Real Estate Investing for Cash Flow with Kevin Bupp

Kevin Bupp welcomes you to another episode of the Real Estate Investing for Cash Flow Podcast with real estate investment veteran Welcome Wilson, who shares anecdotes rooted in incredibly rich personal experience during his 6 decades in real estate development.

Welcome is the founder and chairman of the Board of Welcome Group, a privately held real estate development firm that owns 90 manufacturing and industrial facilities comprising 4 million square feet of space in Texas. He has developed 8,000 home sites in 4 counties. He has also developed apartments, retail centers, office buildings, and a hotel.

Quotes:

"Never go against your gut instinct because the expert tells you something like an engineer or an architect and then in your gut you know he's wrong. Go with your gut because your gut knows more about it than he does."


"To succeed in business, you need to have guts and determination. Guts and determination. When he said guts, he didn't mean the guts to get into a fight. He meant the guts to make a pitch to somebody important that's highly in your favor and be able to keep a straight face and look him in the eye and be sincere."


"Don't let success go to your head. The point is, in a good economy, everything works. Everything works. And you're not invincible. And when the economy turns, practically nothing works and you can't assume that everything is going to work out. You have to prepare for the worst because it's coming."


"One rule that I always had is, if you have five and part of the things to do today, start with the most difficult one first. Do the most difficult one first."


"Having the right partners and the right friends are everything in business. You need to give your partners credit. And by the way, don't ever issue an ultimatum especially to your spouse. Ultimatums do not work."

Today's episode of The Real Estate Investing for Cash Flow Podcast features real estate investment expert and serial entrepreneur, Victor Menasce.


Victor held senior roles at several firms in the high tech industry for 25 years before deciding to become full time with real estate 9 years ago. He has since touched on ground up RV communities, multi-family and residential developments, and much more. 


Today he sheds light on a particularly unglamorous side of the business: rough patches and how he was able to weather them out to still achieve success.

Quotes:

"I wasted a lot of time and probably wasted a lot of money basically going back and entering that business from the bottom of the business as opposed to coming into that business from the top of the business."

"One of the perspectives that I always take when it comes to real estate projects is to make sure that those projects have enough margin to be resilient."


"The key in the success for any active business is the team."


"You want to make sure that if there is strong demand that there is some kind of constraint on the supply side."

"The number one mistake I see a lot if investors make is that they are starting projects that are too small and one of the consequences of that is that you can't afford the skills that you need to properly fill out your team."

Highlights:

[05:27] Victor's challenging entry to real estate


[12:45] Case study: a deal that didn't go as planned


[26:31] Details on taking over the deal

[33:31] How to report good and bad news to investors


[35:51] Overview commentary on the market
