"The Immigrant Hustle: How This Couple Turned Setbacks into a Multifamily Fortune.” Vivek and Asha Kangralkar, originally from small villages in India, moved to the U.S. in 2010 with their two young daughters in search of a better future. After Vivek lost his job in 2012, they were left with just $1,500 in savings—but refused to give up. They launched a granite and marble import business, followed by Avacraft, a cookware brand that gained national attention, including features on Good Morning America and Forbes. In 2018, they pivoted to multifamily real estate, turning around underperforming properties and generating strong returns. Today, they own hundreds of units and use a hybrid management model to drive operational excellence. Committed to giving back, they support educational initiatives and advocate for housing reform, all while helping others achieve financial freedom through real estate investing.

When you listen in to this week's podcast/YouTube show guest, Elijah Iung, you'll love hearing about his journey from farmhand to capital raiser. Before he was investing in multifamily deals, he was knee-deep in… well, let's just say a much messier kind of asset management.   But that dirty work paid off. Elijah built a multi-seven-figure business in cattle waste management, which set the stage for his transition into farmland investing and, eventually, multifamily syndication. His journey from tractor-driving farmhand to capital allocator is as unconventional as it is insightful.   Betting Big on Multifamily After selling his waste management business, Elijah discovered that much of his wealth was actually growing through his farmland investments, not from his business itself. That realization led him to multifamily real estate, where he quickly learned the ropes by investing as an LP, joining masterminds, and building key sponsor relationships.   Raising His First Million Elijah's first capital raise wasn't a walk in the park. Tasked with raising $1M for a $39M multifamily deal in Savannah, GA, he hustled hard, digging through his contacts, cold calling, and leveraging LinkedIn to bring investors into the fold. As a co-GP with Lake City Equity, he put up his own capital, structured investor incentives, and navigated the complexities of syndication.   Lessons from the Frontlines Raising capital might sound like a simple process; build an email list, send a few messages, and watch the money roll in. The reality? It's anything but that and Elijah quickly learned that trust is everything – and that trust isn't built overnight. It takes time, persistence, and a thick skin to handle the inevitable rejections.   His first raise was a grind. Cold calls were brutal, follow-ups felt endless, and convincing investors to part with six figures took more than just a good pitch; it required credibility and relationships. Then came the complexities of syndication: structuring equity splits, managing fees, and balancing the interests of both sponsors and investors.   Despite the hurdles, Elijah delivered. He raised the full $1M, became the largest LP in his own deal, and walked away with something even more valuable – experience. Now, he's doubling down on building his investor network through LinkedIn, masterminds, and in-person connections, ensuring that his next raise won't be nearly as uphill. *** This episode is a real, unfiltered look at what it takes to break into capital raising, the myths that get shattered along the way, and the strategies that actually work. If you've ever thought about raising money for real estate deals or just want to hear how a former farmhand turned syndicator made his first million-dollar raise, you'll want to hit play on this one. *** Explore the world of real estate capital allocators—a fresh approach to financing that's reshaping the industry.   In this series, I talk with allocators, investors, sponsors, and service providers to give you an inside look at this fast-growing space.   PLUS, subscribe to my free newsletter for real estate investors and gain access to: * Introductions to sponsors, allocators, and investment opportunities. * Insights drawn from my 30+ years of experience in real estate investing. * Hacks and tactics for raising capital to help you scale your real estate portfolio.   Visit GowerCrowd.com/subscribe

Ryan Heddleston's journey from small-scale real estate investments in Pittsburgh to managing large-scale multifamily properties in Texas is a great example of how strategic partnerships and expertise can lead to substantial growth. His decision to partner with experienced operators allowed him to scale quickly, which paid off—he acquired over 6,000 units across 34 properties, worth more than $500 million in total capitalization. However, even seasoned investors like Ryan can encounter challenges, and one key issue he identified was the high property tax rates in Texas, which can significantly impact profitability. To address this, Ryan and Clayton Sievers co-founded Valorum Tax Advisors. By combining their deep understanding of the local tax landscape with their expertise in multifamily properties, Valorum specializes in helping operators reduce property tax burdens. Their services focus on fighting unfair property tax assessments and providing accurate tax estimates, crucial for both current property owners and those looking to make acquisitions.

Jeff Ervick- The Deal That Changed My Life If you enjoyed this podcast we would appreciate a positive review... https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/real-estate-reserve-podcast/id1507982777

Did you go? If not…these were the themes, of the 3-day event, between apartment operators, investors, investment sales brokers and lenders. This nationwide conference had optimism in multifamily for the long term…but continued challenges (higher interest rates, higher cap rates, and the lack of distressed assets coming to the market) for the shorter term. 1. NMHC Meeting Overview: The meeting was held at the Aria Hotel in Las Vegas, attended by around 10-12,000 people from various sectors of the multifamily industry. 2. Market Sentiment: Despite challenges, there is optimism about the fundamentals of apartment ownership and investing improving. The sentiment among brokers is more optimistic than among operators. 3. Class A and C Properties: Class A properties are in high demand, while Class C properties are currently out of favor. There is limited availability of properties on the market, and the bid-ask spread remains wide. 4. Interest Rates and Financing: Interest rates are expected to stay higher, but there is some expectation of rate cuts in the future. Banks are starting to open up to lending again after a period of tightening. 5. Distressed Properties: There is some distress in the market, particularly among properties financed with bridge loans. However, the overall percentage of distressed properties is relatively small. 6. Dallas-Fort Worth Market: The Dallas-Fort Worth market is highly favored, with strong fundamentals and high demand. 7. Future Outlook: Michael & James believe that the market will improve, with rent growth expected to return and supply issues easing. They suggest that now might be a good time to consider buying multifamily properties. New apartment supply is coming down rapidly and rental growth is coming back after 138 consecutive weeks of year-over-year decline. 8. Events and Networking: The Old Capital Bus Tour is on March 28th and a virtual Old Capital speaker series on February 5th are upcoming events for networking and learning more about the multifamily market. RSVP to OldCapitalPodcast.com Overall, the discussion highlights cautious optimism in the multifamily housing market, with a focus on strategic buying and navigating current challenges.

