While there's no guarantee that properties will increase in value, historically they have over time -- especially in high growth areas of the nation. But if you want faster appreciation, you have to create it. Real estate investors "force" appreciation by increasing the value of a property through updates, renovations, or development. In this episode, my guest Victor Menasce, shares how he forces appreciation on his properties. And he says it all starts with the right mindset.  Victor is a senior partner at Y Street Capital, the President of the Ottawa Real Estate investing Organization, and the host of The Real Estate Espresso Podcast. He's also the author of "Magnetic Capital."

How to find and assemble large projects? What are the real estate market trends? Victor Menasce, an author, real estate developer, and host of the Real Estate Espresso Podcast, shares his knowledge.Read this entire interview here:You have many projects right now, one in particular is huge. How did you get it? How did you put it together? And what are some of the good, bad and the ugly that so far has happened?Every single one of our significant projects has landed in our lap. Somebody says, "I've got this deal. I don't know what to do with it. Can you help?" This was a huge property on the edge of Colorado Springs, it's 77 million square feet, and the perimeter is about seven miles.Someone approached us who got it under contract, he didn't have the money to put it together, and had negotiated a reasonable price of 10,000 an acre, about 23 cents a square foot. If you look at agricultural land anywhere across the United States, it will vary between 3 to 10,000 an acre, depending on where it's located. If you're growing weed on it, it's maybe towards the higher end of that spectrum. I typically talk about the entitlement multiplier that comes with land because it's just dirt, why is this dirt worth more than that? It's because of what you can do with it. An agricultural land, 3 to 10,000 an acre, if it's entitled for development, and maybe you can put a subdivision on, it might be a couple of 100,000 an acre. If you can put a 40-story building on it might be several million an acre, but it's all still the same dirt. If we can transform this from agricultural land into the growth path for the city of Colorado Springs, we can probably create a reasonable multiplayer value.We took over the contract, we renegotiated it, and got it re-signed with us. We negotiated a fairly lengthy closing period, which included the entitlement. It had some timelines associated with it, so the sooner the entitlement or the expiration. We did not meet the entitlement timelines that we were originally expecting, based on conversations with both the county and the city of Colorado Springs, that this is something that would be pretty quick. It has turned out to not be quick, but it's still an amazing project.Where is the market today? Are the deals better? Is it time to buy?I wouldn't say that it's better in the sense that there's less insanity than there was because I think we would all acknowledge that many of the valuations that we witnessed in 2021, 2022, and parts of 2023 made no sense at all. I think reality is setting in for many of those and that's going to create distress for a number of those. If you think about folks who would have started a project, maybe a value-add project in 2021 with certain interest rate assumptions, with assumptions about rent growth, etc, they find themselves in a very different world today, probably with no path to get into permanent financing without writing a massive check. And initially, they were probably thinking they were going to get a significant cash-out to refinance, but it's going the other way.I think the lenders are still in a mode of "extend and pretend", bridge lenders in particular. The forecast flood of deals is a trickle, not a flood yet, I think it's coming but a lot of lenders don't want to recognize distress on their books. We are starting to see valuations become more reasonable. We are evaluating deals daily. We are looking right now at two projects that are significant opportunities for office-to-residential conversions at a decent price.Victor MenasceThe Real Estate Espresso...

Today's Flash Back Friday Episode is from Episode #219, which originally aired on March 5, 2019. Today's episode of The Real Estate Investing for Cash Flow Podcast features real estate investment expert and serial entrepreneur, Victor Menasce.
 Victor held senior roles at several firms in the high tech industry for 25 years before deciding to become full time with real estate 9 years ago. He has since touched on ground up RV communities, multi-family and residential developments, and much more. 
 Today he sheds light on a particularly unglamorous side of the business: rough patches and how he was able to weather them out to still achieve success. Quotes: "I wasted a lot of time and probably wasted a lot of money basically going back and entering that business from the bottom of the business as opposed to coming into that business from the top of the business." "One of the perspectives that I always take when it comes to real estate projects is to make sure that those projects have enough margin to be resilient."
 "The key in the success for any active business is the team."
 "You want to make sure that if there is strong demand that there is some kind of constraint on the supply side." "The number one mistake I see a lot if investors make is that they are starting projects that are too small and one of the consequences of that is that you can't afford the skills that you need to properly fill out your team."

This episode tackles the extensive and complex topic, THE CANADIAN HOUSING MARKET.   This episode comes from a few recent podcasts where I was a guest. In the time available, I shared a couple of thought processes and strategies I'm implementing right now.   The Canadian housing market is a big topic, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution to Canada's housing market. Moreover, any solution will need to take into account regional differences and local challenges.   A special thank you to Victor & James for the opportunity to share with your audiences =====

Victor shares a lot today about how to scale up a real estate portfolio, how novices can get started interning/volunteering on development projects to gain invaluable experience for a smoother transition from side hustle developer to full timer.  There's Victor's strategy of “buy on the line, move the line” for investing in gentrifying locations.  We've been practising the same strategy in our local markets, I just didn't know there was a name for it.  In Hamilton the old rules were to stay south of Main St. and West of James St., as a rule breaker we didn't listen knowing affordability would cause the areas we targeted to appreciate and it worked out incredibly well.  If you too are looking to build out a team in the areas east and west of the GTA where properties actually cash flow then don't miss out on our street smart tours! New to 2023 we'll be operating tours of income properties in Oshawa followed by a mastermind lunch for which I'll be in attendance as well. This a wonderful opportunity for investors of any level, especially novices to see how the FOUR time Realtors of the Year to investors service their clients enabling them to build intergenerational wealth. Make sure you're on our email newsletter along with 10,000+ other hard working Canadian investors available at www.truthaboutrealestateinvesting.ca. I hope to see you in 2023 at one of our iWIN Real Estate meetups and/or street smart tours.  Like Victor says, there are going to be some great deals available in the near future.  Learn what a deal looks like and work with an award winning team that produces successful, multi-millionaire investor clients.

