Donna Adelson, accused of orchestrating the 2014 murder-for-hire of Florida State University law professor Dan Markel, appeared in court with her new defense team after her trial was delayed by conflict-of-interest issues. The appearance marked her first since a September postponement of the high-profile case. Accompanied by her new attorneys, former Circuit Judge Jackie Fulford and Tallahassee lawyer Josh Zelman, Adelson appeared before Leon Circuit Judge Stephen Everett. Both attorneys assured the court there were no conflicts of interest in their representation. Adelson's previous legal team had been disqualified due to conflicts involving her son Charlie Adelson, who is serving a life sentence for organizing the murder. Fulford and Zelman took over the case in October and have begun addressing the substantial legal hurdles that come with such a transition. Fulford, drawing on her experience as a circuit judge and interim state attorney, expressed confidence in their ability to prepare for the trial despite limited access to discovery materials. “The state attorney's office has agreed to provide us with electronic copies of all deposition transcripts,” Zelman noted. Adelson, who appeared in a purple jail jumpsuit and spoke only to her attorneys, faces charges of first-degree murder, conspiracy, and solicitation. Prosecutors allege she hired hitmen through her son Charlie Adelson to kill Dan Markel during a contentious custody dispute involving her grandchildren. During the hearing, Fulford proposed a trial window between June 16 and July 2, noting that all parties involved, including witnesses, could be available during that time. Judge Everett emphasized the importance of setting a firm trial date, citing the logistical complexities of moving prisoners and ensuring the presence of witnesses. “When that trial date is set, it is going to be firm,” he stated. The court set the next case management conference for February 11, when discovery is expected to be completed and deadlines for trial preparation finalized. Local attorney Don Pumphrey commented on the challenges of picking up a case at this stage, likening it to “painting in the blind.” However, he acknowledged the strengths of the new legal team, describing Fulford as a “strategist” and a strong choice for the defense. The case remains one of significant public interest, with Adelson being one of five individuals arrested in connection with Markel's murder. Her son Charlie Adelson and three others are already serving prison sentences, leaving her as the final defendant to face trial. Judge Everett also addressed any potential conflicts arising from Fulford's prior judicial role presiding over Markel probate matters. After reviewing the matter, he found no issues that would interfere with her representation. The court's focus now shifts to ensuring all materials are handed over and preparations are completed in time for the June trial window, bringing the case closer to resolution after a decade of legal battles and public scrutiny. #DonnaAdelson #DanMarkel #Tallahassee #TrueCrime #MurderTrial Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

It was the brainchild of Aaron Zelman (1946 - 2010), a leading national civil-rights activist.JPFO is a non-profit tax-exempt 501(c)(3) educational civil-rights organization, not a lobby.

The housing market is stuck. Stubborn homeowners with low rates refuse to move, even as demand starts to pick back up. Homebuilders are driving ahead with more new construction homes, but is it too late to deliver the supply we so desperately needed only a year or two ago? Where is the housing market moving next, and how long will we be stuck in this standoff? Ivy Zelman from Zelman & Associates successfully predicted the last housing crash, so what does she have to say about today's market? Ivy is a thought leader in the real estate research space. Her credibility has been showcased repeatedly as her team accurately forecasts numerous housing market moves. Constantly on the phone with institutional buyers and builders, Ivy tends to know what's happening before even the top forecasters. In this episode, Ivy gives her opinion on today's housing market, why buyers and sellers are “stuck,” and whether or not the “underbuilding” problem is even an issue as demographic trends start getting dangerous. She also shares which real estate markets are in the most danger, the concerning catastrophe facing many southern states, and the markets she's most bullish on that could withstand the test of time. But, more importantly, Ivy shares her thoughts on whether or not real estate is still worth investing in and why it may be time for landlords to diversify into other assets that don't come with such a considerable risk. In This Episode We Cover The single greatest danger affecting the housing market in 2023 The new vs. existing home challenge and why homeowners are stuck in place Affordable housing and why the “underbuilding problem” isn't what you think it is “Tremendous” competition for rentals and which investors should be concerned Underrated housing markets that are seeing strong demand and demographic tailwinds 2008 vs. 2023 and whether another housing crash is even feasible in today's market And So Much More!

