He uses a data and science approach to investing. He currently has 1500 single family residence doors and 700 and multi 750 multifamily doors.   Sam Wilson (00:01:02) - Sean, welcome to the show.   Sean Tagge (00:01:04) - Hey Sam man. Super excited and honored to be on the show with you. And yeah, excited to dive on in. Hopefully, you know we can get some good golden nuggets for the audience.   Sam Wilson (00:01:13) - Absolutely Sean. Appreciate you coming on today. There are three questions I ask every guest who comes on the show in 90s or less. Can you tell me where did you start? Where are you now and how did you get there?   Sean Tagge (00:01:23) - Yeah, started in Memphis, Tennessee. I moved from Utah to Memphis and joined on with some partners and started doing turnkey single family flips. So flipped 1500 single family houses. I came on as a VP of operations and got made partner after two years. Ramp that up a lot. That business. We're up to doing about 320 houses a year at one time in the heyday, and then about 3 or 4 years ago started doing multifamily syndications and syndicated about five different complexes in $750. And we currently have 650 that were still in the operating phase.   Sam Wilson (00:01:59) - Wow. Okay. So you came on as partner there at a firm here in Memphis, and you guys did your you helped do 1500 single family residence flips and then you guys and you're doing more. What did you say on average I guess 320 a year.   Sean Tagge (00:02:14) - Yeah. The highest we did in one year. But yeah 250 or so a year to three, 320. Yeah.   Sam Wilson (00:02:19) - That's rolling. I mean that's a house every single day almost.   Sean Tagge (00:02:23) - Hey we were yeah that was our goal house a day. You know it keeps the doctor away. We were trying that got up there. It gets a little hectic after a while.   Sam Wilson (00:02:32) - Yeah no I can't I mean I don't even want to imagine that. Right? I mean, like there's some businesses where you're like, oh my gosh, someday, like, maybe we'll grow to that size. Like I have no aspirations of that. When I think about that, I'm like, no, man, I'm already bald. Like, I don't I don't ever want to do a house.   Sam Wilson (00:02:46) - Yeah, I don't care what the payoff is. That's that's a.   Sean Tagge (00:02:49) - Lot. There's only a few in the whole country that even do up to there. I mean, I only knew maybe five that were in the 300 plus in the whole country. And yeah, it's for a reason. And that's kind of why we started flipping. Had rather do 100 houses one time instead of 100 houses 100 times. Right. So multifamily.   Sam Wilson (00:03:07) - Right. So you got a new multifamily and did you do this on your own or there with that firm here in. Yeah, with.   Sean Tagge (00:03:11) - The same partners. We kind of had a lot of big investor lists. I already had rental crews and everything. And it's a lot easier for them to do 20 doors in one little area instead of 20 kind of spread out. So yeah, it just really helped out from that, that perspective and just kind of started slowly growing.   Sam Wilson (00:03:25) - That did there's because was there a shift in the model? Because in the turnkey residence model, you know, it's it's for most turnkey providers at least it's buy the house, renovate it, put a tenant in place and then sell that individual home off to an investor.   Sam Wilson (00:03:41) - But when you're doing an apartment complex, the model is typically as a syndicator, raise the money, buy the apartment complex, hold it in house, execute the business plan, and sell it later on down the road when it makes sense to exit. What was the model in the multifamily space?   Sean Tagge (00:03:56) - Yeah, so like I said, the single family, yeah, we were done with them in 90 days or so. Just a quick flip with the multifamily. Yeah, there are more a year or two hold and then a couple others. We're doing a five year old model with a refinance in it, and the first one we just did with our own capital, you know, played around with our own money first, made the mistakes and learned. And it was very successful. So then the other four we brought on investors, put in a lot of our own money as well, and one we hope to be selling maybe summer of of 2024. That would be like a two year. I guess a flip for a multifamily is probably that's like the timeline for multifamily flip.   Sean Tagge (00:04:34) - And then the others. Yeah. And then two others we refinance pulled out like 70 to 85% of the investors capital, and we'll hold on to them for another three years completing like a five year total hold.   Sam Wilson (00:04:45) - Right. Okay. Cool.   Sean Tagge (00:04:47) - So you said so just kind of yeah. Just kind of depended on the, you know, the the investment, the area, you know, the, the IRR we could achieve if we think we could flip it quickly or hold on longer. So we just kind of analyzed each deal and had a different plan.   Sam Wilson (00:05:01) - Got it. Okay. So you said you made some mistakes in the first one with your own capital. What would you say some of those mistakes are.   Sean Tagge (00:05:08) - Yeah. So this one we bought during Covid time. So underestimating and really not predicting inflation and rehab costs and material costs just going through the roof through all that. And then we had a plumbing issue where we had like 2030 grand. We had to dig out a plumbing line and fix all that.   Sean Tagge (00:05:30) - And it just took a while. Also working with the city through Covid, when a lot of their employees are, you know, whatever, working from home or whatever. And it just took a while to get all that done. So it's like some things like that, you know, just some are unforeseeable, but some we could have planned a bit better.   Sam Wilson (00:05:46) - Yeah. And build. Thing in. I guess that margin for those unforeseeable things is probably just something you do guess, probably naturally at this point. Correct? You're right. Yeah. In getting inspected, I don't know. Were you guys part of the zoom inspections? Did you guys have any of that stuff?   Sean Tagge (00:06:02) - No, we man, we weren't lucky enough to get those. I think yeah some the. Yeah. Like the what is it, the section eight. They would just have us like inspected ourselves. So we're like yeah it looks great. You know, it looks you know, there's a few things we're going to fix. But yeah right.   