ASK MIKE MONDAYS - Michael, I am thinking of buying a $1 million apartment building and should I put on PERMANENT DEBT?

Michael gives an example on apartment loan structuring and what you should consider BEFORE you lock yourself in with a future large prepayment penalty. When you are buying your first apartment building and it qualifies for a long term Freddie Mac loan, you may want to consider additional financing options if you are thinking of selling within the next 5-7 years.

Episode 148 - What you need to know BEFORE investing your HARD EARNED DOLLARS. Hans Box, CPA breaks down common investing terms and structures

Hans Box is a talented, top producing commercial loan officer for Old Capital; but also is an investor and a CPA. Hans has been a deal sponsor or a passive investor on many real estate transactions over the last few years. Hans shares his experience in real estate investing and breaks down some common jargon into easy to understand terms. Hans also coaches passive investors to be proactive with deal sponsors. He wants you to recognize that you are making an investment not only on the jockey (deal sponsor) but also the horse (the apartment building). Can the deal sponsor clearly articulate what the goal of the transaction is all about? Are they buying a value-add property or a yield property? How much rehab is needed? What is the expected rate of return? When can I expect a return on my investment? How much “skin in the game” are the deal sponsors co-investing into the transaction? What CAP rate are they using on the sale? Listen to this comprehensive discussion on how passive investors make money in apartment syndications.