We have been caught in an updraught of optimism over the last 10 years. But now, as the tables turn… We need to remember the most important rule of investing: Return OF Investment > Return ON Investment Liquidity is drying up, which means… It is MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER to have a Plan for Preserving Investor Capital. Luckily, seasoned developer, Victor Menasce, gives us the playbook for how to do it! With inflation as high as it is, Real INTEREST RATES on Debt are still NEGATIVE… Therefore, a serviceable amount of debt is still a LICENSE TO PRINT CASH! However, Long-term debt is the key because… If you don't have an exit plan, you are sending your money to jail. But if you're exit is far enough away, inflation will bring your LTV toward ZERO! However, location still beats everything, so tune in to hear where Victor is still finding deals!!! Take Control, Hunter Thompson Resources mentioned in the podcast: 1.

It's very controlled, we get to deliver the product that the market wants. So, there's not even a question of, `improve these kitchens and bathrooms, ‘is it going to do enough to juice the rents'; we're delivering the product that the market wants today.” – Victor Menasce “People want to invest with people that they know, like, and trust. If you're going to focus on getting to know people, especially people with money, focus on relationships.” – Victor Menasce “You've got to establish trust; it's a psychological contract. It's not just, are you dealing with an honest person? It's, are you able to put together a good plan? Are you able to execute the plan are able to hire the right people? Can I trust you to communicate in an open and transparent way? Can I trust you with my money and on and on and on. If any one of those elements are missing, it doesn't work.” – Victor Menasce “Show me that you know how to be successful. Show me that if you screwed up, how did you handle it, and what did you do to make it right? Track record is vitally important.” – Victor Menasce “Align yourself with people in your team that have that track record.” – Victor Menasce “You've got to have a compelling opportunity. This is where most rookie investors start, they say, I've got a deal, it's all about the deal.” – Victor Menasce “You've got to have perfect alignment between the goals for the project and the goals for the money.” – Victor Menasce Connect with Victor Menasce: www.victorjm.com Facebook Connect with Dave Dubeau:  Property Profits Podcast  www.davedubeau.com  www.investorattractionworkshop.com  Facebook  LinkedIn  Enjoyed the Podcast?  Please subscribe on iTunes for updates

Drew Wahlgren is the Director of Capital Markets at MAG Capital Partners, a private investment firm focusing on single-tenant, net lease development and sale leaseback structured transactions.  In this episode, Drew talks about how he got started in real estate and explained what an industrial single tenant triple net sale leaseback is and why it's a great asset class for consistent cash flow with appreciation upside.Drew talks about the consistent cashflow that starts from day one for the passive investor.  He explains that triple net means that the tenant pays for all maintenance, repairs, insurance and taxes so there are very few expenses for the property owner to pay. Drew also talks about the financial reporting requirements they have for their tenants during due diligence prior to purchase and ongoing after the property is acquired. He discusses why a company would want to sell their property and lease it back and the importance of understanding what the company plans to do with the capital acquired from the transaction. He also talks about the competition in purchasing these assets and when and how they exit a deal.Drew discusses how a passive investor can analyze an industrial tripe net sale leaseback opportunity and mentioned the typical preferred returns and average annual returns his firm strives for and has achieved in the past.  He explains that this is an asset class that has done very well in the pandemic and is expected to continue to outperform in the future.Podcasts he recommends:The Real Estate Espresso Podcast with Victor Menasce  To connect with Drew you can email him at drew@magcp.com or go to www.magcp.com to get more information about MAG Capital Partners.If you would like to contact Jim Pfeifer, you can email him at jim@leftfieldinvestors.com or if you would like to find out more about Left Field Investors go to www.leftfieldinvestors.com.

For this episode, I welcome Victor Menasce, the author of Magnetic Capital and the host of the daily Real Estate Espresso Podcast. He specializes in the development of new construction multi-family apartments, assisted living, industrial, and workforce housing in several markets across North America. Before moving into real estate development, Victor held roles as Vice President of Engineering at Wavesat, a developer of chips for wireless networks, and Chief Technical Officer at Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (AMCC), a Silicon Valley-based public company that develops microprocessors for numerous consumer products including televisions and gaming. Victor lives in Ottawa, Canada with his family. Victor first shares his background story as a microprocessor developer which eventually got tedious and he had to retire. He made a hard turn into the real estate world and is now doing almost all new construction development. We move on to talk about his shift from the tech industry to real estate. There's no one single dominant player in real estate anywhere in the world and people will invest at a level they wouldn't in the tech industry. Victor explains how real estate doesn't require much for people to start investing as compared to tech businesses that require deep pockets to get people to invest. Together we dive into the real estate business approach that Victor took when he joined the industry. He saw a need in his city of Ottawa and strategized a way to serve a targeted market. He started by buying one-bedroom condos within a four-block radius of parliament and marketed them as fully furnished executive suites. He later sold that portfolio to focus on the US market when he saw an opportunity presented by the financial crisis in 2008. We talk about the distress in commercial real estate following the pandemic, which included hotels. Victor explains how wealth is going to be transferred and some good assets will come into the market within a short period. Businesses are especially vulnerable now due to their outstanding debts. We talk about the concept of new builds with Victor explaining his beliefs concerning demand and supply. Victor explains how he and his team learn from their developments in the US on the ‘good side of the line' and the ‘bad side of the line' as is defined by various zoning codes. We move on to the power of developing relationships with the best people in the world. Victor explains how he opened his eyes to opportunities after becoming aware of what is possible. He then talks about his book Magnetic Capital which is about the five principles to help you raise capital for any venture. There's a difference between asking for money and offering an investor an opportunity to collaborate on a project. Victor gives us the reason why he offers compelling and interesting projects that serve a need in the marketplace to potential investors rather than directly asking them for money. We discuss what Victor means when he talks about ‘good charitable cause, bad foundation.' He believes that raising money for a charitable cause is no different from raising money for investment. The foundation of a worthy cause should be set to have an outcome just like an investment does and it is important to look for these qualities when you are looking to invest in one. Lastly, we discuss how to invest like a billionaire by looking for and investing in safe deals.

