John Bollinger wants to own an empire of apartment units….by 2022…he wants 10,000 units. He started several years ago buying a duplex. He lived on one-side and rented the other side. He got a little taste of being a landlord. He liked having a small "cash register" or a tenant helping him achieve financial independence. Over the next few years, he bought several duplexes and four-plexes and then put together his own repair crew to rehab his properties. He then bought a 25 unit apartment building in the small town of Dilley, Texas. It was the only apartment building in the small town of Dilley. He liked the real estate investing business and wanted to make a career out of it. He reduced his hours at work and increased his hours into "his multifamily business." Today, John owns 174 units. His current portfolio is two assets -110 units in Victoria and 64 units in Kingsville, Texas. He manages his own properties. Listen on how he acquired these assets and what he wants to pursue in the future.

Ken & Wind Yue own hundreds of apartment units. They could not have purchased so many units without the help of happy equity partners. How do you make your equity partners happy? You have to be transparent. How you treat your partner AFTER you have taken their money is critical for your future success. Ken & Wind do an excellent job in treating their 'investing partners' with respect. Problem partnerships can be challenged by poor communication from the managing member to their limited partners. Ken & Wind explain how they keep current and future equity partners engaged and happy with their apartment investments.

Mit Scott and Greg Ford are business partners in the ownership of a large apartment building in Irving, Texas. They originally started with purchasing single family homes, then became passive investors in other people's transactions and now own a large apartment building- while still maintaining their full time jobs. Ricardo asked Mit: What appealed to you most about multifamily in comparison to single family? Mit thought that you could create 'greater value' in a multifamily acquisition than in a single family purchase. Your house is going to be worth relatively the same as your neighbor's home regardless of the finish out or appliances. Your home value will be based on other closed sales of similar homes in the submarket. In the multifamily arena, the value of that business is based on how much income you can generate. The higher the Net Operating Income (NOI) the greater the value you will create on your apartment investment. Mit gives an example on how they created additional value by giving tenants the opportunity to rent parking spaces close to their units. The impact from this marginal parking income has an unbelievable impact on over-all value. Single family ownership is not scalable and apartment ownership is. Greg gives us a real example on how a reverse-1031 exchange works.

You WILL HAVE A PROBLEM with your loan…if the seller does not keep their eye on management operations and rental collections between the signing of the sales contract and the closing date. Lenders can possibly cut back loan proceeds if income declines or expenses rise.

Many apartment buyers are seeking to purchase a DEEP VALUE-ADDED property in a good neighborhood. These types of properties can be tough to find. Brian Holley bought a 160 unit apartment complex a few months ago. It needed lots of rehab to create a better product. He and his team will spend over $20,000 a unit in interior and exterior updating and repairs. Even though the occupancy was in the mid-90% range when acquired; Brian and his team, knew they needed to bring the property to the next level to capture better tenants to pay much higher rents. Listen to Brian discuss the challenges and opportunities he found with buying a deep value-added property.
