In this episode of The Best Ever CRE Show, Matt Faircloth interviews Chris Stout, a former New York City firefighter turned real estate investor who has built a portfolio of over 700 apartment units. Chris shares his journey from living in a mobile home park at age 10 to becoming a successful real estate investor, starting with buying two-family homes in Staten Island. The conversation explores his innovative approach to property management, including his "ruthless asset management" philosophy of focusing on operational efficiencies like consolidating maintenance work orders to one day per week. Chris details a recent successful project where he purchased a 24-unit townhouse community in Fayetteville, Arkansas for $2 million, invested $500,000 in renovations, and is selling the units as individual condos for $180,000-$200,000 each, generating approximately $1.6 million in profit.

Real estate “boomtowns” present a massive opportunity to investors in 2024. A few years ago, buyers were fighting tooth and nail to purchase properties in Austin, Boise, Phoenix, and other red-hot markets. Demand was growing in these cities, and prices were shooting up with no end in sight. But then…it stopped. Prices started declining, vacancy rose, and investors were stuck holding onto properties now worth less than what they paid. The interesting part? These market declines might be only temporary, and those who don't buy now could be kicking themselves a few years down the road. To give us insight into which boomtowns are worth buying in and which are worth ignoring is Matt Faircloth, multifamily real estate investor. He saw many investors rush to these real estate boomtowns during the peak and are now struggling to fill their rental units as the boom became a bust. He's identified a sneaky strategy that allows you to buy properties at a discount in these markets to make money while the FOMO investors search for an exit option. We'll talk about the cities with the most hype, the ones worth investing in, the future boomtowns that most are ignoring, and the massive opportunity of “economic spillover” that could lead you to markets with the best future potential. In This Episode We Cover: The future “boomtowns” that most investors have no clue about (get in early) How boomtowns form and what to look at to tell if one is worth investing in When is it too late to invest in a growing city (metrics to check before buying) The secondary markets with “economic spillover” boasting huge opportunity The sneaky move Matt is using to buy boomtown properties at a discount What to do if you bought in a boomtown that is already declining And So Much More!