They will give you capital on a level that they wouldn't in the tech industry.” Victor Menasce “You need to be challenged and pushed out of that comfort zone.” Mike Simmons “Even today, I'm not a real estate guy per se…I really took a business approach.” Victor Menasce “Whenever you have a business model that's based on the assumption that you're going to be able to feed the debt based on the revenue, and the assumption is the revenue is going to stay uniform to service that debt, you have some level of vulnerability.” Victor Menasce “It really comes down to developing relationships with the very best people in the world.” Victor Menasce “Just becoming aware of what's possible opened my eyes to seeing those opportunities.” Victor Menasce “When I saw a void in the marketplace, I just wanted to address that, so that is why I wrote my book.” Victor Menasce “When trust is there, decisions happen faster.” Victor Menasce “If the goals for the money and the goals for the project don't match, don't take the money, because it's not going to work.” Victor Menasce “More sophisticated investors are very clear on what they're looking for.” Victor Menasce “You cannot go into a situation where you're raising funds and appear to need that person more than they need you.” Mike Simmons “Raise funds, don't ask for money.” Mike Simmons “Raising money for a charitable cause is no different than raising money for an investment.” Victor Menasce “If you want to be a billionaire do what billionaires do.

This is our December 2020 Mastermind call. Our guests were Todd Sulzinger (mobile home parks), Victor Menasce (development, various asset classes) and Adriana Finnie (single family investing). You can read this entire interview here: https://bit.ly/3mFeOCs Steffany Boldrini (Self Storage, Car Washes) I have been completely out of touch with everything that is happening in the market and asset classes because I have been dealing with a new asset class that I invested in, and that is carwash. I was put through the wringer right away, within nine days of closing, one of the roofs caved due to snow, money has been already been stolen, and within 20 days of closing, and my maintenance guy quit without giving any notice. Thankfully, I was able to hire someone within a day. I'll be doing a couple of episodes on why car washes, what did we do to them within this last month, and how we are managing it from far away. What I can tell right now, is that it's a very hands on asset class with a lot of moving parts. Todd Sulzinger (Mobile Home Parks) One of the biggest things that is still impacting us is our inability to process evictions. I have properties in Georgia and Tennessee that are landlord friendly states, and in Georgia in particular, we had the courts closed in March, they opened back up at the end of July. And we had to start the eviction process on several people. We had several people that after a couple months process before we got a court date, they moved out just before their eviction was filed. Other people were still going through the process, we've got a couple of tenants now that have been in the park for almost a year that haven't paid rent. And we really have our hands tied. Victor Menasce (Development, Various) We've been busy with a number of new projects. And as you probably know, we also get a fair number of requests to consult on new development. For example we're doing a 150 unit apartment building up in Spokane, Washington for our client, we're doing a 60 unit townhouse subdivision just outside of Boise, Idaho, we are doing a boat and RV storage facility up in Austin, Texas. So we decided to formalize the consulting division and officially make it a core part of the business. And that's going to allow us to train the future leadership in the company. We're not going to accept every client by any means, but only those that we would say are intentionally congruent with that which we're already doing. Adriana Finnie (Single Family Homes) We're in single family homes in California, Ohio, Michigan, and Alabama. We started in California, but in the last three years, we decided that the rules are getting a little too dumb and that it's time to get out. So we've done it in a very leisurely way. We keep waiting for somebody to move, and then we put the house on the market. It has worked nicely until this year when nobody wanted to move for any particular reason. The biggest challenge is evictions.

