Today we’re going to discuss the build-to-rent model.
Build-to-rent, also known as BTR, is an emerging trend that has been gaining significant traction in recent years.

Thu, 08 Feb 2024 - 04min - 472 - EP423 What is Preferred Equity with Paul Moore
Over the past year and a half, the unprecedented rise in interest rates has had many ripple effects across the commercial real estate investing world. These ripple effects have put many investments that were made in the past two to three years in jeopardy.

Thu, 01 Feb 2024 - 05min - 470 - EP422 What to do When You Get a Capital Call with Aleksey Chernobelskiy
Many real estate investors prefer to be passive and avoid the many responsibilities of owning and managing properties. You can do this by becoming a limited partner in a syndication, which affords you the tax benefits and profit participation of owning real estate, without the headaches of actually taking care of the investment.
But investing in a syndication as a limited partner can be a daunting task. How do you know if you can trust the operator, understand the asset class, or even make a profit when all is said and done.
My guest today advises limited partners on existing and future investments, and today he’s going to help us understand how to properly vet LP investments in the grand scheme of our portfolios.
Aleksey Chernobelskiy has underwritten and overseen $10 billion in commercial real estate portfolios in his previous position with STORE Capital.
Lately, Aleksey has had many conversations with limited partner investors who are receiving capital calls from their sponsors. We’re going to discuss how he advises his clients to respond.

My guest today has over 42 years of experience in industrial real estate, and the lessons he’s learned during that period are very timely in today’s high-interest rate environment. His experiences especially during the Great Recession have informed his investment approach to be hyper-conservative.
Joel Friedland has secured over 2,000 industrial property leases and sales, totaling over $250 million in acquisitions. He’s raised over $150 million in private capital, and most impressively, he structures most of his syndications without any debt.
Today Joel reveals the secrets to his successful industrial portfolio, shares the difficulty he went through during the Great Recession, and discusses the lessons he learned that led him to buy properties with little to no debt.

Mon, 11 Dec 2023 - 32min - 457 - EP414 Is Commercial Real Estate Crashing? With Paul Moore
We’re hearing a lot in the media about impending doom in the commercial real estate market. Should we be bracing ourselves for a repeat of 2008 and 2009?
You might have seen Paul Moore’s recent BiggerPockets article titled "What’s Really Behind the Slew of Recent Commercial Failures", in which he urges us not to overgeneralize the term ‘commercial real estate’, and instead recognize that there are many asset classes in many locations, and many of them will be just fine.
I’ve invited Paul back to the show to share his perspective on whether we should be bracing ourselves for a commercial real estate crash, and what he’s hearing from his network on where the distress really exists.
Paul is the founder and managing partner of Wellings Capital, and a best-selling author on multifamily and self-storage.

One of the hottest real estate asset classes right now is industrial. On the surface, industrial investment sounds great – you have a few tenants who pay their rent, all the bills, and sometimes even the property tax. But is it as easy as that?

Shannon Robnett is a real estate developer with a principal focus on multifamily and industrial real estate in the greater Boise, Idaho area. He’s been in this market for over 27 years, he’s a 2nd generation builder and developer, and has been involved in over $425 million of construction projects.

Mon, 20 Nov 2023 - 26min - 454 - EP411 Why We’ll Continue to See Higher Rents Across the Country with Eric Garrett
There’s a lot of speculation right now about the state of the real estate market and the outlook for multifamily apartments. Will we see a steep drop in value, or will sales pick back up once interest rates stabilize? And what direction will we see rents go?
My guest today believes we will see a rise in demand for multifamily housing along with higher rents. As a builder, developer, and investor, he’s in a position to know.
Eric Garrett is the Founder and CEO of The Garret Companies, ranked as one of the fastest-growing privately held companies in America. Since 1999, Eric has owned, developed, and delivered over 73 projects in 17 states totaling over 16,000 units and in excess of $3.5 billion in valuation.
Today Eric discusses the type of apartment developments he builds, what he looks for in his site selection, and how he’s able to control costs by controlling his labor and material supply. Eric will also share why he believes the simple supply and demand equation will lead to higher rent increases.

I've heard horror stories from some of my investor friends in Texas who saw their property insurance costs go from $350 a door to $1,500 a door over the past year.
That made me happy to be investing in Michigan, which is much more of a climate haven that isn't affected as much by the costs of the extreme weather that we're seeing in Texas, Florida, and other coastal states.
But then my insurance company notified me that they weren't going to renew my $7,500 policy on a 37-unit I own here in Grand Rapids. The next best price we could find was $23,000!
That's almost a 200% increase overnight.
Mike Murphy from Brouwers Insurance Agency is my insurance broker on the majority of my portfolio. I invited him to this week's episode of Next Level Thursday to share his insight into the skyrocketing costs we're seeing in the property insurance world.
Mike is going to let us know what to expect with our policies, what we can do to offset the higher costs, and his expectations for 2024.

