Whatever your prefered investment vehicles are, you'll be sure to gain some interesting insights in this episode. Key Takeaways: Mindset Matters: The right mindset is crucial for successful real estate investing. Shift from fear to confidence by understanding the market's current dynamics. Bridge the Buyer-Seller Gap: Recognize that there's always a gap in expectations between buyers and sellers. This gap exists even during market fluctuations. Embrace Opportunity in Distress: In times of economic uncertainty, distressed assets, like land, can offer significant discounts. Consider investing in illiquid assets when others hesitate. Patience and Discipline: Real estate investing is a long-term game. Patience, discipline, and a commitment to your strategy are key to achieving financial goals. Internalize Knowledge: When you learn something valuable, take time to internalize it. Believing in your investment decisions is critical for success. Learn from the Masters: Study successful investors like Warren Buffett and John Paulson. They faced fear but made informed decisions based on data, not emotions.

In March 2023, the biggest US bank failure since the 2008 global financial crisis happened as Silicon Valley Bank, a major lender to the tech industry collapsed from a bank run. The panic pushed two more US banks to fall over the edge while in the global banking stage, Credit Suisse, one of the world's biggest financial institutions, had to be rescued by the Swiss central bank from collapse. It has been an unsettling period for investors. But, should we be worried? What's the impact of this banking crisis on the real estate industry? What about the soaring interest rates and their consequences? As real estate investors, it is critical to be aware of the potential effects of this crisis and other factors at play in the financial system.

What is Neal's outlook on the credit markets amidst the banking crisis aftermath? Neal explains how and when interest rate hikes impact the economy. What can investors do to protect their investments amidst economic and financial instability?

Neal's 5-year and 10-year outlook on the US economy Neal's contact information Tweetables: “The mindset that you need to have? Engagement, engagement, and more engagement.” - Neal Bawa “As a limited partner investor, your job is to be an investor that thinks like Warren Buffett. Warren Buffett gets hit every time the market goes down. But guess what he does, he buys a lot more.” - Neal Bawa “Right now multifamily is a falling knife. Single-family is a knife that's falling but in slow motion. So, it's actually much safer.” - Neal Bawa “The market is about to lose a lot of syndicators. I think 30% of syndicators will say goodbye to the world of syndication.” - Neal Bawa "The biggest part of your mindset today is, to tell the truth to your investors. But tell them about the opportunity that's coming up." - Neal Bawa “You're gonna say, I don't want to buy any more multifamily. I have cash calls coming on four or five of my properties. Biggest mistake ever. The cash calls are the reason why the opportunity is so massive today.” - Neal Bawa “The risk is out of our control. But as you continue to get educated about where things are moving, about the best moves to hedge yourself in challenging circumstances, that's how you're going to position yourself to be successful in the long term.” - Tyler Chesser “Real estate is not day trading; it is about being successful in the long term.” - Tyler Chesser “There are a lot of challenges in today's economy and today's market but there are also tremendous opportunities.” - Tyler Chesser Links Mentioned: Neal Bawa on LinkedIn Multifamily University Grocapitus Investments Peter Zeihan's books The Fourth Turning by Willian Strauss and Neil Howe Principle for Dealing with The Changing World Order by Ray Dalio Invest with CF Capital About Neal Bawa Neal Bawa is a technologist who is universally known in real estate circles as the Mad Scientist of Multifamily.

As much as rents have risen over the past several years, the gap between home ownership and renting is the largest in history by a very, very wide margin, according to Neal Bawa. Neal is the CEO and Founder of Multifamily University and Grocapitus Investments, he's a technologist who is universally known in real estate circles as the "Mad Scientist of Multifamily". As he looks at the current state of the markets, he sees “Build To Rent” as the hottest part of real estate right now. He believes that population demographic shifts are not only important, but they're all that matters when selecting markets to invest in. He's looking at build to rent multifamily as "horizontal apartments" and it's a market he expects to continue growing. He realizes that it doesn't work everywhere, it uses a lot more land for one thing, so the location is important, perhaps on the edges of suburbs where land is cheaper and more available.

