Moses Kagan has a unique take on real estate development and investing – and he's influenced my thinking substantially over the past couple of years.He is a highly successful syndicator, investor and developer with over $200 million in assets under management. He runs Adaptive Realty, having renovated over 100 multi-family buildings in Los Angeles, managing them in-house while specializing in the "indefinite hold” strategy for long-term wealth building.He is the Co-Founder of ReSeed, a platform offering long-term GP and LP capital, along with mentorship for emerging real estate operators nationwide.  He also hosts Reconvene, a highly regarded annual “unconference” for real estate operators and passive investors to connect and share knowledge. I attended last year, and it was awesome!And lastly, he is a Twitter personality and avid blogger, sharing valuable insights on real estate and business. I highly recommend you follow him.This is an excellent conversation about practical investment and real estate development philosophy, and I hope this conversation has as big of an impact on you as meeting Moses has on me!TAKEAWAYSHolding real estate indefinitely often leads to better investment outcomes than IRR-driven flipping.Traditional real estate models incentivize risky short-term decisions, while sustainable strategies benefit both investors and communities.Investors should focus on post-tax returns rather than pre-tax IRR, as tax considerations play a crucial role in long-term profitability.Wealthy families and patient capital partners are more aligned with indefinite hold strategies than institutional investors.Unlevered yield on cost and all-in price per square foot are key financial indicators for long-term real estate success.Building direct relationships and trust at scale is essential for securing capital, especially for indefinite hold investments.CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction to Real Estate Development Philosophy06:06 Understanding IRR and Its Implications11:55 The Importance of Long-Term Thinking in Real Estate17:59 Finding the Right Investors for Long-Term Strategies25:50 Investing with Wealthy Families and Professional Money Managers40:20 Understanding Capitalization and Investor Liquidity46:11 Building Trust and Relationships in Real Estate Investment55:41 Building Trust at Scale in Real Estate58:01 The Democratization of Capital Raising01:04:29 New Urbanism and Walkable Neighborhoods01:06:00 Challenges of Ground-Up Development01:09:03 Zoning and Building Code Challenges01:11:57 The Impact of Bureaucracy on Development01:14:07 Introducing ReSeed: Supporting Emerging Operators01:17:08 The Importance of Community in Real EstateCONNECT WITH MOSESX:https://x.com/moseskagan?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5EauthorLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/moses-kagan-2638ab2/Adaptive Realty: https://www.adaptiverealty.com/ ReSeed: https://reseedpartners.com/Moses Newsletter: https://kagansblog.com/blog/MENTIONED RESOURCESThe Fort Podcast Interview on ReSeed: https://www.thefortpod.com/videos/moses-kagan-rhett-bennett-co-founders-of-reseed-partners-the-y-combinator-for-re-operators/CONNECT WITH AUSTIN TUNNELLNewsletter:https://playbook.buildingculture.com/https://www.instagram.com/austintunnell/https://www.linkedin.com/in/austin-tunnell-2a41894a/https://twitter.com/AustinTunnellCONNECT WITH BUILDING CULTUREhttps://www.buildingculture.com/https://www.instagram.com/buildingculture/https://twitter.com/build_culturehttps://www.facebook.com/BuildCulture/SPONSORSThank you so much to the sponsors of The Building Culture Podcast!Sierra Pacific Windows: https://www.sierrapacificwindows.com/One Source Windows: https://onesourcewindows.com/

This is Part 2 of the episode where we discuss real estate private equity investing with Moses Kagan.  Southern California, in particular Los Angeles, has a great advantage for real estate investors: Proposition 13.  The law limited property tax rate increases by 1 percent of assessed value in year one, and the assessed value can't increase more than 2 percent afterward regardless of the market value.  Now, that means the property tax (which is usually the highest cost for real estate investors) is increasing dramatically slower than rent growth.  Thus you have almost guaranteed margin expansion.  Nathaniel is curious about Moses' opinion of the zoning issue in LA.  Moses feels strongly that to fix the supply shortage in big cities in the U.S., the authorities have to limit or lose the zoning restrictions.  Not only do they create social living inequality, but they also affect national economic growth.  But you know what? Supply-demand unbalance is exactly what makes investors money... Talk about incentives!  Two pieces of advice Moses has for first-time investors: find a reliable and experienced operator and use leverage very, very carefully. 

