Real Estate Investing for Cash Flow with Kevin Bupp

Ajay and Manu Gupta are the CEOs and managing directors of Indus Communities. 

Indus was founded on a simple, yet powerful idea: to transform neighborhoods and lives. Since 2002 their team has been committed to making neighborhoods stronger and safer by revitalizing communities in the greater Houston area. As a family-owned business, we have made a conscious choice to pay our success forward by helping our residents who live in our properties along with their family and friends. This philosophy also extends to our employees who proudly own 25% of the business.  

 

Quotes: 

“We’re closing on a 400-unit property, 396 exactly. It’s a great opportunity. We actually looked at this property in March and had it under LOI and not because of the Corona Virus, but because of property taxes here. Their property taxes tripled this year, so the underwriters couldn’t underwrite it anymore so we had to drop it and things got mitigated and things got better, so we got the deal. So, there is some action out there, and we think in the next 6 months it will improve and there will be more transactions.” 

“Don’t stretch yourself too thin. Invest only what you can invest. Don’t re-mortgage the house, don’t take out a second loan. Sometimes you see that investment and it looks great, but you have to be careful because at the end of the day you have to make sure that you're comfortable and safe in your financial planning.”

Yoann Hispa is the CEO and co-founder of Landgate.com. 

LandGate is an open Property Rights Marketplace that provides free listings of mineral assets, wind, water, solar, timber, cell tower rights, and more.

Quotes: 

“We need to calculate how many resources are in place and how much can be exploited, how many more wells can be drilled to exploit that resource. And, when those wells will likely be drilled based on recounts and activity from operators. Then, based on SEC reserves, we need to tie these future cash flows to a reserve category and risk them. At the end, you just add up all of those cash flows and you end up with the market value.” 

“Diversify your portfolio with a lot of real estate investors and get some actual resources in there.”

Matt Faircloth is a Real Estate Investor and founder of the Derosa Group. 

Under Matt’s leadership, DeRosa has completed over 30 million in real estate transactions including apartments, mixed-use buildings, office buildings, fix and flips, and tax lien investments.  Matt has extensive expertise in connecting passive investors to lucrative investment opportunities through syndications, private loans, and joint ventures.  

 

Quotes: 

“With the smaller deals, it was easier in that sense because once they filled out the form, it’s a smaller base, it’s manageable. I can close in a day. With 85 investors, it’s just more heads to manage. In some ways, it becomes like herding cats. You have to respect that when investors want to invest a significant amount of money with you, $50,000 is a ton of money. And so, they are going to want to discuss that with you. So, you have to set aside the time to have those calls. With larger raises, you have to set aside more time. “ 

“Don’t quit. When things get tough, don’t quit. Just try on something new. Have faith, and just try something new to get you to where you want to go. When times get tough, it’s not a time to drop your goals. It’s a time to just try a different method to get there.”

After college, Mike entered the corporate world and has had a successful 20+ year career in Medical Sales with the last 15 years spent in the Medical Device Industry.

Quotes: 

“Having such a long solo investment career, you get used to making all the decisions, and making them quickly and decisively and not having to discuss and walk through them with anyone. Which, can be good and bad. If you make decisions on your own, you don’t have someone to bounce it off of and you can prone to mistakes whereas partners give you that option.” 

“Especially in today’s COVID world, stay persistent, and don’t give up. Both of my last two deals took us 6 and 9 months just to get to an LLI stage, so especially with everything going on right now, keep your eyes on the prize, stay persistent, keep trudging ahead, and don’t give up.”

This week’s episode of the Real Estate Investing for Cashflow Podcast features Charles Carillo. Charles Carillo is a licensed Florida real estate professional; an Eagle Scout and he first became a multifamily real estate investor in 2006. He is originally from a small town in Connecticut and moved to Florida in 2012. 

While he was growing up, his father owned dozens of commercial and multifamily properties that he self-managed with a small team. This experience was priceless in shaping his future business and real estate investing career. 

During college he started an online payment business that took him to dozens of countries in Europe and Asia to meet partners and clients, forging his passion for traveling. He ran his online business full-time until 2016 when he decided to switch his focus to his real estate investing company. It forced him to hire assistants and start delegating tasks for both businesses. This transformed both companies by freeing up valuable time that could now be used for “high value” activities. 

Unlike other real estate investors that take a “hands-off” approach to property management, he self-managed his properties for years before hiring his first professional management company. During that time, he learned the intricacies of dealing with; tenants, contractors, superintendents, brokers, lenders, and attorneys. He purchased and renovated multifamily properties; some completely vacant and turned them into profitable investments that he still owns today. 

In 2016, he founded Harborside Partners, a real estate syndication company that offers other active investors and passive investors alike, the ability to partner with him and purchase larger, more profitable assets. Currently, he has invested in over 250 units, worth over $25 million. He has designed an easy to navigate website that delivers volumes of free education along with a blog that features educational articles and the latest real estate news. 

Additionally, he hosts a real estate investing podcast called Global Investors Podcast. After years of traveling the world for work, he realized that there were many foreign investors who were interested in investing in U.S real estate but did not know how to go about it. His podcast focuses on international (and U.S investors alike) looking to invest into cash flowing U.S real estate and features detailed essential information in interview format from; attorneys, active investors, passive investors, syndicators, bankers, brokers, real estate professionals, etc. who work with the U.S and international investors. 

For international investors looking to be set up in the U.S to invest, he’s able to walk you through the process and direct you to the correct professionals to make the process as simple as possible. 

 

 Quotes: 

“Just by pulling knowledge off and a couple of hours online, you can really figure out and kind of see the growth of different areas and compare it to the U.S. average and then compare it to other areas that you’ve invested in and then kind of figure out your plan.” 

