Stephanie Casper, the Chief Revenue Officer of Kiavi, joins our podcast to discuss how Kiavi is leveraging proprietary technology, in-house data models, machine learning models, and AI to make the process of borrowing money for the purposes of investing in residential real estate easier for their customers. Join us as Dean and Stephanie unpack the current dynamics of the 'fix and flip' market and the single-family rental sector. This is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of technology and real estate investment.
Whether it's short-term financing that covers the cost of purchasing a property, or a small loan for renovation expenses, investors need to work with lenders who can provide advice on market trends, property values, and renovation costs. But it's rare to find lenders that offer loans to fix-and-flip investors and become a trusted partner in their journey. Kiavi CRO, Stephanie Casper, teaches us about what investors get wrong when making it big in the industry from the perspective of a lender. This is one episode you shouldn't miss, especially if you're new in the industry.Key Points From This Episode: What is her reaction to rising interest rates?How does she see the groups that are being successful today projecting their exit prices? What's the central theme to thinking through the current rate environment?Is she seeing a return to normal as demand drops slightly in the housing market? What marketing efforts is her company doing today?What's her forecast for flipping in general as a business model for the year ahead?Where are the pitfalls that people need to be watching out for as the environment changes?What's something that she's doing or has done over the last six months that she's implemented to drive development in one of the areas?Tweetables: “Regardless of the interest rate environment, there is always going to be a need for housing, and flippers are often best suited to delivering those homes.”“It's not just the business plan and math problem [for the flipper]; it's a bit of an emotional buy because you want to prove you can do it and help your ego along. That's where a lot of new investors get caught.”“What is the return on your capital that you need? What is the cost? What's the math? That's really how you avoid the emotional buy for sure.”“Using bridge loans to buy stabilized and then refinancing that whole BRRR Strategy for investors is another way that we are augmenting that fix-and-flip demand.” “Higher interest rates are still going to be around for a few years, but they're not going to be around forever.”Link Mentioned in Today's Episode:KiaviStephanie Casper on LinkedInAbout Stephanie CasperStephanie Casper is the Chief Revenue Officer of Kiavi.