How do you decide which opportunities to work on as we find stranded assets? We are continuing our conversation with Victor Menasce, he shares excellent insights into his methodology. You can read this entire interview here: https://bit.ly/327vMRL When you look at a property, what’s your thought process of figuring out how can I add value to this, and create something out of nothing? Whenever I look at a property, I’m always thinking in terms of highest and best use. I’m looking to see what are all of the assets. I’m looking at zoning, I’m looking at what zoning has been approved around it or across the street around the corner to see if there’s any precedent for changing the zoning on that particular property. The zoning is always what is the property right now. It’s not what it could be in the future. So if it was a corner store, it’s zoned commercial for corner stores. But across the street, there’s a 20 story building, chances are good that you might get rezoned for a 20 story building. So you have to look to see what else has been done in the area. One of my favorites is something called conservation easements. There is a tax regulation called IRC 170(h) that allows you to donate a piece of land to conservation in perpetuity. And in exchange for that you get a tax deduction. Not what you paid for it, but for its value according to its highest and best use. Now, remember, this property has to have real wilderness conservation value, you're not going to take a parking lot in Pittsburgh and return it to wilderness ever. It has to be something that has real legitimate conservation value. But imagine it has minerals underneath it, maybe it has oil. What if you could get a tax deduction, you could say, It has a nice lake on it, I'm going to donate this to conservation. It has to be donated to a 501c3 land trust. And then you get a tax deduction for the oil that you never pump. How do you pick which ones to take on? You have to be selective. I'm looking at an opportunity right now, in our market there's a shortage of industrial land. And there's an acute need for contractors, and builders to store building materials. A place where they can put down a half dozen C Can containers and they can store lumber. If they can get a deal on building materials, whether it's siding, or lumber, anything that it's going to be in short supply that they need over the next 8, 10, 12 months, because we're definitely in a supply chain constrained environment. They need that space. I'm in the middle of striking a deal right now with a landowner who has some land, they don't know what to do with it. I'm probably not even going to buy the land, I'll probably end up just leasing it. And then put security fence around it, put down some C Can containers, provide secure access and lease out these spots to different builders as an outdoor storage facility. It doesn't have to be climate controlled, they can drive in with their trucks and trailers and load up. And I'm solving a business problem for a very low startup cost. Do you have a process of how you go about your day? These things come in when they come in and you look at them and try and give a quick no if you can. I don't spend too much time looking at things. If there's too many moving parts, if there's too much risk of it coming together, then we'll pass on it and pass on it very quickly. As far as the other ones, we'll get with the team and we'll see how would we put this together. They literally come in every day of the week. So we have to dispatch them fairly quickly. And some of them have a gestation period. Sometimes they come together in a matter of weeks, and sometimes in months.

What are some ideas of how to think outside the box and negotiate real estate deals during these times? We asked Victor Menasce, host of The Real Estate Espresso Podcast, author of Magnetic Capital, and experienced investor and developer. You can read this entire interview here: https://montecarlorei.com/what-is-a-stranded-asset-how-to-look-for-opportunities-in-stranded-assets/ What is a stranded asset? And then we can jump into some examples of stranded assets. I'd like to make a distinction in defining the stranded asset. Most of the time people are thinking about distressed assets. Now, in a lot of cases, those distressed assets haven't appeared on the market yet, or if they are, it's really just the very beginning. We're in the midst of a moratorium on evictions, a moratorium on foreclosures. But we know there's a backlog at this stage of millions of distressed properties. I read a report last week that showed that 4.5 million homes in the United States are in either in default or in forbearance. And that happened literally in a very short time period. Now, if you think about the entire financial crisis that took five, six years to play out, a total of 10 million distressed properties, we have gotten half of that in just a few months. So the speed with which this market is gone into distress is unprecedented. A lot of money's sitting on the sidelines today just waiting for those distressed assets, whether it's single family homes, hotels, office buildings, retail, there's going to be a ton of distressed assets on the market and all the money will be chasing those distressed assets. Now the stranded asset is an asset that is a perfectly good asset. What makes it stranded is you can't get to it from here. One of the examples that I give is the following, there's a there's a lighthouse in Prince Edward Island called the Baywatch lighthouse. And you can actually book this lighthouse on Airbnb, and you can stay in it on for the weekend. It's in all the tourism brochures and that would be a wonderful income producing asset. Now, if you take that same lighthouse and you put it out in the middle of the Atlantic, and it's a little bit stormy, and it's not very safe to get to, it might be another very good asset from the perspective that it would be great to spend the weekend, that would be a unique experience, but it's stranded because you can't get to it from here, where it's difficult to get to it, it's inaccessible in some way. And that's what distinguishes a stranded asset. Now, we know that there are a lot of restaurants out there that are shutting down, because they've gone through several months now with no revenue, or insufficient revenue. In some cases, the owners are simply tired. I've come across several restaurants just in my own home community, where there's no reason for them to shut down other than the owner is 75 years old, and he doesn't want to go through the energy of restarting again. there are going to be a lot of commercial kitchens for sale, those are maybe distressed assets. Maybe they just shut down because they decided that they're getting out of the business. Those aren't distressed assets. They're just stranded assets. But there's an even more important stranded asset, and that is the relationship between the customer and the menu. You pay them a royalty for every sale, and you deliver their favorite items.

For the first time ever, we recorded our monthly Mastermind Call with several experienced real estate investors across multiple asset classes. Joining us in this month's mastermind were Beth Azor, Victor Menasce, Andrew Lanoie, Todd Sulzinger, Christian Cascone, RK Kliebenstein. Each investor shares what they are currently going through in their specific situation, market, and asset class. Watch the entire recording here: https://youtu.be/-HUUIv1hDmA Read the entire transcript here: https://rb.gy/frif7o Steff Boldrini, Retail, Self Storage San Francisco is a ghost town. Nobody wants to quarantine in four walls with no access to work at a coffee shop or in common areas of their buildings. There are deals in the rental space that are completely unheard of and we would have never imagined they would be happening like one to two months off, and as much as 30% rent decrease. Andrew Lanoie, Mobile Home Parks In general have been down a little bit, not too bad. A lot of parts of our business have have been frozen, we sent our construction company home. And as everyone knows, some of the lending dried up a little bit, some lenders are back, and some stayed the same through all this. We're just figuring out how to get back into acquisition mode, and all of the Capex and all the projects and things that we have in our world for our portfolio. Todd Sulzinger, Mobile Home Parks In our parks, we've had some struggles with collections as well, I have parks in Georgia and Tennessee and we've had more issues with collections in Georgia. It has been a combination of some tenants who were affected by COVID related situations where they lost their jobs due to the pandemic. And in those situations, we reached out to them and said, If you actually were then please fill out this form, and get proof from your employer that your job was affected by the pandemic. In other cases, we've had people really take advantage of the fact that the courts have been closed. Beth Azor, Retail I own six retail shopping centers, we've had a ton of retail bankruptcies from Tuesday Morning, Pier One, Ascena is about to file, 24 Hour Fitness, GNC Gold's Gym, Starbucks will close 400 stores. The national dealmaking will be on hold until 2021 because of the inability to travel, anyone that owns shopping centers looking to fill retail space in the next 6-9months, will be focusing on local and regional players. Victor Menasce, Developer We are making some progress on getting debt for new construction and even some equity as well. It's tougher than it was. We're not doing anything in retail or office, thankfully. But in the multi-family and senior housing asset classes, we are able to find both debt and equity. For the moment, it appears as though rent collections in multi-family are pretty strong. RK Kliebenstein, Self Storage Our industry has always been regarded as recession resilient. Delinquency is now hovering somewhere between 5 and 7%. We look at it as not being devastating, but certainly as being cautionary. When money from the Cares Act runs out that will be a better tell. Christian Cascone, Developer, Multi-Family The market just has gotten too unpredictable at this point. There's capital being injected in the wrong places and we feel like it's causing some problems as far as the free market is essentially dead at this point. We're trying to see if there's going to be some opportunities down the road for high quality assets and great locations in the US, 12-18 months from now. We're seeing opportunity zones get hot again, as people have huge capital gains that they're able to deploy into, Join our newsletter here: www.montecarlorei.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/best-commercial-retail-real-estate-investing-advice-ever/support