“I was particularly interested in writing comedy,” says Paul Lieberstein, who is best known for playing Toby on The Office, but has writing credits for King of the Hill, The Drew Carey Show, Ghosted, Space Force, and now, Lucky Hank. “Some Woody Allen short stories and Steve Martin albums. In my twenties, I learned there was a whole industry there, and you can do that, because I had never met anyone who had done that.” Aaron Zelman, the co-creator of Lucky Hank, also realized he enjoyed writing at an early age, even though he didn't feel he was particularly good at it back then. “It dovetailed with my interest in theater, acting, and improv. The more I did it, the more I wanted to be the one creating what I was doing.” Zelman's additional writing credits include Law & Order, Criminal Minds, Damages, and The Killing.  Together, they have adapted Richard Russo's 1997 novel, Straight Man. The novel can be described as follows: “William Henry Devereaux, Jr., is the reluctant chairman of the English department of a badly underfunded college in the Pennsylvania rust belt. Devereaux's reluctance is partly rooted in his character—he is a born anarchist—and partly in the fact that his department is more savagely divided than the Balkans.” The writers say the book is hilarious, but also very serious. “There are some darker, underlying currents of what defines the character of Hank and we didn't want to shy away from that.” Lieberstein says, “Something we had to talk about a lot was the storytelling demands of the hour, like how little could we do. We just wanted to do people that are living, without soap stuff, or overarching concepts. We were stretching the boundaries of how little we could do, knowing we had an obligation to keep people interested.”  To find this balance, the writers say they rewrote every single episode about four times. “The thing that we kept coming back to, doing as little as possible, we didn't want to implode bigger concepts. We didn't want to throw in a murder. It was a challenge to keep the audience entertained without doing that stuff, but in my life, things feel pretty damn dramatic without a murder to solve. We wanted to have an audience go on that ride too.” To encompass all of this in one idea, the writers came up with the story driver: “The high drama of everyday life.” Want more?

Does the Constitution require our government to fund religion? In a landmark ruling, the Supreme Court says, for the first time, that if a state has a program that includes funding for private schools it must also provide funding for religious schools. In this episode, Amanda and Holly examine the Carson v. Makin decision, which shows how the Supreme Court is shifting further and further away from the Establishment Clause's protections of religious liberty for all. They explore the Court's “bait and switch” to make this radical shift seem not so bad, and they look at all of the reasons the Framers thought it was smart to avoid government funding of religion. In segment three, Amanda and Holly review the latest misleading headlines that conflate “religious liberty” with a promotion of free exercise rights at the expense of Establishment Clause protections.    SHOW NOTES Segment 1: A radical shift in religious liberty law (starting at 03:50) You can contact Amanda and Holly with your thoughts on the show by writing to RespectingReligion@BJConline.org. Amanda Tweeted her reaction to the Dobbs decision on Friday, June 24. You can see her Tweet thread here.  Holly and Amanda recorded this episode before the Court released its opinion in the Kennedy v. Bremerton case on June 27, 2022. They will analyze that case in the next episode of Respecting Religion. Access BJC's resources on Carson v. Makin at BJConline.org/CarsonvMakin, including the brief we joined, Holly's article for our winter magazine, and our statement on decision day.  Read the Supreme Court decision in Carson v. Makin at this link. We mentioned the two recent cases that led to this case: Trinity Lutheran v. Comer: BJConline.org/TrinityLutheran Espinoza v. Montana Department of Revenue: BJConline.org/Espinoza   Segment 2: Where's the Establishment Clause?  (starting at 19:18) Holly and Amanda mentioned these cases when discussing how the Court abandoned the “play in the joints” principle in religious freedom law and the impact of this case in state funding of religious schools:  Locke v. Davey (2004) Zelman v. Simmons-Harris (2002) Amanda quoted from the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, written by Thomas Jefferson. Holly quoted from Memorial and Remonstrance against Religious Assessments, written by James Madison.   Segment #3: More misleading headlines (starting at 33:02) Amanda and Holly discussed this New York Times newsletter written by Ian Prasad Philbrick: A Pro-Religion Court. It also links to a piece by Adam Liptak with some misleading shorthand, titled Supreme Court Rejects Maine's Ban on Aid to Religious Schools.

Comer about using public money for playground equipment in 2017The “unremarkable” principles applied in Trinity Lutheran and Espinoza suffice to resolve this case. Maine offers its citizens a benefit: tuition assistance payments for any family whose school district does not provide a public secondary school. Just like the wide range of nonprofit organizations eligible to receive playground resurfacing grants in Trinity Lutheran, a wide range of private schools are eligible to receive Maine tuition assistance payments here. And like the daycare center in Trinity Lutheran, BCS and Temple Academy are disqualified from this generally available benefit “solely because of their religious character.” 582 U. S., at ___ (slip op., at 10). By “condition[ing] the availability of benefits” in that manner, Maine's tuition assistance program—like the program in Trinity Lutheran—“effectively penalizes the free exercise” of religion. Ibid. (quoting McDaniel, 435 U. S., at 626 (plurality opinion)).BREYER: The First Amendment begins by forbidding the government from “mak[ing] [any] law respecting an establishment of religion.” It next forbids them to make any law “prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” The Court today pays almost no attention to the words in the first Clause while giving almost exclusive attention to the words in the second. In a word, to interpret the two Clauses as if they were joined at the hip will work against their basic purpose: to allow for an American society with practitioners of over 100 different religions, and those who do not practice religion at all, to live together without serious risk of religion-based social divisions. We have previously found, as the majority points out, that “a neutral benefit program in which public funds flow to religious organizations through the independent choices of private benefit recipients does not offend the Establishment Clause.” Ante, at 10 (citing Zelman, 536 U. S., at 652– 653). We have thus concluded that a State may, consistent with the Establishment Clause, provide funding to religious schools through a general public funding program if the “government aid . . . reach[es] religious institutions only by way of the deliberate choices of . . . individual [aid] recipients.” Id., at 652. But the key word is “may.” We have never previously held what the Court holds today, namely, that a State must (not may) use state funds to pay for religious education as part of a tuition program designed to ensure the provision of free statewide public school education. What happens once “may” becomes “must”? Does that transformation mean that a school district that pays for public schools must pay equivalent funds to parents who wish to send their children to religious schools? Does it mean that school districts that give vouchers for use at charter schools must pay equivalent funds to parents who wish to give their children a religious education? What other social benefits are there the State's provision of which means—under the majority's interpretation of the Free Exercise Clause—that the State must pay parents for the religious equivalent of the secular benefit provided?

