Our guest for this week’s show is real estate investor and special needs housing expert, Glenn McCrorey.

Glenn is a landlord from Iowa who has an incredibly unique and very appealing niche in the real estate space. 
Glenn was able to quit his job in the aerospace field and has moved on to master what I would consider being a hassle-free land-lording business. Even if you’re like me and would prefer to invest in multiple family or commercial investments, I think you’re going to absolutely love it because his business just makes sense.

Jerome Maldonado began his career in direct sales, where he was first introduced to team building, sales techniques, and real estate concepts.  

In 1997, Jerome began to explore business outside the direct sales arena, which led him to be the pioneer of a new construction company which he took to seven figures in less than one year. With much success came the need for expansion. Understanding the simple concepts and benefits of leasing real estate, he purchased multi-use retail and commercial property to house his business. Over the span of his 20+ year real estate career, Jerome has done over $200 million in transactions, with $52 million in 2021 alone. 

Quote:  

“I didn’t build this business model for you. I didn’t go out and say I was going to build an educational platform to teach people how to do this.  I built this business model for myself, for my family.”

Highlights:  

06:33: How Jerome built his real estate experience in the construction industry

Our guests for this week’s show is commercial real estate expert, Brian Murray

In today’s show, we’re going to be speaking with Brian about how he went from being a school teacher with absolutely zero real estate to full-time commercial real estate investor with a multi-million dollar portfolio valued in the 10’s of millions. And if that isn’t enough to impress you, what if I told you his very first commercial deal was a 50,000 sq. ft. office building. Strap your seatbelts on, kids, this is one ride that you’ll want to hang on for!

Here’s What You’ll Learn:

  • How he transitioned from school teacher with zero real estate experience to doing his very first commercial real estate deal, which was a 50,000 sq. ft. office building
  • How he was able to creatively structure the financing on this property even though it was only 50% occupied at the time of closing.
  • How he was able to quickly take the property from a point that it was just breaking even to making a substantial positive cash flow each month.
  • Lessons on how to successfully own and manage a variety of commercial asset types versus just focusing on one type.
  • The process of converting a prior extended stay hotel into a highly desirable apartment building.
  • How Brian utilizes a “low pricing” strategy in one of his apartments in order to beat out the competition and why he feels this is the most profitable way to run this particular property.
  • How to make the switch from smaller real estate investments and transition into larger commercial deals.
  • A few tidbits on how to find the heavy hitter investors within a particular marketplace and how to establish a relationship with them.
  • Why Brian feels that every investor needs to learn the landlord business firsthand prior to outsourcing to a 3rd property management company.
  • And much more

This week we're going to speak with Leslie Himmel of Himmel and Meringoff which is a commercial investment firm based in Manhattan. Leslie is as big as they come as she was recently recognized as the highest-ranking female landlord in New York's commercial real estate market, which is quite an impressive feat.

Honestly, I can't even fathom the sheer magnitude of the portfolio that Leslie has built, which consists of more than 2 million square feet of Manhattan commercial real estate with an estimated value of over $500 million. Listen in as she shares how she’s built such a successful empire.

Zach Lemaster is a Real Estate and Investment Expert.

Zach is a seasoned real estate investor that has accumulated a large portfolio of rental properties across multiple markets including single-family, multifamily, commercial and new construction. Zach started his real estate investment journey while working as an Optometrist & Captain for the US Air Force. The cash flow from his real estate investments eventually allowed him to retire early from his career in medicine to be a professional investor by strategically investing in markets that maximize cash flow, appreciation & equity. 

Quote:

“It's often difficult to have new constructions that are still positive cashflow… so part of our goal is to identify markets throughout the US where we can come into an area, have a build-to-rent model for investors to participate in and to purchase, where they can still have positive cash-flow, strong appreciation, low maintenance…and immediate equity.”

Highlights:

01:58 - Zach tells listeners more about his background in real estate.

04:25 - Zach details his transition from running his own practice to being a full-time investor.

08:30 - Zach discusses his thoughts on rent premiums and build-to-rent models.

