A deal only works if the numbers work in real life, not just on a spreadsheet.

Do you know how to limit your risk of being wrong when underwriting commercial real estate? Our podcast guest, Julie Anne Peterson of Old Capital shares why strong underwriting goes beyond assumptions. Before moving forward on a deal, she says first, talk to three key people: the tax assessor, an insurance broker, and a property manager to get their numbers on the deal.

Why? Because taxes usually change after a sale, insurance costs increase accordingly, and projected rent growth needs to match what’s actually happening in the market. Your property management team needs to give input and agree the projected rents are attainable.

The best investors don’t guess. They build their decisions around real data, local expertise, and honest feedback from the people closest to the deal.

Julie Anne has many tips in this podcast. Listen to the full episode. The link is in the comments. Like, share, and/or comment for Pivotal Points!

DON'T DROP YOUR LIFE INSURANCE!

It covers a sure bet. Someday, you will die. That is for sure. If you are thinking it does not have any value, maybe an extension is expensive, talk to the experts. Some people invest in sure bets, and they may like your policy. If you have paid on a policy for years, you likely accrued value. It does not have to have a cash value. Think twice. It may have some important value contribution to you or your family. The cash may help with bills, long term care, etc. Call Matthew Paine for more information.

This is one high-flying business man! Glenn Hanson is a pilot and a highly successful business man. He asks us to ponder, ‘What if your business operated with the same precision as an airline?’

Glenn points to powerful proof from the aviation industry. Success isn’t built on taking things day-by-day, it’s built on systems, checklists, training, and consistency. In an industry where mistakes are deadly, we see that systems, discipline and preparation are absolutely necessary and bring a great deal of safety by reducing risks.

The same principle applies to the real estate investment business. As operations grow, having clear processes and procedures, constant process improvement (using checklists, training, systems, etc.) becomes essential for limiting risks, reducing errors, achieving success, and scaling effectively. Glenn is the Founder and CEO of Colony Hills Capital, a multi-million dollar privately held real estate investment firm focused on multifamily investments. Glenn is a very forward-thinking leader with a long track record for success in multiple industries.

Glenn’s takeaway: The businesses that scale successfully aren’t just working harder, they’re building systems that create consistent results.

The best time to invest is often when everyone else is afraid.

Kyle Aho shares why he believes today’s market uncertainty could actually create long-term opportunities for investors. Real estate is cyclical and historically, they recover over time and climb higher and higher.

For patient investors, uncertain markets can be the golden key for financial independence and long-term wealth if you properly vet opportunities.

The key is to look beyond the headlines and focus on the long game.

Do you know the 8th Wonder of the World? Dave Foster tells you about it in his Takeaway for listeners on our podcast Pivotal REI. Compounding! Wealth grows slowly, but compounding is what makes it very powerful.

That’s why strategies like 1031 Exchanges are so valuable. Instead of losing use of money by paying taxes, doing a 1031 Exchange lets you keep using it until you sell the new asset. If you do another 1031, that same capital, and potentially more keeps growing and growing. That is why many like to say they will 'Swap til they Drop'!

The biggest rewards in real estate often come from patience, consistency, and playing the long game. Compounding rewards that.
