Real Estate Investing for Cash Flow with Kevin Bupp

Feras Moussa is a real estate investment expert.

Feras is a tried and true entrepreneur at heart with a tech background. With a computer science degree from the University of Texas, he went to work at Microsoft straight after college. Feras later resigned from Microsoft to ‘bring tech to industries that lack it,’ where he later found his passion for real estate. Feras quickly built a portfolio of rentals, completing 9 closings in his first 12 months. After having seen the results of rentals, Feras later decided to scale up into apartment complexes, where he met Ben and started Disrupt Equity, a company focused on multi-family acquisition and investments for investors

Quote:

“A smart seller is someone who basically sets up the business plan for the next buyer, you want to give them a clear path to what they can do and really help them to build the story.”

“One of the mistakes that we made early on was that we were using third-party accounting.”

“Don't just be the guy that just gets an email and doesn’t ask any questions and tries to go underwrite it –– you are not going to succeed.”

Highlights:

02:28 - Feras tells listeners more about his background in real estate.

05:40 - Feras dissects one of his first deals and what he learned about lending.

10:40 - Feras discusses the company that bought his first deal.

13:39 - Feras talks about his company’s vertical integration.

29:13 - Feras answers Kevin’s golden nugget question.

32:27 - Feras offers some advice to new investors.

Today's Flash Back Friday Episode is from Episode #125 that originally aired in September of 2016.

In this week's show we’ll be speaking with commercial real estate developer and investor, Allan Glass. Allan is what I like to refer to as an “opportunistic investor” and specializes in seeking out incredible investment opportunities within transitional markets. Unlike myself, Allan doesn’t focus on just one asset type, rather he invests in whatever is in high demand and will provide him and his firm a significant return on their investment.

I’m positive that you’ll find a ton of value and inspiration in our show with Allan. 

Here’s what you’ll learn in today's show:

  • How he got his start in the real estate business and dealt with learning the business during the real estate downturn of the early 1990s
  • Why he focuses on neighborhood-scale developments in areas that are already transitioning but not yet fully realized.
  • The reasons he considers himself an opportunistic investor and doesn’t like to specifically focus on one asset type.
  • Why he prefers to focus on “getting in and out” of a property versus holding on for long-term cash flow, which is our preference.
  • Why he recommends that new investors focus on finding great opportunities and believe that if the deal is strong enough, the money will chase after it.
  • How to identify all the “what if” scenarios and map out a well-aligned investment plan when dealing with partners and investors
  • The opportunity his team recently saw in a 25,000 sq. ft. industrial building and are currently working to reposition this manufacturing space into a highly desirable biotech space for growing companies.
  • How to uncover opportunities by identifying a higher and better use and repositioning the property to fit those uses.
  • And much, much more….

Sam Bates is a real estate investment expert.

Sam is a principal of Trinity Capital Group and owner of Paradigm Real Estate Investments. Sam’s background is in financial services, state and local taxes, and real estate. He has been directly involved in the acquisition, rehabilitation, and management of over $200MM in multifamily and single-family assets since 2009. 

Quote:

“Build-to-rent is a very hot topic right now…it can be great, but if we do a build-to-rent we’re definitely going to sell it within 3-5 years. I think if you hold it 10, 15, 20 years there are going to be a lot of maintenance costs that are significantly higher than an apartment.”

“I think the pros of buying existing are that you have basically 60 days to close and you can own an asset.”

Highlights:

01:48 - Sam tells listeners more about his background in real estate.

06:00 - Sam dissects one of his first deals and why they had to kick out their GP.

06:52 - Sam discusses his company’s business plan and his long-term strategy.

31:40 - Sam offers some advice to new investors.

#386 FBF: CRE Industry Veteran of 38 Years Shares the Success Formula he’s Used to Acquire More Than 10 Million sq. ft. of Real Estate in Chicago– with Al Klairmont

Today's Flash Back Friday Episode is from Episode #102 that originally aired in February of 2016.

Our guest for this week’s show is Commercial Real estate Investment Expert, Al Klairmont.  Al has more than 38 years of industry experience and a long track record of success in the Chicago area. In today’s show, Al shares with us the core philosophies and investment strategies that have played a major role in getting him to where he is today. Al and his group currently own 100 Office, Retail, and Industrial properties in the Chicago area with more than 10 million square feet of leasable space. If that doesn’t impress you then how about if I told you that out of all 100 properties he only has very minimal leverage or debt and owns most of it free and clear with no outside equity partners.