Paul Moore's first taste in real estate was in the single-family sector where he flipped over 50 homes and 25 high-end waterfront lots. He also appeared on HGTV's House Hunters, rehabbed and managed rental properties, built a number of new homes, developed a subdivision, and started two successful online real estate marketing firms prior to entering into the multifamily space. Paul's specialty is purchasing Class B value-add garden style apartment complexes in growing markets via a syndicated capital raise structure. Topics: How Paul got his start in large multifamily syndicated investments.

1. 2024 Performance: Michael was disappointed with the acquisition activity due to fluctuating interest rates and low transaction volumes. 2. Market Conditions: The fundamentals were soft in 2024 with flat to down rents, especially in Central Texas. Occupancy stabilized at around 93% portfolio-wide by January 2025. Michael anticipates a recovery in 2025, particularly in the second quarter when the supply of new properties is expected to decrease significantly. 3. Example Deal: Michael described a deal in Dallas involving a late 90s property bought for around $170,000 per door, with plans to invest about $10,000 per unit for renovations. The property is well-located with low rents compared to competitors and has a value-add opportunity. 4. National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC) Conference: The conference is a major event for multifamily real estate professionals, focusing on deal-making rather than education. It is beneficial for networking and meeting potential equity partners, though it may be overwhelming for newcomers. 5. Market Outlook: Michael expects higher occupancies and rent growth in 2025 as the supply of new properties decreases. He also notes that the current environment is challenging but sees a generational buying opportunity in multifamily real estate. 6. Advice for New Investors: New investors should start as limited partners to gain experience and recommends participating in educational events like bus tours to understand the market better.

Barry Minkow Exposes Multifamily Syndication Fraud: Insights From A Convicted Felon Now Working With the FBI!The multifamily syndication market is booming, but beneath the glossy marketing materials and promises of high returns lurks a darker side: widespread fraud. Today's podcast features Barry Minkow, a reformed businessman, preacher, and former convict, who brings a unique perspective to the world of distressed debt and real estate investing. He shares his insights into the often-hidden dangers of multifamily syndication schemes.Barry isn't your typical real estate expert. His experiences, including a stint in federal prison for fraud, give him a firsthand understanding of the deceptive tactics used by some promoters. His perspective is invaluable for investors looking to avoid costly mistakes. He warns against the hype surrounding Reg D offerings, emphasizing the importance of independent verification and due diligence. He says, "Don't rely on glossy marketing materials alone. Dig deeper. Verify everything. Because what looks too good to be true, usually is."Here are five key takeaways from Barry's insights:Beware of Overly High Returns: Multifamily syndications often promise unrealistic returns. Barry cautions investors to be wary of deals offering unusually high yields, as these may be indicators of fraudulent schemes. (He humorously calls this kind of promising "the lipstick on a pig" approach.)Independent Verification is Crucial: Don't blindly trust the information provided by promoters. Conduct thorough due diligence, including obtaining independent appraisals and reviewing financial statements, before investing. Barry's own experiences highlight the consequences of neglecting this crucial step. “Trust, but verify,” he says, a lesson he learned the hard way.Understand the Numbers: Analyze financial statements closely to avoid being misled by inflated numbers. Barry stresses the importance of understanding key metrics like LTV (loan-to-value ratio), occupancy rates, and debt service coverage ratios. “If the numbers don't add up, they're probably lying,” he warns, with a wink.Look for Red Flags: Barry points out several red flags to watch out for, including unrealistic projections, lack of transparency, and aggressive marketing tactics. He recommends paying close attention to the details; if something feels off, it probably is.Don't Be Afraid to Ask Questions: Barry emphasizes the importance of asking tough questions and challenging the information presented by promoters. Don't be afraid to ask follow up questions; if the promoter is trying to obfuscate information, it's a major red flag.Barry's insights offer a much-needed dose of reality in an otherwise overly hyped market. He urges investors to exercise caution, perform thorough due diligence, and prioritize financial literacy. The consequences of fraud can be devastating – financial ruin, legal battles, and even criminal charges. It's far more prudent to protect your investment by asking questions, performing due diligence, and making informed decisions.You can find Barry Minkow on Instagram (@MinkoBarry) and TikTok (@OneMinuteFraud). Remember, in the world of real estate investing, knowledge is power – and due diligence is your best defense.Watch the original VIDEO HERE!Book a call with SCOTT HERE!Love the show?

Before Matt and Melissa Mettry purchased a 12-unit apartment building in Dallas, they had already gained valuable experience as passive investors in several multifamily syndications. Through these investments, they learned just how crucial the role of the general partner (GP) is to the success of a project. To them, the general partner was like the captain of an airplane—responsible for navigating the journey, making key decisions, and leading a team of limited partners (LPs) to success. Inspired by their experience, Matt and Melissa decided it was time to move from the "passenger" seat to the "cockpit." They wanted to take an active role in real estate, but they also understood the importance of starting small. Their goal was to first learn the ins and outs of managing a smaller multifamily property before scaling up to larger, more complex deals. They were determined to take it one step at a time, mastering the fundamentals before making bigger moves. Are you interested in learning more about how Multifamily Syndications work?
