    438: Get Valuable Advise Before Investing In Your Next Real Estate Deal

    438: Get Valuable Advise Before Investing In Your Next Real Estate Deal

    In the past few years, hundreds of new Real Estate operators began syndicating deals. Many of these operators are great marketers, but unfortunately inexperienced, and unqualified to operate their properties. Many paid too much, got overleveraged bridge debt, and have been unable to execute on their business plans. As a result, they’ve lost a lot of passive investors (LP) money. The smartest thing LP’s can do is to become educated and informed about how to properly vet operators before investing their hard-earned capital. Aleksey Chernobelskiy, an experienced advisor to passive investors, helps vet deals and sponsors to prevent these investors from losing money. Aleksey also writes investing tips to thousands of Limited Partners at LPlessons.substack.com.

Matt Ricciardella, Founding and Managing Partner of Crystal View Capital, has made a career out of finding great, off-market deals, adding value, and generating huge returns.

    436: How You Structure Your Organization May Be The Most Important Thing You Do

    In the past several years, hundreds of new operators and capital raisers have emerged into the Commercial Real Estate landscape. Unfortunately, many of these new entrants are out of SEC compliance in how their corporations are structured and the way they raise capital.  Additionally, many of these operators joined with other new operators with a similar lack of experience and are having massive troubles with their deals. They overpaid for properties, took on expensive bridge debt, and have limited operating experience. Seth Bradley, Chief Legal Officer of Tribevest, is helping operators set up and operate Fund of Fund models so General Partners are operating within compliance and implementing best practices within their organizations.

    434: One Of The Hottest Assets In Real Estate

Between restaurants, gyms, medical retail, and recreation, the demand is at all time highs. Beth Azor, “The Canvassing Queen,” and Founder of Azor Advisory Services, is an incredibly successful leasing agent for over 30 years in South Florida. Beth is also an owner of strip centers, consultant, and trainer. Beth trains leasing agents all over the country and is on a mission to increase the number of women who invest in commercial Real Estate.

    433: New Supply And Increased Expenses Make Multifamily A Challenge

    433: New Supply And Increased Expenses Make Multifamily A Challenge

    If you bought a multifamily property in 2022, it is likely worth considerably less now because higher Interest rates have driven prices down. Additionally, new supply has negatively impacted rent growth in many markets, which has further created downward pressure on prices. Declining rents, higher vacancy, and increased expenses has burdened operators. The long-term prospects for workforce housing are very strong because of a national housing shortage, but several challenges are making it difficult in the short-term. Jordan Fisher, Principal of Next Wave Investors, is navigating these choppy waters. Jordan is an excellent value-add operator of mostly C and B class properties, and has generated great returns for his investors.

An engaging discussion!

Roger has a very good interview style and I enjoy how he engages with his guests. Never overtalking his guests nor competing for attention, Roger is able to summarize points and explain without “mansplaining.” He asks the right questions, so as to keep the valuable insights pouring forth from his guests - some of the brightest strategic minds in the business / entrepreneurial world. I have quickly become a regular listener and appreciate the resource of over 300 past shows on many subjects of interest to me. Highly recommended.