Sam Wilson (00:06:18) - But no, everything else is perfect I swear. Yeah, yeah. We had we had some of that here. I'm surprised you guys didn't see that as well. So it. Yeah, there was some zoom inspections that occurred. I thought it was pretty funny. How are you doing a structural inspect anyway? Yeah, those those guys are behind us, but, you know. But none of those are things I don't hear, you know, you know, to right now, we're hearing a lot of pain in the market. We're seeing a lot of pain in the market where people are going, hey, you know what? They took out short term debt and now they can't refi. Or they, you know, they didn't, you know, capitalize the deal properly. And so expenses, you know, I just had another guest on the show today that their insurance costs in Florida have quadrupled since they acquired the asset a couple of years ago. And suddenly their cash flow negative just because of, you know, enormous insurance premiums.   Sam Wilson (00:07:06) - Right. So it doesn't like you made any of those mistakes. It was just, you know, some of the more common ones along the way where you're like, oh, well, that that kind of stunk. But we figured it out and keep moving, right?   Sam Wilson (00:07:15) - Yeah.   Sam Wilson (00:07:16) - That's awesome. That's awesome. What is your plan moving forward? Are you still working with this same group? Because now you've you've even relocated back to. Yeah Utah.   Sean Tagge (00:07:24) - Yeah. So I've exited the single family turnkey flipping. You know just just a grind. I'd rather do multifamily. So I'm off on my own. Doing Acorn Equity and Acquisitions is my company. And we are. Yeah we actually have under contract. So I've been searching this whole year for a multifamily, you know, tons of brokers and you know, seller expectations are still high. So we finally got one down to the right price where it fits our, you know, returns and business plan model. So we have a 206 unit under contract in Nashville Tennessee.   Sean Tagge (00:07:57) - Simple value add C class 1970s build type of house multifamily and going to raise rents $200 a door across all the units with 2 million in repairs or so.   Sam Wilson (00:08:08) - Got it. Okay, well, let's let's dig in to this particular asset because I think this is an interesting conversation. You mentioned C class. We're seeing a lot of C class defaults. We're seeing assets trade below what they were purchased for two years ago. Currently in C class. Why do you feel like now is a good time to buy a C class asset? I guess just tell me. Tell me why this asset in particular makes sense for you, right?   Sean Tagge (00:08:34) - Yeah. So we're buying it at an attractive price. So about 20% below the previous years. And it's this group. Why. Well the group has they own thousands of units their larger real estate private equity firm. And this is their last one in Nashville. And most of their plans and their funds they have they're open for five years. And so they need to close the fund.   Sean Tagge (00:08:54) - And this is like the last one in the Nashville area. Most of their other assets are in Texas. So I mean, they've owned for five years. So they're doing really well even at the price, selling it below market of two years ago or a year ago market. It's fine for them. So win for them and then a win for us because we're getting it down lower and attractive entry. And then I feel my data and research I feel very strong on Nashville, the headwinds and the sorry the tailwinds behind it of, you know, long term. Maybe there might be a down year in the next five years. I mean, I think there will be, but in five years, long term, I think it's going to average out good appreciation and rent growth.   Sam Wilson (00:09:30) - Right? I think picking picking your market, it sounds like it's one of the things that plays into a big part of your data and also your research. Obviously you got to spend some time here in Tennessee, actually. How long were you here? You lived here for a decade.   Sean Tagge (00:09:43) - Yes. Six years. Yeah.   Sam Wilson (00:09:45) - Okay. Okay. You're here for six years. So you got a good feel for what the state has to offer. And Nashville in particular, you know, obviously has some tailwinds to it that, you know, a lot of cities don't. So I don't know where where Nashville ranks on the fastest growing cities in the US. But I think it's it's there.   Sean Tagge (00:10:01) - Yeah. It's always up there with job growth and this. And then another thing nice about Nashville, I don't know if you want to dive too much into it, but it's it's still below the national average cost of living. And like if you've been in Nashville, you walk that city, you're like, this is this is a Dallas Houston. You know, this is you know, it's not New York yet, but this is up and coming city where it's going to be expensive someday. So it's still below the national average.   Sam Wilson (00:10:24) - Cost of living, which.   Sam Wilson (00:10:25) - I think in Tennessee in general, probably exactly.   Sam Wilson (00:10:27) - Still trends, trends below that which is which is great for those of us that live here. We we appreciate the lower. Certainly.   Sean Tagge (00:10:34) - Yes, yes, it's nice, but we can obviously see it's not going to be that way forever, I think.   Sam Wilson (00:10:40) - I don't know, I think Memphis might be.   Sean Tagge (00:10:42) - Yeah, maybe some specific city. Yes, maybe. But the Nashville. Got a new guy, you know, not, you know, Knoxville. Those are nice cities.   Sam Wilson (00:10:50) - They are. They are indeed. What are some things you said you use a science and data approach to investing? What does that mean to you?   Sean Tagge (00:10:59) - I mean, yeah. So it's, you know, data spreadsheets. So when I was doing biomedical, I did artificial heart research. And so yeah, learned a lot of just, you know, using the scientific theory data and spreadsheets and basically just, you know, getting averages and then looking at macro and micro micro trends. So yeah, just kind of see that with with Nashville, you know, the rent growth appreciation, everything like that.   Sean Tagge (00:11:23) - Then also of course, you know, jobs coming in and all that stuff is what I use. And that's kind of how I picked Memphis about seven years ago is I just saw it had a high rent to value ratio, did did that across the whole country and is one of the top three consistently now. It's not quite so much so. So yeah.   Sam Wilson (00:11:43) - Yeah. We've certainly seen a price appreciation here in Memphis again. You know compared to a national average it's still probably on the lower end of things. Are there anything though. But guess when when you. When you say you use data in a scientific method approach. I mean, is there anything that you say, hey, this is a this is a data point. I look at that many people wouldn't think to consider.   