Spend the night with me in a haunted house!
Welcome to part 2 of our Halloween series on haunted houses, apparitions, paranormal experiences, and the roommates who don’t pay rent and can’t be evicted.

Mon, 23 Oct 2023 - 29min - 447 - Haunted Houses, Paranormal Activity, and Incredible Ghost Stories - Next Level Thursday
In continuation of our celebration of all things Halloween, it's time to bring back this incredible episode we recorded three years ago...
Welcome to our special Halloween edition with hair-raising stories about haunted houses, apparitions, paranormal experiences, and the roommates who don't pay rent, and can't be evicted. We did something similar 3 years ago on episode #94 and it was one of my favorite all-time episodes. Today we go even deeper into paranormal phenomenon and I know you're going to love this incredibly thrilling episode!
I recorded so many great stories that I had to break them up into two episodes: In part one you'll meet a group of paranormal researchers and the retired reverend who has brought them together. In part two you'll get to accompany me to a real-life haunted house in Bay City, Michigan.
I want to warn you that some of these stories will frighten you, and some may even terrify you. If you're easily scared or prone to nightmares, then this is not the episode for you. Aside from the sound effects I've added in, everything you're about to hear is the actual professed experiences of the people involved. These are real people, with real stories of paranormal events that can't be explained, and are even harder to understand.
If you own a home, rental property, or business that is haunted or experiencing paranormal activity, then Reverend Hunter would like to hear from you. You can contact him through his publisher at Thunder Bay Press:

Mon, 09 Oct 2023 - 27min - 443 - How to Make New Construction Pencil Out - Next Level Thursday
In today's economy, its very difficult to make new ground-up construction projects pencil out. With higher interest rates, labor and material costs, and a decrease in construction financing options, we need to come up with alternate solutions to fund our projects.
Your capital stack refers to all of the different sources of funds that you can bring into your project alongside your debt and equity. The more funding sources you can layer into your capital stack, the better the chance you'll have a viable investment opportunity.
On today's Next Level Thursday episode, developer Josh Canale from Great Lakes Development Group discusses the many sources of incentives that you can access for new construction. We'll talk about TIF and Brownfield, NEZ (neighborhood enterprise zone), federal dollars, and other state and municipal incentives.
We'll also discuss where you can go and who you can talk to in order to find all of the capital available for your project.

Thu, 05 Oct 2023 - 05min - 442 - EP405 How to Invest in Discounted, Distressed Commercial Real Estate with Dr. Adam Gower
There’s trouble on the horizon for commercial real estate. Some of that trouble is coming from the office sector, some of it is because of higher insurance costs, and some of it is a result of interest rates more than doubling from this time last year.
What kind of distress are we seeing in the commercial real estate market, and how can we understand it better, so that we can perhaps acquire properties at a discount?
My guest today believes a period of wealth transfer in CRE is upon us, bringing exceptional investment opportunities to both sponsors looking to buy discounted deals, and to individual accredited investors who want to invest in these opportunities.
Dr. Adam Gower is a 30+ year real estate veteran with over $1.5 billion in CRE investment who has taught over 4,800 people how to build wealth, preserve capital, and earn passive income from investing in real estate.
Today Dr. Gower shares his perspective on the economy, the Fed and interest rates, and how different real estate asset classes will respond to this distress.

Mon, 02 Oct 2023 - 31min - 441 - Should We Hire the Seller as Our Property Manager? - Next Level Thursday
In 2021, Charlie Kao and I were considering buying an off-market self-storage facility in northern Michigan. All of the numbers looked great, but the one sticking point was that the seller wanted to stay on as property manager. On top of that, he insisted on being paid twice the going rate for a property manager on a facility of that size.
As a rule, it's never a good idea to hire the seller as your property manager, especially when you're investing in a value-add property. But in this case, there was another group that was willing to hire him at his price. We couldn't understand why they were willing to do that.
Charlie and I were about to walk away from the deal. But then we asked ourselves, "Why is the other group willing to hire him, and how does it actually make sense in this case?"
Check out this week's episode of Next Level Thursday to find out.

Recently, the city of San Diego, California implemented a new program to help increase housing stock and affordability.
They created a bonus accessory dwelling unit, or ADU, program that allows investors to build 10, 20, 30 or more units where a single-family home existed before.
My guest today sees this program as a ‘pot of gold’ for real estate investors, and he’s going to share how he’s been leveraging this program to create new profit streams for himself and his investors.
Shawn DiMartile is the co-founder of Takeoff Capital, a private equity firm with over $50 million in assets under managements spread across 300 units.
Today Shawn discusses the important ways in which ADUs can help increase housing stock, how San Diego has made ADUs a priority, and how he and his investors have been leveraging this strategy in their portfolio.

