    Why Ignoring the Noise Helped Me Succeed in Real Estate | EP 36

    Hey, it’s Alex Coffman, and welcome back to The Real enTREpreneur™ Podcast! In this episode, "Why Ignoring the Noise Helped Me Succeed in Real Estate | EP 36," I’m diving into how blocking out the critics and staying focused on the right strategies helped me win in real estate. I’ve heard it all—people saying beginners shouldn’t touch commercial real estate because of big competition. But here’s the truth: if you let that kind of noise get to you, you’ll miss out on some of the best opportunities in the game. In this episode, I’m breaking down: Why Single-Family Homes Aren’t Always the Best Starting Point: High competition, limited returns, and why there are better options. The Sweet Spot for New Investors: Why 32 to 64 unit apartment complexes offer the best balance for newcomers and don’t attract big institutional players. Assembling the Right Team: How getting the right people around you makes commercial real estate way more accessible than you think. Blocking Out the Critics: Why focusing on long-term gains and not settling for less will put you ahead in the real estate game. Ready to stop listening to the naysayers and start building real wealth through commercial real estate?

    The Biggest Mistakes I made in Real Estate | Ep 32

    Hey there, it's Alex Coffman, host of The Real enTREpreneur™ Podcast! In this episode, I'm getting real about the biggest mistakes I made in my early real estate investing days. Trust me, there were a few. I dive into the lessons I’ve learned about the importance of thinking big and why focusing on larger deals can make all the difference in achieving long-term success. I share my journey from smaller investments—like houses, duplexes, and quadplexes—that seemed like good deals at the time but didn’t contribute much to my overall goals. These smaller properties often came with high management costs, poor cash flow, and less favorable debt terms, making them harder to manage and less profitable in the long run. I talk about how these experiences taught me to prioritize bigger deals that offer better cash flow, appreciation, and scalability. I also emphasize the importance of having patience, discipline, and a clear strategy. It's easy to get caught up in the excitement of closing deals, but without thorough analysis, you might find yourself in a tough spot later. Reflecting on the success of recent large-scale deals, I highlight how these investments have significantly outperformed the smaller deals I made over the past six years. From setting up the right team to taking advantage of tax benefits, larger deals have proven to be game-changers. If you’re interested in learning from my mistakes and want to hear more about our latest investment opportunities with TR3 Capital, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about how you can avoid the pitfalls of small thinking and start focusing on the big picture. Learn more: https://tr3capital.com/

    TR3 Capital's Strategic Expansion: Key Markets to Watch | Ep 31

    In this episode, I'm diving into TR3 Capital's strategic expansion and the key markets we're focusing on. We've been busy exploring new opportunities, and I want to share the insights we've gained along the way. First up, we talk about the importance of a solid market entry strategy. It's all about connecting with local players—brokers, managers, and everyone who can give you the lay of the land. Meeting people like Tom in Houston was crucial for understanding the market dynamics and getting insider knowledge. I also discuss the current market conditions, which are shifting in our favor thanks to decreasing interest rates. Deals that didn’t make sense a while ago are now back on the table, and we're taking full advantage of that. Speaking of Houston, we recently took a trip down there to tour properties and get a feel for the area. Evaluating properties based on their condition, location, and financial metrics like rent levels and operating expenses is key to finding the right investment opportunities. Our geographical focus remains strong in Texas—Houston, Austin, DFW, San Antonio—while also expanding into markets like Oklahoma, Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee. These areas are ripe with potential, and we're keeping a close eye on them. For those of you new to real estate investing, I share some essential advice on entering new markets. It's all about connecting with local brokers and digging into the local market data to make informed decisions.I also break down the acquisition costs involved in property deals, covering everything from earnest money to inspections, appraisals, and legal fees. Understanding these costs upfront is crucial for successful investing. We’re currently working on some exciting deals, including a 144-unit property outside Austin and an RV park in Oklahoma City, both of which are benefiting from the recent drop in interest rates.Lastly, I touch on our future plans, including the opening of Fund 3 for investors, potential changes in our event frequency, and upcoming training sessions on commercial real estate. There’s a lot happening, and I’m excited to share it with you! Don't miss this episode—it's packed with actionable insights and real-world strategies to help you navigate and succeed in the ever-changing real estate landscape. 📅 Events: August 22nd: TR3 Capital Monthly Investor Call August 29th: Free LIVE Commercial Real Estate Training: https://treuniversity.com/livetraining
