In this episode of the Multifamily Wealth Podcast, I discuss the two different types of investors in the multifamily business: decimal investors and deal investors. Decimal investors are those who primarily focus on analyzing deals through Excel sheets and lack experience in evaluating properties on-site. They struggle with understanding factors like location, building structure, and desirable floor plans. On the other hand, deal investors have a more holistic approach to investing, considering factors beyond just numbers. I also talk about the importance of being a deal investor and provide insights on how to achieve success in real estate investment.In this episode we discuss:How do decimal investors differ from deal investors?What activities do decimal investors focus on?What activities do deal investors prioritize?How do deal investors find better deals?Why is being a deal investor more advantageous in real estate investing?Are you tired of competing with other buyers and waiting on brokers to send you deals?

Welcome to a quick solo episode of the Multifamily Wealth Podcast! In this episode, we're delving into a critical topic that dispels a common misconception among newer multifamily investors: the profitability of smaller multifamily properties compared to their larger counterparts. While many in the industry advocate for pursuing larger deals, this episode sheds light on the math behind why small multifamily properties can be just as, if not more, profitable.We'll start by defining "small" and "large" multifamily properties with specific numbers. The central argument here is that while larger deals may seem more lucrative on the surface, the math often reveals a different reality. We'll walk you through two scenarios, one involving a five-unit property and the other a 50-unit property, breaking down the potential profits, equity requirements, and partnership dynamics. By the end of this episode, you'll have a fresh perspective on where to focus your time and investment efforts, as bigger doesn't always mean better in the world of real estate.

Welcome to the Managing CRE Risk podcast with Jeremy Goodrich. Our guest today is Axel Ragnarsson, an investor from Boston, MA with over 300 doors in his portfolio. In this conversation, we go deep into how to elevate your operations and manage risks in the current market. Axel shares with us the key things to look out for while underwriting, how to find the best property managers, and how to become a stellar operator. If you're into the multifamily market, then this episode is a must for you! Learn more about Axel and his journey at shineinsurance.com/managing-commercial-real-estate-risk! “There's so much fear in the market right now related to interest rates.”   01:39 At the beginning of our conversation, Axel explains what he sees as the biggest risk investors take nowadays. According to him, interest rates and cap rates are changing rapidly so it's even harder to buy at the right price. Therefore, investors should be more conservative with their underwriting.    However, there are still many opportunities in the current multifamily market as there is a lot of liquidity and rents are still going up. “A really significant component that separates the exceptional investors from the average ones, is they have a tight handle on the CapEx process.”   12:04 Axel shares his advice on the key things to focus on as an operator for a successful property. Be conservative in your dept assumption, cap rate assumption, and rent assumption. Make sure you stay on your renovation budget and CapEx budget. Don't just focus on your cash flow.  Have a clear plan for your expenses for the next few years. “We've ended relationships with owners before and we can always trace it back to poor expectation setting and poor communication upfront.”   29:46 At the end of the episode, Axel talks about how to succeed in property management as an operator. Get on the same page with your property management company before closing on a property. Share your underwriting with them and see if they can hit the metrics. Set your communication requirements and stick to them. Ask what software they're using. It should be one of the “Big 5”. Ask around for referrals from previous clients. About Our Guest, Axel Ragnarsson Axel is a New Hampshire native and has been a full-time real estate investor in the NH area for 5+ years.