Thu, 21 Sep 2023 - 04min - 438 - EP403 The Challenges of Converting Vacant Office Space into Apartments with Andrew Hinton
One of the after effects of the Covid-19 pandemic has been an increase in people working from home, and a decrease in the need for office space. This has had a dramatic effect on office buildings as an asset class and continues to be a problem with only half of the workforce returning to the office.
Many developers are considering re-purposing vacant office buildings into residential and apartment buildings. But doing that can be a lot more difficult than it seems.
Today’s guest is nearing completion of an office to apartment conversion, and he’s here to share his experiences, both good and bad. We’ll discuss his challenges working with architects, engineers, and city inspectors, and the delays he’s encountered along the way. Andrew will also share the silver lining that makes it all worthwhile and why he’s bullish on the Baltimore market.

Mon, 11 Sep 2023 - 1h 15min - 435 - Un-Financeable and Seller Wouldn't Carry the Note - Next Level Thursday
In 2021, Jeremy Garcia's commercial realtor brought him a semi-off-market listing for a 14-acre vacation resort located on the shores of Lake Michigan in North Muskegon.
The resort had been closed for two years due to Covid, and the seller's reported income pre-Covid didn't come close to justifying the $2 million price tag they were asking for.
They also weren't willing to consider seller financing, which seemed to be the only way to justify their price since the lack of a financial history made the property un-financeable.
So how were we able to close on this property in 2022?
In this episode of Next Level Thursday, Jeremy and I break down the challenges we had acquiring this vacation resort and the strategy we employed to find a lender for an un-financeable property.

Mon, 04 Sep 2023 - 27min - 433 - Why FEMA Flood Zone Maps Must Be Part of Due Diligence for Investors - Next Level Thursday
Welcome to Next Level Thursday!
On our very first episode we're going to discuss FEMA Flood Zone Maps and why you must include them in your due diligence when buying any type of property.
Both lenders and insurance companies look at FEMA flood maps to assess risk and determine whether you'll need to pay for extra flood insurance—which can be quite costly.
If you're already paying for flood insurance, then you'll also want to re-check the FEMA flood maps because they've been updated in the past year.
I'll discuss my property where we were paying an extra $15,000 in flood insurance, and how FEMA revised their flood maps and I don't have to pay that any longer.

With higher interest rates and the distress we’re currently seeing in the banking and lending arena, investing in real estate has become a lot more difficult lately.

Mon, 10 Jul 2023 - 29min - 424 - EP392 Defending Short-Term Rentals Through Lobbying & Grassroots Efforts With Ryan Servatius and Brian Westrin
Be careful when you acquire your short-term rental properties and make sure you know the prevailing laws and rules in the area you’re investing in. Many cities and municipalities are changing their perspective on short-term rentals and putting restrictions in place that may affect your bottom line.
It helps to work with these cities, their decision-makers, and elected officials to educate them on the benefits of short-term rentals. The better your relationship is with your community and neighbors, the better your chances for success.
Recently at the annual RPOA conference we hosted a panel to discuss these matters.
Ryan Servatius has been in real estate for over 20 years, and sits on the NAR national committee for Resort & Second Home Property Specialists, as well as the State & Local Issues Policy Committee.
Ryan owns and operates Big Blue Rentals, managing vacation rental properties in Southwest Michigan, based in South Haven.
Brian Westrin serves as Michigan Realtors® General Counsel. His role encompasses a concentration in fair housing law and education, RESPA compliance and education, policing unlicensed real estate practice, mortgage fraud, and publications.
Brian is also an active lobbyist at the capitol in Lansing. Brian also facilitates meetings of the Realtors® Legal Action Committee and handles all requests made for legal action fund assistance.

Mon, 19 Jun 2023 - 35min - 421 - EP389 This Out-Of-Work Actor Built a $35 Million Self-Storage Portfolio in Three Years With Cameron Barsanti
Three years ago, my guest was an out-of-work actor who had just lost his wife’s savings on a feature film that he produced. He was collecting unemployment and had a second child on the way. He had very little money in the bank, and the situation couldn’t have been more dire.
So how did Cameron Barsanti go from that down-on-his-luck actor to building a $35 million portfolio of self-storage facilities?
Today, Cameron is going to tell us how he created a system to acquire ten self-storage facilities across four states by cold-calling mom-and-pop owners. He’ll also talk about his first acquisition, an unpermitted 3-unit on an island in Texas where his main tenant became addicted to crack cocaine during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Cameron has a lot of great stories to share, both about his time in the entertainment industry and his transition into real estate investing.