Sean Tagge (00:12:05) - Of I mean man, it's so with with you got co-star and all the data. It's really just it's out there for everyone. It just really takes that work though, of gathering several cities, comparing them across one another and yeah, diving into that.   Sean Tagge (00:12:20) - So I can't say I have a secret sauce I wish I did. Maybe I wouldn't tell it if I did, but I really don't, I don't, I swear I don't. It's just it's.   Sam Wilson (00:12:28) - That. Okay.   Sam Wilson (00:12:30) - Okay. I was hoping for something really random where you're like, man, you know what I consider the number of feet of, you know, plumbing at any given, like, weight, right? Yeah. But somehow you figured out that that translates into higher rents. I don't know, just throw in throwing things out there. Okay, so no secret sauce, but yet there's still opportunity out there. What did you do to make yourself an attractive buyer to this seller?   Sean Tagge (00:12:54) - Right? Yes. So we you know what we were we were just there consistently. So is actually this broker relationship we've built up over several months. So that that really there were two other 2 or 3 other offers. We were actually a little bit lower. But the fact that we were consistently showing up, you know, and making offers and other deals, maybe getting outbid a little bit and just showing that we're here consistently.   Sean Tagge (00:13:16) - And then the fact that we own, you know, so I'm partner up with Compass Capital, Sam Brower and Michael Wheatley. They're kind of my my I've known them from college as well. Good, good buddies of mine. We've talked for six years wanting to do a deal together. So this is one we're finally on together. And yeah, so that as well as we own 200 units nearby and was able to perform on those raise rents and execute on the business plan.   Sam Wilson (00:13:39) - Got it. Okay. No that's super cool. That's super cool. So Compass Capital those are they going to be your boots on the ground running it.   Sean Tagge (00:13:47) - Yeah they're the boots on the ground. And then a property management company as well over there.   Sam Wilson (00:13:51) - Got it. Okay cool. Because that's gonna be my next question was going to say okay. So you're now living in Utah. How are you taking this down? How are you selecting contractors? How are you getting this thing, you know, on the ground?   Sean Tagge (00:14:01) - So I already performed the property management company has a rental company in-house, which I like that as well, you know, and they actually they actually hit the budget on the other 200 units, which is that was like that's some of the first questions like can they perform on the budget? And that's usually the roll of the dice when you're starting a new market.   Sean Tagge (00:14:18) - Is your contractor because I mean, us, whenever we try a new contractor, we're just like, hey, it's a third chance. We keep them for a year or longer. You know, it's just something that risky take. So it's nice to know that we already have tested that and they've proven and they have thousands of other doors they performed on.   Sam Wilson (00:14:36) - Repetition is so much easier than starting over and trying to figure it out in the beginning, I think. Yes, the stat you used there, which is there's a one third chance that you'll still be working together in a year when it comes to the general, which is unfortunate, but it's just it's a reality of things.   Sam Wilson (00:14:52) - Yeah.   Sean Tagge (00:14:52) - It's that maybe even less sometimes.   Sam Wilson (00:14:54) - Yeah.   Sam Wilson (00:14:55) - Right. Oh, man. Yeah. That's a that's really cool I like that. So you've already got the business plan in place. You've got the partners, you've already got the renovation, the property management. You guys are just hitting go. Is there any other hair on this deal that you look at and say, hey man, this is going to be an obstacle we're going to have to overcome? And if so, how are you going to do it?   Sean Tagge (00:15:11) - Great question Sam.   Sean Tagge (00:15:12) - So yeah, you know, for us it's just a straight base hit, which I kind of like. It's like, you know, someone smart told me, if you make money on something, you know, and it performs well, you've done it a few times. Just keep doing it. Do it and do it again. So this one is we're just going in. We're renovating the exterior, making it look nice, some of the railings and you know, the paint chipping the roofs, you know, the exterior siding on some units. Then in the interiors we're just, you know, we're putting in what's for the market rent. So we're not going anything too fancy and just keeping it in line and simply what it is, is just the current property manager. They haven't risen rents much over the past two years, and as we know, rents have gone up 20%. And so it's just simply asking and the property is 99% occupied. So that shows me they're not pushing rents really high is they're just kind of complacent and just it's just kind of easier just to renew and maybe not even ask for an increase.   Sean Tagge (00:16:06) - And so we're going to push that a little bit and yeah get it up to market rents.   Sam Wilson (00:16:11) - Right. Well and especially in the Nashville market which again was just seeing incredible growth. If you're if your rents aren't keeping pace what what what do you think about this? I heard this strategy one time. The guy came on the show and he's buying mobile home parks. And one of the things that he required his sellers to do was to raise rents before they bought the property.   Sean Tagge (00:16:34) - That dude, I like that a lot is like, hey, let's test this on whatever's vacant right now. Let's bump it up to whatever, 100 bucks more a month. I like that a lot. Yeah, we haven't tried that on this one, but I've heard a couple of guys doing that. I think that's a great strategy. Maybe even writing that in your contract and just. Yeah, getting the feedback from the leasing.   Sam Wilson (00:16:53) - People, getting.   Sam Wilson (00:16:54) - The feedback from the leasing people and then making the sellers the bad guys, I mean, that's that was his strategy.   Sam Wilson (00:16:59) - He said, hey, look, one, we get a raise in rents and then we also come in, you know, without having to get the flack of, oh, we just bought the property. And now you guys are, you know, coming in here and raising prices and all that. The previous seller did it. Right.   