“We like long term debt and we like doing it with pretty substantial solid reserves. And, that allows us to go in and be confident when we’re working on the property, value-adding on the property, and we have a business plan that we can execute on and that will meet or exceed our expectations on the property.” 

 

Highlights: 

3:47- Charles tells us about his background and his business 

13:08- Charles tells us how he identifies markets outside of his area

“Co-op is what most people in the agriculture business know. A co-op is where a big broker that has accounts around the world with go out and find smaller farmers collectively in places such as Peru that are growing, but they don’t have the connections nor the volume to be able to deal with the big boys (whole foods, etc.) so the broker will come in and co-op with all those small farmers to buy the food from then they will ship it and carry it out to the rest of the world.”

Jeremy leads Roll Investment Group's efforts to seek passive alternative investment opportunities in Real Estate and Businesses in the $500k-$25M range. His focus is on low-risk, non-institutional cash flowing equity investments that are managed by experienced syndicators and low-risk secured (collateralized) short-term loan investments.

Current investments include traditional asset classes such as multifamily, retail, and office, as well as niche asset classes such as mobile home parks and self-storage facilities. Additionally, Jeremy has investments in residential real estate and notes, ATM machines, cash flowing websites, hard money real estate loans, and other relatively low-risk cash flowing opportunities.

What You’ll Learn:

  • What prompted Jeremy years ago to pull all of his money out of the stock market and place it into a diverse range of passive real estate investments.
  • Why he feels that passive investments are an ideal fit for busy professionals who are seeking diversity and lack the time necessary to successfully operate the day to day of an active investment property.
  • Why he’s been sitting on the sidelines since 2016 and when he anticipates he’ll jump back in.
  • What his favorite asset classes are and why mobile home parks are at the top of that list.

Our guests for this episode is Multifamily investor and friend, Tim Bratz

Tim began his career more than a decade ago in the competitive New York City real estate market working as a broker leasing ground floor retail units. Here, he saw the true potential of real estate to transform lives and create massive wealth. Although Tim was limited in means, he spent his time reading, attending workshops, and networking with accomplished entrepreneurs learning that being resourceful was the ultimate path to becoming successful.

In 2008, shortly after the real estate bubble popped, Tim quickly adapted and using a credit card, increased his limit and then wrote himself a balance transfer check to acquire the cheapest property he could find. Armed with his personal investment and plenty of sweat equity, Tim transformed a rundown duplex and turned a profit on his first deal. He then took those proceeds and reinvested them, while seeking private capital to expand his growing company.

Today, he and his team have amassed an impressive multifamily portfolio consisting of more than 3,000 units across multiple different markets.

For the last decade, Sunrise Capital Investors has focused exclusively on the niche of mobile home park investing. The niche aligns with our investment thesis and has served our investors well for many years. Our team was ahead of the curve, touting the merits of the asset class long before mobile home parks became the darling of private equity. Today, we see similar opportunity in another under-the-radar, niche real estate investment: parking.

Parking aligns with our investment thesis, and we feel the niche is roughly ten years behind mobile home parks in terms of the industry’s consolidation phase. This provides sufficient runway to roll up a nice portfolio of parking assets while the niche is still overlooked. The remainder of this special report outlines the top ten most attractive aspects of parking investments.

What You’ll Learn:

  • What’s driving the shrinking supply of available parking
  • The reasons behind the growing demand for parking
  • The fragmentation of ownership in parking that makes it ripe for a large consolidation effort
  • The unique NN and NNN lease structure that creates a very stable, cash flowing opportunity.
  • Why, at present, there is very low competition for this asset class
  • What makes for the ideal location of a great parking asset
  • How technology has played a major role in the parking sector, thus allowing owners to maximize revenue 24/7
  • The attractive low maintenance aspect of parking when compared to other investments such as Multifamily and Commercial Buildings.
  • The amazing tax benefits that parking benefits from including the accelerated 15-year depreciation schedule
  • What underlying fundamentals make parking an incredibly recession resistant investment
  • And much more…

Justin specializes in hotels, motels, inns, and lodges, in addition to commercial and multifamily properties. In addition to his real estate investments, he has published, edited and written for over a dozen international investment newsletters. He launched the US version of the Fleet Street Letter, the oldest continuously published newsletter in the English Language. One of his employees was a young Porter Stansberry. Justin is the founder of Seeds of Wealth, a program for getting children to adopt good money habits from an early age. He is the editor of the Seeds of Wealth Quarterly Investment Update Bulletin.

His investment approach to real estate can be summarized as follows: 1) I only buy income-producing properties at cash-flow prices; 2) I adequately capitalize each property. 3) I buy at or below market value. 4) I follow cash-flow fundamentals to avoid bubble markets. 5) I finance conservatively, preferring fixed-rate loans; 6) I choose our tenants as carefully as we choose our properties.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How Justin got started in smaller multifamily properties back in 2002 before shifting his focus into heavy value-add hotel properties in highly desirable locations throughout Florida.
  • How Justin has been able to “stand out” from all the competitors on major booking sites such as booking.com, Travelocity. Com, and the many others
  • Why he prefers exterior corridor hotels over interior corridor properties.
  • What “best in class” means to Justin and what specific tangible and intangible benefits he offers to help set him apart from the competition
  • Why Justin prefers to abandon the “Flag” also known as the national brand name, when acquiring a new hotel property.
  • How Justin retrains existing staff members upon acquisition and allows those who won’t conform to the changes self select out versus going in and cleaning house and hiring all new staff.
  • Why Justin involves his staff in the annual budgetary planning process. Additionally, how he gets them involved in understanding the profit and loss of each property and the significant benefits that come as a result.
  • And much, much more…
