    Tax Liens 101 from the Attorney Who Helped Rewrite the Rules: Stephen Morel

    Stephen Morel has spent more than 20 years as a Louisiana title attorney working in the messiest corner of title work: delinquent tax sale titles. He helped rewrite Louisiana's tax sale law, and after Hurricane Katrina he built a title insurance program that put abandoned, forgotten properties back into the stream of commerce. Now he runs JurisDeed. His opening point is the one most tax lien pitches skip. "This is not a private investment, this is a government investment... You have to play by their rule book." Stephen also explains why the Supreme Court took the gotcha out of tax liens. After Tyler v. Hennepin County, the investor who forecloses no longer keeps the owner's equity. What's left is an interest return, and a process you have to prove you followed. What Ed and Stephen get into: Why tax sales are a real problem in the Northeast, for owners who paid off their houses and still face big tax bills Tyler v. Hennepin, Pung v. Isabella County, and who gets the surplus when a property sells What a tax lien actually is, and why most redeem long before foreclosure Fifty states, fifty rule books: notices, clocks and the receipts you need to get paid Post-Katrina New Orleans, missing owners, and why title insurers wouldn't touch abandoned properties The Robinhood idea behind JurisDeed Build it and they will come, and the decision he'd take back Learning more from mistakes than from wins Also in this episode, Questions from the Underground, from Marnee in South Carolina: two years into a multifamily syndication, the sponsor sent a capital call for another 20% of her original investment, due in 30 days. Ed covers the three things a sponsor owes you before you wire more money, why you treat the call like a brand new investment, what the operating agreement says happens if you pass, and three things to do before you invest a single dollar. JurisDeed is in closed beta at jurisdeed.com. Stephen also hosts The Innovative Investor Podcast, or find him on LinkedIn. Got a question you want answered on the show? Send it to ed@clarkst.com.

    Renting Dirt: Nasir Ali of Rise360 Ventures on Manufactured Housing Communities

    Nasir Ali runs Rise360 Ventures. He comes from eight generations in commercial real estate and is the second generation in manufactured housing, a business his family just marked 45 years in, through at least nine downturns. His case for the asset class is simple. "We own the land. And sure the common areas and whatnot, but essentially we're renting dirt." No plumbing, no electrical, no toilets for every unit. "I don't own the damn door." Nasir also thinks the hard part of the cycle hasn't hit yet. As credit tightens, he says, it sets the stage for more creativity, more creative financing and alternative financing. And when budgets get cut, "people drop what they don't need. You can't drop shelter." What Ed and Nasir get into: The late-1970s playbook, and why investors who couldn't adapt were left behind Commercial defaults in office and retail, and why they still hit everyone in commercial real estate through the banks Seller financing, master leases and the other options when bank lending dries up Why manufactured housing has been resilient, not just recession resistant "There's plenty of housing. The problem is it's not affordable." Affordability versus attainability Filling half-empty communities with a dealer arm, financing and turnkey three-bed, two-bath homes The get rich slow scheme: a three to five year journey from 60 or 70% occupancy to full What eight generations passed down when the money was lost: tenacity, knowledge and values The HVAC company he bought after 2008 that cratered overnight, and why you make sure you understand your domain Why his definition of success is one word Also in this episode, Questions from the Underground, from Dave in San Clemente, California: an investor rehabbed and rented a house, and the refi appraisal came in short of what he needed to pull his cash back out. Ed covers why you need to be proactive with appraisers, not reactive, the packet he gives every appraiser, why any pushback is about the comp and not the number, and why he underwrites the refi at 90 to 95% of after rehab value before he buys.

    18% Over 10 Years Beats 20% in Three: Forrest Jinks of Altus Equity Group

    Forrest Jinks runs Altus Equity Group, a real estate investment company that works with family offices and high net worth investors. Most sponsors chase top-line IRR: get in, get out in two, three or four years. Forrest says that leaves a lot of meat on the bone. "It might be awesome to get an 18% return over 10 years versus a 20% return in three." He cares about the net return, after taxes, and about how much risk sits behind the number. Altus runs a lending side too, and Forrest underwrites every loan like an owner. His first question: would we love to own this in our equity business at the debt amount plus foreclosure costs? "If the answer is yes, we're gonna figure out a way to make that loan work." What Ed and Forrest get into: Why a 12% first-position loan at 30% loan to value can beat an 18% ground-up construction deal An industrial building in Mississippi bought for $12 a foot, and the Fortune 500 tenant that signed first Why Forrest calls the Altus debt fund "effectively a proxy for the 10-year Treasury" Walking the property, on equity deals and on loans No back-end leverage, and why Ed's debt fund doesn't borrow to lend either Why the biggest red flag in an investor is wanting to get rich quick Holding for 10 years or more, and why real estate's wider band lets you buy low and sell high in any part of the cycle The day Forrest decided to build a company instead of doing three or four deals a year The promise he made to investors before 2008, and why he'll never make it again His daughter's olive oil business, and why her $7,000 from him is an investment, not a gift Also in this episode, Questions from the Underground: Jose's lender approved half his draw, and his contractor says no money, no work. Ed covers why the fight is really about the definition of done, why your project schedule and your draw schedule need the exact same language, and why you carry a 10 to 20% contingency.