Comer about using public money for playground equipment in 2017The “unremarkable” principles applied in Trinity Lutheran and Espinoza suffice to resolve this case. Maine offers its citizens a benefit: tuition assistance payments for any family whose school district does not provide a public secondary school. Just like the wide range of nonprofit organizations eligible to receive playground resurfacing grants in Trinity Lutheran, a wide range of private schools are eligible to receive Maine tuition assistance payments here. And like the daycare center in Trinity Lutheran, BCS and Temple Academy are disqualified from this generally available benefit “solely because of their religious character.” 582 U. S., at ___ (slip op., at 10). By “condition[ing] the availability of benefits” in that manner, Maine's tuition assistance program—like the program in Trinity Lutheran—“effectively penalizes the free exercise” of religion. Ibid. (quoting McDaniel, 435 U. S., at 626 (plurality opinion)).BREYER: The First Amendment begins by forbidding the government from “mak[ing] [any] law respecting an establishment of religion.” It next forbids them to make any law “prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” The Court today pays almost no attention to the words in the first Clause while giving almost exclusive attention to the words in the second. In a word, to interpret the two Clauses as if they were joined at the hip will work against their basic purpose: to allow for an American society with practitioners of over 100 different religions, and those who do not practice religion at all, to live together without serious risk of religion-based social divisions. We have previously found, as the majority points out, that “a neutral benefit program in which public funds flow to religious organizations through the independent choices of private benefit recipients does not offend the Establishment Clause.” Ante, at 10 (citing Zelman, 536 U. S., at 652– 653). We have thus concluded that a State may, consistent with the Establishment Clause, provide funding to religious schools through a general public funding program if the “government aid . . . reach[es] religious institutions only by way of the deliberate choices of . . . individual [aid] recipients.” Id., at 652. But the key word is “may.” We have never previously held what the Court holds today, namely, that a State must (not may) use state funds to pay for religious education as part of a tuition program designed to ensure the provision of free statewide public school education. What happens once “may” becomes “must”? Does that transformation mean that a school district that pays for public schools must pay equivalent funds to parents who wish to send their children to religious schools? Does it mean that school districts that give vouchers for use at charter schools must pay equivalent funds to parents who wish to give their children a religious education? What other social benefits are there the State's provision of which means—under the majority's interpretation of the Free Exercise Clause—that the State must pay parents for the religious equivalent of the secular benefit provided?

In this episode, realtor Anthony Luevanos and lender Angel Luevanos explain whether a looming housing market crash is coming. We recommend watching this podcast on youtube so you can see the charts for yourself.Will a recession mean a housing market crash?No, a recession does not always lead to a housing market crash. In fact, of the last six recessions we had, only twice did home prices drop! Here's the data for home price change:1980 - 6.1% increase1981 - 3.5% increase1991 - 1.9% decrease2001 - 6.6% increase2008 - 19.7% decrease 2020 - 6% increaseAre we heading into a buyer's market? Some housing market experts like to compare our current market conditions to the 2008 housing crash. But we simply have a much different market. And in Los Angeles County, the market is even tighter, with 1.5 months of supply of existing homes for sale. That means it would just take 1.5 months for all the houses in the market to be sold if there were no more homes listed. We are talking about 5-6 months in a balanced market, so it's evident we just have way too much demand, given the current supply of homes for sale.Are we in a housing bubble?Here's what we know. Since the 2008 market crash:- Lending standards have tightened drastically, and borrowers' risk has been cut in half- The market is currently undersupplied by 5-6 million homes rather than oversupplied- Most homeowners are more cautious with their equity and have much more of it- In addition, experts predict home prices to continue to appreciate this year in the face of rising interest rates.Are we going to see a wave of foreclosures? We saw less than half the foreclosures in 2020 and 2021 than in any year from 2017 to 2019. And any foreclosures that do hit the market will likely have little impact. Here's why:- Most homeowners have enough equity to sell their homes. ATTOM Data Services also reveals that 41.9% of all mortgaged homes have at least 50% equity. - There are have a lot fewer foreclosures over the past two years.- The current market will absorb any new listings with the lack of supply.Will home prices go down? Across the board, home prices are expected to appreciate.

