Kevin Bupp

Our guest for this week’s show is Commercial Real Estate Investment Expert, Bill Shopoff

Bill’s experience spans more than 35 years and includes the acquisition, development and/or sale of more than $4 billion of real estate and real estate-related investments, including 50,000 units of multi-family, 1.5 million square feet of retail, and 5 million square feet of office and industrial properties.

I think it’s safe to say that Bill has been there and done that and I’m positive that you’ll gain a ton of knowledge from our time spent together.

Here’s What You’ll Learn:

How he got his start in the brokerage side of the business before transitioning into land development.

Why Bill feels being a broad based value-add opportunistic investor versus an asset specific investor has been a big part of his overall success.

Details on a recent $48.5 million dollar retail power center acquisition in Reno, NV and his plans to take the center from 71% occupancy to 93%+ within the first year. In fact, hear the details on how his team was able to secure a good amount of LOI’s on the vacant space before even closing on the property.

The reasons behind his companies short-term hold strategy and why he focuses on an average of a 3-year holds versus long-term cash flow plays.

The challenges that he feels the retail sector is facing in the future and how his firm is adapting to these market shifts.

What his crystal ball is telling him about the real estate recovery and what his company is doing to prepare for any coming shifts.

Why he is a firm believer in the old adage “you make your money on the buy”

Why he suggests that every real estate investor reads “margin of safety” by Seth Klarman but I will warn you, the book is no longer in print and a used copy will run you $800 on amazon.

Why reputation and integrity is everything in this business and why he feels that these two items should be first and foremost when building your business.

And much more

Our guest for this week’s show is Mulit-family Investment Expert, Jeff Greenberg.

In today’s show we’re going to be speaking with Jeff about how he got his start as a Multifamily and how he has been able to build a 700+ unit portfolio of cash flowing multifamily properties all while working a full-time job. And if that wasn’t enough, Jeff also leads 3 different real estate investment clubs in Southern California.

Jeff’s story is proof that it’s possible to become a successful commercial real estate investor while working a full-time job as long as you’re willing to put in the time, get the proper education, and align yourself with the proper people within the industry. The point I’m trying to make by telling you all of this is that there are no excuses of why YOU can’t build a CASH FLOWING commercial real estate portfolio while working your current job. The proof is right here ladies and gentleman!

Here’s What You’ll Learn:

Learn how Jeff pulled off a syndication on his very first multifamily deal and what he learned from this experience.

What attracts Jeff to some of the smaller Texas markets and how these smaller markets are performing for him.

How he finds quality deals on often times overpriced loopnet listings.

How he uses local real estate investment clubs as well as bigger pockets to find investors for his deals.

The one thing he would have done differently in his real estate business given the chance to start over again.

Why he feels that mentors are critically important but why there is absolutely no need to have them local. In addition, Jeff speaks to specific advice on how to find a mentor.

The reasons he feels that real estate gurus do new investors a disservice by portraying real estate investing as an easy business.

And much more

In today’s show we’re going to be speaking with Matt about how he got his start as a Real Estate investor after hitting rock bottom and how he has been able to build a significant portfolio of cash flowing passive real estate investments with very little of his own money and bad credit.

Matt holds a very diverse portfolio of investment types including multifamily and single family and shares with us the many reasons why he prefers the diversity of owning both types. In addition, he also shares with us his unique perspective on the shirting real estate cycles and how he and his team are both adapting and preparing for a future correction. And in case you are familiar with who Matt is, he’s a fellow podcaster who runs numerous real estate related podcasts, with the most popular one being Epic Real Estate Investing.

I actually recorded this show with Matt a few months back and so you’ll hear us talk about a few things that are a little dated like the election, which hadn’t happened yet. I’m absolutely positive that you’ll gain great value from our show together as I know I did.

Here’s What You’ll Learn:

How Matt got his start in the Real Estate business with little money and bad credit after losing everything in his prior business.

The story behind his first investment and how he took a large single family residence and converted it into a legal 4-plex and what he learned along the way.

The reasons he feels that the safest place to invest is in cash flowing real estate, and as long as you buy right, you should be safe even in a down market.

The single biggest challenge he sees new investors face who are just getting started as a real estate investor and a few suggestions on how to overcome the common hurdles.

The big myth behind “no money down” real estate investing and how not to get sucked up in this mindset.

Why he feels that the follow-up process is the most important component of the acquisition cycle.

The multiple “out-of-the-box” methods his team is utilizing to uncover deals in this very tight market.

The struggle his business experienced when their primary property management company who was managing 100’s of units for them, went belly up. Matt will share how he overcame this challenge and how his business infrastructure has changed to avoid this ever happening again.

How he has been able to scale his RE business to the next level by utilizing syndication and use other peoples capital to build his portfolio.

And much more

In this weeks show we’ll be speaking with commercial real estate developer and investor, Allan Glass. Allan is what I like to refer to as an “opportunistic investor” and specializes in seeking out incredible investment opportunities within transitional markets. Unlike myself, Allan doesn’t focus on just one asset type, rather he invests in whatever is in high demand and will provide he and is firm significant return on their investment.

I’m positive that you’ll find a ton of value and inspiration in our show with Allan.

Here's What You'll Learn:

How he got his start in the real estate business and dealt with learning the business during the real estate downturn of the early 1990’s

Why he focuses on neighborhood scale developments in areas that is already transitioning but is not yet fully realized.

The reasons he considers himself an opportunistic investor and doesn’t like to specifically focus on one asset type.

Why he prefers to focus on “getting in and out” of a property versus holding on for long term cash flow, which is our preference.

Why he recommends that new investors focus on finding great opportunities and believes that if the deal is strong enough, the money will chase after it.

How to identify all the “what if” scenarios and map out a well aligned investment plan when dealing with partners and investors

The opportunity his team recently saw in a 25,000 sq. ft. industrial building and are currently working to reposition this manufacturing space into a highly desireable bio-tech space for growing companies.

How to uncover opportunities by identifying a higher and better use and repositioning the property to fit those uses.

And much, much more….

In this weeks show we’ll be speaking with commercial real estate investor, Ash Patel. Ash is quite the visionary as he commonly takes vacant and/or commercial properties and repositions them into highly valuable investments. And the best part, Ash did most of this all while working a full-time IT job. He has since gone full-time as a Real estate Investor, but you could say that he built a very successful real estate investment business in his part-time.

I’m positive that you’ll find our show with Ash both inspiring and motivational…I know I did.

Here's What You'll Learn

How Ash made the transition from being a full-time IT consultant to a full-time real estate investor.

Why he prefers commercial investments to residential?

The reasons why he was forced him to remain vacant for more than 6 months in one of his multifamily properties and the lessons he learned from this experience.

Why he feels local bank relationships are paramount in this business, especially when it comes to smaller scale commercial projects.

The opportunity he saw in a vacant single use tenant building that had an abnormally small amount of parking and turn it into a highly desirable asset.

How he’s been able to find all of his recent deals without having to do any direct marketing strategies like direct mail or cold calling.

How he’s been able to hedge his risk from another potential real estate down cycle by negotiating longer terms with his banks and also selling off any of his higher priced assets.

Why he feels that there are a ton of opportunities that exist on the local MLS, not Loopnet or CoStar, but the local MLS.

The reasons he wishes he would have sought out a mentor in the very beginning to help offset his learning curve and how he would have gone about finding this mentor.