Victor Menasce started out in the telecom space creating microprocessors and data cards. If you have made a phone call from 1991- 2011, chances are you've used a processor created by Victor. He started to realize he had built the skill sets from his experience in mergers, acquisitions and capital funding. He utilized this and took a step into real estate investing. Victor takes a business approach to everything he does and states that every strategy needs to follow the law of supply and demand. His first transition into real estate was providing executive suite type properties on a medium term basis. Victor lives in Ottawa, Canada where there is alot of Parliamentary and Embassy staff the had a need for higher end housing without getting locked into a year long lease. Victor's first step into real estate was to fill this need. Menasce kept this creative mindset thriving and wound up purchasing a Minor League Baseball Stadium for $950,000. This Stadium had a cell tower that they wound up selling for $750,000. From there, Victor and his team took a very creative approach on handling this asset.

The black swan has arrived in our economy, the Coronavirus has taken an unprecedented, unanticipated curve in our economy. What will the impacts be in the commercial real estate market? We talked with experienced real estate investors that have been through a few economic downturns to get their perspective on what we should do during this time. We spoke with George Ross, he has done more real estate deals in New York City than virtually anyone else alive today. We also noted thoughts from other notable investors like Neal Bawa and Kathy Fettke. You can read this entire episode here: https://montecarlorei.com/how-will-the-coronavirus-impact-the-real-estate-market/ What are specific steps that we can take to prepare ourselves? If we currently own commercial properties, should we start talking to banks, or any other ideas? No, wait. Banks will talk to you, because they don’t know what to do either. Imagine, for example, that a bank has so many millions of dollars in mortgages in houses and all the people stopped paying. Now, what does the bank do? Well, they’re not going to be solvent. This is money that they anticipated coming in. And they don’t have it. So what do you do? The banks don’t know what to do. That’s where they come to the government and say, hey, here’s my problem. I don’t know what the end result is, but I do feel that, and I feel very strongly about it, that ultimately the government will come in and step in and help the banks if they have a need. They’ll pump a tremendous amount of money in. And we’re talking about trillions if necessary. We only know it’s necessary once the effect has become critical. It’s not a big problem if somebody misses a payment for a month on a mortgage. What happens if they miss it for a year? Now you’re talking about an entirely different situation. What happens if they never have the money to repay it? Do you also think we should wait if we think now is the right time to buy real estate? Where are you going to get the money? If you went out to buy a piece of property, you’ll want to get a bank loan. They’re going to be very hesitant because they’re not going to want to make loans. They should, they have plenty of money. But they don’t want to make loans. I don’t know the answer to it. But if you had some money sitting there, or you can raise the money yourself from savings, or from refinancing debt that you have, and you have excess money – that’s your down payment. So don’t put up a lot of cash. Just put a down payment, take an option to buy. I wouldn’t go haywire. But if a deal comes up that you think is really good, you’ll get unbelievable negotiating position because they’ll panic. And those who panic just overreact. I can see overreaction in certain instances, but I can’t see overreaction when it comes to real estate. It has a long history with ups and downs. If the seller is very nervous and wants to do the deal, you’ll get some fantastic deals. You’ll be able to buy property with no cash. But you will have some kind of agreement to pay with something down. People will want to get out of it because it’s not money making. the money that I was anticipating, therefore, they don’t like that and they say let that be somebody else’s headache. Somebody buys and says, okay, I’ll take the headache. But they’re not going to pay cash dollars upfront because they have the headache. Somehow they’re going to have to solve that problem. But would it be a good time? Absolutely.