Brandon Magierowski is an active syndicator and loan broker; he currently owns multiple multifamily properties in Louisiana, Texas, and Florida and is a graduate of Multifamily University. Brandon is actually living the American Dream. He came from Canada to play baseball. Then he met a girl who became his wife and became a permanent resident. After graduating from school, Brandon started a baseball business where he met one of his current real estate partners. They wanted to invest in real estate, so they hired a coach and joined a mentorship program to learn how to do it. They purchased a triplex and a 6-unit property in just a few months. They wanted to scale, so they went to a boot camp to learn how to syndicate apartments. Their first deal as syndicators was a 119-unit in Lubbock, Texas. In this episode, Brandon will share the lessons he learned throughout his journey in real estate. Listen now!
Real estate is a people business. At the end of the day, it will all boil down to your relationships. Because the space is getting more and more competitive by the day—penetrating markets, capital raising, and closing deals will only get more accessible by connecting with the right people---the people they know, and so forth.

We have some incredibly powerful information to share with you today on disruptive forces and trends that will be dramatically altering the course of real estate investing for the next ten years, and I'm so excited to have Neal Bawa back on the show to share it with us. For those of you who don't know Neal, he is considered the Mad Scientist of Multifamily, and I've been following Neal and his companies Grocapitus and Multifamily University for years because he takes data science, statistics, and technological advancements and in an amazing and exciting way forecasts trends that very few investors are paying attention to. So prepare yourself for a fascinating conversation, because Neal is going to take us through several disruptive trends that are going to change the way people live and invest. We'll be discussing Hybrid Work and how we've only seen the tip of the iceberg in people working from home and companies allowing them to do so. You'll also learn about Tokenization and Smart Contracts, and how this will allow investors to buy and sell real estate much like they do stocks or cryptocurrency. It will also lead to a dramatic decrease in the number of syndicators over the next 10 years. Neal also touches on several other powerful forces that will have a massive impact on investing, such as Suburbanization and the growth of tertiary markets outside Primary Metros, Augmented Reality, Staycations, and 15-minute cities. I know you're going to get huge value from today's episode.

Do you need help investing in real estate? Do you understand how to grow, scale, and profitably build your company into the business that you want it to be? You're in luck! I've been working for the past several years with some of the most successful real estate investors in the industry and from around the country. Names such as Andy McFarland and Bill Allen, along with myself, have built a program called “Seven Figure Flipping.” This exclusive mastermind and coaching program is designed to get you and your business to the next level. Interested in finding out more? Email me at Mike@juststartrealestate.com with the subject line “help,” and we'll get on a call together to see if this program is a good fit for you and your business. In this episode, I chat with Anna Myers, who is an incredibly successful commercial multi-family real estate investor. Anna began her investing career in San Diego after leaving the IT industry. She has successfully applied her knowledge and experience in the IT world to create a brilliant and successful real estate company. Besides running her own real estate company, Anna is also an instructor at Multifamily University. Anna and Neil, a founder of Multifamily University, partnered to purchase apartments in 2018 and are looking to put more apartments in their portfolio. Anna's grandfather was a real estate magnate in California. She is the youngest grandchild of the family of a commercial real estate family. Her first career was in computer programming, and her degrees are all in IT. Her next job was as a digital photographer in southern California. She learned about business ownership and found out about scaling a business. She then set a five-year plan to exit her photography business and to become a full-time real estate investor. Initially, Anna planned on investing in a single-family home. As she analyzed markets, she realized this was hard to scale. The value of a commercial multi-family home is much better than a single-family home. The variables you can control put you ahead financially than a single-family home. She took a boot camp on investing in commercial multi-family and decided to dive into this investment. Anna talks about the types of markets you want to look for when investing in your new property. Elements to look at are job growth, population growth, and other factors. She also looks at these factors in a specific way. All of her purchases have to make sense from a data standpoint. She currently has a team of real estate investors. Anna's team are equity investors who are trained on how to use data science to buy apartments using data-based information. Their team does not buy in California. Make sure to partner with people who live in the town you are investing in and people who are willing to travel to the investment city regularly. Additionally, make sure you have a suitable lender and broker relationships to get the best deals. Anna describes how to find a good property manager by setting up appointments, asking the right questions, and looking at their Google and Yelp reviews, among other metrics. Property management for 80 units and above, make sure you have a person who is full-time property management for this investment. Your manager will also need someone to look over them to see the progress of the property. Anna has a tracker to have visibility into this day-to-day process. Listen in to find out what types of buildings are more desirable, should you purchase a building that already has renters, and what types of renovation are appropriate for the types of tenant buildings and area you are renting your apartments. Find out what percentage of your building do you need to have filled with getting a Fannie Mae loan and information on Bridge Loans. Learn how you can experience tax benefits with opportunity zones.
