Apartment syndication is a hot topic. Apartment syndication in Phoenix is an even hotter topic. Apartment syndication during times of COVID-19 is a blazing hot or frozen cold (depending on who you ask) subject. Sam and I have a very in-depth discussion with the buys at BP. And what's interesting is that we recorded the first half before COVID-19 hit, while the second half was recorded two months into the pandemic. [ 30 more words ]

A black swan is an event that is so far outside of the norm that it cannot be reasonably anticipated by markets and investors. I think it’s fair to characterize the COVID-19 pandemic as such an event. I have my thoughts on what the outcomes may be, but I need more data on the ground before I consider approaching any prognosticating. [ 173 more words ]

This article first appeared on BiggerPockets.com on 11/17/2019 Do you hear yelling? The market is too hot. Oh, no! We are at the top. Oh, no! It’s a bubble. Too late to buy. It’s a bubble. Oh, nooooo! Best to wait for the crash… A few years ago these same voices were yelling: There is no money. Oh, no! No one is lending. [ 1,188 more word ]

The equity stack for our next purchase is over-subscribed. I can take a minute to collect my thoughts. This will be short and to the point, but hopefully, you'll get value! Three Advantages of Low Cap Rate Markets The Cap rates are compressed all across the country, as you know, as they have been. When the interest rates came up about a year ago, the cap rates did not inflate. [ 373 more words ]

I did not mention in the article that came out yesterday, but this next acquisition will be a 94-unit community in Mesa, AZ. Which, for a lack of a better way to put it, is about to blow the hell up! Sun Crest Is Special Historically, our basic approach to value-add investing has been to buy in transitional submarkets, where no one has tried to offer a higher level of product, and to offer exactly that - a higher level of product.

This has been an insane year so far...and that may very well be an understatement. Sam and I bought three apartment communities in 12 months, and we will be closing on another one soon. I've been very busy, and this has manifested in many ways, one of which has been lack of new articles on this blog. And I feel bad about it. [ 763 more words ]

In a short time, my company closed on $40 million worth of real estate. We bought three apartment complexes and are on the lookout for more. Getting to this point was a journey, one that required maturing as an investor to the point of syndicating large assets. Following the steps outlined here, you...
