    Investing from His Dorm to Owning 500+ Units with Derrick Barker, Ep. 742

    Derrick Barker is the co-founder and CEO of Nectar, a flexible capital platform for experienced real estate operators. He began buying property from his Harvard dorm room, later traded structured bonds at Goldman Sachs while scaling to 500+ units, and now oversees thousands of units while helping operators unlock growth with portfolio-backed capital.     📢 Announcement: Get 25% off your first two months with Hemlane’s property management software — visit hemlane.com and use the promo code: multifamilypodcast25.     Key Takeaways Think portfolio, not “one deal”—build proof of concept and a differentiated pitch to attract capital. Scaling exposes new constraints: you may outgrow property managers, contractors, and partners as you level up. Nectar provides flexible capital (mezz/pref-style) backed by low‑leverage, cash‑flowing assets to bridge gaps without full refis or capital calls. Flexible capital can be faster and cheaper (all‑in) than recapitalizing the entire first mortgage just to plug a small shortfall. Business is continuous problem‑solving—focus on which fires to put out, which ones to let burn, and don’t quit.     Topics From Harvard Dorm Room to 500+ Units Started with a $40K house in southwest Atlanta and raised small checks by offering higher cash yields vs. NYC cap rates. Used early wins as proof of concept to expand into small multis and portfolios. Scaling Pains and People Problems Outgrew managers and construction partners mid‑project; learned to replace teams to match new scale. On‑site staffing quality and leadership turnover can make or break results. What Nectar Does Portfolio‑backed, flexible capital for seasoned operators (often 10+ years experience, $50–$100M+ AUM). Typically structured as mezzanine capital or preferred equity attached to stabilized assets. Use cases: finish an over‑budget reno, buy out a partner, plug a small gap without a full refinance. Flexible Capital vs. Refinancing Rather than refinance a $10M first to $10.5M (fees, timing, higher rate), place a targeted $500K slice behind the first. Often cheaper all‑in than rescue capital or capital calls—and much faster. Case Study Snapshot Northeast owner stabilized at home market; ran over budget on a Southeast value‑add. Nectar capital, secured by the stabilized NE portfolio, finished the work; repayment came from cash flow.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here.     Round of Insights Failure that set Derrick up for success: A land‑plus‑construction deal died during the pandemic; selling the land at a loss taught him to only place debt on cash‑flowing assets. Digital or mobile resource: ChatGPT — loaded with core docs to act as a context‑aware thought partner. Book recommendation: Principles by Ray Dalio. Daily habit: Weekly written priorities to define what makes the week a success. #1 insight for scaling in business: Don’t quit—decide which fires to put out and which to let burn so you can keep moving. Favorite restaurant in Atlanta, GA: Muchacho.     Next Steps Explore Nectar’s flexible capital solutions for experienced operators: usenectar.com  Audit your current partners (management, construction, lenders) and upgrade where your scale demands it Document weekly priorities to keep focus as you grow     Thank you for joining us for another great episode!

He specializes in private credit solutions that bridge the gap between traditional bank financing and equity, offering innovative stretch senior loans that provide higher leverage while allowing sponsors to retain more control and equity upside.     📢 Announcement: Get 25% off your first two months with Hemlane’s property management software — visit hemlane.com and use the promo code: multifamilypodcast25.     Key Takeaways Hybrid Debt Fund’s stretch senior loan structure can finance up to 90% LTC, reducing equity needs. The fund is designed to fill the lending gap left by banks tightening credit in recent years. Dave evaluates deals based on the asset’s fundamentals and the sponsor’s track record. Higher leverage is paired with strict underwriting and active risk management. Building a first-time $50M fund required patience, strong investor relationships, and clear communication.     Topics Bridging the Gap Between Debt and Equity How Hybrid Debt Fund’s stretch senior loans combine aspects of senior debt and mezzanine financing. Why this model helps sponsors retain more equity without giving up control. Filling the Financing Void Traditional banks have pulled back on CRE lending, especially for transitional assets. Private credit has stepped in to offer flexible capital for well-underwritten deals. Evaluating Deals and Sponsors Asset quality, location, and market trends are weighed alongside the sponsor’s experience. Emphasis on proven operators who communicate transparently and have a track record of execution. Launching and Growing a Private Debt Fund Challenges in raising and deploying $50M for a first-time fund. The importance of selecting the right investor channels and delivering consistent reporting. Risk Management at High Leverage Strong covenants, active monitoring, and conservative stress testing help mitigate downside risks. Dave’s approach balances creative structuring with disciplined underwriting.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here.     Round of Insights Failure that set Dave up for success: Lessons from the 2008 downturn on managing debt and keeping margin in deals. Digital or mobile resource: ChatGPT & PodPitch. Book recommendation: Atomic Habits by James Clear.

    How to Start Investing in Apartments with Jason Kenney, Ep. 740

    Jason Kenney is a real estate investor and founder of Novo Capital Management. After a career in financial services and multiple corporate relocations, he launched his investing company in 2019 and left corporate in 2023 to focus exclusively on real estate. Jason now invests primarily in multifamily syndications and creates education for aspiring passive investors on YouTube.     📢 Announcement: Get 25% off your first two months with Hemlane’s property management software — visit hemlane.com and use the promo code: multifamilypodcast25.     Key Takeaways “Passive” single‑family rentals often become a second job without systems and scale. Start with market fundamentals first—job growth, supply and demand, and barriers to homeownership—before evaluating a property. Vet the operator as thoroughly as the deal; team quality is the biggest risk lever for LPs. Clarify your goals and your “why” so investments match the life you want, not just returns. Education and community help shorten the learning curve and avoid costly mistakes.     Topics From Corporate Careers to Real Estate Launched a real estate investment company in 2019 and exited corporate in 2023. Early single‑family approach created “passive” income that still demanded nights and weekends. Shifted to multifamily syndications for scale, professional management, and true passivity. How Jason Underwrites Markets Looks first at macro drivers: jobs, quality of life, and cost of living. Studies submarket supply pipelines and rent/occupancy trends to avoid oversupplied pockets. Prefers markets with high barriers to homeownership and a strong rent‑vs‑buy spread. Choosing Operators and Deals Prioritizes track record, communication, and alignment of interests. Evaluates assumptions, downside plans, and capital preservation before upside. Diversifies across sponsors and markets to manage risk. Education and Content Shares passive‑investing fundamentals and case studies on his YouTube channel “Hassle Free Wealth.” Encourages new investors to define outcomes first, then pick strategies that fit.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here.     Round of Insights Failure that set Jason up for success: Withdrawing from college and starting again taught him discipline and grit that now guide his investing journey. Digital or mobile resource: CREXI — for market comps, property records, and demographic insights. Book recommendation: Never Eat Alone by Keith Ferrazzi — a playbook for building authentic relationships. Daily habit: Starts each day by revisiting his “why,” using it to stay focused and navigate setbacks. #1 insight for passive investors: Know the team behind the deal and how they manage risk—operator quality drives outcomes. Favorite restaurant in Murfreesboro/Franklin, TN: Herban Market.     Next Steps Check out Jason’s educational videos on YouTube. Clarify your investment goals and risk tolerance before evaluating opportunities. When reviewing a deal, start with the market and the operator’s track record, then dig into assumptions.     Thank you for joining us for another great episode!
