Real Estate Investing for Cash Flow with Kevin Bupp

In this episode of Real Estate for Investing Cash Flow Podcast, Kevin Bupp invites Dan Hanford: real estate investment expert and principal at Hanford Capital, a multifamily real estate investing and syndication firm.

He is also the founder the Multifamily Investor Nation which has more than 34 groups and more than 2,000 members all over the world. In addition to that, Dan is also the president and founder of five specialty medical clinics in South Carolina.

Dan shares his entry point in the multifamily syndication space, how he manages his time juggling real estate and a successful medical practice, delegating work to his all-star team, and so much more--all at the young age of 36 years old.

Quotes:

"I think that one of the things I learned earlier on is that art of delegation."

"I'm a big believer that if you can't measure something then it's very hard to manage it."

"I look at syndication, the syndication space, and go, 'If you have a background in business and you can actually manage large budgets, then it's a pretty easy transition.'"

"I practice two things: I make sure I have a hard day's work and a clear conscience."

"I cannot control what happens to the market in the next few years, but I can tell you this: if something does happen in the market, I would rather my money be in multifamily or some form of real estate before I would want it in the stock market or mutual funds or bonds or things like that."


Highlights:

This episode of the Real Estate Investing for Cashflow Podcast features real estate investment expert Sean Katona, owner of Simplified Properties. Sean is an expert investor, landlord and a national speaker. His business focuses on the retail sector, revitalizing shopping centers and apartments for maximum returns.

Kevin and Sean dive into ways to stabilize property post acquisition and improve the community by increasing foot traffic in businesses. Sean also also talks about the change in retail and the importance of differentiating the uses and physical presence of retail businesses.

Quotes:

“Upon closing we are immediately able to execute a couple of leases and so you just hit the ground running with momentum and that makes your bankers and investor partners feel good.”

“Right out of the gate, we improve the landscaping. We reseal and restripe the parking lot. We upgrade some lighting into LEDs. We remove some old signage. When you see that happening in a community, with a building that’s maybe been tired or forgotten, people take notice. The tenants see that.. And so it helps be able to tell the story of new managers or new owners here who want to improve the center.”

“Once we have some of those things to showcase, we start having conversations with the tenant.”

“Leaving the house is a true adventure and there has to be some serious value in that at the end of this. We get a lot of food delivered but we still go out to eat a lot.”

“What I’m trying to do is support the heck out of my brokers and I do a lot of marketing.”

Today's show features Craig Berger, Founder and CEO of Avid Realty Partners, a commercial realty firm focused on hotel and multi-family apartment assets. 

Craig speaks about how he scaled up his company, the challenges he faced along the way, and the successes he enjoyed with his business model.

Quotes:

"It's a less efficient market. It's harder to sell a hotel asset than it is a multi-family asset."

"We were on our downside scenarios. If we lose revenues 30%, how long will our cash last before we're in trouble? If revenues drop 20%, how long does our cash last before we're in trouble?"

"A lot of people don't want to own anymore so the underlying trends and demographics still are very favorably for the multi-family sector. But the prices continue to make me nervous."

"First of all, I'd say, find some good mentors. That's always important. Find some talented people to work with that are willing to work with you."

"Find your passion. Find your inspiration and reach for the stars. You gotta go for it."

"Have cash on hand. Protect yourself. Be willing to make mistakes but hopefully not fatal ones. And make sure you're measuring the downside, the recession scenario, and how long you're going to be able to survive if business shrinks 5%, 10%, 15% from current levels."

"Take some Excel classes. Try to get a basic model out for your revenues and expenses. If revenues shrink 10%, expenses don't."

Discussed in this Episode:

  • Introduction to Craig Berger and his background
  • Evolution of Craig's business
  • How Craig Hedges against risk
  • Deals that didn't go as planned
  • Advice that Craig would give himself 4 years ago
