Justin Martinez and Matt Picheny are business partners in a 132 unit, two property portfolio in Lawrence, Kansas. Justin lives in Dallas, and Matt lives in Boston, we discuss how they found this opportunity near the University of Kansas.
Success in real estate just doesn’t happen overnight. You must take action! Many new investors go to real estate conferences to get educated and networked with like minded folks. Matt met Justin at an educational and mentoring conference and found they had common ground. Prior to meeting Justin, Matt had only purchased single family homes and had never purchased an apartment building. Matt leveraged Justin’s past ownership and management experience in over 1200 units to help him purchase a large apartment building. If you DO NOT have current multifamily ownership real experience; you will need to find a partner that brings a set of skills that you are lacking. Listen to how Matt and Justin came together to purchase a large apartment building. Teaming up can bring success faster.

Episode 168 - How did two “smart guys” come together and buy over 400 units in less than 18 months?

Shane Thomas and Prashant Satoskar did not know each other 2 years ago. Shane and Prashant met at an apartment educational/mentoring group meeting. They immediately recognized that by working together it would make their investing partnership stronger. Both guys brought in strengths to the team. Today, they own 3 large apartment buildings. To go bigger (more units) and go faster (shorter time frame) - it’s important to meet as many fellow investors that share your common goals. Networking within the apartment investor community is critical. If you are looking for equity, vendors, or partners; it’s important to attend and network with as many qualified folks as possible.
In many markets within the country, trying to win a deal is super competitive. Sometimes, you are not the original choice of the seller. Shane and Prashant discuss winning and closing two deals AFTER they were not originally chosen. Coming in second may feel like coming in last…but many times, the original buyer cannot perform. Keep the faith.

ASK MIKE MONDAYS - Michael, how do you get comfortable with putting HARD EARNEST MONEY into the transaction on day one?

Your seller may require you to prove that you are a serious buyer by demanding a large amount of initial earnest money up front. This money could be at risk, IF you do not perform. The seller wants to assured that you won’t re-trade them during the sales process. Michael explains some of the paths he uses to mitigate that possible risk.