 In this show with Al you’re going to learn:

  • How he got his start in the Real Estate business after college and the valuable lessons he learned by managing his father’s small commercial rental portfolio.
  • Why he attributes a large piece of his success to the brilliant staff he has surrounded himself with at Imperial Realty.
  • How Al has adapted over time to the changing real estate cycles which have allowed him and his company the ability to prosper both in up and down markets.
  • The philosophy which he adopted from his father in which they implement an accelerated pay down plan to all properties they acquire and how this has proven a successful model through the numerous decades.
  • Why does his group caters towards distressed value-add commercial properties versus stabilized properties.
  • The numerous reasons he feels that the office building sector is by far the most difficult to own and operate efficiently and is the exact reason why he and his team like distressed value-add office deals.
  • Why he feels that you should never buy based on the current performance of a given property but more so how the property will perform in the future.
  • Why he feels very strongly that if you want something done correctly then you need to supervise the person or persons responsible for completing the task or project.
  • The reasons he suggests that all Real Estate professionals need to become masters at the art of sales and negotiation.
  • And much more

Michael is a 34-year commercial real estate veteran with a proven track record that consists of over $600M+ real estate transactions. He’s a widely known industry expert on Retail Real Estate and Net Lease properties

Michael’s investment interests have run the gamut and have included Institutional partnerships, insurance companies, family offices, hedge funds, and foreign investment funds

Lastly, Michael is a published author and the co-host of the “nothing but net” podcast.  

Quote:

“A net-lease property is also known as a triple net property, and it's also known as nnn or net-net-net property…the tenant pays not only rent, but the tenant also pays for the taxes, the tenant pays for the insurance, and for the maintenance.”

“One of the reasons why we named the podcast ‘Nothing But Net’ is because if you own a triple net property or a net lease property you get nothing but net income…they’re probably the most passive type of real estate investments you can own.”

Today's Flash Back Friday Episode is from Episode #87 that originally aired in September of 2015.

Our guest for this week’s show is Real Estate veteran and best-selling author, Jack Cummings.  In today's show, we're going to speak with Jack about his business, what he’s learned (and forgotten) over his 50+ years in the business, and why he doesn’t plan on stopping anytime soon.

Jack’s experience spans just about every type of commercial real estate investing niche you can think of. From land investing to ground-up development to repositioning apartment properties…and just about everything in-between.

 In this show you’re going to learn:

  • How he got his start after college by working with a hotel developer in Spain prior to moving back to the United States and starting his own real estate company.
  • How he’s made huge profits by purchasing raw land and changing its approved use and then selling to a developer and why he feels this is still a very viable way to make big bucks in commercial real estate.
  • Why he never worries about inflation and why he feels it’s a real estate investor's best friend.
  • The lessons he learned during the savings and loan crisis of the late ’80s and early ’90s and how he was able to thrive during these tough economic times.
  • How to get the inside scoop of where development is going and what projects are currently in the works in your local market by meeting with the local planning department and attending city council meetings.
  • The lessons he learned from a partnership that went south and how he could have avoided it altogether.
  • Why it’s necessary to first have the passion before you can expect to make money as a real estate investor.
  • Why performing due diligence is of no value unless you know exactly what you need to know before starring your due diligence on a property.
  • And much more...

#380 FBF: Confessions of a Commercial Real Estate Investor – with Jim Randel

Today's Flash Back Friday Episode is from Episode #96 that originally aired in December of 2015.

Our guest for this week’s show is Commercial Real estate investor and published author, Jim Randel. I first learned about Jim after reading his popular book many years ago titled “confessions of a real estate entrepreneur”. Like I do with a lot of the books on my book shelf, I often pick them up and scan them as somewhat of a reference manual and after re-reading Jim’s book a few months back I thought that he’d make a wonderful guest for our show.

Jim has a broad range of investment experience and has been involved in just about every type of real estate investment. I think one of the most exciting things about this show today, is the fact that Jim had humble beginnings and got his start like most of us do by investing in single-family homes before moving onto commercial real estate. So in today’s discussion, Jim will share with us his progression from single family investor all the way to a commercial investor who at the time of this recording has more than $60 million dollars of active projects happening.

In this show with Jim you’re going to learn:

  • How Jim got his start by investing in single-family homes before moving on to bigger commercial real estate deals.
  • How he structured the partnership with his first financial investor and money backer.
  • How he overcame his fear in moving from single family home investments to commercial real estate.
  • Why he and his team prefer value-add deals which are located in extremely high growth and high demand areas.
  • What advice he would give investors who are looking to move from single family or smaller residential investments into commercial real estate.
  • What he’s learned from the multiple real estate down cycles that he’s experienced throughout his career.
  • What Jim would do if he lost everything today and were forced to start all over with no money and no contacts.
  • And much more
