He spent the first few months out on a world tour, visiting 20 plus countries, then settled down in the Northwest with his family.

Should you try to time the market? No! Why? Because it is very hard to do well over the long term and it introduces significant transaction costs to the equation. Beginner investors have trouble staying the course in market downturns but I've noticed that what I call intermediate investors, people who have learned a thing or two about investing, become fearful at market highs and want to sell when the market is at new highs. What they don't realize is that the market is usually at new highs because it is usually going up. You are much better off setting a static asset allocation of a reasonable mix of stocks, bonds and or real estate and rebalancing back to it each year. That way you hold your risk constant, and when the inevitable downturn comes, because it's going to come, you can simply rebalance back to your percentages. That forces you to sell high and buy low because you're selling what did well in the recent past and buying what did poorly in the recent past to get back to your plan percentages, your planned asset allocation. If you look back at market history, you will see that on average, we see a market correction, a drop of 10% or more in the stock market about once a year. So if you're investing career is 60 years, 30 years while you're working, 30 years in retirement, you're going to see about 60 10% drops in the market. So this is not something that's unusual or something that's rare. This is something you should be planning for.

Managing your medical school loans is one of the most important first financial steps that a medical school student or resident needs to take care of. You need to have a student loan plan of action. Our guest today, Ben White, from https://www.benwhite.com/, wrote what I consider to be THE book on student loan management, called Medical Student Loans: A Comprehensive Guide, (get it for free at https://www.benwhite.com/studentloans/. When he started thinking and writing all about medical school loans there just was not that much information out there. He understands some of the history behind medical school loans, how things have changed, and has suggestions for how to handle the changes that could come in the future. He considers student loans to be a "gateway drug for personal finance education." For a lot of students, the moment that the monopoly money becomes real is the first time they have really been forced to confront these issues. We talk all about medical school loans in this episode. If you still have loans or work with students or residents that do, this is a an episode you don't want to miss.

Chad Doty has 12 years of experience as a multifamily investor, but he wasn’t born with realestate in his blood. Originally, Chad was a management consultant for Arthur Andersen. Watching that company meltdown prior to him making partner made him realize that letting outside circumstances control his life wasn’t for him. So Chad then founded his own consulting company, only to realize he was simply trading time for money. Determined to control his own destiny, Chad decided to leverage commercial multifamily real estate to develop recurring, passive income. He formed 37th Parallel Properties, a private real estate acquisitions and asset management firm. Podcast Highlights Who is Chad Doty? Chad was very driven as a kid, mainly due to his military father. He had aspirations to get into the Navy but because of a variety of reasons he wasn’t able to join. He decided to go into school and try to find something that he was really going to enjoy, he ended up becoming a network engineer and being very disappointed. He went back to school to get his MBA, found himself working for Anderson as a consultant and moving up through the ranks there. When you can answer the question of who you are a hero to, you will be playing an entirely different game from everyone else. Based on his DISC profile, Chad is a defined D and that heavily determines how he works and how he interacts with people on his team. What was it like to make such a drastic change? Chad didn’t really get the entrepreneurial bug until his mid 30’s. Most people can imagine what their perfect day looks like, but most people can’t imagine what a perfect month looks like. When Chad’s wife became pregnant that lit a fire underneath to make sure that when his child was born that he wouldn’t be an absent father. He was in the position to shift to his own client base and consultancy and in the following months made the move. When you go to do something different, a very powerful question you should ask yourself is “what is the worst that is going to happen?” You are 100% responsible for the results in your life, at least in how you respond to the events that occur. The Right Business Real estate wasn’t the first business that Chad attempted to get off the ground, he initially thought he didn’t like it. He started trading the market but felt that there were better ways to use the same engine and real estate fits the bill. People are always going to want a roof over their head so it passes the evergreen test. You can determine all things the affect you as an owner and if you focus on the fundamentals you can find success in real estate. Multifamily is going to be here for the foreseeable future, demographics basically ensure it’s a solid investment. What kind of market do you operate in? Chad uses a concept called your MAC profile, it stands for Market, Approach, and Capability. There are a million ways to make money in real estate but for Chad, he knew the approach they wanted to go with being long term holders of cash producing assets. They will hold the asset for as long as it performs at or above the market and the market hasn’t changed. When you get into real estate, you have to think about what kind of investor you want to be. The market has to match the approach and capability you bring to the table. People don’t pick properties to live at, they pick where the best part of town they can live based on job, school, and entertainment.

