Episode 132 - “The Corporate Monkey” starring Michael Becker

This was the title to the recent Jake & Geno Podcast that featured the “Michael Becker” story. We love that story and wanted to hear it again. Michael went from a lonely, top producing commercial real estate banker to the popular, apartment owner that we all know and love today. After 15 years in banking, Michael went from a “loaner to an owner.” Are you an engineer, doctor, or attorney and tired of being a “corporate monkey?” You will be inspired after listening to this podcast.

Episode 130 - LANE BEENE won APARTMENT OWNER of the YEAR. He takes broken properties and turns them around. He helps his community, his tenants and, of course… his investors. What can you learn?

Lane Beene buys value added properties. He seeks distressed apartment assets in nice and mature neighborhoods. Many investors search for these ‘holy grail’ of opportunities. Many seek, but few find. Recently, Lane purchased three separate apartment buildings that needed repositioning. He shares his story on how he found these apartments and the amount of rehab that was necessary to reward him and his investors. He did such a good job, that the Fort Worth Apartment Association awarded him Apartment Owner of the Year. His smaller property competed against many large 300 unit- Class A- REIT owned properties. Unbelievable!

ASK MIKE MONDAYS - Michael, do you see any concerns at the beginning of the 2nd quarter for 2018?