Learn how to find, analyze and learn more about micro markets for your real estate investments. Victor Menasce has been investing in real estate for the last nine years in both Canada and the United States, and has done all kinds of commercial projects. You can read this entire episode here: https://montecarlorei.com/how-to-find-and-analyze-a-market-for-your-real-estate-investments/ What are some market conditions that people should be looking for in real estate? I’m not actually a real estate person per se. I really think of myself more as a business person. When you talk to real estate people, they tend to get wrapped around the axle talking about things like comparable sales and things like that. And that’s useful, but it’s not the whole picture. I’m a much bigger believer in the fundamentals of the very simple law of supply and demand. If you’ve an excess of supply and a shortage of demand, you can predict what’s going to happen. Prices are going to fall if you have a shortage of supply and an excess of demand. And those conditions are going to persist. You have a really robust market from the point of view of an investor or developer, because there’s going to always be upward pressure on prices, upward pressure on rent, upward pressure on valuations. And that’s what I look for. I want to find markets, and when I say markets, I really mean micro markets. Micro markets where those conditions persist, they exist. They’re not artificial. They’re going to be there for a long time for some good reason. How do you come across these locations, typically? Is it someone that just mentions it to you, or you come across an article? It’s almost always through a conversation where someone will say something and we’ll say, that’s intriguing, and then look into it a little bit deeper and see if there’s really something there. Not only to see if those market conditions are there, but who else is in the market? Is it a market where it’s a closed market and there’s only two or three players? Or is it one that is open to other folks coming into the market and adding some capacity. We talk to a lot of investors every day, and I think most listeners of your show would agree that today, there’s more money chasing deals than there are in fact opportunities, at least at a decent price. And because there’s so much money chasing deals, prices are getting bid up into the stratosphere. Prices are getting bid up to levels that frankly don’t make sense. And my calculator works the same this year as it did two years ago, as it did four years ago. And it’s funny how for some investors the math changes, and it shouldn’t. When you are assessing a particular property, how do you approach it from it being a fit for the monetary goals of the project? Our focus is on things that are recession resistant, recession proof. I don’t want to be subject to the vagaries of a market cycle. For that reason, I won’t go into retail, for example, if I have a vacancy in a retail strip mall, that location could be vacant for a year or two if I’m waiting for that perfect tenant who’s looking for exactly that square footage. And then of course, you’ve got to do tenant improvements, you’ve got to do a build out. So you really are looking for that needle in a haystack type of perfect fit. One way is to find them. The second way is to manufacture them out of thin air, to create them.

On today show we are featuring the book of the month. In order to be considered for book of the month, a book has to meet a very simple criteria. Work must be impactful enough to change your life or your perspective on the world. Whether it does or not of course is up to you. You might consume the content, remark on how good it is, and continue your life as before. But if you do you’re missing the point. Our book this month is by two brothers who are both university professors on opposite sides of the country. Chip and Dan Heath are professors at Duke and Stanford University. They have written several books together and the book I’d like to showcase is called “Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die”. It examines why some ideas are highly memorable and others are completely forgettable. If you want your words to be remembered, and if there exists a formula for why some things are memorable, would you want to know that? For example, the sentence “ A bird in the hand, is worth two in the tree.” That sentence is nearly 1000 years old. Why is it that sentence has been repeated time and time again and has lasted nearly 1000 years? Of all the other sentences that have been uttered in the last thousand years this one has been repeated billions of times. Not only that, the same sentence also exists in multiple languages almost Word for Word. I’ll give you a simple example from modern day politics. I have no political affiliation in the US. I live in Canada. There’s lots going on in US politics on both sides of the aisle that I disagree with. If you go back to the last presidential election, Donald Trump’s slogan was “Make America Great Again “. Even democrats remember that slogan. But if you were to ask any American what Hilary Clinton’s slogan was, the vast majority have no idea. Even most democrats can’t remember Hillary Clinton’s slogan. Speaking in a way that is memorable is vitally important. Robert Kiyosaki is another person who has mastered the art of memorable communication. Rich Dad, Poor Dad. Savers are losers. Your house is not an asset. The central ideas of a book published 20 years ago are easy to remember and repeat. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. Hillary Clinton’s slogan was “I’m with her”. That’s right, “I’m with her”. The book's outline follows the acronym "SUCCES" (with the last s omitted). Each letter refers to a characteristic that can help make an idea "sticky": Simple – find the core of any idea Unexpected – grab people's attention by surprising them Concrete – make sure an idea can be grasped and remembered later Credible – give an idea believability Emotional – help people see the importance of an idea Stories – empower people to use an idea through narrative As scriptwriters have learned, curiosity is the intellectual need to answer questions and close patterns. Story tellers oppose this universal desire by doing the opposite, posing questions and opening situations. So, they key is to open gaps first in presenting your ideas, then work to close them; the tendency is to give facts first. The local news uses this technique very well: They might use a hook like Coming up after the break, Real estate expert Victor Menasce will be here to show you that if you can’t afford a house, you should buy two. That’s an example of a hook that has a surprise twist to it. The idea is simple. If you buy a duplex, you can use the income from renting the other half to subsidize your home ownership. If speaking in a memorable way matters to you, "Made to Stick" could change your life.