That guy ought to be kissing your behind at the closing table to get... because one of the things about an assumption is the replacement reserves. So if this guy has been on the property for the last three to five years, and he's been banking the replacement reserves, you know, instead of using it to build up his collateral and protect the collateral, he's been banking it now he's got $100,000 in the replacement reserves.    Intro  00:31 Welcome to the How to Scale Commercial Real Estate Show. Whether you are an active or passive investor, we'll teach you how to scale your real estate investing business into something big.     Sam Wilson  00:39 Charles Dobens is the multifamilyattorney.com, the founder of the Multifamily Investing Academy and the creator of MultifamilyOS program for entrepreneurs looking to build a successful multifamily real estate investing business. Charles, welcome to the show.   Charles Dobens  00:56 Hey, thanks for having me, man. First of all, is that a real background? Or is that one of those virtual ones? I love it. You see, when I'm in my studio, I've got the real thing too. And I go back and I grab those books off the back, because, you know, and I hold them up. So yeah, that's cool. I like it. I like it.   Sam Wilson  01:11 Thanks, man. You know, what it does, though, is that on days like today, where I walk in the office, and I set stuff on the shelf behind me? ... you don't have stacks of papers... you just reminded me that I got garbage on my shelf. Thanks for that.    Charles Dobens  01:26 Yeah, I have.... Part of my program for my students is, you know, they get a virtual assistant. And so we do a virtual assistant meet up every Monday morning just to touch base with all my VA's. And, you know, I look at their backgrounds, I think, wow, those guys live larger than I do. They have beautiful places behind them like no, they don't. But they don't...   Sam Wilson  01:44 Charles, there's three questions. I asked every guest who comes on the show: Where did you start? Where are you now? How did you get there? But tell me in less than 90 seconds.   01:52 Okay. Where did I start? Physically, geographically, I'm out here in the Boston area. Always wanted to own multifamily property, was running an insurance company, had about 35 employees, gonna put me in an early grave, hated it told my wife, I can't do this anymore. What do you want to do? I want to own apartments, went out there and started owning apartments, did incredibly well. Market crashed, kept some loss aome. That's when I started practicing law. I was a lawyer beforehand. But I was representing clients of mine, friends of mine, who are losing their property. And I realized, man, why did you buy this property in the first place? This property you'd never should have acquired because it's a dog. And then I thought, I realized that man, these people are being taught the wrong way to run multifamily, own and operate multifamily. And that's when I started coaching and mentoring. And I got to tell you, I own plenty of properties. I don't need to work. But this is my calling. I love helping people in this field with my law practice, with consulting, and I just got off the phone with one of my clients working on a deal. We're going to make an offer on a property today. I am just always involved in all my students' deals, making sure they do everything right every step of the way. And I want to buy 1000 properties for my students, meaning I want it or not 1000 units. I did that a long time ago. I want to do 1000 properties for my students over the next 10 years. And that is my goal. That's what gets me up in the morning and makes me run.   Sam Wilson  03:17 That is awesome. I love it. 1000 properties without, you know, what is that eight per month, eight and a half?   Charles Dobens  03:23 Yeah, and but the thing is, I started I've been doing this for 10 years, so I kind of a little head start on the 1000 goal. So, but you know, when I'm 82. When I hit 82 10 years from now, Sam, I want it to be, I'll be out 1000.   Sam Wilson  03:37 That's awesome. I love it.   Charles Dobens  03:39 If you do the math there, pal. 10 years from now I'm gonna be 82 that means I'm 72 today, right?   Sam Wilson  03:44 I'm with you. I'm not gonna make any comments.   Charles Dobens 03:47 I know, but what? You can't tell me I look good for 72? I mean, you should be saying... You know, what you're telling me now by not saying anything, is like... 72, yeah.   Sam Wilson  03:56 Yeah, ridden hard and put away wet, Charles. That's what I'm thinking, buddy.   Charles Dobens  03:59 That is such a Nashville expression foul.   Sam Wilson  04:03 Hey, man, I'm here in the south. And I'm in Tennessee. Tell me about this. In '08, you owned apartments. You kept some, you lost some. What happened?   Charles Dobens  04:11 Yikes. So that was how you got caught because you were able to make your debt payments all the way up until you couldn't refinance out of shorter-term debt.   Charles Dobens  04:11 Man, the market crashed. You know, the thing is we bought them all the right way. At that time. You know, it was the height of the market. We never, never missed a payment on anything in all the time that we own the property. But the cap rates were compressed to begin with. And then when the market turned when Fannie and Freddie filed bankruptcy and the world collapsed, the cap rates started to inch back up and it's back up. And that's when we, you know, when the terms were done on some of these properties, we couldn't refinance, you know, we'd have to go back and raise more money just to refinance it, and we just, you know, non-recourse loans, which is the only way to go. We just dropped them on the bank's desk and, you know, shook hands and partner friends and you know, fortunately that's one of the nice things about multifamily investing is you know, all these other single-family homes owners were losing their shirts. It's a business. And we just moved on to the next deal, so...   Charles Dobens  05:14 Right. And so, you know, that's what's going on. Now, you're looking at some of these cap rates and the compression of these cap rates and they can't compress anymore. Now we're starting to see inflation, interest rates go up, you know, and people's investment strategies right now, is only hoping the market continues to do what it's been doing for the last 10 years. And that's not going to you know, as Paul Moore says, trees don't grow to the sky. At some point, there's going to be an adjustment, and these people are going to get caught the same way I was.   Sam Wilson  05:46 Is there any type of financing that you're afraid of right now?   