Sean Tagge (00:17:12) - So another another thing like this is totally crazy idea of that was like why not maybe like renovate it to what you kind of are going to make the units renovated at and do an a, B split test of two units in the nicer, higher range, which is kind of what our model is versus the current ones at maybe just even a little less in your range, but higher than currently, obviously. Like you got to write something in of who's going to pay for those renovations and everything. But I mean, that may be worth the, you know, whatever, 1020 grand risk to kind of know if you can prove the.   Sam Wilson (00:17:42) - Theory, right.   Sam Wilson (00:17:43) - No, I think that's great.   Sam Wilson (00:17:44) - Think that's great and that's that. I mean, and again, people are constantly looking for new ways or new strategies to add value in that term. Add value is getting tougher to do.   Sam Wilson (00:17:54) - Mean yes for.   Sam Wilson (00:17:55) - Sure. So, you know, do it. Taking some creative strategies like that I think is really, really important. Let's let's shift gears here a little bit. You said you spent all year working to get this 206 unit under contract. You're moving forward. That that sounds amazing. But I know we talked about this before the show began. You've also got your hands in business. So tell me why you're kind of splitting your focus here.   Sean Tagge (00:18:20) - Right? Yeah. So of course, flipped 1500 single family houses. And I had renovation crews and they had subcontractors. And what I've just seen from the single family residential era of any Hvac, plumbing or electrical, roofing, fencing, I mean, any type of contractor. If you answer your phone, number one, show up to the job and give a bid and then actually do what you're going to say, you're probably ahead about ahead of 80%, 90% of the competition.   Sean Tagge (00:18:51) - And so, yeah, I'm under contract under lock on an Hvac company. And it's it's also I'm keeping one of the partner who's licensed on will stay on. So it's kind of nice is you know I'm good at high level business stuff marketing you know, systems and processes, you know, and acquiring more. And so but then I have a day to day operator as well that I'm partnering up with. So if we're up a bit of my time, take up a bit of my time, but I'll learn a lot from that and can translate the business principles for multifamily and also the renovation.   Sam Wilson (00:19:23) - Side of.   Sam Wilson (00:19:23) - That business in Utah. Or is that back here in Tennessee?   Sean Tagge (00:19:27) - Yeah, it's in Utah.   Sam Wilson (00:19:28) - Okay, okay. The skilled trades I mean, finding, as you said.   Sam Wilson (00:19:32) - Finding.   Sam Wilson (00:19:33) - Not just I think the four criteria, whatever, 4 or 5 criteria you gave, one is for any contractor to show up. But finding then also the skilled trades I mean those are those are the places where it is, like you mentioned, plumbers, electricians, Hvac guys.   Sam Wilson (00:19:48) - You get inside of those three and that and if you can again answer the phone and show up, I mean, I commonly won't even ask for a second bid if you're if you're competent in any of those three trades and you show up and you're like, right.   Sam Wilson (00:20:01) - We can get it done.   Sean Tagge (00:20:01) - I mean, I was because, yeah, I've tried to personally get a house renovated and like I literally had to call, I think 3 or 4 guys and two of them didn't answer, then two answered, but then one didn't show up and one showed up like two weeks later. And the guy that showed up two weeks later, he got the job because I was just, quite frankly, just like, I need to get this done and I'm tired of this, like, just let's do it. And so it's crazy. And what I got good at when we flipped the 1500 single family houses is we had a ton of marketing and made a ton of offers and went on a ton of appointments to make offers personally at people's houses.   Sean Tagge (00:20:35) - And so I had a VA, basically a call center in house call center scripts and then boots on the ground guys making offers. And so I'm kind of going apply that principles and softwares that I connect together, because we follow up with automated texts and emails and tasks to call and all of that. So I'm kind of going to use all those processes to be, you know, be the person answering the phone, because basically it's just a race to the to the answering the phone and showing up is you'll get the business. Then the second end, of course, is, you know, the hiring people, managing the crews, making sure they're doing a job well done, have processes as well for that, which I learned a lot from flipping 1500 single family houses. And of course, some of the rentals go overboard and we're not doing as well in a timely manner and things like that. So using data and actually tracking it and reporting it weekly, right. So I mean, this is for anything, but, you know, this works for multifamily syndication as well as.   Sean Tagge (00:21:27) - Right. You just what is it. There's someone that said, you know, what gets measured gets done. And then I think add on top of. What gets measured and reported on the rate of improvement increases. So just having that accountability is like, hey, you know, here, here we're at in the project and every week we're just following up on the numbers. Here's where I'm on our budget. Here's how much is completed. Here's the goal I mean, like you don't even really need to say much after that. You just look at the data and the person who's responsible for it can just see, oh, I'm ahead or not on this. And then it gives you a lot of opportunity for coaching and help and giving them tools to succeed.   Sam Wilson (00:22:06) - That's really cool, I love that. I love that idea of, I mean, because there are other cross disciplines or other disciplines that go across all of these different segments, from an eight company to a multifamily property, it's kind of all the same in that that the measuring the key performance indicators, tracking all that stuff and figure out where people are is, yeah, really and powerful.   Sean Tagge (00:22:26) - And what I like to is when I was flipping a house, I had to do ten of those things, right? Ten different trades and electricians, plumbers, painters or this. It's just one simple, hey, just the Hvac system. We can focus on that. So I don't know. Frankly, I think it's simpler. Right? It's much simpler than flipping a house.   Sam Wilson (00:22:40) - So I would agree, man. There's there's I don't have any desire to go back to flipping houses at all. So don't I'm like you, I don't I don't miss it certainly was good to me, but I don't miss it. Sean, thank you for taking the time here to come on the show today. I certainly appreciate it.