It is a tradition at The White Coat Investor to update the members of our community on the progress made in the last year. As usual, last year was our best year ever in nearly every respect. Thanks to all of you who have even the tiniest amount of responsibility for that. If you told even one person about the site or book or podcast, answered one question on the forum or Facebook group, or used the site to find a financial service provider you needed, THANK YOU. In this episode I talk about the state of the podcast in terms of the three missions of The White Coat Investor: Help those who wear the white coat (and other high-income professionals) get a “fair shake” on Wall Street Feed my entrepreneurial spirit Connect high-income professionals with the relatively few “good guys” in the financial services industry.

As you know, I’m primarily an index mutual fund guy. But there’s a strong body of evidence supporting alternative investments – especially commercial multifamily real estate. Multifamily real estate can provide non-correlated equity growth and tax-advantaged income. For those reasons and many more, I hold multifamily real estate investments in my portfolio. I’ve invested with 37th Parallel Properties as has several members of the White Coat Investor community. With over $425M in profitable multifamily transactions, they’ve made the Inc. 5000 list of fastest growing companies the past three years running. I’ve been pleased with 37th Parallel’s results and transparent reporting and I also really like their commitment to educate their investors.

Chad Doty has 12 years of experience as a multifamily investor, but he wasn’t born with real estate in his blood. Originally, Chad was a management consultant for Arthur Andersen. Watching that company meltdown prior to him making partner made him realize that letting outside circumstances control his life wasn’t for him. So Chad then founded his own consulting company, only to realize he was simply trading time for money. Determined to control his own destiny, Chad decided to leverage commercial multifamily real estate to develop recurring, passive income. He formed 37th Parallel Properties, a private real estate acquisitions and asset management rm. As the CEO of 37th Parallel Properties, Chad specializes in syndicating multifamily investments. His offerings allow investors access and opportunities to generate stable streams of tax-advantaged passive income and equity growth without needing to manage the property themselves. Through this approach, Chad helps investors get access to tax-advantaged apartment investments that can produce income and equity growth that have historically retained their value through economic downturns and nationally cycles. Chad is a proven multifamily veteran with over 12 years of investing experience, another 10 years of management consulting experience, and $325 million dollars in real estate transactions. On today’s episode, we talk with Chad about his story of growing up with his family and how working with his father taught him the importance of work ethic at an early age. Chad’s father gave him the book Think & Grow Rich at the age of 18 and Chad started to listening to inspiring and motivational speakers including Les Brown. Chad knew he wasn’t an entrepreneur but he did have a desire to learn and improve his life for himself and his family. Chad talks about how he had a burning desire for more freedom and control after working in corporate after college. You’ll learn what inspired Chad to get into real estate and the purpose behind choosing multifamily as a the primary asset class for his investing. We also talk about advice for any professionals who are currently investing in their 401K and what might be a good mix for investing to achieve financial freedom for you and your family. Chad shares with us the number # 1 reason his primary focus is multifamily (earning twice the money with half the time). We breakdown the the biggest difference between investing in residential vs. commercial real estate properties and how Chad’s biggest failure set up him up for success. Lastly, we wrap up the episode discussing the benefits of investing in multifamily apartment buildings and how to handle downturns in the real estate investment market. Key Points From This Episode: The story about Chad’s wife telling him she was pregnant with their son switched his mindset to focus on gaining more time, freedom, money, control and be there for his son Chad shares he didn’t grow up in real estate but rather picked it as a business analyst. He found that it had the best features that he wanted to build a wealth and get scale from people and time. After doing further research on real estate investing, he decided that multifamily was best real estate asset class. Amazing advice for any professionals who are currently investing in their 401K and how they should go about investing How you can decide what is a good mix when starting out in investing or should you focus on what investments are given to you as a default Chad shares how his failures as an entrepreneur later set him up for success The differences between residential vs. commercial real estate investing (trends, markets, etc.) The # 2 life-changing things Chad implemented to improved his business (the theory of constraint and shifting your business to scale from how and what vs. why and who Breakdown of

