  • EPS 313 - “Maximize Your Returns: Why Investing in a 12- Unit Apartment Building Can Boost Your Real Estate Portfolio!”
    Nov 14 2024

    Before Matt and Melissa Mettry purchased a 12-unit apartment building in Dallas, they had already gained valuable experience as passive investors in several multifamily syndications. Through these investments, they learned just how crucial the role of the general partner (GP) is to the success of a project. To them, the general partner was like the captain of an airplane—responsible for navigating the journey, making key decisions, and leading a team of limited partners (LPs) to success.
    Inspired by their experience, Matt and Melissa decided it was time to move from the "passenger" seat to the "cockpit." They wanted to take an active role in real estate, but they also understood the importance of starting small. Their goal was to first learn the ins and outs of managing a smaller multifamily property before scaling up to larger, more complex deals. They were determined to take it one step at a time, mastering the fundamentals before making bigger moves.

Listen to their reasoning and read their business plan. See if it makes sense…BEFORE you invest your hard-earned money.

  • EPS 310 - YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO JACK COHEN. Period.
    Oct 2 2024

    Jack Cohen is a legend in commercial real estate. He is the DARK KNIGHT in commercial real estate. He was the former CEO of Cohen Financial for 25 years. Cohen Financial was one of the largest commercial real estate lenders in the nation. Jack chats about his 40+ year history in commercial real estate investing and lending. He brings interesting questions to the table:
    “When investors look at their investment processes, as well as the investments that they made during 2019-2024, what have they learned? What worked? What would they have done differently?
    ALL of us backed projects and sponsors during this period that ultimately played out very differently than we thought. Some played out better, some played out worse, than we thought. What can we learn from this?
    Can we finally agree that cash flow matters? That our space – Commercial – is defined by income producing real estate. That means we actually must underwrite tenants’ capacity to pay rent as well as a sponsor’s ability to manage expenses properly.
    SOFR has gone up and today the marketplace is mostly financed with short term floating rate loans. Did we not learn this lesson in the 1990’s with the failure of Long-Term Capital Management? The punchline is to match duration of assets with liabilities. Borrowing short on a long-term asset has its risks.”
    WOW!!
