Apartment syndications are one way to substantially diversify your real estate portfolio and access the immense benefits that commercial real estate ownership can provide. It allows you to hold different assets in your portfolio without having to be on-site or hyper-familiar with the particular location of the investment. However, most people still do not understand how it works. In this episode, Jonathan Tonks joins us on a deep-dive into the syndication model — its benefits and how it helped him aid more people from a financial standpoint. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: Geographic diversification is important in building a strong asset portfolio. Relationship building is critical for scaling. Stay involved with your partners throughout the entire syndication process. Operate with a service mentality. Episode Highlights: [11:11] Jonathan's Investing Strategy His early mentality was to look at 20 to 50 assets available in his local market. However, his mentors taught him to aim for better growth markets and opportunities. This means buying higher price points and diversifying geographically. [13:28] Defining Syndication Syndication is an incredible way to gain substantial wealth and exposure to real estate. Simply said, syndication is partnering with individuals to purchase and acquire an asset that is not necessarily real estate. [17:25] Why You Need to Diversify If all your assets are centered in one city, you will be capped by the limits of that city. This is why it's important to have assets in different areas. And this is where the syndication model comes in handy. [19:22] Two Types of Partners The syndication model has an active partnership team and a passive partnership team. The active group or the general partners (GPs) consists of everyone who is part of the acquisition. The passive group or limited partners (LPs) consists of the people who are contributing equity capital to help close the properties. [26:21] Jonathan's Underlying Mindset in Syndication Jonathan believes in the service mentality. He wants to introduce syndication to people because he knows it can change both lives from a wealth perspective. It is less of the money aspect and more of building a relationship with his partners in the long term. Notable Quotes: [8:32] “Get your money working at a good number and continue to do that because over time that's going to build wealth. That's how you obtain that substantial number.” [8:54] “If it's getting you in a better position than you otherwise would have been in, that's a good house hack. That's a good investment.” [31:09] “That's how I sort of approach everything every day: service abundance. And from there, we can all win. Right? There's no zero-sum game.” Resources Mentioned: Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki The Complete Guide to Buying and Selling Apartment Buildings by Steve Berges Provision Space jtonks@provisionspace.com Reach out to Jeremy on LinkedIn and Instagram Connect with Jonathan on LinkedIn and @provisionspace
Ketan Patel discusses mindset and an overview of syndication in real estate. Episode Summary Even though it is the cornerstone to success, mindset is often overlooked. We do not realize how much our limiting beliefs are holding us back from getting started in real estate or taking the next step. Ketan Patel, a pharmacist, turned full-time real estate investor and High-Performance Real Estate Coach, looks to help his clients overcome the thoughts that hold them back so that they can flourish. In this episode, we hear about Ketan's journey from pharmacy to real estate, where he talks about why we need to reframe risk. Ketan explains how individuals struggling with mindset can overcome those obstacles and shares insight for building confidence in real estate investing. Rather than thinking about what we might lose, if we consider what we can gain, taking bold action becomes easier. Ketan shares the innovative way he funded his first deal, and he also talks about multifamily syndication, a great way to passively invest in real estate. The conversation touches on the power of mindset, where Ketan offers insights into how he's worked on his. Ketan shares the value of being grateful for what you have and why you have to find joy beyond the numbers. Ketan truly embodies the idea that mindset matters. Key Points From This Episode Get to know today's guest, Ketan Patel. Hear details about Ketan's pharmacy journey and his subsequent transition into real estate. How Ketan moved into real estate; it wasn't all at once. Insights into Ketan's first deal and the creative way he managed to get funds for it. Why Ketan believes that there is no such thing as a risk: you always win something. How mindset influences your outlook and frames the way you see things. Typical roadblocks Ketan that helps his clients overcome. At some point, you have to ask yourself why you are truly not making the decision to jump into real estate. Where Ketan's first deal opportunity came from. Confidence comes after action, not the other way around. A look at what syndication is, how this structure works, and the partners involved in deals. Who can participate in syndication and whether or not you need to be an accredited investor. What Ketan is currently working toward; it's more than just the numbers. Finding the balance between wanting more and living in the moment. Final questions to end the show. Highlights “I realized that with real estate, you have a lot of flexibility. You could do a flip, you could partner with someone, invest passively, you could buy a small rental, you don't have to quit your job day one.” — Ketan Patel [0:06:45] “It doesn't really matter what business you do and what your strategies are. At the end of the day, the thoughts, the beliefs, the emotions you have, they determine so much about your success and things like that. Instead of just focusing on the knowledge, the technical aspects, they are important, but they're not as important.” — Ketan Patel [0:10:12] “You can't postpone happiness and joy and everything for the future. I got to start living it now regardless if I have that or not.” — Ketan Patel [0:30:15] “We [pharmacists] don't give ourselves credit of what's really possible for us.” — Ketan Patel [0:32:44] Links Mentioned in Today's Episode Join the YFP Real Estate Investing Facebook Group Ketan Patel Coaching: Results Coaching Mukhi Capital The Complete Guide to Buying and Selling Apartment Buildings by Steve Berges Ketan Patel Coaching Ketan Patel Coaching: Capital Raising Pro Apply for a Results Coaching Session with Ketan YFP Real Estate Investing