I'm not looking to find a deal, I'm looking to create a deal.” – Victor Menasce Victor Menasce is an Ottawa based developer who is active in multiple markets across North America, specializing in new construction of multi-family apartments. He walks his talk in the book he authored "Magnetic Capital: How to Raise All the Funds for ANY Worthy Project” and he is also the committed host of his daily podcast “Real Estate Espresso”. With a 25-year career in the technology industry as an electrical engineer and executive, Victor had a hectic life with business and travel until the day he decided he needed a change. Victor saw that opportunity within real estate and hasn't looked back. He is the Vice President of the Ottawa Real Estate Investors Organization and finds his centre in building businesses and spending time with his wife and family.    Show Notes [02:05] Patrick introduces his next guest, Victor Menasce. [04:14] Victor and Patrick get rolling on their second take of this conversation! [04:54] Victor offers his elevator pitch and how the two primary worlds he's lived in professionally blend into each other so well. [06:48] With his real estate developer hat on, Victor describes how he found himself on that winding path starting in Philadelphia, and the business approach they took to incrementally build on their experience and investments. [09:16] Victor explains where their developments are primarily located, why they chose the area and what his strategy is: buy on the line, move the line. [12:20] Patrick relates this strategy to a similar REIN fundamental, buying in areas of transition and watching the values increase over time. Victor takes it a step further to BE the catalyst for transition. [13:42] Describing a project success, Victor relates how they built in a geographic area they thought may be too far from “the line” but with income projections now exceeded it brings huge value improvements to the building, their cap rates and their clients' investment returns. [15:20] Supply, demand and affordability dictate a broader population moving from city centres like Vancouver and Manhattan out to more affordable hubs with greater lifestyle advantages. [16:52] Along with considering the economic fundamentals of an area, Victor provides an example of how they address the needs and the gaps of the end user to tailor their product, which ensures their longevity and success in the market. [20:15] A well-rounded project team helps to have a comprehensive understanding of the heartbeat of a marketplace and sets everyone up for success. [22:21] A craftsman, Victor's unique and successful approach lies not in finding a deal, but in creating a deal. Seeing a broad landscape of opportunity vs. a tight, single shot also diminishes the need for competition. [26:32] Victor describes five critical elements of attracting capital: develop relationships with investors, establish a track record, establish trust and transparency, offer a compelling opportunity and ensure there is ease and alignment between goals for the project and goals for the money – if it feels forced, don't do it. [29:05] With a successful career in the technology business already, what attracted Victor to the business of real estate? [31:46] Expanding on that, and aside from the money, what lights Victor up about real estate? This man likes a good challenge! [33:33] Victor starts his day first with how he wants to show up as a leader, so he can do what he needs to do and have what he wants to have in the realm of his life. [34:53] As part of a team in different operational centres, Victor talks about how they create a foundational culture to serve as a touchstone when things get off track and within that, stay connected. [38:02] Victor distinguishes the types of communication he has with investors based on their investing experience, their priorities with their investment funds and what they're counting on from...

Today's episode of The Real Estate Investing for Cash Flow Podcast features real estate investment expert and serial entrepreneur, Victor Menasce.
 Victor held senior roles at several firms in the high tech industry for 25 years before deciding to become full time with real estate 9 years ago. He has since touched on ground up RV communities, multi-family and residential developments, and much more. 
 Today he sheds light on a particularly unglamorous side of the business: rough patches and how he was able to weather them out to still achieve success. Quotes: "I wasted a lot of time and probably wasted a lot of money basically going back and entering that business from the bottom of the business as opposed to coming into that business from the top of the business." "One of the perspectives that I always take when it comes to real estate projects is to make sure that those projects have enough margin to be resilient."
 "The key in the success for any active business is the team."
 "You want to make sure that if there is strong demand that there is some kind of constraint on the supply side." "The number one mistake I see a lot if investors make is that they are starting projects that are too small and one of the consequences of that is that you can't afford the skills that you need to properly fill out your team."

Victor Menasce is a genius when it comes to the whole concept of capital and how to acquire it. Victor Menasce has raised several hundred million dollars for ventures, corporate buy-outs and real estate projects. As a fulltime real estate developer, he raises funds on a daily basis. Listen in as Victor teaches us a thing or two about magnetic capital!

  Real Estate Espresso podcast host Victor Menasce spent the first 25 years of his career in the high-tech industry. On his eighteenth trip to Tokyo in a year and a half, Victor realized he was on the wrong path. He felt the way he was working wasn’t right for him nor his family, so he made the conscious decision to move full-time into the world of real estate investment. Victor stops by to share his knowledge about investing in the US from his home in Canada. — Listen to the podcast here: From Silicon Valley To Real Estate With Private Money with Victor Menasce I am thrilled to have on this episode, Mr. http://www.victorjm.com/ (Victor Menasce). Welcome to the show. It's great to be here. Victor and I met back in the summer of 2018 at a podcast conference. I remember we were in a group in a room talking and nobody seemed to have a real estate podcast. Victor said, “I’ve got a real estate podcast.” I interrupted the lady speaking with us, “Excuse me, I need to go speak with this man.” Here we are, you’re on the show. Thanks for coming on and you have an interesting background for when you started off in the tech field but then like many people, either you grew tired of it or you decided to come over into real estate and here you are now. You’re a developer, you utilize private money. You have a real estate podcast, http://www.victorjm.com/podcast/ (The Real Estate Espresso). Let’s try to unpack a little bit about that. Tell us a little bit about your journey on how you got to where you are now. If I go back to 2009, 2010, I was still working in the tech industry. I was managing a microprocessor development team and we’re basically designing chips that we used in mobile phones and data cards. We’re building a new cellular network in Japan and I was literally traveling back and forth to Tokyo every two weeks and it was burning me out. It wasn’t the right thing for me. It wasn’t the right thing for my family. I resigned my position as VP of engineering and decided to take a hard left turn in my career into the world of real estate investing on a full-time basis. If you remember what was happening back then, it was probably the opportunity of a lifetime to invest in real estate, particularly in the United States. I took advantage of that opportunity and decided to jump in with both feet. That’s where I got my start on the journey. One of the things that I discovered along the way is I had a bunch of skills that were pretty portable. Project management is a very portable skill. It doesn’t matter whether you’re managing software development or microprocessor development or new construction, it’s all the same. The other key skill was the ability to raise capital and I learned how to raise money in the tech industry. It’s much more difficult to go raise $5 million for an idea than it is to raise money for something that’s going to cashflow in six months. Those are vastly different and I was able to transport that skill set over into the world of real estate as well. If you don't ask, you're not going to get it.https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=http://privatelenderpodcast.com/plp-054/&text=If%20you%20don%27t%20ask%2C%20you%27re%20not%20going%20to%20get%20it.&related (Click To Tweet) Going to Tokyo every two weeks, how long of a flight was that? In the summertime, it was a direct flight from Toronto, thirteen hours into Narita Airport. It was pretty good. In the winter time, I had to fly through Vancouver. That added another five-and-a-half-hour flight as an appetizer to the big flight. I can see why you get burned out at that real quick. You’re in Canada, in fact. Yes. I live in Ottawa, Canada and I'm halfway between Montreal and Toronto, almost due north of New York City. Even though it’s Central Canada, we still refer to it as East Coast but it is somewhat Central Canada.