    Building an AI Investment Committee: Palmy Kitti of The Kitti Sisters

    Palmy Kitti and her sister Nan started a fashion business with $2,000. Years later their biggest client shut down all its retail stores and 95% of their income was gone overnight. They moved into flipping houses in Los Angeles, then into multifamily syndication. Seven and a half years in, Palmy says they have nearly half a billion dollars in assets under management across Georgia, Arkansas and Texas. Now a lot of that business runs through AI. After a property management changeover, her system flagged that one property had more cash than its reports showed. They'd overfunded the reserve account by $169,000. Finding that used to mean people matching rent rolls against the T12 and the general ledger by hand. She says it took her less than five minutes. She's just as clear about where AI stops. "You can have the best AI tools, but AI doesn't give you that judgment. You have to make that judgment." What Ed and Palmy get into: The $169,000 her AI caught in a reserve account after a property management changeover A fire that burned eight units with only two occupied, and the eight-page report that got the insurer to approve business interruption on all eight: $136,000 through August Her AI investment committee, with a risk role, a capital role and a market role that each try to find the flaws in a deal before a CEO role sums it up Why AI multiplies the advantage you already have and can't create one for you Ed's rule for the AI agents in his flip business: they handle execution, never judgment How a newer investor can use AI to bring real value to an experienced general partner The partner who stole her investor list, and the partners who went quiet during a refinance Why drinks on Thursday doesn't mean you get married on Saturday The investor on their dead list who invested five years later "Earn to own," and what Fortune Builders taught her about owning assets before buying things Also in this episode, Questions from the Underground: when do I quit the job? Ed covers what has to be in place before you leave your W-2: insurance, cash reserves, debt, plus structure and protection. Book mentioned: The Innovation Secrets of Steve Jobs by Carmine Gallo, Palmy's pick Learn about Palmy's AI operating system at kittiroadmap.com, and find The Kitti Sisters at thekittisisters.com and on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and Facebook.

    How a PhD Underwrites Apartments: Jason Williams of Ironclad Underwriting

    Jason Williams spent 15 years as a chemical engineer. He's owned real estate since 2003 and large multifamily since 2017. When he started underwriting apartments, half the spreadsheets he was handed had broken cells and equations that didn't work, so he built his own model. People kept asking him to show them how it worked, and that model became Ironclad Underwriting. His rule is simple: never underwrite off your own numbers. The property manager tells him what each unit can rent for. The insurance broker prices the premium off comparable properties, and he uses the high end of the range. A tax advisor fights the assessment. And the plumber's bid gets multiplied by three, sometimes four. "Every single property I've had from a 1950s build up to early 2000s has had major plumbing issues." What Ed and Jason get into: Why a T12 almost never ties to the bank statements, and when that gap is actually a red flagRent rolls that look clean but hide a rollover cliff, and why the manager, not the spreadsheet, sets pro forma rentsInsurance priced on replacement cost, and what Texas nondisclosure does to your tax bill after you buyThe tax advisor who saved him $20,000 one year and $11,000 this year, paid only on a percentage of what he savesWhy he no longer chases agency debt, even with the better ratesA 72-unit plumbing job that put residents in a hotel for two weeks, and a gas leak that shut off the gas over Easter weekendEd's sewer line on a 10-unit building that passed inspection: a $5,000 to $10,000 fix at purchase that became $44,000 a year and a half laterSix months of reserves, and why Ed doubled his after the pandemicThe zoning mistake on a mobile home community that has cost Jason more than a year of unexpected debt serviceAlso in this episode, Questions from the Underground. An experienced Connecticut investor asked Ed whether it's time to cycle back to cash flow deals or keep riding the appreciation wave. Ed's answer: it's always a cash flow play. Appreciation is the cherry on top, not the basis of a business plan. Books mentioned: Who Not How by Dan Sullivan with Dr. Benjamin Hardy, Jason's favoriteThe E-Myth Revisited by Michael E.

    Boring Is Beautiful: Stewart Heath on 13% Cash on Cash and the $300,000 He Did Not Have

