Value-add real estate is my favorite strategy for creating wealth with multifamily real estate investing. Value-add properties are those that have the potential to be improved, either through renovations, upgrades, or better management. By identifying and implementing these improvements, investors can increase the value of their properties and generate higher returns.  In this episode, I uncover the process that I've created to identify these opportunities.

In this week's Follow Up Friday, Amber Kuhn recaps a discussion on ranking value adds and practice valuation. On Monday, Matt and Micah delivered a masterclass on value-add services that'll have you rethinking your client relationships faster than you can say "fiduciary responsibility." They dove into the art of creating one-page documents that showcase your value to clients while somehow managing to keep themselves to just one page each. They ranked these value-adds from "you should be doing this yesterday" to "this might require its own dedicated team.” Remember the "dishwasher rule"? These value-adds aren't just services—they're tangible evidence of the value you're providing. In Thursday's bonus episode, Matt spoke with Scott DiGiammarino from JPTD Partners. Scott shared that with over 40 deals in the past year, his clients see valuations at double or triple the industry norm. For advisors thinking selling means retiring to a beach somewhere, Scott dispelled the myth that sellers have to exit completely. In fact, buyers (particularly those private equity firms) prefer you stick around to keep growing the business—they just want a piece of that lucrative pie. The takeaway from both episodes? Whether you're building value through client services or preparing to cash in on the practice you've built, being proactive, strategic, and clear about your vision is non-negotiable.

In certain markets, you can buy suburban office property for as low as $10/ft where it costs $200/ft to build. What's more, you don't have to go through the toil of finding off market deals, they're listed publicly on LoopNet, Crexi, and other prominent sites. As workers have left downtown offices, they've chosen to work closer to home. Buildings with smaller one to three person offices in particular are seeing strong tenant demand. As a result, many suburban office buildings are at 90% occupancy.  Ash Patel, a successful Value-Add investor, invests in office buildings, flex Industrial, strip retail, and ground up construction. Ash doubles his money on most deals in three to five years.

Which rental renovations give you the biggest bang for your buck, turning a few thousand dollars of materials and labor into hundreds of more dollars of rent per month and tens of thousands more in home value? Today, we're going through each tier of rental renovations: easy and cheap ($5,000 or under), moderately challenging and expensive ($25,000 - $50,000), and hard/pro-level ($50,000+). This will give you a roadmap of high-ROI rental renovations you can make right now to increase your property's value and rent. Why are these rental renovations (AKA value-add) so important right now? Because with so many investors and homebuyers sitting out of the market, you can take your pick of homes with overlooked potential and turn them into high-value investment properties. This not only makes tenants happier due to new renovations and upgrades but also gets you higher rents and wealth-building equity to boot. We'll start with some easy ones—painting, tiling, adding backsplashes, etc.—and work our way up to the pro-level renovations like adding square footage and turning a single-family home into a multifamily. Based on your experience, you can go either route, but both have enormous potential to turn your initial investment into a killer real estate deal. In This Episode We Cover: How to increase your property's value (and rents) with high-ROI rental renovations The easiest (and cheapest) upgrades to make that take little time What to look for when buying a home for “value-add” and signs of money-making potential The one appliance you should NEVER include in your rental property The easy bathroom conversion that will massively boost your home's equity Pro-level rental renovations that could make you six-figures And So Much More!

On this episode of the Best Ever CRE Show, JP Newman, CEO and founder of ThriveFP, discusses navigating the current market cycle in multifamily real estate. With over 20 years of experience and 20,000 units under his belt, Newman shares why his firm strategically reduced their portfolio from 10,000 to 1,500 units to position for upcoming opportunities. He predicts 24 months of market distress ahead, projecting another 10-20% price decline unless interest rates decrease significantly, while emphasizing the importance of having dry powder and maintaining strong investor relationships to capitalize on deals. Newman also provides insights on how institutional capital has changed the multifamily landscape, making it harder to find significantly dislocated opportunities compared to five years ago, though he remains optimistic about multifamily's long-term fundamentals due to the continuing supply-demand imbalance.

What's next for value-add deals: Boom or bust?For years, the value-add strategy dominated multifamily investing. Investors bought underperforming properties, made strategic upgrades, and increased rents to unlock significant value. But as more capital entered the space, competition surged, prices inflated, and true value-add deals became harder to find. At the peak of the cycle, deals were flipped multiple times, with each new buyer attempting to extract more value—sometimes beyond what was realistic.Now we're in a different market. Capital has dried up for the most part, and many properties that once had strong financial backing are struggling with deferred maintenance and lower-than-expected rent growth. As the market resets, the next wave of value-add deals is beginning to take shape. But what conditions need to change before investors can take advantage?