Kathy Portley is the President of the Tulsa Real Estate Investors Association (REIA), a premier networking group for real estate investors in Oklahoma. As a licensed real estate agent and investor, she also works with eXp Realty, where she represents traditional consumers and investors in real estate transactions. With almost two decades of experience in the real estate industry, Kathy is a trusted coach and mentor, helping investors achieve their goals. In this episode… As the real estate market surges, institutionalized and corporate buyers purchase homes above the market rate in affordable cities like Tulsa, Oklahoma. This creates an opportunity for out-of-state investors to redefine affordable and workforce housing criteria, creating disparaged communities. How can you incentivize local investors to rebuild the market? According to real estate coach Kathy Portley, institutional buyers drive out local investors and landlords by paying inflated prices for real estate in cities like Tulsa. Over time, this practice can dramatically increase the property costs for traditional and local investors and make homes less affordable, causing them to raise rental rates. With rent going up, tenants may be forced into deferring payment. As a result, investors find it hard to afford to keep the property, so they sell to the highest bidder — the institutional buyer. This cylindrical cycle continues to escalate the market and affect affordable housing availability. Real estate investor networks like Tulsa REIA clarify notions of affordable housing by educating the market on tenant retaliation laws and landlord rights. Kathy also recommends instructing local investors and homeowners on the consequences of selling properties to corporate investors. In this episode of The Same Day Podcast, Kathy Portley, the President of Tulsa REIA, joins Mat Zalk to educate investors on the local housing market. Kathy explains her vision for scaling Tulsa REIA, the barriers to local real estate investing, and Tulsa REIA's resources for new investors.

Discovering Multifamily Episode 242: How One Investor Jason Malabute With a Disability Found Multifamily Real Estate SuccessBorn in Los Angeles, California, Jason Malabute, an MBA, is a seasoned Real Estate Investor, an active Philanthropist, and a CPA (Certified Public Accountant). Despite being born with a condition called ‘Cerebral Palsy' that affects speech and muscle movement, Jason Malabute never took it as an excuse and used his disability as a motivation instead. Jason Malabute started his real estate journey in 2018 and studied real estate for 1 whole year before finally investing in three rentals in the very first year of 2019, in Indianapolis. After successfully following the investment strategy called BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, and Repeat) for multiple properties, Mr Malabute took the leap from single-family to multifamily investing under the mentorship of Sterling White. Sterling White is the founder of Sonders Investment Group and is involved with both buying and selling over 100 single family homes. Mr. White has recently scaled his portfolio to just under 500 multi family apartment units.Following the footsteps of Sterling White, today, Jason Malabute is the proud owner of Malabute Properties LLC and has recently exited out from all the single-family homes in 2021. He has now totally submerged into the multifamily investing in Indianapolis and Kansas City areas, where his prime interest remains in acquiring 6-30 unit apartment buildings.YouTube:  https://youtu.be/gw7-tNhIKNwWebsite: www.redknightproperties.com/media   iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/discovering-multifamily/id1506820688   #financialfreedom #passiveinvesting #activeinvesting #investsmart #investwisely #buildingwealth #multifamily #podcast #Red Knight Properties #Anthony Scandariato #Brian Leonard #investing in real estate

In today's show I dive in on a common mistake I see many real estate investors which is solving for problems you haven't had the right yet to solve. Every business faces different challenges at different stages of growth. The key is to tackle the issues that matter at your current stage instead of going after everything at once. Doing this will allow you to actually make progress in growing your business instead of spinning in circles on a hamster wheel.I hope you get some good insights from this episode!

Flood risk is often an under-considered topic for real estate investors. Investors should think about flood zones for several reasons, including using them strategically to discover new properties. On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan interviews D.J. McClure from National Flood Experts, the number-one resource for flood zone solutions nationwide. D.J. is the Vice President of Sales and Business Development and has been with National Flood Experts since 2019. He's also an investor who bought his first property at 25 and used it as a house hack with roommates. Jonathan and D.J. dive into the episode by explaining why real estate investors need flood insurance and how you can shop premiums. You'll also hear how flood zones are created and maintained, the effect climate change has on flood zoning, and the opportunities that may present themselves for investors when other buyers are scared off by a property in a flood zone. D.J. also shares some strategies cash investors implement to hedge value and how it can bite them later, the reason most people don't realize how many flood zones may exist in a particular town, and how D.J. has leveraged the relationships he's built while working at National Flood Experts to build a portfolio. There is so much more nuance to flood zones and flood insurance products than you would expect, and if you're an investor or want to become an investor, this is an important topic you need in your toolbelt. In this episode, you will hear: How D.J. McClure began his real estate investing career at 25 years old with house hacking and what he would have done differently with that experience His introduction to National Flood experts Why flood insurance is a crucial product for investors and D.J.'s tips for getting a better premium The creation and maintenance of flood zones and how often they're updated The effects of climate change on flood zoning Opportunities for investors when others are afraid to buy in a flood zone How FEMA's adjustments of flood zones impact new construction projects Some value-add solutions for residential and commercial properties in flood zones Density's impact on flood zone solutions The strategies cash investors implement to hedge value and the ways it can bite them during a refinance Getting properties removed from flood zones and how a building's composition affects flood insurance rates Why most people don't realize how many flood zones there are in a town The real estate relationships D.J. formed through his job and how those have helped him build an investment portfolio The reason he believes there are no bad investment markets based on his professional experience Mindset's role in making a sound investment The strategies D.J. uses to help reduce or eliminate flood insurance costs for commercial real estate His advice for brand new investors looking at a property in a flood zone for the first time Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Check it out below: Whitney Ward (00:00:00) - I mean, a lot of our, our business plan is derived from our belief that, you know, in the next over the next three years, we'll see rates decreasing. They might not get down to where they were in 2020. Right. But we see an opportunity where some people might be fearing we're seeing lower, lower values. More deals come into the market as an opportunity for us to acquire these deals.   