Today’s guest, Paul Moore, left a successful career at the Ford Motor Company to create financial independence through entrepreneurship. He successfully exited several businesses over the years and is now in the process of building a platform for investing in multifamily real estate. Paul is a co-founder of Wellings Capital and author of the book “The Perfect Investment: Create Enduring Wealth From Historic Shift In Multifamily Housing.” In this episode, Paul talks about how difficult it is to find good investment opportunities in the current environment -- particularly when your objective is to preserve capital. He also talks about the surprising ‘big why’ behind his investment business, so tune in to hear what that is. Investing in multifamily housing What are class B and class C properties? Paul’s business, Wellings Capital, purchases class B and C properties to update them, brings on investors, updates the buildings to standard, increase rents and returns a profit for those investors. But what is a class B or Class C property? Typically commercial sized apartment buildings from the ‘70s, ‘80s, and ‘90s in Paul’s case, they fall into two categories: Class B A class B property is typically outdated. Between 10-30 years old they (not always, but usually) have some level of functional obsolescence or that are in some way dated. Class C A class C property might have some additional things going against it. For example, it could be in a less desirable area. Or it could be very outdated or have some major deferred maintenance required on it. How Paul got into the real estate business After getting his engineering degree and MBA, Paul went to work at Ford headquarters for five years. He enjoyed his time there but wanted more. He knew that he was built to be an entrepreneur and so set about creating a life of independence with a classmate and colleague. Together they started an HR outsourcing company. Fast forward another five years and their Detroit-based business had sold to a publicly traded company. With his new found freedom, Paul moved his young family out to Virginia and became involved in flipping houses, building homes, and rental properties. Having caught the investment bug, he began experimenting. In 2010 he put some of his money into oil and gas in North Dakota. While visiting the area with his partner, they noticed there were limited places to stay, so they decided there was an opportunity to build a multifamily property. The project did well, but Paul later realized the risks associated with the volatility of the oil and gas market. After they had sold the asset, and following the oil and gas boom, the value took a nosedive. This combined with other experiences -- such as a Hyatt Hotel development that didn’t work out as he had hoped -- convinced Paul to avoid development in future, which led him to the current strategy of Wellings Capital. The transition to value add, multifamily properties In 2013 Paul and his partners came across 37th Parallel Properties out of Richmond Virginia. Rather than building a portfolio from the ground up, they decided to partner with 37th Parallel who mentored them into the business through their programme, which is how they got started. Wellings Capital as a group are extremely risk averse and so are as yet to find their first, perfect multiplex investment. Risk aversion As has often been mentioned on the podcast, when investing in real estate, you must invest for cash flow and base your projections on the current market conditions and assume that they won’t improve. Paul’s philosophy is to shoot for singles and doubles rather than swinging for the fences. His group opts to invest in large and growing markets. They have a 24-point screen for markets and look for things such as: A positive net population migration Low unemployment Diverse economy Job growth Income growth They look to avoid: Areas dependent on a military base where a change in government can dramatically change the outcome States like California, Nevada, Arizona, and Florida that have seen more volatility in real estate prices before, during, and after the recession Investing in large markets also gives them access to a choice of property managers, which is a key part of their formula. What Wellings Capital looks for in an investment property Paul looks for stabilized properties. He stays away from properties with less than 85-90% occupancy. Paul also avoids buildings with things like aluminum wiring, asbestos, lead paint, etc. Underwriting metrics When they are underwriting a deal financially, the metrics that they’re looking for include: A debt service coverage ratio of 1:1.5 or better (typically the banks look for a ratio of 1:1.3, giving themselves a 30% margin of safety) A break even occupancy of 80% or less - meaning anything above this level of occupancy they have a strong positive cash flow A cash-on-cash return of 5-10% net to the investor (growing over the years) A total return of 14-20% or more (total return includes the cash-on-cash return, plus the principal paydown, plus appreciation) Aside from forced appreciation, Paul is looking for appreciation of equity. This has two leverage factors. These two factors combined can allow properties to appreciate at a good rate. The simplest of these is leveraging with debt: If there is a 67% loan to value ratio, the equity is being leveraged at a 2:1 ratio. The second is related to net operating income. For example: If rent is a $1 and the cost of managing the property is 50¢, we have a 50¢ net operating income. If you raise the rent by 5%, it goes to $1.05. The net operating income has now been raised by 10% because we have reached a 55¢ margin over the original 50¢ margin. Wellings Capital look for properties where they can raise rents to see a net operating income increase of 20% or more for a strong ROI. The challenges in finding these deals Given Paul’s strict criteria, it is a challenge to find suitable opportunities. This is due to a number of reasons: There are a lot of new players entering the market The cities that they target draw a lot of attention and so there is increased competition They are not willing to take on smaller or larger properties than what they are already targeting because of the model they operate There is a lot of competition from foreign investors who are willing to simply break even and lose out on a profit in order to move their money into the American Dollar Paul’s surprising ‘why’ One of the things that Paul and his partners at Wellings Capital are passionate about is stopping human trafficking. If you take the record annual profits of GM, Nike, Starbucks, and Apple combine them and multiply that number by 2, that is the approximate revenue generated by human trafficking in the world. It’s a $150billion business. They are working with organisations like Harvest Home, Exodus Cry, to provide funding to fight the human trafficking industry.