This is Part I of the real estate private equity investment chat with Moses Kagan.  Real estate investing has always been on the top of our clients' inquiry list.  Normally, for real estate investors, they try to buy, fix, and then sell the property as fast as they can.  But Moses is doing this differently: he has a true value investing mindset.  He firmly believes that when investing in real estate, one way to lose money is to be forced to sell in a downturn.  All markets swing up and down in the short term, but if you have a long-term investing horizon, through generations, the power of compounding is extraordinary.  To achieve this goal, Moses has two rules: he only looks for long-term investor partners that are willing to invest longer than a typical 3-10 years private equity cycle; in addition, he uses debt leverage very carefully so the bank can't force him to sell.  In Part II's episode, we will dig deeper into the LA real estate market with Moses.

Over the last few years, anonymous real estate-related Twitter accounts have gained thousands of followers, offering up opinions, real estate deals, anecdotes, statistics and real estate jokes and memes. But why is Twitter such an important platform for the real estate industry? And why are some of these anonymous? We speak to two anonymous accounts, Pink Polo Shorts and Cash Flow Cowboy, about why they stay unknown, as well as Moses Kagan and Keith Wasserman about the benefits of being on Twitter.

Moses Kagan (https://www.kagansblog.com/) has been buying, renovating and managing apartment buildings in Los Angeles since 2008. His company, Adaptive Realty (https://www.adaptiverealty.com/), along with its investor-partners, owns approximately $200MM worth of high-quality buildings in interesting neighborhoods. Unusually for a real estate private equity firm, Adaptive and its partners do not fix and flip; instead, they act as permanent holders and stewards of the assets under their control. Standout Quotes: * "Rich families that own good assets generally don't look to sell them to maximize Pre-tax IRR" - [Moses] * "If you do not lose the building, the rents will recover" - [Moses] * "When you start to think about things indefinitely, and you're not in a rush, it kind of opens up other possibilities in terms of structure and strategy" - [Moses] * "It's very hard to go from zero to something… and it takes an entirely different set of skills to go from something to something much larger" - [Moses] * "I do not believe that we as individuals live our lives for ourselves" - [Moses] Key Takeaways: * Moses has been buying, renovating, and managing apartment buildings in Los Angeles since 2008, through his company, Adaptive Realty, alongside investor partners. He focuses on sub-institutional deals. * The most important part of the strategy is that rather than buy, fix and sell buildings to maximize pretax IRR, they buy properties, make them high-quality assets, manage and refinance them to get higher returns. The strategy was born from his family values as they had always been involved in Real Estate but never engaged particularly in sales of property. * There are two reasons why people sell; firstly investors have a mindset too focused on Pretax IRR, and secondly, the sponsor gets their money after selling. If you just hold on and keep the building, the rents will recover. * The initial funds for the business came from friends and family of Moses, and later from another family office who partnered with them. This partnership helped them build a track record that encouraged other investors to feel comfortable with them. * The structure for the business model is not to buy, renovate and sell like the typical model with PEs, but rather they partner with wealthy families with the explicit assumption to hold on to the property not sell, however, liquidation rights goes to the family that put up all the capital. The primary strategy has been to refinance the property to pull the capital out and give it back to the investors who still retain ownership and cash flow from rents. Adaptive Realty only gets fees for their work but not cash flow from rents, sales or refinance until the investors have got their capital. * Describing his family history, Moses shares how his first building was bought with capital from the family money dating back 4 generations. The wealth he enjoyed from his family was mostly in form of basic needs being met and, particularly education. * When starting a business with a partner, it is critical to have a decision-maker or tie-breaker irrespective of how profits are split. The relationship between Moses and his partner in terms of how earnings are split is quite stable even for the coming generation but open to discussions if need be. * There is currently no long-term family structure for his family, however, Moses spends a lot of time with his kids, to instill the values of passing on to the next generation what was done for them. * Discussing Storytelling, Moses emphasizes that your forebearers are a living part of your life, and tries to make those people present for his children even though they will never meet them. * Gaining exposure and immense assistance from his friends to succeed, Moses was also motivated to start finding ways to help people who didn't have the kind of opportunities he had. * Advice from Moses to those aspiring for multigenerational success: Don't put yourself in a position where one investor can wake up one day and force you to restart your career. This involves having different capital providers rather than being completely dependent on one. * From Moses to his kids: We owe everything to those who came before us, however, we can't repay them. We can only try to do for those coming after us what has been done for us, if not more. Episode Timeline: * [00:48] Meet today's guest, Moses Kagan. * [01:53] About the business, Adaptive Realty. * [13:50] How do you get investors to join you with your strategy of holding properties permanently? * [16:45] How have you structured Adaptive Realty to be different from the typical P.E model? * [21:55] Moses shares his family background. * [32:36] What's your perspective on multigenerational wealth? * [38:28] What does the future look like in terms of the next generation? * [41:07] Do you expect your children to get involved in the business? * [46:15] Is there any form of family governance structure? * [48:18] Moses shares his approach to storytelling as a method to pass on values. * [52:55] How Moses works to help others who haven't had the same privileges he enjoyed. * [57:06] Advice from Moses to listeners aspiring to build generational legacies. * [01:00:33] From Moses to his kids.