Charles Dobens  05:49 Oh, well, you know, you see these interest only's. And when there's no amortization, okay, that's fine. But you're seeing the interest rates starting to creep up. It's really not any type of financing. It's just not underwriting conservatively enough, not stressing your underwriting, such that your deal is going to survive if cap rates start to release and when interest rates start to go up. If your deal can't survive, that you might want to just sit back and wait.   Sam Wilson  06:17 What are you on an exit cap? What are you having people plug in as a general number right now?   Charles Dobens  06:24 Well, general number is about 10 basis points per year. So you know, if it's if you're going to hold it for five years, looking at least half a percent higher cap rate, that's a textbook, that's like just right out of the gate textbook. But what you have to think about is interest rates are going up. We already know that. Now, I see some of these gurus out saying no, that's okay. You know, you're locked in at this particular interest rate. It's not you that's going to have the problem. It's the person you have to sell the property to, right, that is the problem. And that problem is going to become yours. If they can't purchase that property at the valuation that you created your exit strategy at, you're going to lose. And you know, I tell you, I was, I don't know if you know Corneilous Cannon. And he has this event called the shark pool. And I'm one of the sharks where I evaluate other people's deals. These guys get on there and start talking about their portfolio and they're talking about this new deal coming up. And they see Yeah, we have a property in Lexington, Kentucky, blah blah, and I'm looking at on the screen. I'm looking at the properties. Wait a minute, what's that property right there? Oh, yeah, that's a property in Lexington. I said, Oh, and then the guy goes out and say, Well, yeah, we've really stressed it. But we don't feel as though interest rates will climb so much. That'll really devastate the property. We still think everything's gonna be fine. And I said, I just felt like the old guy. Okay, let me tell you a story. I said, back in 2008, a month before Fannie and Freddie went bankrupt. I purchased a 222-unit apartment complex in Lexington, Kentucky. And right away, Sam, you can see the both of their eyes, like bugged out, because they knew I'm talking about their property. I said, and they said to you buy Preakness, I said, I own that property right before it crashed. Nobody saw anything coming. I had to give that property back to the bank. And as I'm on the call the shark pool with them, I'm pulling up the costar report. And you can clearly see, I bought it for seven and a half million, gave it back to the bank, they sold it to somebody for 3 million a year later, that guy sold it to these guys like three years later for 7 million. So that guy between me and them walked away with 4 million bucks in the bank because he was patient, and he waited. And sometimes, you know, I look at that deal of like I lost my shirt on that deal. And this guy made 4 million bucks. It's crazy.   Sam Wilson  08:43 What were those buyers other than paying 7 million bucks for, what are the things that did not take into account besides rising interest rates?   Charles Dobens  08:52 Oh, wait, those people, the people that were on the shark pool? Well, oh, I don't know, when they bought it for the 7 million they could have bought it... If they bought it three years ago, four years ago, bravo. They're gonna make a killing on that property, good for them. But you know, if they bought it last week, they might have been paying top dollar for it and interest rates are on the climb. And you know, Lexington, Lexington is a good market, but it's, you know, a secondary, tertiary market. And so we got to sit back and wait, I hope they have a long... what you have to do. Okay, so getting back to your question about what the problem with loans today, the only thing that I would be very leery about whenever I'm looking at getting into any type of financing today is you need a longer-term than usual. Don't bring me a three or five-year deal. I'm not interested. You know, not only that, but some of the investors that I work with aren't interested either because they're looking for places to park their money right now to take advantage of what's going to happen with inflation.   Sam Wilson  09:45 Right. And I guess that would eliminate you, you know, from the ever very popular bridge debt that people are using right now.   Charles Dobens  09:52 Yeah, you know, but that's okay. Bridge debts. Okay. If it's a true value add if you're just trying to do bridge debt just to get into the deal. No, no, no, no, that's not the way to do this. I mean, if you have to do an interest-only just to make your numbers work, and then you're going to, you know, convert in three years or so none No, no, don't do that you're overpaying for the property. I know you can fix anything on a multifamily deal except overpaying for the property. So just don't do it. You're better off walking away, waiting a couple of years and picking up that type of property on when somebody else loses their shirt on it.   Sam Wilson  10:24 Yeah, which may yet happen other than putting in a 10 basis points a year what you said is just a bare minimum as an increase in the exit cap rate. What other things are you guys underwriting? What things are you doing? You feel like you're unique that your underwriting, they're kind of keeping you guys out of potential hot water?   Charles Dobens  10:40 You know, one of the things is being a lot more conservative on the rental increases, I'm going to sticking around to 3% is going to be the top number. You know, and if you listened, I did a podcast with Ivy Zelman. The woman is brilliant. She saw the 2008 crash coming. I had her on my podcast, I said it you know, this is different than 2000. And we're not going to have the same problems we had back in 2008. And I said it's you know, we have much more sound underwriting, the demand for our product is so high. And then she just kind of laid me flat which says we are already overbuilt. And I said I'd be Wait, what Whoa. I mean, I've got a waiting lists. You look at all these properties, 100% occupancy. This is a note we are already overbuilt. If you go look at all the starts that are on paper that are supposed to happen in the next three years. It exceeds demand. And we are already overbuilt. And like wow, okay. That's interesting. And yeah, so she kind of like laid me flat with some of the statistics that she had Zelman associates.com. And, yeah, it just hurt what she said made me open up my eyes. And one thing that she said, Sam, that just as a.... she says, all of these homes, there's high demand for homes where you know, you're bidding way over price. The reason why this is happening is many of these home purchases are not first home buyers, or first homeowners, meaning these are their second homes, and sometimes their third homes. And so these people are buying homes now, they own three homes, and I own three homes sitting there listening to tell me the story. And I'm thinking to myself, Wow, and when the market changes, when interest rates go up, when things started to tighten up, you're gonna see people starting to dump those second and third homes to protect themselves. And that's when it's going to come really home to roost.   