Each week BusinessDesk and the NZ Herald's Cooking the Books podcast tackles a different money problem. Today, it's whether you can still get ahead financially as a renter. Hosted by Frances Cook. It's no secret New Zealanders love property, whether it's buying it for their own home, or as an investment.  But is it the ticket to wealth?  You'll often hear that renting is dead money, and that you shouldn't waste your time paying off someone else's mortgage. That's not necessarily true - and there's been some number crunching to prove it.  For the latest podcast, I talked to actuary Emma Vitz. If you have a question about this podcast, or a question you'd like answered in the next one, come and talk to me about it. I'm on Facebook here, Instagram here and Twitter here.

Property mangers have been asking potential renters for more information that they're legally allowed to request.  Consumer NZ has conducted a survey confirming that 6 percent of rental agents ask for bank statements, and 10 percent ask for cover letters and CV's in the application process. With us here now is the General Manager of the Auckland Property Investors Association, Sarina Gibbon. According to her, the percentage of people in the rental industry making these requests are in violation of privacy regulations. LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Rob sits down with Neil Goodrich to finish off their 4-part series about the state of social housing in the UK. They round things up by discussing the many challenges the sector is facing, including some of the changes they are making to navigate what many in the industry are calling the “perfect storm.”Rob uses his EPC expertise to talk through the practicalities of upgrading social housing to make it more environmentally friendly.KEY TAKEAWAYS The sector is in a very tricky situation. Both internal and external factors are having an extremely negative impact. The cost-of-living crisis is having a significant impact on the social housing sector. Even if social housing organisations raise rents to reflect higher costs, the situation their tenants are in means that most of them will end up getting into deeper rent arrears. Changes in legislation will require most organisations to make significant changes to their housing stock, which means a lot of capital expenditure. The way EPC ratings are being handled is a classic case of “good idea, bad idea when it is in action.” Why is explained in the podcast. There is probably going to be a drop in the number of units built by housing associations. BEST MOMENTS‘As a sector, we have come off of a multi-year cut in the rents that we can charge.'‘That requires massively upgrading a large amount of our stock by better insulating, putting in more efficient windows and doors…..'‘We are coming up to the last decade of gas boilers being installed by default into properties, yet you still have this bizarre incentive to retain them.'ABOUT THE HOST Rob Smallbone, the host of The Property Nomads Podcast, is on a global mission to guide your success.

In the 3rd episode of the TPNP UK Housing Association series, Rob and Neil Goodrich sit down to discuss whether they are getting too big and unwieldy. They look at examples of both types of associations to tease out the answer to the question: are housing associations, in the UK, getting too big? As well as using their experience to provide their take on what the ideal size for this type of organisation is.KEY TAKEAWAYS Being a small organisation does not automatically mean you will be a good housing association. Big and large associations both have distinct advantages and disadvantages. Big associations not fulfilling their obligations have a significant negative impact on society, because they are affecting so many families (tenants). The type of housing stock an association owns has a significant impact on how many units it can physically run efficiently. If an aspect of the association is not working well, e.g., the repair service is inefficient. You can fix the issue fast with 50 units. When you have 125,000 units, sorting things out is like climbing a mountain. When housing associations merge, they tend to carry on using their separate systems, which is part of the reason things go wrong. Neil demonstrates why that is, in the podcast. The UK needs both big and large organisations. For example, a small association that tackles housing for a sector of society with special needs makes sense. BEST MOMENTS‘There is an argument that when you get to around 50/60,000 units, you get too big to manage effectively… but there are advantages and disadvantages.'‘Somewhere around 50 to 60,000 units does feel like the right balance.'‘Being big is not necessarily a problem, it's about being effective.'EPISODE RESOURCES Neil Goodrich Twitter: @NGoodrichHsg Inside Housing - https://www.insidehousing.co.uk/ ABOUT THE HOST Rob Smallbone, the host of The Property Nomads Podcast, is on a global mission to guide your success.