15:05 - Zach provides insight into lending, debt, fee development, and more.

17:05 - Zach touches on managing material prices, rent control, and retail markets.

28:53 - Zach talks about managing downsides during inflation.

Our guests for this week’s show are real estate experts and brothers, Andrew & Phillip Syrios

Our show with Andrew and Phillip is going to be somewhat unconventional today because we’re going to be talking about single family investing and why Andrew and Phillip choose to invest in single family over multifamily or commercial.  And as you guys are probably already aware, I’m not a huge fan of single family investments but Andrew and Phillip take a larger scale approach to their investment philosophy, which I can respect.

Here’s What You’ll Learn:

  • How Andrew and Phillip got their start in the real estate game and why they prefer single family portfolios versus multifamily and commercial.
  • What they love about investing in the mid-western part of the country and why they decided to focus all their investment efforts there.
  • The power of building rapport with a seller and how it doesn’t always come down to the highest offer but rather the sellers’ personal feelings towards you – rapport is king!
  • How to build a successful property management company versus outsourcing to a 3rd party management firm.
  • The difference between a Tenant in Common a.k.a. TIC and a Syndication arrangement.
  • The importance of completing a thorough walk-through of each and every unit and how not doing this can burn you big-time.
  • The dangers of underfunding capital improvements on the front-end of a new acquisition and using the cash-flow to supplement those improvements and why this is a big no no.
  • The secret to finding the best tenants, even in the less desirable areas of town.
  • And much, much more

Chad has given numerous interviews locally and nationally regarding the commercial real estate market and has had articles published in Forbes, Western Investor, and Real Estate Magazine.  

Quote:

“I think industrial real estate should scare the average investor—I think that they really should go into it eyes wide open, that if they make a mistake there can be catastrophic losses. I also think there’s an opportunity to make really big gains.”

“That’s the number one thing I recommend to people—suspend the idea that you’re collecting rent and look at that property as if it were vacant. And if you can wrap your head around paying the price that you are being asked, then you can start creating fancy models.”

Highlights:

02:27 - Chad tells listeners more about his background in real estate.

06:12 - Chad dives into his first acquisition.

Today's Flash Back Friday Episode is from Episode #131 that originally aired in December of 2016.

Bill’s experience spans more than 35 years and includes the acquisition, development, and/or sale of more than $4 billion of real estate and real estate-related investments, including 50,000 units of multi-family, 1.5 million square feet of retail, and 5 million square feet of office and industrial properties.

I think it’s safe to say that Bill has been there and done that and I’m positive that you’ll gain a ton of knowledge from our time spent together.

 Here’s What You’ll Learn:

  • How he got his start in the brokerage side of the business before transitioning into land development.
  • Why Bill feels being a broad-based value-add opportunistic investor versus an asset specific investor has been a big part of his overall success.
  • Details on a recent $48.5 million dollar retail power center acquisition in Reno, NV, and his plans to take the center from 71% occupancy to 93%+ within the first year. In fact, hear the details on how his team was able to secure a good amount of LOI’s on the vacant space before even closing on the property.
  • The reasons behind his companies short-term hold strategy and why he focuses on an average of a 3-year hold versus long-term cash flow plays.
  • The challenges that he feels the retail sector is facing in the future and how his firm is adapting to these market shifts.
  • What his crystal ball is telling him about the real estate recovery and what his company is doing to prepare for any coming shifts.
  • Why he is a firm believer in the old adage “you make your money on the buy”
  • Why he suggests that every real estate investor reads “margin of safety” by Seth Klarman but I will warn you, the book is no longer in print and a used copy will run you $800 on amazon.
  • Why reputation and integrity are everything in this business and why he feels that these two items should be first and foremost when building your business.
  • And much more

Jay Balekar is a Real Estate Investment Expert.

Jay is a principal at Compounding Capital Group, a private real estate investment firm that operates more than 5,000 multi-family units in 14 cities, across 8 states.