Sam Wilson (00:00:24) - Welcome to the how to Scale Commercial Real Estate show. Whether you are an active or passive investor, we'll teach you how to scale your real estate investing business into something big. Whitney is the principal and fund manager at CRA endeavors, where she leads the strategic growth initiatives of the firm. Whitney, welcome to the show.   Whitney Ward (00:00:46) - Hey, Sam. Thanks. Thanks for having me.   Sam Wilson (00:00:48) - Absolutely, Whitney. The pleasure is mine. There are three questions I ask every guest who comes on the show in 90s or less. Can you tell me where did you start? Where are you now? And how did you get there?   Whitney Ward (00:00:57) - Sure.   Whitney Ward (00:00:58) - I started in corporate America. I've entered the real estate business in 2016 through, you know, starting in the brokerage business focused in multifamily assets at this, which since 2016, I've done everything from multifamily brokerage transactions to some passive equity investments into deals. I'm currently now, like you said earlier, the principal and fund manager for my own firm that I launched in 2019, which since then we've done over 100 million in acquisitions and sales transactions and multifamily investments. And we are now dipping into the fund management space.   Sam Wilson (00:01:38) - That is awesome. I love the the journey there. It's pretty fast, really. I would think, you know, going 2016 brokerage. I mean by 2019, did you feel like you had really understood everything you need to understand and just decided to pivot or why why did you go? Maybe that's even a better question. Why did you go from brokerage into then becoming your own principal and run your own deals? What what happened then that made you say, this is a good time to do that? Yeah.   Whitney Ward (00:02:03) - I mean, good question. So we've kept brokerage. We're still in brokerage. So CRE endeavors is a licensed brokerage firm in Georgia and in Maryland. So we that's something we kept. Um, I would say the real reason I pivoted, I was at a national brokerage firm in 2016 through 2019, and my real reason for pivoting was just the autonomy to do more deals in the way that I wanted to do it. You know, most brokerage firms want you to focus just on selling, you know, doing transactions. And, you know, we look, we understand that investing is very important in building your portfolio. And so the, you know, brokerage business allows us to service our active clients. But then we also are able to invest in deals. And we have that autonomy that not every brokerage firm allows you to do.   Sam Wilson (00:02:47) - How do you decide when a deal comes across your desk that maybe is off market, what what you're going to list, and then what? You're going to actually take a stab at yourself without making your brokerage clients upset, seeing you kind of cherry pick off the top.   Whitney Ward (00:03:04) - Sure. I mean, multifamily is unique, right? Because all the other asset classes you really have, you represent a lot of buyers and you represent a lot of sellers and multifamily. It's really focused on having the relationship with the owner of the property. So we don't we never really have a host of buyers that are like, hey, we need deals, right? Because there's so many outlets, you can sign up for all the big firms and get a bunch of deal flow, right? So not to say we don't have deal flow for those buyers, but we don't we don't necessarily say, hey, we're going to be your source for finding those deals for you necessarily. So that that in itself kind of takes away some of that conflict. But with with the fund itself, it has a very strict criteria. We are we co-invest with experienced managers and developers, so they tend to already have that deal, and we co-invest with them when there's a deal that we're, you know, right now, my commercial real estate advisor, she's brought, she's sourcing some deals off market.   Whitney Ward (00:04:02) - And those deals would be directly what we would market to, to, to the public. So unless there came a situation where we market a deal and nobody was interested in it, which highly unlikely that would happen, that we would then buy it. But then, you know, then we could consider buying it. But the, the, the types of deals that we get as a brokerage company are typically smaller deals. I mean, we're we're a niche shop. So our deals are anywhere from ten to on average 75 units. So we service a specific clientele. So we're not really competing. You know.   Sam Wilson (00:04:36) - Right now that's an interesting segment to focus on. The 10 to 75 units. How did you decide to focus on those size of deals inside of the brokerage firm?   Whitney Ward (00:04:48) - Well, I mean when you think about like every market's different, right? So I said we're licensed in Maryland and we're licensed in Georgia. A lot of our deals in Maryland, we do in Baltimore. And that markets is a little bit smaller.   Whitney Ward (00:05:01) - And so as a smaller firm, market share is relatively easier to gain than in a market like Atlanta, where we're headquartered, where the large the top three firms, they're getting 80% of all the market share, especially over 100 units. So if we're going to, you know, eat and then be able to live and take care of ourselves, we had to figure out what's a niche that, you know, those large firms are taking, that there's opportunities that a lot of times residential agents will will we'll get some of those leads for, but not really understand what commercial real estate is and how to service those clients. And so we're able to kind of make us a niche specialty in that space.   Sam Wilson (00:05:41) - Got it. Oh, that's really, really cool. Well let's talk about the transition in 2019 when you guys said, okay hey we're going to go out and start doing our own deals. It's been an interesting run 2019 to today in multifamily. Tell us, give us some color on your guys's journey and kind of how your how you've changed over the last, I guess four years.   Whitney Ward (00:06:03) - Well, I mean, I tell people I was like, I've actually been through like three market cycles, you could say, before Covid and then whatever we're in right now. So it's it's been a heck of a ride. I'm not going to lie. It's been very difficult. But it's also exciting because we're we're all where we are right now. We're seeing a lot more opportunities, like when I first launched the firm in 2019 and we were prospecting business, we were hearing a lot of no's because people were comfortable, right? They were used to their brokers. There's nothing, there's no need to change. Why go to CRE endeavors now? You know, people have either debt maturities coming up or they need to find liquidity in some in some way. And they're they're more open to entertaining what we have to offer. And quite frankly, being a niche firm and having our own source of lenders and equity providers outside of the fund, it has allowed us to be able to position ourselves to serve service clients pretty much the same way that a larger firm would just on a on a smaller scale and more boutique focused.   Sam Wilson (00:07:08) - What about the stuff that you guys are buying in house? You say that now is a great time. Of course, you mentioned a few reasons why now might be a good time to be investing in multifamily, but what what is that journey been like for what you personally are buying and acquiring?   