Episode 83 - If you ‘can’t break it’…you must invest.

/

Bob DeLong was concerned about his retirement and was looking for a solution. He found that investing in apartments could create passive income. He now invests in apartments in central Texas. He is a managing member and a passive investor in several hundred apartment units.

Bob believes that the Austin ‘Class C’ apartment market is incredible or insane. Demand outstrips supply…rents are going up and occupancy is at 98%. Bob has properties in Austin and San Antonio, Texas. Prior to getting into apartments, Bob was in the engineering and construction business for over 35 years. He is a hands-on type of guy. His initial investment strategy was IRA’s and 401k’s until he realized he needed something more. His retirement lifestyle was in jeopardy. He was concerned that drawing out his money from a 401k, and not putting money back in, was frightening. He felt that he needed passive income to retire if he was going to live another 20-30 years. 
Bob found an apartment mentoring and education group. Bob was initially skeptical and only made some small passive investments in other peoples properties. Over a period of time and four apartment investments, Bob began to believe that apartment investing was a viable solution for his retirement with passive income. Bob believes that having the mentoring and education group, that he joined, was the ‘game changer’. He could not have done it without them because it would have taken him years of trial and error to figure it out. After being a passive investor for several years, Bob decided to become a managing member and put his own transactions together. In the podcast, Bob describes how he operates and manages his properties in central Texas.

ASK MIKE MONDAYS - Can you make money; if you buy a SMALLER APARTMENT building? What are some of the RULES OF THUMB for employees per unit?

/

Smaller buildings can typically be more challenging to staff and then push payroll expenses over less units. Owning apartments is a scaleable business. Mike explains some of the rules of thumb on how many units you need to own to hire a manager and maintenance person and some of the solutions that are necessary to make money on your investment.

Episode 82 - They are all still friends after buying a 142 unit apartment building together

/

Friends for over 17 years; Boris, Oshi, Leonid & Albert currently live in Northern California and now own 200 apartment units in Dallas, Texas. How do hardware designers that live over 1700 miles away, find, own and operate apartment buildings? Boris chats with James on how they found their first 55-unit apartment property and how they managed a $300,000 rehab project from a long distance. After the rehab, the partners were able to increase rents by over 30% a unit. They increased NOI dramatically, thus increasing value. They did not syndicate this deal. They only used their own personal funds.
The next purchase was a 142 unit- Class C property in Arlington, Texas. They purchased a slight value added property. They had to assume the current Fannie loan and apply for a “second lien” supplemental to get total leverage up to 75%. Wow! That was a tough one. They had only owned their first property for a little over a year…and now they were going to double the size of their portfolio. Fannie had to get comfortable with the new sponsor and their management company. Fannie knew the seller (they liked his long term ownership experience) and now we had to convince Fannie to substitute them with a new “limited experience” buying group. Yikes!! We got it done. 
The guys explain on how they are educating potential multifamily investors in the Bay area. They run a successful MEETUP GROUP in Las Gatos, California. They believe MEETUPS are a great ways of bringing investors together.
Advice to new apartment buyers…make sure you have the correct rehab amount needed upfront when applying for a loan…and never think you can take it out of cash flow. Have more money; than less. It’s always easier to return investors’ money- than having a capital call with your investors.

Episode 81 - The Passive Income Physician

/

Thomas & Timothy Black are brothers and principals at Napali Capital, LLC.  
Napali Capital acquires and operates Class B & C apartments. Tim recently retired as the chief operating officer for GREAT WOLF LODGE corporation.  Tom is currently an EMERGENCY ROOM DOCTOR that also helps physicians and other high-income professional overcome career crisis by teaching them how to expand their personal net worth through passive income real estate.  What a combination! These brothers have something going for themselves.
 
Why should doctors look into investing in commercial real estate?  Tom reflects on the high rate of burn out with critical care professionals.  In the last three years…6 in 10 emergency room doctors are burned out with the excessive amount of hours worked, government intervention, lawsuits, patient satisfaction and declining insurance reimbursement.  Tom acknowledges that physicians have high income, but they have limited personal net worth. Typically, physicians are not financially savvy due to the time that is needed to learn and master their medical craft. What medical school fails to teach doctors, Dr. Black educates. Tom’s newly released book is called “The Passive Income Physician.”  Tom shares a memoir/ guidebook that helps high-income professionals understand how passive income through commercial real estate investing can help buy back your freedom. The book has a very “Rich Dad / Poor Dad” theme.

Greg Willett- Chief Economist
RealPage

RealPage is the leading provider of on-demand software solutions for the rental housing industry. RealPage supplies property management software to over 12,000 ownership groups that own or control over 30,000,000 residence units. They are the Facebook or Google in their industry.

Greg believes that this strong rental cycle started in 2010 with huge demand. 2017 will still have great performance for the nation. Probable peak on annual rental revenue growth was in 2016. Golden age of apartments is now; but it is not realistic to expect for continuous sustainability. Rent growth is good at 3.5%. Developers are continuing to build apartments. They will deliver over 360,000 units nationally this year. Greg likes Sacramento, the Inland Empire in California, Las Vegas, Seattle, & DFW.
Texas has 4 major markets.  
DFW is a step ahead than other Texas markets with rent growth at 6%. Almost 50,000 units under construction right now in DFW. Houston, is seeing some pricing concessions and rental cut on mostly A product. Austin is seeing a little slow down from the year before with rental growth at 3%. San Antonio is the most stable of the Texas markets. Rent growth is at 3%. 
In 2017, Dallas will deliver over 25000 brand-new Class A units. Still big gap between A & B product; A vs B is a 40% rental price difference. Annual rent growth on value added B is 6%. DFW added 680,000 new jobs since 2010. Qualification index: Rent to Income ratio has stayed the same from 2010. Never one type of renter profile.