After graduating from Ohio State, Paul entered the management development track at Ford in Detroit. After five years, he left to start a staffing company. He scaled and sold the company to a publicly traded firm. After a brief “retirement”, Paul began investing in real estate in 2000 to protect and grow his own wealth. He's completed over 85 real estate investments but it was a very successful multifamily project in 2010 that convinced him of the power of commercial real estate. This has been his focus ever since. This led him to author his first book, The Perfect Investment- Create Enduring Wealth from the Historic Shift to Multifamily. Paul is married with 4 children and lives in Central Virginia. He strives to abide with God and to follow Jesus daily. Paul is a great role model for all of us real estate investors who long to live meaningful, God-honoring lives.

If you've listened to the show before, you've probably heard me talk about the power of the first deal. Your first multifamily deal will be the smallest, the longest, and the hardest deal you will ever have to make. However, the power of the first deal is that the second and third, which follow in rapid succession, are almost automatic. Jordan Madewell, my guest on this week's show, knows all about the power of the first deal. Closing on his first multifamily, a 23-unit complex, with his business partner in 2016, Jordan is on the fast-track to completing his next two deals, which he hopes will help him reach his 2017 goal of 100 units. I can't wait to see how he gets on in the next 12 months, but in the meantime, let's listen as Jordan talks about his drive, how he got started in real estate, and most importantly, how he nailed that all-important first deal.

After making the switch from single family to multifamily investing, Brad managed to replace his income in just 2 years.In this episode I talk to Brad about the amazing progress he has made over the last 2 years, investigating the reasoning and In this episode I talk to Brad about the amazing progress he has made over the last 2 years, investigating the reasoning and mindset behind his life-changing actions, as well as the habits he has developed to achieve his goals. From his first multifamily deal, to the syndication of a second complex, the results of Brad's determination and decision-making can serve to inspire anyone interested in multifamily real estate investing. Key Takeaways [03:05] Brad's backstory: from 9 - 5 to real estate. Brad has worked in auto engineering all his life. Layoffs in the auto industry inspired Brad to seek out a second source of income. He realized he needed a ‘Plan B'. [04:56] The thought processes behind real estate investing. Now with a family, Brad was starting to think about how to secure a financial income. He moved into a new family home and began to rent his old home. Gravitating towards real estate, he started researching and investing in single family. [07:23] Thinking about replacing income with real estate. Maintain flexible and ever moving goals. First goal to replace 25% of income, then 50%... Recently achieved goal to replace 100% of income with real estate. [9:09] ‘The idea was to buy one house per year'. Transitioned to the multifamily market after buying his 5th single family home. Did not start with multifamily because the thought was too daunting. Wishes he had started sooner. [11:45] Making the move to multifamily investing. Brad started to educate himself, reading over a dozen books on apartment investing. Started analyzing deals to get comfortable with the numbers. Analysed 50 deals and gained confidence in the market. [14:14] Brad's first multifamily deal. 12 units. Agreed on $850,000 ($71,000 per unit). Raised rents to market value for an instant cash flow boost. [19:50 ] A change in comfort zone and a shift in goals. The benefits of finding a good property manager. Finding more money to invest in multifamily. [25:25] The ability to make deals directly impacts the scalability of the business. After the first 12 units Brad set his sights on fully replacing his income. He wanted to cover his family's living costs, his ‘rat race number'. [26:04] Brad's motivation for doing what he does At first it was to provide for his family Now it's about gaining freedom with his time [27:21 ] Why Brad keeps doing new deals even though he's met his financial goals Brad loves analyzing deals. Wants to pursue more syndication deals. [35:35] Real estate investing alongside a full-time job. Utilize your free time in the most effective way possible. Research deals on lunch breaks, use your daily commute to make phone calls. [36:25] Changing your habits and finding your why. Do something every day to keep your deals moving. Don't let anybody else own your time. Find your drive. Brad's is to spend more time with his family. [42:26] What Brad would tell his younger self. 1st get expenses under control Go into multifamily sooner and build the right mindset Start young, start early, be serious about it.
