Episode 179 - “Old Real Estate Guys” established an INVESTMENT FUND to buy apartments

Bill Mara & Pat Poling have been business partners for over 30 years. These “old real estate guys,” operated a multi-billion dollar institutional real estate portfolio for about a dozen years and then made the move into large apartment investing. They saw the opportunity to invest into value-add & work force multifamily and wanted to have individual partners instead of institutional investors. Before they established an INVESTMENT FUND, Bill & Pat would raise equity capital on each transaction. They would find the deal first and then find the equity second. That can be burdensome…if you have too many due diligence items coming at you. You can go from ZERO to 100 miles an hour during the acquisition. Bill & Pat found a way to raise capital throughout the year…with an investment fund. They used their institutional investing background to create a possible better way to help in the capital raise.

Episode 177 - No analysis paralysis here - 3 apartment purchases within 12 months

Beware of internet scammers when it comes to raising money for apartment investing.
In the first part of the podcast, Paul discusses a real problem that recently occurred to one of his borrower. The sponsor’s email address and database were hacked. The scammers sent out emails to the borrower’s investor database asking for $250,000 for additional rehab on an apartment building owned by the borrower. The scammer offered an unbelievable 45% rate of return. The scammers false email address was close to the borrower original- except a small “i” was added into their faux email address. Fortunately, a few spelling errors were caught by alert passive investors that felt that the email was fake and reported it.

Episode 176 - Transitioning from Wall Street to Apartment Investing: now owns over 500 units

Tauheed Saddiqui spent years working for banks and hedge funds. He would spend days on the road raising money from institutional investors. He loved it; but traveling was killing him and hurting his young family and wife. He needed to make a change and decided that real estate was going to be his new “9-5” job. He found that Wall Street was “advanced calculus,” and Real Estate was not even “algebra- but simple mathematics”. He replaced volatility with predictability. In Real Estate, he felt you were not going to lose 20% of its value over night. Tauheed liked that math and explored residential and commercial real estate. His first project was the construction of rental duplexes. He was hooked on Real Estate after building a 32 unit property. Tauheed wanted to own more units without using ALL of his own money. He found that raising money through a syndication was the ideal way to acquire, rehab and stabilize large, older apartment buildings. Listen to Tauheed’s journey into real estate syndication.
