coaches too. Our Men on Purpose community are filled with guys like that.

Mark loves Multifamily real estate!    He originally started investing in multifamily in Los Angeles in the late 90's after moving from Ohio for a job in the entertainment industry. He jumped in because he was looking for stability knowing how unstable the entertainment industry can be.   Mark started his multifamily journey by househacking a duplex in LA after taking a job writing for Family Guy. Believe it or not he never imagined the show would last more than a few episodes! He got in a bidding war on this duplex and "overpaid" quite a lot over list price but made a tremendous gain a few years later when he sold.   Mark has consistently purchased mutlifamily real estate over a long period of time with the right leverage and in markets that have great growth, which is what led him to Austin. He loves the Austin market and plans to continue to buy multifamily real estate here and hold onto it for the long run.

The period that follows the closing of the deal is vital in the outcomes of your investment. Here on this edition of Asset Management Fridays to talk of their practices in the 30 to 90 days following a purchase is Mark Hentemann!

Mark speaks about his strategy for the first few months, which entails a lot of observing, waiting, and evaluating. From there, he gives attention to the exterior and what he calls curb appeal, moving to the entranceways and then into the actual apartments. He believes in providing convenience and value for tenants with particular attention given to kitchens, floors, bathrooms, and electrical fixtures.
