    Bethany LaFlam - Building Trust, Partnerships, and Navigating Syndications

    Key Takeaways Trust is built over time through consistent behavior and open communication. It’s vital in real estate partnerships to inspect what you expect. Enter partnerships cautiously. Align strengths, roles, and long-term goals before committing, as partnerships often last several years. Raising capital isn't enough; successful syndications demand operational expertise to run a viable business. Understanding the SEC rules about soliciting investors and their accreditation is crucial to staying compliant. Preferred returns ensure prioritized payouts but only if funds are available, and they are not guaranteed. Engage legal counsel early in the acquisition process, ideally after a signed LOI but before due diligence ends, to ensure all compliance requirements are met. Episode Timeline [0:00 – 2:30] Opening thoughts on trust and successful partnerships. [2:31 – 5:00] Building trust through consistent communication in business and partnerships. [5:01 – 8:00] Importance of aligning roles and skills in real estate partnerships. [8:01 – 11:00] Pitfalls of casual partnerships and how to avoid them.

    Mike Morawski - Multifamily Investing Insights on Metrics, Market Shifts, and Tax Strategies

    Key Takeaways Institutional investors may require a higher preferred return but typically accept a smaller equity share, offering flexibility in deal structuring. Policies like rent control can hinder cash flow, especially in areas with rising costs, affecting property valuations and investor returns. Population and job growth, along with household income, are vital indicators of a market’s potential to sustain rental growth and value appreciation. Diverse employment sectors mitigate risks during economic downturns, providing stability in occupancy and rental income. Working with city officials and economic development teams can ease processes like zoning, permitting, and provide incentives, benefiting both the property and local community. Investors should clarify if they’re prioritizing immediate cash flow or long-term appreciation to align with property performance expectations. Cost segregation is a powerful tool that enables investors to accelerate depreciation, significantly reducing taxable income and offering potential financial advantages.