An average two-bedroom rental in Virginia Beach is currently between $1300 and $3000 a month. Lori Gibson thinks that’s insane. Why give all that money to someone else, when an affordable home purchase has a monthly payment of around $1600? In this episode, I’m speaking with Lori, a Senior Mortgage Banker at Atlantic Bay. With over 35 years in the industry and 15 as a mortgage banker, Lori has helped thousands of clients purchase and refinance their homes. Lori and I talk about the “recession” fears propagated and inflamed by the media. It’s no wonder people are scared and not buying, but have you considered buying now, and refinancing later? Lending Forward is a weekly podcast hosted by Taylor Ellard and powered by Atlantic Bay Mortgage Group. We bring you raw stories from real people in the mortgage industry. We're covering what's next in lending, forward-thinking, and reflecting on lessons learned from Mortgage Bankers, Realtors, Financial Advisors, Coaches, and more! How are you lending it forward?

Atlantic Bay has been recognized as a Top 100 Mortgage Company in America, Best Mortgage Company, Most Enjoyable Place to Work, and an Inc. 500 Fastest Growing Company. Discussion Points: Lori Gibson’s family has been in the industry for years A history lesson: rates were near 13% in the 80s and no one cared The ebbs and flows of the market continue, but this is definitely a slow time The industry has been spoiled by the last few years of interest rates Advice to potential buyers - don’t be frightened by the media Buy a cheap house and renovate Buy a cheap house and sell/repurchase your dream later Staying positive in a hostile/negative media environment Resources/Links: Lori Gibson at Atlantic Bay Lori Gibson LinkedIn Taylor Ellard LinkedIn Atlantic Bay Mortgage Group

We pick up the story during Mills and her husband Joe's transition from Tampa to Miami and the challenges that arose while renting their Tampa townhome. Mills explains how times of financial stagnation can be frustrating to those with specific financial goals but can prove to be valuable long-term. In addition to telling the story of her move, Mills also briefly addresses the challenges both financially and emotionally that COVID had on her and Joe and how the reality of the pandemic placed some of her financial goals on hold while they, like the rest of us, weathered the storm.  Topics Include: How Home Ownership affects Mobility  The Pros and Cons of Renting a Home The Challenges of Real Estate During COVID Dealing with Times of Financial Stagnation  Follow Mills Knows Bills: Website: https://www.millsknowsbills.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/millsknowsbills Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/millsknowsbills TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@millsknowsbills LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ameliabender Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/millsknowsbills Twitter: https://twitter.com/bendermills Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/millsknowsbills

Description: In this episode, I will be talking about renting a property in Mexico. I will discuss some of the pitfalls and why you probably should rent for a significant amount of time before you decide to buy. I am not a lawyer but I suggest you get acquainted with one if you plan to apply for residency and to review any legal documents you will be signing including a lease. A lot of people assume that engaging with a lawyer will be expensive, but it is not, and decide to do this themselves. They often turn to Facebook groups looking for advice. This is an area where learning about other people's experiences is valuable but getting legal advice is not. The legal advice you get is worth as much as you are paying for it. Nothing. I learned a lot from my lawyer when he reviewed my first lease. You have to remember that what you know about property laws and your rights in the US has nothing to do with how it is done outside of the US. This episode is sponsored by Career Pivot.

One of the most popular ways to invest in real estate is by buying a home, renting it out and then selling it when the market is right. However, there are other ways to invest in real estate that do not require you to buy a home.  Fernando Corona is an out-of-state real estate investor who made his way into the real estate market in search of time freedom. He understands that in order to be a great entrepreneur, he first must be the man that his family needs him to be as both a husband and a father. His goal has always been to enjoy each and every day doing what he's passionate about, even if it means taking multiple steps back to start over. In the short 3 years of entrepreneurship, he and his wife have been able to achieve the desired lifestyle of traveling while working and taking days off to go to the beach with their 17-month-old daughter, all while allowing cash-flowing investments to pay for their lifestyle. They currently invest in a rent-by-the-room model where they turn a 4bed/2bath into an 8bed/2bath to increase rents that would normally be about $2000/month up to nearly $6000/month while simultaneously helping solve the problem of affordable housing. He believes that knowledge is nothing without application, and it's our feedback from those experiences that help create the wisdom we need to succeed.