Sam Wilson  12:23 Right? Yeah. When the market gets flooded with inventory. Yeah, back to the old days, supply and demand, it's gonna hurt us all. So absolutely. Tell me about a time or money mistake you've made? Or maybe it cost you both time and money.   Charles Dobens  12:38 Okay, let me see. So many of them. But you know, one thing that I found out the hard way early on in my multifamily world, was how assumptions work. If you buy a property on an assumption, you're doing that seller a huge favor, that guy ought to be kissing your behind at the closing table to get... because one of the things about an assumption is the replacement reserves. So if this guy has been on the property for last three to five years, and he's been banking the replacement reserves, you know, instead of using it to build up his collateral and protect the collateral, he's been banking it, now he's got $100,000 in the replacement reserves. Do you know what happens that money at the closing table?   Sam Wilson  13:26 Becomes his.    Charles Dobens  13:27 It's his. And you know, what you have to do?    Sam Wilson  13:29 Put in the replacement reserves.   Charles Dobens  13:31 That just... if you were doing a new money purchase, would you have to do that? No, you wouldn't have to come up with another $100,000. On day one, just because this guy didn't spend a dime on his property for the last five years. That's crazy. So I make sure now in all my letters of intent, that one of the things if it's an assumption is the seller has to spend that reserve down to zero or transferred to me at closing. That's the number one thing. And the other thing too is. The problem with assumptions is when you're negotiating an assumption, there's always a third party at the negotiating table. And sometimes that third party is silent, right up until the closing date. So on one assumption that I did I negotiated was 12% down. All I had to come up with was 12%. And that, what a great negotiator, I am looking at me go. And my returns were phenomenal. Two weeks before closing, the bank comes back and says, Hey, we noticed that you're putting only 12% down, that's not going to work for us. You need to put more skin in the game, you need to put down 20%. And I was like, Well, how can I do that? I've got a contract. I've got a purchase price. You've got a fixed mortgage amount. The difference is only 12%. Where do you expect me to put this 8%? They said, great question. You know what we are, we're a bank. And you're going to put it with us. And you are let it sit there and it's just going to sit there you can't spend on the property. We just want that there. And so I had to come up with an additional eight percent two weeks before the closing, I lose my earnest money. And that was, you know, had I known, if I had to do the assumption, if I didn't have to do the assumption, everything would have been fine. But because I had to do the assumption, I had to come up with that extra money that just sat in a bank account, I mean, it just killed the cash on cash return, because it's additional money in with no return on it. And it was a terrible deal. And the other thing, too, is, you know, so now I have a provision to protect myself in my off LOIs, that state, if the bank changes any of the economic terms, I get to walk, right, here's the thing about this, Sam, is that you go back and you read any contract with a bank, any mortgage, and any note, it clearly states the deal will be is assumable with no change in the economic terms, it says that right there. But you know who the third party is at the table? It's a bank and banks change contracts every time, anytime they want. So that's something that I found out very early on, and that cost me a lot of money. It killed the deal for me. Yeah. So that lay on top of that. Oh, here's another one. Let me give you another one. Same deal. And because this assumption went on for five months, the bank just dragged their feet. It was Wachovia. Okay, do you remember the nickname from Wachovia? No, walk all over? You walk all over you? Yeah, right. That's why they're no longer in business. So it took them forever. But here's the mistake I made early on in a contract is that I was only allowed to inspect the property in the first 30 days. After that, I'm done. I can't inspect it anymore. So for the next four months, whatever happened on that property, I couldn't go on and see it. So now my contract, say, Hey, I got to see it right up until the end, right after the closing date, I can get in there. And so we kept getting from him certified rent rolls, showing that the property was 96% occupied right up until the closing date. 30 days later, I'm calling up my property management company screaming saying, Hey, guys, you gotta go knock on doors, you've only collected 50%of  the rents this month, I need more. He goes, Charlie, there's no money left to collect from I said, No, there was 96% occupancy when we took over Charlie, I've never seen a case of fraud so badly in my life. And I said, Wait a minute, you can't just throw out the term fraud, you got to give me some evidence. He said, Charlie, I found the evidence for you. And they faxed me over eight leases. And these eight leases, you could tell that the previous property management company had taken these leases and just photocopied them, because the same white out was in the same place on all eight, and three of the eight, they forgot to change the name of the property for my property. And it was the name of a property that the owner owned down the street. So that was a perfect example of phantom leases. The property never recovered. That was a disaster. So yeah, thanks for bringing that back up. Sam, I really appreciate you making me walk down that memory lane, buddy.   Sam Wilson  18:00 You know, but those are the things that I think there was a value in having a mentor having a coach having someone looking over your shoulder doing this. I don't know how many hundreds of 1000s or millions that may have cost you. But it's that one mistake that I think that's all you need when you bring somebody like yourself on board to say, Hey, buddy, don't do that.   