Justin Goodin, founder of Goodin Development, a multifamily development firm that enables busy professionals to invest in real estate without the demands of being a landlord. Justin's journey is one of transformation and calculated risk. Starting his career as a multifamily underwriter at a bank, he quickly realized that the most significant financial benefits in real estate lay on the investor side.

This week, on Today In Space...our first 'Tech Talk' about AI & Business (with some aspirational takes on the role of AI in Humanity's future on Earth and in Space). Our guest David Hirschfeld, CEO of Tekyz, shares the knowledge of his 35-year career in software, including his origin story founding a vending machine software company that grew to 800 customers in 22 countries! We discuss business and AI; including Tekyz's take on the importance of product-market fit and early customer engagement given that "95-98%" of startups fail. David introduced "Launch First," a strategy for pre-launch sales to validate market demand, sharing success stories of securing $70,000 in 60 days for a real estate product and $250,000 for clinical trial software. Long story short - David was a wealth of knowledge and practical expertise, and we talked about almost anything and everything tech, AI, and even philosophy and business along with some laughs! With the way 2025 is shaping up, AI and technology will continue to make a difference in our lives. Our goal is to dive-in head first, try to understand the unknown and talk to experts along the way and share it with you. Our goal is to face our fear of the unknow and try to understand the magic behind it, using the scientific mindset as our guide. If AI's promise of impact is anywhere close to humanity discovering fire, then every little bit of understanding we have will help us make a better future for the world tomorrow. While we definitely recommend you do your homework, all you need to do is get comfortable, get ready to listen, and dive in with us. Alex shares some of his thoughts and concerns about AI, and the two have a great debate of ideas and topics, some of which include: The Value-Add for AI and how it can help you Concerns about AI and Corruption The Quality of data used to train AI models The Energy consumption of AI at scale  The future of AI in Space Travel Examples of real life applications of AI to make life better for individuals and businesses We thank David for joining us and being such a great guest!

What's the best way to build wealth in 2024? For many, it's “value-add” real estate investing. You might know what this is, but you may have never heard the term before. Value-add investing is when you buy investment properties, improve them, increase the cash flow, equity, or both, and reap the rewards by holding onto them as rentals or flipping them for quick cash. Today's investor, Tom Shallcross, is doing just this, but he's making BIG returns (six figures on flips!) and funneling those profits into his sizable rental portfolio. And he's doing it all in 2024. We know that everyone has told you how impossible it is to invest in real estate in 2024, but Tom instantly proves the naysayers wrong. Not only is he flipping houses, but he's also buying rentals, BRRRRing (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat), and doing it all in a competitive market—Chicago! So what's he doing differently? Tom gets the deals before the rest of the investors in his area can, takes on BIG house flips that most investors are too scared to, and constantly reinvests the profits into more real estate. He's been doing it since 2016 and is STILL finding success in today's market. How's he getting the best deals sent to him? How's he making such large profit margins? We're uncovering his exact strategy and method in today's episode.  In This Episode We Cover: “Value-add” real estate investing explained and why it still works in 2024 Knowing your neighborhood “class” and why Tom switched from C to A How Tom is making six-figure profits on house flips even in today's market  Real estate partnerships and the skillsets you need to build a profitable flipping/rental/rehab business  How to get real estate agents to send you properties BEFORE they hit the market  Using short-term projects (flips!) to fund your rental property portfolio  And So Much More!

Andy McMullen, CEO of Legacy Acquisitions, joins host Slocomb Reed on the Best Ever CRE Show. In this episode, Andy discusses developing build-to-rent in the southeast, why the time horizon to build in a certain market is among the most crucial factors when choosing BTR markets, and why he prefers BTR to multifamily value-add. Slocomb — a multifamily owner/operator — plays devil's advocate, challenging Andy on BTR assumptions and strategies, and Andy fires back with the details and nuances his team focuses on to give them a competitive advantage.

Zihao Wang, CEO at Motiva Holdings, discusses their value-add multifamily investment strategy and portfolio growth. They focus on both Southern California and other markets such as the Texas Triangle and the Midwest. In Southern California, they target two types of value-add plays: properties with mom and pop owners who haven't raised rents due to rent control, and properties with sophisticated operators who have already added value but still have rental upside. Zihao explains how rent control affects their strategies and the challenges of re-tenanting properties. He also discusses their capital raising approach, return projections, and the benefits of investing in different markets. Sponsors: Altra Running Apartments.com