On today's podcast I had Jorge Contreras on, and he is the man when it comes to Airbnb! It's really funny because I don't think I've had much conversation on the Airbnb arbitrage model on the show. Obviously, I'm a big proponent of buying real estate and building wealth, but I do believe that Airbnb arbitrage is a great side hustle and way to make income to get started in your real estate journey. In this podcast, we talked all about that, some things you need to look out for, how you can deal with government regulations, and how you can get your first Airbnb furnished! We talked about what the long-term vision is with Airbnb, and it's just a great podcast overall. I give a big shout out to Jorge in the beginning because my coaching program, Future Flipper, is what it is today because of some advice he gave me years ago.

Home prices in the U.S. have risen around 20% year-over-year, making homeownership unaffordable for millions of Americans. A historic housing shortage is causing rental rates to spike, too, and experts say it's unlikely prices will drop significantly any time soon. Marcia Fudge, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, joins Geoff Bennett to discuss. PBS NewsHour is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders

Check it out below:   [00:00:00] Mark Weinstein: So I think it's very risky for people that aren't really good at it. I have some friends that are really, really good builders and they still have a spread, but sometimes I kind of feel like they have to keep the machine going. And so sometimes they lose sight of maybe it's a good time to take a pause. I think it becomes a machine you're feeding. You have so many people and you have so many mouths to feed and there's a spread between what it costs to build and what the sell cost is. [00:00:38] Sam Wilson: Mark Weinstein is a self-made owner and developer who scaled from five units to a 1.5 billion portfolio of multifamily and student housing. Mark. Welcome to the show. Thank you. Thank you. Hey man, the pleasure's mine, mark. There are three questions I ask every guest who comes from the show: in 90 seconds or less, can you tell me where did you start? Where are you now and how did you get there?  [00:00:58] Mark Weinstein: Well, when I was in law school, I discovered real estate and I convinced a bunch of students at the law school that we should buy a building and they gave me their money, student loan money, whatever money they had. And we bought a five-unit building back then and we grew it to a large portfolio in both multifamily and student housing. And I enjoy great family life and really, really happy for the success we've had in real estate.  [00:01:24] Sam Wilson: Man, that's kind of a wild story all in itself. I mean, you saw a five-unit building and you just had a wild hair and said, Hey, let's go buy that. I mean, was there more to the, to the bug than that, that caught you that day or?  [00:01:36] Mark Weinstein: Well, I think that when I realized, you know, wanted to be a lawyer and if that was a really noble thing to do, as something I wanted to do as a. But I also wanted to do a lot of philanthropy and I kind of realized that being a lawyer probably wouldn't be able to scale to be able to do the type of things I wanted to do. And so I saw real estate as an opportunity to create wealth and be able to give back on a higher level, more impact by in real estate.  [00:02:00] Sam Wilson: Gotcha. So what was your next move? You buy this five unit building. You beg, borrow, steal and rob all your friends for whatever capital they had to take it down. How did you grow the company? What were the next logical steps? You said, man, I've got to do X, Y, and Z next if I'm going to take this to the next level.  [00:02:16] Mark Weinstein: So I passed the bar. I'm practicing law. I said, well, I got to do a couple of deals. And then finally it came to an inflection point where I needed to make a choice. Am I going to just kind of do law part-time and do real estate part-time or am I going to really go for it? And so I gave up the law completely and went into a large development in old town, Pasadena, very complicated and historic buildings and mixed-use and all this stuff. And so it started with that, which was a very big learning experience. And then eventually got back into multifamily and student housing and some other items that I bought along the way to grow where we are today.  [00:02:53] Sam Wilson: Did you do this all on your own? Did you have mentors? Were there partners? Those are big bites to take out of the gate. [00:03:00] Mark Weinstein: Well, in Pasadena, I raised the money and I had a partner who didn't work out so well, so I had to take it over. So I learned construction at an early age on these historic buildings, which was very complicated. And I never really had partners. I had investors in some of this stuff, but my thing was, I tried to take everything I could take and invest myself in every deal as much as I possibly could and do as much as I could by myself and share with investors on deals that I thought were safer and grow the company that way. [00:03:30] Sam Wilson: Wow. That's really cool. What gave you the confidence and what would you tell to somebody who was going out maybe on their own for the first time to raise capital? What gave you the confidence to go to investors and ask for that money?  [00:03:42] Mark Weinstein: Well, I'd been successful the few deals that I'd done. And I believed in real estate and I believe that I could find deals that were unusual, that had hidden value. And I thought, you know, there's good write-offs and good cash flow. So I convinced people that if you marry those two things you can do well.  [00:04:00] Sam Wilson: Yeah, no. And that's absolutely true. Tell me, you said you believed in real estate, where are we now and how are you positioning yourself maybe differently than you would have at the beginning of your career? [00:04:11] Mark Weinstein: I now have almost nine-year-old twins and a beautiful wife. And I don't go into big-ass development deals like I used to, and I do have silver hair that I got and retained from some of those development deals that I did earlier in my career. And so now I've, you know, we got a really diversified portfolio of student housing and multifamily, mostly with fix rate loans, with long term horizons, good cash flow, good write-offs, you know, a well-balanced portfolio in great markets, you know, that I could own long term if I wanted to, or I could sell intermittently when the opportunity arises.  [00:04:49] Sam Wilson: Do you feel like your company is where you want it to be? Are there still yet boxes you want to tick off or is it something at this point where it's just kind of maintain the status quo and write it out? [00:05:01] Mark Weinstein: Well, we have a couple of different platforms. One of our platforms is the Co-GP platform. We're taking people that maybe are already successful in their career, but they need to grow or want to grow. We could use our capital, our relationships. We're doing self-storage, we're doing student housing, we're doing multifamily with other operators. So that helps us leverage, you know, our kind of secret sauce to get great returns for ourselves and our investors by doing that. And then our, you know, our existing, you know, acquisitions, you know, are still going on, but right now it's an inflection point in the economy. So we're being a lot more careful, whether it's finding a new operator to partner with buying our own deals, type of financing that we're doing, you know, refinancing when we can get to from variable to fix rate. So those are a lot of different things that are going on and we're kind of opportunistic. We're always thinking they're no matter how the economy is, there's always some type of opportunity.  [00:05:56] Sam Wilson: Yeah, no, absolutely. I love that. I love the idea of Co-GP. It's funny, 'cause a lot of people start off that way. You know, raising capital a Co-GP as you well know their way in the deal. Like, Hey, I can bring, you know, a million bucks to a deal and then they come in as can get a, you know, very, very minority slice in the deal. But you guys sound like you go the other way where it's like, Hey, you're probably going to be the, and correct me if I'm wrong here, but you'll be the larger portion of the equity, if not all of it. And that's how you guys are coming in really diversifying, is that right? [00:06:23] Mark Weinstein: Right. Partially we'll put up or raise the equity on the LP side, but on the GP side, we're helping them maybe get the loan. We're helping, you know, put up the GP side of the capital and either we put up or arrange the LP side of the capital generally. So it's a, it really allows someone to focus on finding their deals, operating their properties, and they can grow their business, whether it's self-storage, whether it's student housing, whether it's multifamily.  [00:06:48] Sam Wilson: Tell me about the student housing market. What are you predicting on that front? What does that look like? We've had several guests come in the show and I'm just curious where you see where we are in the cycle of student housing and what are the prospects there.  [00:07:01] Mark Weinstein: Well, I think, you know, the student housing that we do is usually at major schools, walking distance to campus. That's one of the formulas, the best schools thrive. They're recession resilient. They've done really well during the pandemic and the, you know, potential recession that we may be upon. And so we like student housing, you know, it's very operationally intensive and you know, you have your more bumps, ups, and downs with student housing, but if you're in the best markets, great locations, you do well. [00:07:29] Sam Wilson: Yeah. How has that changed? We were talking about this at dinner last night with some buddies, and we were just talking about, you know, student housing, where they lived when they were in college and how that has changed dramatically. Like, one of the guys was just fussing, he's like, Man, my son thinks he's got to have his own private bathroom and X, Y, Z and this, and he goes, one of my other buddies sitting across me, he goes, man, he didn't have doors to my house. No joke. He said, we just locked the hallway doors and we didn't have front and back door. I'm like, that's pretty hysterical. It's a lot of fun, but I know that market has changed. What's it look like now versus what it was 30 years ago?  [00:08:01] Mark Weinstein: Well, interesting. When I went to school, I lived in the dorms in my sophomore year and it was like a four-man suite, four-person suite. And so it had a couple of bathrooms in private rooms and you know, it's not so much different from the purpose-built stuff we have today. A lot of the stuff that we've done though has been regular apartments, scattered sites where I live in UC, Santa Barbara, the same apartment building's still there. And, you know, you, convert it to a bed basis, possibly where you're renting by the bed as opposed to a one bedroom or two bedrooms so it's changed in the sense that it's more by the bed. And, you know, there's purpose-built student housing, which, you know, four bedrooms, three bedrooms, two bedrooms, and there's apartment buildings that, you know, you reconfigure or you have students live in. And the key is being close to campus.  [00:08:46] Sam Wilson: Got it. Got it. That's really, really cool. Love how you guys have made, you know, this journey thus far. I mean, gosh, you're in multifamily, you're in student housing, you guys are doing large Co-GP projects. Tell me, I guess, what are, if you were to rewind the tape and go back through your investing career, what is one thing that you feel like you would either do differently or maybe the other way to think about it is something that you could say, Hey, I can help somebody avoid this pitfall. [00:09:09] Mark Weinstein: Well, I do try to help people avoid pitfalls. I was doing some massive, large-scale development while I was doing some other massive development at the same time. I thought that I could do no wrong. Like, you know, the good news, I had my own money in it. So I wasn't risking other people, but I did some of the largest projects in LA. You know, I was this kid that had nothing, came from nothing, and kind of rolled the dice. I wasn't married. And, you know, I didn't really think at the time I was rolling the dice cause everything was going well. But I started thinking, Hey, in 2007, you know, things are changing. I want to get out of this and sometimes forces beyond your control, economy, politics, don't allow you, even if you're smart enough to want to get out at a big profit the right time, can't always do it. And so I think that having so many developments going on at once and, kind of being an entrepreneur, I think that, you know, maybe I would've focused on more conservative, existing, you know, investments and could have done way better at a lot more time. And the opportunity cost that you lose when you get distracted by a development deal that gets mothballed like mine did for nine years. It's a lot of money and you lose opportunity. It's not the money you lose on the deal. It's the opportunity cost that you lose by being distracted by deals you probably don't need to be in. [00:10:30] Sam Wilson: Yeah, man, a nine-year mothball. Did you retain the project through...  [00:10:36] Mark Weinstein: Sold it, sold it at the, probably, the loan amount. I lost all my equity. Thank goodness, it was all my money. Great write-off, you know, was able to use the write-off for many, many years. And one time a bank was looking at my tax return and said, you know, there's no way that, you know, you, what of these losses? And, you know, these are depreciations. So no, these are checks that I actually wrote that, you know, to keep on, the project going 'Cause I had personal guarantees, which is also something you got to be very careful with and, you know, banks change, the bank went under. And so all of a sudden, a personal guarantee with somebody, you know, so a new bank, you never know who your banker is going to be and so they might not be as kind with giving you extensions, even if you're paying, you know. So it's just, you learn a lot, you know, that you got to be careful.  [00:11:22] Sam Wilson: Do you see similar risk in development today? Everybody I talked to in the development world says that now is different. How do you feel about that? [00:11:32] Mark Weinstein: Well, I think that it's a slippery slope because look at how much prices have gone up. Look at the cost of financing, look at pandemics, you know, all the things that happen. So I think it's very risky for people that aren't really good at it. I have some friends that are really, really good builders and they still have a spread, but sometimes I kind of feel like they have to keep the machine going. And so sometimes they lose sight of maybe it's a good time to take a pause. I think it becomes a machine you're feeding. You have so many people and you have so many mouths to feed and there's a spread between what it costs to build and what the sale costs is. If cap rates could go up and cost keep on going up, the interest rates are going up, all of a sudden you don't have that spread. There might be a need for multifamily, but, you know, it might cost you too much to build it.  [00:12:21] Sam Wilson: Well, that's it. And that's been the argument I've heard from a lot of people, especially in the, you know, Texas markets and places like that. They're saying why buy existing value add multifamily when we can go out and build it for less per door than what people are bidding over for used inventory. [00:12:38] Mark Weinstein: Yeah that makes sense, but I just don't think it's so easy to build it. I think that one thing's going to happen is when the prices have to go down. It's interesting enough is that we're buying a lot of newer apartment buildings below replacement costs, developers have various things that need to get out. They had too much going on and so they're going to sell. They leased it up quickly. The rents aren't what the market are. And so you buy these things under the cost of, of construction. You take no construction risk. And then over time, you can raise rents and you make a nice return. it's a solid market. So that's a value add play without doing value add.  [00:13:13] Sam Wilson: Right, right. It's buying new product without the value add. What's the developer's angle on that? 'Cause I'm not a developer, so I don't understand how they exit a property like that that maybe is only two or three years old and still walk out with their shirts on.  [00:13:25] Mark Weinstein: Well, sometimes it's very close to shirts on shirts off, 'cause you know, often we'll do it right year one because they want to get out. 'Cause they're also, they make a profit. So they bought the land a while ago. Their costs were in and so they can still make money. They don't make as much because they need to move their money around. And so you're able to get in at a fair price and if you buy it right and you can marry it with fixed-rate financing. You're in a strong market and you manage well, you'll, you know, you're not going to make the kind of value add returns that we used to make with value add, but you're also not going to take the risk. You're going to mix fixed-rate financing with a steady, great asset with gradual rent growth. You know, don't get greedy. That's a good return.  [00:14:08] Sam Wilson: Right. Absolutely. Let's talk about debt. What are your strategies on debt right now?  [00:14:14] Mark Weinstein: Relationships. So you need relationships, you know, with different banks, First Republic Bank, Banc of California, two banks that are California-based, have been really loyal to us in giving us debt. You know, they held the, in the threes, mid- 3, 3- 4. You know, while rates were changing dramatically now, it's, you know, about 4.1, fixed rate, lower leverage, 55% non-recourse. You know, reliable, good, you know, good bank relationships. You know, also balance sheet loans from other lenders. Really, you got to do fixed-rate loans. You got to be able to do that in this, you know, this part of the cycle.  [00:14:50] Sam Wilson: Right, right. Yeah. And I heard somebody say that earlier this year, I'm probably going to butcher the way they said it, but it was something like borrowing long-term debt at a fixed rate is its own inflation hedge in its own right if you're able to then obviously redeploy that capital and collect the delta, redeploy at a higher, higher rate of return.  [00:15:06] Mark Weinstein: Yeah. The only other thing I'd mention is that I like the flexibility. If you can marry a fixed rate with, being able to prepay it without the feasance, that's also a really good thing that you try to do to, you know, 'cause one of the negatives of fix rate financing is that when you want to get out of the loan, it could be very costly. So if you're able to get fixed rate financing that is flexible like you can with private banks, it's a really big win.  [00:15:33] Sam Wilson: Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. That's a fantastic point. Mark, I've really enjoyed you coming on the show today. Certainly appreciate it. I love how you've kind of bootstrapped your way from five units all the way to a billion-and-a-half dollar portfolio.