Charles Dobens  18:20 Yeah, absolutely. As Bill Gates: success is a lousy teacher. And if I'm able to keep my clients, my students out of bad deals, and they do everything right. And, you know, part of what I do with my students is I remove the exuberance from the decision making, you know, they're all excited to read that oh, well, let's do this is gonna be right as it now this one's a bad deal. No, you don't understand. Oh, yes, I do. Oh, yes, you know, so that's the key.   Sam Wilson  18:49 Right. And so on that front, are you strictly doing, you know, the coaching and helping your students? Are you also an active investor yourself?   Charles Dobens  18:57 Oh, yeah, I'm an active investor. But the thing is that I invest my students' deals, but I use my own money. I don't cut a deal where, you know, like, if I, you know, you hire me on I keep a certain percentage of the deals that I do for your No, no, that one could get me in big trouble with the bar association because even though I'm not their attorney, I still have to, you know, live by the canon of ethics of a lawyer. And if I can't give objective, legal advice or advice, if they know that the advice I'm giving them is contingent upon whether I'm going to get paid or not, then you know, any advice I give is construed, could be construed as bad advice, because it's not objective. I have to always remain objective, arm's length. So I but I do invest in some my students deals, I see some good ones. And I definitely want to get my money in on those deals. So yeah.   Sam Wilson  19:45 For sure, I mean, that's the two things that this industry revolves around, deals and money, and, you know, when you find a good deal, it's time to get in. What's something you're curious about right now?   Charles Dobens  19:55 Oh, you know, I guess the thing that I'm most curious about is the future are, you know, I'm excited about I love that... Dan Sullivan has a saying he says old is your desire for days in the past is greater than your desire for days in the future. And I think about when the doctor came in and told my dad at 82 years old that he was you know, he had like 24 hours left. His first reaction was, darn it. I just wanted 10 more years. And I like man, that's the attitude I want to have on my deathbed. I was like, Man, I just want to keep going. I'm having too much fun. So I'm curious about the future. I'm so looking forward to it. You know, whatever God gives you. I love that saying the first casualty of 911. from the floor, Fire Department in New York. The first firefighter was the chaplain. I mean, this is how they're saying it. He was hit by debris. And they said, you know, on his eulogy, they said, he said, You want to make God laugh. Tell him what you're going to do tomorrow. Yeah.   Sam Wilson  20:52 Right. Yeah, that's pretty good. I love it. Tell me a book you're reading right now.   Charles Dobens  20:56 I'm reading so many of them. So I do audible. I have Book of the Month Club for my students. We're having it this past coming up. It's an oldie but a goodie. It's Ready, Fire, Aim by Michael Masterson. And it's, I tell you that one is... I watched so many... I teach my students that multifamily is a sales and marketing business. And I set them up with a CRM with 1000 properties in it in their marketplace, I set them up with a VA, I give them all the tools to be a success. But they have to understand that if they don't realize that their job is sales and marketing, they'll never make it in this business. And the whole thing that Michael Masterson talks about is, you know, so many new entrepreneurs are so concerned about their website, about the logo, about the business cards, and they never think about who the customers. And so that is from Ready, Fire, Aim. That's that one I just did right now willpower, and what's the one on willpower by Benjamin Hardy can't remember the full title. But that's a good one. That one teaches you that willpower has less to do about you than it does about the environment that you're in. So set yourself up in an environment that you can achieve success. Another great one that I'm doing is Mauro Guillén, this one... You hear me talking about multiple books, I'm switching at Audible all the time going back and forth, especially because you take a book like 2030 by Mauro Guillén, this is like the follow up to Big Shifts Ahead, which is another great book, but Big Shifts Ahead was written from for the period about 2015 to 2025, talking about what's going on in the marketplace, I had that that author on my podcast as well. So obviously, we're coming up to 2025, the next book behind is 2030. And the thing that he says in that book, which I so agree with, is that the definition of an entrepreneur is virtually the exact same definition as an immigrant, when you look at the two that I mean, that's why for this country to survive, with all the trillions that we're spending, the only way we're able to survive this ridiculous spending program from our government. The only way is by bringing on having a very exuberant immigration policy, bringing in the best and the brightest from around the world. That's the only way this country is going to survive. Otherwise, we're just going to implode I can keep going, man, I got so many great books. I'm always grabbing you know, little kernels out of them. But those are the three that this so far this week I've already been into.   Sam Wilson  23:18 Absolutely love it. Charles, thank you for your time today. I've had an absolute blast learning how you coach your students, you taking the time to really, you know, tell us the hard learned, hard earned mistakes, what those have taught you, and how not to repeat them. You know, you've given us obviously some great reading material there and yeah, man, I've certainly really enjoyed this conversation so...   Charles Dobens  23:41 So did I get a shirt? Did I qualify for a shirt?    Sam Wilson  23:43 You did.   Charles Dobens  23:49 I bet you you look awesome.   Sam Wilson  23:53 Charles, if our listeners want to get in touch with you, what is the best way to do that?   Charles Dobens  23:56 mutifamilyos.com, Multifamily Operating System but the website is multifamily os.com tracked me down there and we can chat more or multifamilyinvestingacademy.com. That's the parent agency of the multifamily OS program. And the best way to get a hold of me.   Sam Wilson  24:12  Awesome, Charles, thanks for your time. I appreciate it.    Charles Dobens  24:15 Thanks, Sam. Good to see you, man.    Sam Wilson  24:16 Hey, thanks for listening to the How to Scale Commercial Real Estate Podcast.