This is the second episode in a three part miniseries on real estate, which kicked off last week with Nick Huber, and is resuming with this episode focusing on residential real estate with Moses Kagan. Moses is the founder and GP of Adaptive Realty, a real estate private equity firm which acquires and remodels multi-unit residential real estate in the Los Angeles area. Moses is very thoughtful and intentional and I've thoroughly enjoyed getting to know him better.   In this episode Moses and I discuss his family's background in real estate and lessons he learned as a child, different options for small company owners to invest in residential real estate and pros and cons with each, and how he develops a unique lens for viewing assets in a different way than his competition, among other interesting topics. Enjoy! For the full episode transcript and more, visit alexbridgeman.com/podcast.

"If you own a beautiful building that's newly renovated with all new systems, in an improving area, why would you sell that? You're much better off, levering it up, using the proceeds of the loan, to return some capital to your investors and allowing the rents to rise over time and therefore the value to compound tax free. " - Moses Kagan A lot of real estate deals are designed to quickly flip properties — resulting in a lot of mediocre deals.  But in certain markets, if you buy quality properties, this is the opposite of what you want to do. Because when you have great assets, don't sell them. So says Moses Kagan, Partner at Adaptive Realty, the real estate private equity firm buying boutique Los Angeles apartment buildings they never plan on selling.  In this episode, we discuss: What conditions are right for a permanent-hold mentality The advantages of developing smaller properties into apartments How to quantitatively evaluate deals in a market like Los Angeles Check out these resources we mentioned during the podcast: Kagan's Blog If you liked this episode, be sure to subscribe or follow Sync or Swim wherever you get your podcasts, Apple, Google Podcasts, or Spotify.

This week on the show, we've invite on a real estate expert: Moses Kagan! Moses is a partner of Adaptive Realty — a property management company in Los Angeles.Adaptive Realty has a unique strategy with apartment buildings; instead of simply buying buildings and repainting and upgrading appliances, they do huge, wholesale renovations. They vacate all the tenants and completely redesign the properties. This enables them to double the rent whereas most apartment value ad folks incrementally increase the rent 20-30% after renovations. It's a very unique strategy, and in this episode, we're going to get into all of the juicy details on how Moses has pulled this strategy off. We talk about how he originally fell into the industry 10 years ago, how he survived the early lean years of being a real estate entrepreneur, the mistakes he's made along the way (including selling way too early for his first few deals), and finally, his graduation from short-term funds to more long-term permanent equity vehicles (where he can renovate the properties and hold them indefinitely).Today's episode was incredibly insightful and we hope you have as much fun listening to it as we had recording it!Key Takeaways:[:11] About this week's episode with Moses Kagan.[1:10] Welcoming Moses to the podcast![1:41] Moses explains what they do at his company, Adaptive Realty.[4:55] Moses tells the story of how he got started (before starting Adaptive Realty) and some of his early experiences in buying real estate.[22:02] How Moses originally got funding, and how they got people to leave the apartment so they could renovate.[23:52] How they renovated the buildings to beat out the competition.[25:25] Moses talks about the possible percentage increase for rent in these renovated apartments.[26:52] Moses explains their second apartment deal, whether or not they were making money at this point in time, and how they made that second deal.[29:05] Their strategy over the next couple of years for buying buildings[29:19] Moses talks about what they did after having to liquidate all their buildings, starting back at “square one.”[34:19] The steps Moses took when trying to rebuild: starting a blog, discovering that the best deals were the fixer-uppers, and ultimately, the creation of Adaptive Realty.[44:09] After raising their first fund, Moses explains his next steps.[48:37] What Moses recommends to anyone who is starting out in this business.[49:24] How Moses and his partner continued to build Adaptive Realty.[55:15] Moses discusses some of the challenges with their business model and the way their business has grown.[1:00:22] Moses speaks about their progress towards more permanent equity.[1:02:20] Moses' advice to those new in this business.[1:06:15] Where to find Moses online.Mentioned in this Episode:Adaptive RealtyMoses Kagan (LinkedIn)Moses Kagan's BlogThe Alternative Investor EP.38 — “We Talk to a Guy Who Bought a Business with an SBA Loan”For More on The Alternative Investor, Check Out:TheAlternativeInvestorShow.comThe Alternative Investor on iTunes — Leave us a review!
