In 2016, Sherri and Frank founded Kate’s House Foundation, the first nationally accredited sober living homes in Washington State. Together, their mission in real estate is to end homelessness for disadvantaged women and veterans.

Our goal is to have a home that if necessary we could sell to a husband, wife, two kids, and a dog. Our business model created great cash flow that enabled us just to keep growing.” Sherri: “I would say if you want to scale this appropriately, is [to] do what we are always doing which is trying to find the talent in the house to manage it.” Sherri: “I think from day one we realized that a lot of people didn't really know how to live together in a house because they hadn’t had one growing up… so when we look at the tragedies that people have gone through, you have to be sensitive to it but then you have to realize that you are providing a home for the first time and you’re providing a basis for people to launch into a wonderful life.” Highlight: 02:46 - Sherri and Frank tell listeners about their experience with addiction & recovery, what ultimately helped Kate maintain sobriety, and how they got into the real-estate space. 05:32 - They tell us how the last sobriety house Sherri’s daughter, Kate, lived in differed from other sobriety houses she first lived in.

He acquires and holds stable, income-producing multifamily apartment complexes in emerging US markets with long-term capital appreciation. In addition to his investment activities, Prashant also runs a real estate meetup in NY as well as participating in numerous industry masterminds. Quotes: “I feel like the assistant living space, which can be explored further…is there but it’s not like everyone is rushing there towards it because it's more of an operation intensive business.” “[The senior assistant living space] is a very operation-intensive business. We come in as investors, we get it built, but even to do the operation [everything] has to be correct. So we have to find the right operation efficient company to do the work.” “The biggest challenge with residential is to do the operations…number one operations and number two, from a scalability standpoint, getting a loan on those properties.” “From a conversion standpoint, you will buy as a residential home, you will put the money to modify it… so you are talking about nine months worth of delay before you can go into the operation. And then filling up time can be anywhere from 3 to 6 months depending on what you do.” “The biggest factor [at play in hotel to senior housing conversions] is the zoning. You know, if the hotel is empty doesn’t mean you can go in and convert it. It depends on the town and if they’re going to allow for assisted living in that area or not. Number two is the general population, the age group, and what is their income and the demand.” Highlights: 2:04 - Prashant gives us an overview of his background in India, working in the corporate world, and how he got started in real estate. 5:23 - Prashant tells us how he went about managing his first single-family and multi-family investments. 7:30 - Prashant talks about his progression—how he went from his first single-family investment to the world of larger syndications and multi-family investments. 10:42 - Prashant describes his experience obtaining a property out of outward-bound marketing/cold calling efforts. 14:45 - Prashant tells us all about the senior housing space, his growth plans, and what attracts him to this sector. 18:40 - Prashant discusses his first two projects in the assisted living space. 19:18 - Prashant briefs the terms on SPA loans. 20:28 - Prashant talks about the distress aspects of residential and senior assistant investments. 23:24 - Prashant discusses where he’s at in the turnaround process of his assistant living investments. 25:40 - Prashant discusses the challenges of residential housing versus the benefits of the larger scale senior housing space. 28:11 - Prashant tells listeners how single-family to senior care facility conversions work. 30:52 - Prashant dives into senior housing conversions out of extended stay/hotel spaces during the pandemic and what makes a good hotel for this type of conversion.

It’s called mark to market concept.” “One thing I can tell you [is] that when you mix growth and income strategies, the growth projects create tax efficiency… and it creates yield drags on the income projects.

"In the DST's you can also do a cash investment into them. It's not just for 1031 exchange funds... So you do a cash investment today, there's that liquidity event, you can have an option with the current tax law to do a 1031 exchange."

Quotes: “If you underwrite 2-3 deals a day, and write 1 deal a day, that 5 offers a week. You’re going to end up landing way more deals than you know what to do with. At the end of the day, you’re going to lose all of your money by the down payments. You’re going to go broke, but then you bought all of these incredible deals and other people are going to see what you did and you’re going to be able to go out and get investors for these properties. So, at some point, you will spend all of your liquidity, but if you’re buying amazing properties, and other people see you’re able to source deals, manage them, turn them over, and prove them, you’re going to wind up with more investors than you know what to do with.” “You have to have a developer’s mindset to the property. In this competitive market, where commercial real estate is so highly valued, you have to come in like a developer thinking how are you going to improve the asset. What are you going to do to take it from a 4 cap to a 5 ½ cap? How are you going to add value?” Highlights: 2:44- Brent talks about his background and how he found himself in the real estate world 8:45- Brent tells what separates the successful from the unsuccessful in the brokerage world 16:40- Brent shares what makes a top-notch investor and talks about some of his best clients 19:41- Brent talks about how new investors can grab the attention of someone like himself 25:06- Brent talks about market-specific direct impacts that he’s seen on pricing with multi-family assets 33:48- Brent shares about how he stepped into the investment arena and how he juggles that along with brokerage Guest Website: |

Even the most perfect property you look into buying, you will find a surprise or a few surprises here and there. However, you also want a certain set of criteria.

In today’s show, Kyle and I will discuss how to successfully navigate the claims process should you encounter an unfortunate loss to your investment property.
Quotes: “100% of the time we can get you more money than your private insurance adjuster can. Just like you wouldn’t send your 1099 to the IRS and ask how much your taxes are, it’s the same with insurance. You need to tell them this is my benefit; this is my claim.” “Don’t be penny-wise and dollar foolish.

Quotes: “There were companies out buying everything in sight, but we couldn’t compete because we wanted cash flow absent of the tax benefits. We weren’t players. We weren’t out building and developing and buying because we couldn’t compete with the tax credit mentality.” “The basic components that we adhered to, to turn properties around in the ’60s, was I believe in giving a good, well maintained and clean apartment for a reasonable price. And for which, I expect my rent, and I expect it on time.

Grace-ada is a commercial real estate investment firm that specializes in Large-Scale Value-Add Commercial Real Estate in California’s Central Valley. More specifically, Grace-ada focuses on Central Valley office buildings and shopping centers and currently has over $150 million in assets under ownership and $300 million under 3rd party management. Quotes: “It’s a negotiation, but our job is to start, like with any negotiation, with letting our tenants feel heard. We can’t force them into a box and if we do, it will backfire.” “Success favors the bold. There is a lot of value in just taking that next step. There is a great book called The Hard Thing About Hard Things and the core value there is if it were easy to get from A to B, that’s a commoditized thing and it’s going to pay very poorly. In this business, there is very rarely a clear path from A to B, but after a while, you develop 4 or 5 different bread crumbs that you’re able to spot, and you’re able to make a path from A to B that others can’t see.” Highlights: 4:04- Joe tells us about his background and how he found himself in real estate 14:50- Joe tells us if he thinks that COVID is the nail in the coffin for traditional retail and why 23:56- Joe shares how he approaches his tenant’s intentions to continue working and innovate through COVID 27:44- Joe explains what things look like from the lending side of things 35:39- Joe shares and direct impacts that correlate to his investors