Have you ever wondered how much impact beer, wine, and spirits have on your health and longevity? The US Dietary Guidelines recommend limiting the number of alcoholic beverages we consume, but that can be pretty confusing. How do we even know how much alcohol is considered moderate and how much is too much? Or if we're offered a cocktail at a party, how do we know how much alcohol is in it? My friend, and fellow dietician, Kathleen Zelman is joining us today to answer all those questions and tell us how moderate alcohol consumption can affect our health. She will also explain how alcohol can sabotage our well-being and longevity. Kathleen Zelman is a food, nutrition, and media communications consultant, co-host of the new podcast, True Health Revealed, and owner of No Nonsense Nutrition. Kathleen helped launch WebMD and spent seventeen years as their Director of Nutrition. Kathleen has received many awards throughout her career, including the prestigious Lenna Frances Cooper Memorial Award from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics in recognition of her distinguished career and remarkable contributions to the dietetics profession.  Kathleen is also a consultant for the Distilled Spirits Council (DISCUS), so she is savvy on the subject of alcohol. She is here to give us the scoop on alcohol and talk about a new online calculator designed to help us figure out how much alcohol we are drinking. We will also share some snazzy ideas for cocktails and mocktails! Show highlights: Kathleen is excited about her new podcast that launched in January! She and her co-host, Dr. Tom Rifai, are doing it on behalf of the True Health Initiative, a non-profit organization that wants to ensure that they get information to consumers, translate science, and give consumers evidence-based facts.  Dr. Eric Rimm, a Harvard professor and true expert on alcohol, was on Kathleen's podcast. He said it's okay to have a glass of wine now and then.  What does moderation mean for men and women, and how does that translate into beer, wine, and spirits? To find out what up to one drink per day looks like, go to www.standarddrinks.org to find a calculator. One standard drink is one and a half ounces of 80-proof spirits, a 12-ounce bottle of regular 5% alcohol beer, or five ounces of 12% volume wine. An exercise to do at home is to measure five ounces of wine and pour it into different glasses to see what a standard drink looks like. Become aware of what you are drinking and what the alcohol content is. Most wines have 12% alcohol, but some have much higher alcohol content- 15 or 16%. Most ready-to-drink canned cocktails are 12 ounces and have 5% alcohol content. However, some brands could contain up to 8 or 10% alcohol, so make sure you know how concentrated they are before drinking them. The information is on the label. Get to know how much you are drinking using the standard drinks calculator. Kathleen explains how it works. Having too many drinks in a row or drinking too quickly is considered binge drinking. It is always best to moderate your drinking or have your drinks with food. Why does one type of alcohol impact some people more than another?  If your face becomes flushed after drinking, it is your body telling you to slow down. It means you are not tolerating the alcohol. Kathleen discusses the potential health benefits of drinking in moderation, whether or not there is any truth to the French paradox, and how drinking too much alcohol can sabotage your health. Kathleen lists the people who should not consume alcohol at all.  Some tips to help you enjoy alcohol, reap the health benefits and make your drink last longer.  A standard drink contains roughly 150 calories. Calories add up, so try to use low-calorie mixers, like club soda, and DON'T drink with a straw! Kathleen enjoys a tall vodka soda with a splash of cranberry and a wedge of lime. Her latest favorite is the Aperol Spritz- a serving of prosecco over lots of ice with a splash of Aperol and a wedge of lime.  Kathleen and I share some recipes for mocktails. They are a good option for a “dry January” or taking a break from alcohol. Blue zones are hot spots in various places in the world where people live particularly long and healthy lives. One of the common denominators in all the blue zones is moderate alcohol consumption. Kathleen talks about the Distilled Spirits Council of the US (DISCUS) and explains what you will find on the DISCUS website.   Resources: The standard drinks calculator  The Distilled Spirits Council (DISCUS) website is called Standard Drinks.Org   Liz's Links:  My website: www.lizshealthytable.com   My email: liz@lizshealthytable.com    Mocktail Recipe: Pomegranate Winter Spiced Mocktail (Serves 2) Place a cup of 100% pomegranate juice, a cup of 100% orange juice, some cloves, star anise, and a cinnamon stick in a small saucepan. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes, and then allow it to cool.  Pour it into a tall glass filled with ice, and garnish it with some orange slices or a wedge of orange. You can also add a sprig of mint. Or stretch it by adding some sparkling water.