Whitney Ward (00:07:22) - Well, right now, like I mentioned, we're I'm raising capital right now. I'm raising capital because we are seeing valuations down 26% versus last year. We're seeing transactions have slowed down, but they're starting to pick up. And they're expected to pick up here in Q4, especially in Q1. But we're raising capital. And we're telling our investors, listen, you invest alongside us. We're going to we're going to we're going to have a pipeline of business that comes in not only through our leads, through our managers and developers, but we're already boots to the ground. We already know what's kind of going on. We already have a pipeline of business of of some owners that are going to need liquidity over the next 6 to 12 months.   Whitney Ward (00:08:00) - And so we're just having those conversations now. But for the as far as the fund goes, and on that investment side, I mean, we are looking generally for, you know, 75 units to 150 units on size, so we can have a third party property management company in place. And, you know, your typical value add opportunities that you've heard a lot of groups say, we just think there's going to be more value add opportunities to look at.   Sam Wilson (00:08:25) - Yeah, absolutely. No. And I want to touch on I guess a couple of things. Let's talk about the you mentioned the term need liquidity groups that need liquidity. What are some situations that people are finding themselves in that need liquidity, that don't necessarily mean that they have a bad investment?   Whitney Ward (00:08:42) - Sure, I mean mean. So liquidity in its sense, like if you if you invest in real estate, the only way to generate liquidity is to sell or refinance the property. So there's there's like I mentioned earlier, you have some owners that have purchased properties with short term debt in 2021, 2022, and they have debt maturities coming up.   Whitney Ward (00:09:04) - And they're going to need to sell. Whether the market, whether the interest rates are high the way they are today or not, they are going to be forced to sell or refinance, and not everybody's going to be able to refinance if they if they haven't been able to generate enough income to service that refinance, then you have people that might be fund managers that have their funds expiring, and they have to close out that fund. And so they're going to be looking to exit out of the deals that they have to end their funds. You've got developers, you know, people who have constructed have construction loans out. They're going to need to refinance out of those and put stabilized debt. So you have a variety of different scenarios right now that are foresee that show people needing liquidity.   Sam Wilson (00:09:46) - So what's the I guess, what's the opportunity for you in that?   Whitney Ward (00:09:50) - Well, we want to be there to say, hey, we want to buy it. Right? So so I mean, with rates as high as they are and valuations down, we're we're projecting or we're seeing first of all values are down the lowest they've been since probably I would say 2016 at least probably earlier than that.   Whitney Ward (00:10:08) - Right. And so for us we just see that as an opportunity. You know maybe some groups are like, hey, the interest rates are high. I'm scared. But we see a potential opportunity for arbitrage. I mean, even the institutional investors are looking at possibly acquiring deals right now at higher rates, right. And maybe even doing a short term type of floating debt, putting a rate cap on it, and being able to refinance because we believe rates will be down in 2025, 2026. And that'll be a space where you can, you know, refinance or, you know, exit a deal however you want to, whatever your strategy is. So I mean, a lot of our, our business plan is derived from our belief that, you know, in the next over the next three years, we'll see rates decreasing. They might not get down to where they were in 2020. Right. But we see an opportunity where some people might be fearing we're seeing lower, lower values. More deals come into the market as an opportunity for us to acquire these deals.   Sam Wilson (00:11:07) - So would you classify these deals you're looking at as distressed and. Yes, I guess the answer for those of you were listening. Whitney shaking her head. Yes, they are they they are indeed distressed. And I guess what's happening to those sellers? I mean, they're taking a haircut on what they.   Whitney Ward (00:11:25) - They got, they have to do. I mean, you have to you're going to have lower returns than what you expected. And that's the unfortunate thing about, you know, market cycles in some ways. I mean, you know, many people believed that we were in a low interest rate market forever. And, you know, it's just it's just kind of the way the, the cookie crumbles. And and that's why we want, we're, we're saying to our investors, listen, we've been in this market and we're seeing trends that we haven't seen in a long time. And I think, you know, you know, in scary times presents opportunities. And yes, to your point, I would say it's it's stressed and distressed owners because anytime you're forced to do something that you don't have a decision to make, I consider that to be somewhat stressed.   Sam Wilson (00:12:08) - Right. For sure. You mentioned that valuations are down 26%. I guess that's probably a maybe a nationwide percentage there that we're using. Would you say that even valuations are down 26% even on performing deals? Or how are performing deals working out right now? I mean, let's, let's, let's use your scenario and say, hey, they have a short term debt. You know, they've got debt maturation coming up and they need to either sell or refi. Are we seeing deals that are doing really well? I'm thinking of one I've got and we're not looking to sell. We don't than the debt's not maturing on it. But it's doing really well. It's like 99% occupied were way above pro forma. But if we had to sell that, is that also something that people are selling assets like that at a discount because they have to.   Whitney Ward (00:12:54) - You're going to have to I mean, the cost of debt is too high. I mean, I mean, the bid is spread between what buyers are, are able to pay and make it make sense for their investment and what sellers want to sell at, you know, it's it's shrinking, but it's still there.   Whitney Ward (00:13:08) - It still exists. So I mean, with with right now with you come if you get in the market and you really you know, place agency debt on a multifamily property, you're looking at probably 6.5% interest rate on a good on a good on a good deal. I mean, I mean, if someone's trying to sell it a five cap, you're immediately at negative leverage. I mean, there's like a buyer can't make that work, you know what I mean? And so it's now the decision on you guys, if you guys put your property on the market, which I'd assume if your property is performing, why would you sell? Why wouldn't you just hold it? You know what I mean? Like, there's no reason for you.   Sam Wilson (00:13:40) - Well, unless, you know, and I was using our property as an example, but unless we had, you know, debt maturities coming up that we just couldn't avoid, and it's like, okay, well, we're gonna have to refinance this or sell it.   Whitney Ward (00:13:52) - Or are you knocked it out of the or you knocked it out of the park. And even if you sold at a six and a half cap or seven cap, you still killed the returns that you were projecting, right? Yeah. Right. Right.   