#186: Bigger Deals Do Not Always Lead To Bigger PROFITS... The Math Behind Small vs. Big Deals
Welcome to a quick solo episode of the Multifamily Wealth Podcast! In this episode, we're delving into a critical topic that dispels a common misconception among newer multifamily investors: the profitability of smaller multifamily properties compared to their larger counterparts. While many in the industry advocate for pursuing larger deals, this episode sheds light on the math behind why small multifamily properties can be just as, if not more, profitable.
We'll start by defining "small" and "large" multifamily properties with specific numbers. The central argument here is that while larger deals may seem more lucrative on the surface, the math often reveals a different reality. We'll walk you through two scenarios, one involving a five-unit property and the other a 50-unit property, breaking down the potential profits, equity requirements, and partnership dynamics. By the end of this episode, you'll have a fresh perspective on where to focus your time and investment efforts, as bigger doesn't always mean better in the world of real estate. If you find this episode insightful, please consider leaving a rating and review, and don't hesitate to share it with your network to help others navigate the multifamily landscape more effectively.

Over time, he transitioned to larger multifamily deals, sometimes using his own funds and often partnering with investors. We delve into Scott's fascinating story, including a deal from 2017 where he acquired an Indianapolis property with no money down, thanks to creative capital structuring. It's an episode filled with actionable insights for both seasoned and novice investors.

#182: The Critical Difference Between "Management" and "CapEx" Focused Value-Add Multifamily Deals
Welcome to the Multifamily Wealth Podcast! In this episode, we're diving into a crucial topic for multifamily investors: the difference between management-heavy value-add strategies and renovation-heavy ones. We'll explore how value is created in multifamily projects and why it's essential to understand this distinction.
You'll discover that the real game-changer in multifamily investments often lies in improving property management, such as optimizing the rent roll, reducing expenses, or enhancing tenant quality, rather than solely relying on costly renovations. We'll compare two scenarios, one where management improvements take center stage and another where extensive renovations are required, dissecting the risk and reward associated with each.
By the end of this episode, you'll have a clear understanding of how to evaluate multifamily deals and identify the ones that offer the best risk-adjusted returns. So, stay tuned, and let's dive into the world of multifamily wealth-building strategies!