Mon, 12 Jun 2023 - 32min - 420 - EP388 How to Master Relationship-Based Negotiations for Buying Off-Market Properties With Jeff Stephens
Many of us have been in competitive buying situations with multiple offers on the table for that one special property. It’s never fun to lose out to another buyer, and today’s guest has figured out a way to bypass that process all-together.
Jeff Stephens specializes in relationship-based negotiations and prefers to buy his properties off-market and directly from sellers.
Jeff believes you need to ‘solve the person, before you solve the deal’, and today he’s going to show us how that works.
Jeff is also the founder of “The Thoughtful Real Estate Entrepreneur” and the host of the popular podcast "Racking Up Rentals".
Today Jeff describes how he creates seller financing notes that allow him to substitute the collateralization. That way he can sell the property and still keep the note with the terms he negotiated intact. This might sound confusing at first, but trust me, this is a concept you need to understand. It certainly was an eye-opener for me!

Mon, 20 Mar 2023 - 47min - 408 - EP376 Where’s The Money: Creative Financing Options in a High Interest Rate Environment
A year ago, if you wanted to acquire a property there was plenty of money available from lenders at incredibly low interest rates.
Just one year later and lenders have pulled back drastically, and interest rates have doubled.
Those of us looking to get our real estate investments financed are having to accept a new reality that is impacting our cashflow and creating a lot of uncertainty as to whether deals will even pencil out.

Mon, 27 Feb 2023 - 27min - 404 - EP373 How They Treat Their Real Estate Flipping and Renting as a Business Through Teams and Systems with Glenn and Amber Schworm
Today we’re going to talk with a married couple, who together have weathered the ups & downs of real estate investing through good and difficult markets.
Back in 2007, Glenn and Amber Schworm owed $80,000 on their credit cards and had a family take care of. They turned to real estate investing just as the market began crashing.
Still, they persisted with their flipping and renovation business and have since helped others flip over 1,000 homes worth over $85 million dollars.
Glenn and Amber recently published their first book – “The Birth of the Everyday Real Estate Investor”. They've also managed to build teams and systems that allow them to treat their real estate as a business that requires very little of their time.

Today we’re going to discuss one of the greatest threats not only to real estate investors, but to everyone who lives in areas with rising sea levels, frequent hurricanes, forest fires, draughts and intense heat.
Yes, I’m talking about climate change.
Whether you believe it’s real or not doesn’t matter. Because its already affecting every single person who lives in this country.
But for real estate investors there are areas that will actually benefit from climate change – areas that have plenty of fresh water and are considered to be climate havens – areas like Michigan.
My guest today is Lindsay Moore, an economic reporter for MLive who covers the housing markets across Michigan.
Lindsay and her colleague Sheri McWhirter have been writing an excellent series on the affect climate migration will have on Michigan, and whether or not we’re ready for the influx of new residents we’ll be experiencing over the coming decades.

Mon, 06 Feb 2023 - 23min - 396 - EP370 What He’s Learned From Millionaires and Billionaires That Helped Him Close Over $500 Million in Deals with Richard C Wilson
My guest today is a true thought leader when it comes to raising capital from high net-worth and ultra high net worth investors. His book “Capital Raising” is the best book I’ve ever listened to on the subject, and his material on pitch decks is an absolute game changer.
Richard C. Wilson was last on the show in 2019, episode #184, and I’d highly recommend listening again to that conversation.
Since then, Richard has purchased the domain for Billionaires.com where he’s interviewing 100 billionaires. He’s also added a shark from Shark Tank to his team, closed on over $500 million in deals, started over 200 family offices, and hosted 185 live events through FamilyOffices.com
Today Richard shares the different deal and tax-advantaged structures he’s employed with his family offices and high net-worth investors, why he’s focused on his short-term rental and medical office funds, what he’s learned from the billionaires he’s interviewed, the missteps he’s made along the way and the mistakes he sometimes sees other capital raisers making.

Mon, 05 Dec 2022 - 30min - 382 - EP361 How Small-Scale Development Can Create Large-Scale Solutions to Affordable Housing with Michele Williams
Today we’re going to discuss affordable housing and how to create more of it.
Over 10% of the U.S. population lives in poverty and struggles to afford necessities such as housing. Over the past decade our nation has not made any real progress in reducing the number of Americans at risk of homelessness. This has led to a dire need for solutions that increase availability of affordable housing options.
There is an opportunity for small business real estate investors, rehabbers, and wholesalers to use small-scale development to increase affordable housing while increasing their profits and helping their community.
My guest today is Michele Williams who advocates for small-scale development and is on a mission to impact all 3,100 counties in the U.S. through legislation and policies to increase our affordable housing stock by 2031.
Today Michele is going to share the solutions that she sees working all across the country. They include accessory dwelling units (ADUs), small houses, shipping containers and co-housing. Michele also discusses public policy and her method for changing the zoning laws and addressing the NIMBYism that often stands in the way.
