How can real estate investors navigate the current market conditions and set themselves up for success?

Angel Williams and Shawn Griffith, two experienced real estate investors, have an insightful conversation about operating in the current market environment. They discuss the importance of specialization, diving deep into a niche, learning operational skills, and diversifying across sponsors and asset classes.

Shawn Griffith is an experienced syndicator across multiple asset classes. While predominately focused on multifamily, he also covers oil & gas, self-storage and ground up development. His upcoming book merges his love of travel and real estate and helps investors to design their portfolio to support their travel habit.

(00:00 - 06:30) Getting Started in Real Estate Investing

• Pick one niche and become an expert in it before expanding
• Residential real estate provides good returns but can be slow to scale
• Having a good sense of your own risk tolerance and capabilities is crucial

(06:30 - 13:00) Navigating Different Types of Debt

• Understand your loan covenants and whether you are in compliance
• Not all bridge loans carry the same risk; know whether yours is a fixed or floating rate
• Even with rising rates, there are financing options to stabilize assets

(13:00 - 19:00) Evaluating Secondary and Tertiary Markets

• Brokers may oversell the strength of a tertiary market
• Proximity matters, even in smaller markets
• Competition is fierce, even in tertiary markets