Jay is a successful business and technology leader with roots in technology consulting. Jay started investing in real estate in 2015 to diversify his investment portfolio. Jay grew passionate about real estate after doing his first few multi-family repositioning deals after realizing the true potential of real estate to create generational wealth, passive income, tax benefits, and a positive impact on society by providing people the most basic need of housing.

Quote:

“One thing I realized was when you actually work as a team, you’re not doing everything yourself…everything is shared which is the biggest benefit when investing together with other people. In retrospect, if there is one thing I could change, I would probably start investing in a group with other people earlier than I did.”

“The lessons learned in any heavy-lift type of project is that whatever you estimate the rehab cost is going to be, just assume it’s going to be 2x…and have enough money raised.”

Highlights:

02:22 - Jay tells listeners more about his background in real estate and his first major real estate investment.

06:32 - Jay dissects how he moved forward after his first major deal and after having no more capital to invest.

08:20 - Jay discusses the challenges he faced during his first renovation project.

15:07 - Jay talks about the lessons he learned that he carries with him into new investments.

16:37 - Jay provides insight into self-management investments and why his company decided to go vertical instead of outsourcing property management.

21:10 - Jay discusses benefits and opportunities within the Cincinnati market and why he invests in it.

23:33 - Jay dives into the real estate team he put together and everyone’s role.

#404 FBF: How to successfully readapt to the ever changing Real Estate Investing landscape in order to maintain relevance – with Alan Pollack

Today's Flash Back Friday Episode is from Episode #95 that originally aired in December of 2015.

Our guest for this week’s show is Real estate expert, Alan Pollack. Alan brings a broad range of investment experience to the table and brings a ton of knowledge to our discussion today. Probably one of the most impressive things about Alan and his business is the way that he’s been able to quickly change gears and re-adapt to the ever-changing real estate investing landscape. Being able to master this skill of re-adoption is by far one of the most important traits of any successful real estate investor…especially if you plan on making this a lifelong career.

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

  • How Alan got his start in the real estate business by dealing in bulk non-performing note acquisitions with local and regional banks that operated in the sub-billion dollar range.
  • How he was able to profit from a little-known niche of dealing with non-profits who were experiencing short sales.
  • Why Alan decided to transition into wholesaling and flipping single-family homes at this point in the real estate cycle and how he targets what he refers to as “situation value-add”
  • How they have been doing more deals by going after listed properties vs. off-market deals which they were finding through means of direct mail campaigns.
  • How he and his team utilize technology to successfully automate the process of researching and making offers on listed properties and have had fantastic results.
  • How he was able to obtain his real estate education from a trusted mentor and why he suggests that having a mentor is the one most important thing that both new and seasoned investors should have in their personal and business life.
  • Why he is currently only focused on quick turns at this point in his business rather than long-term hold strategies.
  • The lesson he learned during the downturn of 2006 on a loan that was held by GE capital which was called due before he was able to stabilize it.
  • Why it doesn’t always pay to be cheap when doing renovations on a property and how using top-grade materials can push your profits to another level in the right markets.
  • How partnering with a more experienced investor can save you money on your loan and funding costs.

Quote:

“I think there are still ways to stay competitive in [the Tampa Bay] market and one of them is the infamous Value-Ad property…negotiate and buy it based on how its performing now with a realistic plan for year 1, year 2, and what are we going to do to help it cash-flow better, generate more income, and reduce the expenses.”

“Rents are always going to lag real estate prices because most leases are locked in for a year or so, and so you see them jump on an annual basis where the sales prices go up on an even curve.”

“One of the things we don’t have in the Tampa Bay market is the high-wage jobs. We don’t have the Silicon Valley in our backyard…we are still a service-based economy, a tourism-based economy, a healthcare-based economy.”

02:32 - Jeff tells listeners more about his background in real estate.

06:32 - Jeff dissects Tampa Bay market growth.

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.”

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

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.

#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’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.

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

Quote:

“We analyze the rent roll and try to assess risk to the upside. So the first is comparing what the sellers in place lost to leases—consider that the least risky then we take a look at a more risky bucket of upside…then we take a look at the riskiest of the three which is the value we are going to create with amenity improvements or whatever we are going to do.”