    Stewart Heath, CPA went into 2008 over-levered and under-reserved. He handed buildings back to the banks. He says that for want of roughly $300,000 in reserves he would still own them, and every rule he operates by now was built backward from that number. His book is called "Don't Do What I Did." Stewart runs Harvard Grace Capital out of Spring Hill, Tennessee, buying stabilized commercial assets along the I-65 corridor from Nashville to Birmingham. Medical office, suburban office, storage, retail and warehouse. Eleven assets by the company's count and more than 300,000 square feet. Their tagline is boring is beautiful. It is printed on the banners. "There's not a whole lot boring about 13% cash on cash returns." What Ed and Stewart get into: The 12 months of mortgage reserves he sets aside on every deal, sized as if the property income goes to zero, and what holding that money costs him in returnsWhy medical office is his favorite asset class: hundreds of thousands of dollars of tenant build-out, 10 year leases, triple net with 3% bumps and tenants who treat rent as a line item instead of a negotiationSuburban office and service retail, the class B buildings where a business meets its customers rather than collects its employeesWhy he underwrites a geography and not an asset classWhy he refused to run a fund for years, and what two independent RIA relationships changedRetail moving from 25% food and restaurants to almost 60%, with price per square foot almost doubling in three yearsWhy he stopped doing single-tenant deals after watching a tenant walk out on 10 years of leaseThe contrarian office call: nobody can finance new office, the population is not shrinking and one of his buildings sits in a town under a two year sewer moratoriumAlso in this episode, a new segment called Questions from the Underground. An investor owns 19 units two states away. His manager reports 95% occupancy every month and his distributions have shrunk four quarters in a row. Ed walks through the per unit profit and loss that tells him whether he has a building problem, a manager problem or one bad quarter. Books mentioned: "Don't Do What I Did" by Stewart Heath.

    The inspector told Jeff Emalaba to run. Confirmation bias cost Jeff $11,000.

    Twenty-five years ago Jeff Emalaba was a guest host on CNBC Africa, analyzing derivatives, commodities and futures, and holding an options license in Florida. He describes all of it as one subject: risk transference. That is the lens he brought to real estate, which makes what happened next harder to explain and more useful to hear. He drove two hours to see a duplex in North Carolina and walked it with his agent. Nothing looked wrong. He asked the seller why the previous buyer had backed out and was told they could not get funding. He asked his agent to dig further. Nothing came back. So he paid. Five thousand dollars in non-refundable due diligence fees, five thousand in earnest money, six hundred seventy-five for an inspection, seven hundred for an appraisal. That money was committed before anyone had been inside the walls. Then the inspector came back with one word: run. Foundation, structural, roofing, mold, electrical. Jeff didn't believe him. He decided the inspector was exaggerating and hired a general contractor to go prove it, fully intending to pay that contractor to fix whatever turned out to be wrong. The contractor sent back a ten-page email explaining why he should never buy the property unless he had a hundred thousand dollars to spend. Jeff walked. The seller kept the money. The part Jeff wants investors to understand is how all of that was legal. A seller who already knows about a prior buyer's inspection report can select no representation on the disclosure form, stay silent, and keep the fees when the deal dies. He calls it the no representation loophole, and it is what sent him to build InvestFusion. Ed presses him on the part that matters to anyone evaluating a tool like this: where does the data actually come from, and what happens in the middle when you ingest three inconsistent sources and output one confident answer. Ed asks as an operator who runs his own deals through AI, not as a host taking a pitch. Also in this episode: why Ed thinks a Zestimate is not merely inaccurate but dangerous, what a single government tenant can do to a commercial deal, the four fees an investor can lose before owning anything, Manny Khoshbin's "you make your money on the buy," and Ed's own translation of the word pro forma. Questions from the Underground is back at 26:38. Jack, an investor in North Carolina, analyzed sixty deals in three months and made zero offers because nothing penciled. He wants to know whether the market is broken or he is. Ed's answer: sixty analyzed and zero offered is not caution, and there is a three-step sort that tells you which of your buy box, your cost of capital, or your read on the market is actually wrong.

    Mark Khuri reviews up to 700 deals a year. He invests in 10. Here's his filter.

    Mark Khuri co-founded SMK Capital Management with his father, Dr. Suheil Khuri, pooling family capital informally before opening the firm's doors in 2010. They operated properties directly through 2017, then pivoted entirely to the LP side. Today SMK reviews 600 to 700 private real estate deals a year and invests in roughly 1 to 2% of them, call it 5 to 10 deals annually, across diversified funds, single-asset deals, and one-off syndications for their investor base. Ed and Mark get into the mechanics of how SMK actually filters that flow: a 40-point due diligence checklist covering firm credentials, deal-level underwriting, and required deliverables, the discipline of comparing an operator's underwritten returns against their actual results on deals that already went full cycle, and the red flags that end a conversation before it starts (a principal who won't share their last name is an automatic no). From there, the conversation turns to mobile home parks, an asset class SMK has been investing in since 2012. Mark explains why new supply is structurally constrained (NIMBYism, unaffordable construction economics), why 70 to 80% of parks are still owned by mom-and-pop operators with no succession plan, and the specific value-add levers SMK targets: occupancy infill and converting park-owned homes into tenant-owned homes through rent-to-own financing structures. He's candid about where the asset class has gotten more competitive, cap rates in some markets have compressed from north of 10% a decade ago to 3 to 4% today, and why SMK stays out of the priciest infill deals and the most distressed ones alike. The episode closes on underwriting discipline: the hardest deal Mark walked away from recently, and why "pro forma" so often needs a second, much more skeptical read. Also in this episode: the first installment of Questions from the Underground, where Ed answers a real problem an investor put to him: a contractor took most of the draws, the job is 40% done, and the contractor has gone dark. What to do first, on tape, no filler. Real Estate Underground publishes every Tuesday.
