Podcasts about toro real estate partners

Although prices have come down as much as 30% or even higher on Class B and C Value-Add multifamily, they haven't come down enough for most seasoned investors to want to jump back in. There still needs to be further concessions to make the deals pencil, and to be worth the risk entailed with value-add. Buying and selling land in growing markets, however, can generate very attractive rates of return at far lower capital entry points. John Cohen, Founder of Toro Real Estate Partners, sold off most of his portfolio of 4500 multifamily units from 2020-2024, and has been acquiring land and selling to single family builders. 

Chris Grenzig, founder of JAG Capital Partners, brings a wealth of multifamily real estate expertise to the Jacksonville and Orlando areas. From 2016 to 2020, Chris worked with Toro Real Estate Partners, helping acquire over 4,000 units across 23 properties. During his last three years there, he expanded the company's Florida portfolio from 0 to 1,000 units across seven properties in Jacksonville. In 2020, Chris launched JAG Capital Partners as a vertically integrated real estate company focused on value-add multifamily properties in Jacksonville. Since then, he has acquired and managed over 150 units, currently holding 51. In January 2024, Chris opened JAG Property Management to serve other residential property owners, providing management for single-family homes, condos, townhomes, and multifamily units from 1 to 80 units.   In this episode, we talked to Chris about managing properties and real estate portfolios, common challenges he faces and how he resolves them, tips for investors making new acquisitions, and much more.   Announcement: Learn about our Apartment Investing Mastermind here.   Property Management;   02:30 Chris' background; 11:57 Common challenges he sees with real estate portfolios; 24:14 Tips for investors making new acquisitions; 28:17 Round of Insights   Announcement: Download our Sample Deal package here.   Round of Insights   Apparent Failure: A triplex he invested in turned out to be way more costly than he expected, but he learned many lessons along the way.

He notes that the market has evolved, with new groups entering the space and investors struggling to compete with lower-grade property buyers. Additionally, John highlights the distress of deals done before or during the early stages of the pandemic due to lack of cash flow or banks refusing to renew loans.

Today, I'm speaking with Chris Grenzig. Chris began his real estate investing journey in 2016 by attempting to flip houses on Long Island NY, but ultimately failed to flip a single property despite spending tens of thousands of dollars and several months trying. Instead of giving up, he shifted his focus to multifamily real estate and started by investing passively in an 8-unit property, then joint venturing on another 100 units worth over $4.5M. Chris's experience landed him a job with Toro Real Estate Partners, which gave him an opportunity to learn from experienced investors. Over the course of 4 years, he became responsible for overseeing all of their Florida portfolio which consisted of 7 properties, totaling roughly 1,000 units worth $70M. In 2020, Chris's persistence in the real estate investing game finally paid off as he ventured out on his own and founded JAG Communities — a vertically integrated multifamily investment firm that specializes in creating an exceptional living experience for residents. In this conversation, Chris walks us through his journey, from failing to flip houses to quitting his job and making a way in multifamily real estate. You'll also hear us dissect his first two deals, including a 16 unit and 24 unit property, along with his 10 year plan for reaching $500 AUM!

GUEST BIO Chris Grenzig is an asset manager of Toro Real Estate Partners. Before he was involved in real estate, he took a job as a soccer coach after he earned his bachelor degree in business management. When he realized that he missed New York, he went back and after realizing that coaching was not the best fit for him anymore so he went on and took another job as a cold caller in a stock brokerage company. He quickly realized that being in the stock brokerage game didn't bring much fulfillment. He also quickly realized that the products he was selling - he wouldn't sell to a family member. Unlike the investments that he does in multifamily today. Join us today as he shares value with the community and describes his transition dating back to trying to flip homes back home to coaching soccer, to working on wall street to finally making it to fulfilling the position as the asset manager that he is today.