#172: Your market choice is more important than your property choice. One of the most prominent real estate developers in the United States, Victor Menasce, tells us how he selects a real estate market. Investing in larger metro areas is generally safer than investing in smaller metro areas because geographies are better diversified. Being invested in only one investment market is a mistake. You’re undiversified. Should you pay more or less than the construction cost of a property? Victor tells us the difference between price and value, and why that matters to you. Four factors drive price/value: 1) Construction cost. 2) Availability of money. 3) Inflation. 4) Supply and Demand. Victor is an expert at selecting markets, developing, and raising capital for deals.

Raising Money to Reach New Career Heights   Victor Menasce (pronounced Menash) is a serial entrepreneur and author of two books on investing. His most recent book is Magnetic Capital: How to Raise All the Funds for ANY Worthy Venture. He started his career as an engineer designing microprocessors. Victor has held senior roles in technology companies, and now is developing real estate in multiple markets.     Victor is an expert at raising capital. He's raised over $300 million in his career so far and had raised a lot of money but never really considered that to be a super-power. One day, a securities attorney was listening to his presentation in a mastermind in San Diego. They observed that Victor's unique expertise was raising funds. Everything else should be delegated. Along the way, Victor realized that raising money was easy at times and very difficult at other times. He eventually figured out the formula, and that became the genesis of Magnetic Capital.       Questions You'll Hear Today:   You've run several businesses. Give us some of your backstory. In particular, what were some of the ingredients that determined the difference between success or failure? Along the way, you developed the skill of raising money. I know a lot of people are uncomfortable asking for money. It almost feels like begging. How did you overcome that?  What are your thoughts on the different kinds of startups, venture funded, angel funded, versus boot-strapped?  Many of our listeners are young entrepreneurs. What are your thoughts on hiring older workers who may not respect a young leader? I hear that you're writing another book on entrepreneurship.

You can get in touch with the host Victor Menasce at victorjm.com. In today's episode we're talking about changes to the zoning code and what can happen even if that change looks really promising.

Victor Menasce started out in the telecom space creating microprocessors and data cards. If you have made a phone call from 1991- 2011, chances are you've used a processor created by Victor. He started to realize he had built the skill sets from his experience in mergers, acquisitions and capital funding. He utilized this and took a step into real estate investing. Victor takes a business approach to everything he does and states that every strategy needs to follow the law of supply and demand. His first transition into real estate was providing executive suite type properties on a medium term basis. Victor lives in Ottawa, Canada where there is alot of Parliamentary and Embassy staff the had a need for higher end housing without getting locked into a year long lease. Victor's first step into real estate was to fill this need. Menasce kept this creative mindset thriving and wound up purchasing a Minor League Baseball Stadium for $950,000. This Stadium had a cell tower that they wound up selling for $750,000. From there, Victor and his team took a very creative approach on handling this asset.

Most of us feel uncomfortable asking people for money, yet as apartment building investors we must raise capital to operate a successful business. Today's guest argues that he doesn't ask people for money, but offers opportunities to collaborate on projects that are a good fit for individual investors. Victor Menasce is managing partner of US Real Estate Partners LP and author of the book Magnetic Capital: How to Raise All the Money You Need for ANY Worthy Venture. He spent the first 25 years of his career in high tech, achieving success as a microprocessor designer. But the frequent travel was a strain, and Victor realized that the days of building wealth in that industry were over. In search of a career that would have a meaningful impact, in an industry known for creating wealth, he started investing in real estate as a side hustle. His first projects involved medium-term executive rentals for parliamentary and embassy staff in Ottawa as well as local rent-to-own transactions. Victor then expanded to US markets and transitioned to real estate full-time. His current specialty involves building new apartments in an infill urban setting across multiple domestic and international markets. Leveraging the skills around raising capital he developed in the tech industry, Victor has become an expert in helping investors divert their money from high-risk equity markets into safe multi-family real estate assets. Today Victor details the five key elements of raising capital and explains why some people repel the very money they're trying to raise. Listen and learn from a developer who has raised more than $300 million in his nine-year real estate career!

Donald Trump. There's no doubt he's a polarizing figure. You either love or hate him, but what people couldn't deny was his incredible knack for making big money business deals on the way to creating a personal net worth in the billions. Today, he has a more important job in leading the free world. However, our guest today has known Trump years before he won the 2016 Presidential Election. George H. Ross has been a longtime advisor of The Donald ever since Trump made his first real estate transaction at 27 years old. Ross is a former New York real estate lawyer who also appeared on Trump's highly success television show, The Apprentice and now is busy sharing his wisdom with the next generation of entrepreneurs. In this fascinating interview along with George's friend, Victor Menasce, you'll learn... What Donald Trump's best business trait is (it's not what you think!) The importance of being a great listener and analyzing the deeper meaning of your prospect's words Why the most important person in your organization is the one who gets on the phone first To find out more about the monthly mastermind call George & Victor are a part of, check out - https://www.thebusinessofthoughtleadership.com