Sam Wilson (00:14:02) - That's interesting. So you mentioned something there I hadn't really thought about and didn't plan on going down this, this rabbit trail, but I've seen some deal sponsors advertise buying it negative I guess negative leverage is that the term is there. Yeah. Where they're where they're buying it at a six and a half cap. But they're going in cap rates of five cap. What do you think about that strategy.   Whitney Ward (00:14:24) - I mean I mean you know, I was just up in New York last week. I global had a global leaders and commercial real estate conference. And it was just a bunch of institutional investors. And personally, I think anytime you can get in front of institutional investors and just compare notes and listen to them, they're the smartest in the game. So and just hearing their feedback, I mean, it depends on the strategy and how long that negative leverage lasts.   Whitney Ward (00:14:50) - Most most people are most institutional investors would say no. Right. But it also it's going to depend on your business plan. If you could if you go in at a five but you think you can exit at, you know, an eight, I don't know. It really just depends on your arbitrage. Like, um, you know, for us, I'm not we're not looking at anything like that. We're being patient because we think there's going to be situations where a buyer or a seller is not going to have the option to continue to push their price. Right. It's going to come down to they're going to have to sell. So, you know, whoever is going to be positioned well capitalized experience as closed deals. And that's one of the reasons our fund is is a 506 C fund. So it's accredited investors only. But that's one of the reasons why we're partnering with managers and builders that have done deals and have taken them full cycle. Because, you know, I think with that, having the equity, having relationships with lenders, obviously, you know, those experienced sponsors would have those.   Whitney Ward (00:15:50) - I think it'll be easier to transact and get those sellers to agree to prices that they may have not normally agreed to.   Sam Wilson (00:15:56) - Right, right. Tell me about the fund and raising capital in well, in today's market and today's economy, what's that like. And yeah, give us some insight on that.   Whitney Ward (00:16:07) - Yeah I mean it's tough I mean everyone's afraid right. And so one of the things that I have made a focus is educating. People on what the market is doing and where and why. Why we're seeing right now as a time to start raising capital. I mean, I'm not the only group raising money. There's tons of groups. I see funds popping up here left and right, you know, um, so it's a matter and what we we're trying to separate is say, hey, we're already building a pipeline. We already have. We're already boots on the ground. We already know what's happening. We're in the business every day through our brokerage company. We're interacting with investors all the time. And so raising capital has been difficult.   Whitney Ward (00:16:45) - But, you know, if you follow any of the trends and seeing some of the larger institutions like Blackstone or whatever, they're starting to get less redemption requests. They're starting to be able to raise a little bit more capital. We're being we've had some success raising capital on the on the family and friends side. And now that we're 560, we're we're entertaining institutional partners as well. And so I mean, it's it's a consistency. Um, you know, people if you ask me what I really do, I feel like I'm, I'm in marketing and sales because that's what I'm really doing now, you know, and, and trying to get people to understand the opportunity and see not only, like what the market is showing, why this is an opportunity, but with sort of like, why us and what we're going to do different than other groups.   Sam Wilson (00:17:29) - No, I think and that's that. That's a like you said, it's a marketing position as much as anything because you need to come up with a compelling story as to why.   Sam Wilson (00:17:37) - Why now is a great time. And I'm hearing that. I mean, we're hearing that from several people in the industry now where they're saying, hey, you know, we're seeing opportunity. We are positioning ourselves, you know, to take advantage of this opportunity. I just it's yeah, it's I think what you're doing is great. It it is really interesting, though, how you have to craft that message to your investors and share that. So so tell me about that. When you when you're out raising capital in a fund, which I think is uniquely challenging in and of itself, but then also that fund is deploying capital into several other deals and sponsors, maybe that your investors don't know or have a direct relationship with. What is that process like, and how do you instill confidence then in your investors?   Whitney Ward (00:18:18) - Yeah. So a strict criteria for what that manager and developer would have to have from a background experience. So all of the groups that I would consider, I've known them since getting into real estate.   Whitney Ward (00:18:30) - So I've seen them grow, I've seen them manage, I've seen them manage this market cycle. I've seen them execute right. And so what I try to help others understand is, you know, we're doing our due diligence on these sponsors and these managers by by requiring them to have at least done that specific deal full cycle. Right? Whatever that deal is, we're considering, you know, having an experienced third party, third party property management company in place, if not in-house, they've had to have done agency financing deals, they've had to have experience in any type of bridge or construction loans for us to consider it. So it's a background like we're we're doing a thorough background check on any of the sponsors. And again, like I said, these are these are people that I've had relationships. I share the same investment thesis as them. I mean, it would be almost as if I'm a partner with them on a lot of their investment philosophies. So we're not going to go really out of the box on any of this and, you know, do a development deal in Milwaukee when we don't know anything about it.   Whitney Ward (00:19:36) - I mean, that's another thing. Our geographical focus is very specific as well. Being the southeast, our asset type, all those things kind of help our investors feel a little bit more comfortable.   Sam Wilson (00:19:47) - That is fantastic. Thank you again for taking the time to come on the show today, and really tell us what it is that you guys are working on, where you see opportunity love here, and people get excited about what it is that they see, the opportunities they see in the marketplace and how they are, again, taking advantage of that. If our listeners want to get in touch with you or learn more about your fund, what is the best way to do that?   Whitney Ward (00:20:08) - The best way would be to visit our website. It's CRE Dash endeavors. You know, we did a really good job of just making things very simple. Anyone can understand it and you can. My contact information is on there as well.   Sam Wilson (00:20:24) - Awesome. Fantastic. Whitney, thank you again for taking the time to come on the show today.   Sam Wilson (00:20:27) - I certainly appreciate it.   Whitney Ward (00:20:28) - Thanks for having me, Sam.   Sam Wilson (00:20:29) - Hey, thanks for listening to the How to Scale Commercial Real Estate podcast.
