Key Takeaways

"There's a big difference between rich and wealthy, and a lot of people in our culture are after rich. And rich has to do with income. And you make a million dollars a year, you're a business owner, you're a celebrity, you're an athlete, okay? It's all about money coming in. So it's income. But wealth is about assets and passive income. So I would rather have next to nothing in terms of net worth but be wealthy, because I had more passive income every month than I had living expenses coming in." Travis

"There was one just I think it was last week, a very prominent multifamily investor came out with it was an interview, and, man, the walls were caving in. Are getting ready to and those are the extreme. It's what you just said, where the commonalities? Where's the balance at? Yeah, we get it. As a public speaker, what are key messages that you aim to convey to your audience, and how do you tailor those presentations to different types of investors? " Josh

"And what I'm trying to do is read all ten of these and find the commonalities? Where do all these groups agree? All right, because everyone's going to have an opinion, and you're going to read a lot of different statistics and metrics. But if all sources are saying basically the same thing, like projected rent growth is going to be 3% annualized in the multifamily space, then that's a metric I really pay attention to, because basically everybody is predicting that."

Key Takeaways:

“When we first started this business, especially out here in Texas, we were underwriting our insurance at 400 $600 a unit. Things changed pretty quick. Then there was a big freeze in Texas maybe a year and a half ago, two years or so, and that changed our underwriting. Things went up for insurance wise to $1000 to $1,200 a unit. And even with our deal right now that we have under contract and we're raising for, we wanted to be conservative once again in Texas, in Florida, insurance is through the roof and so to be even as more conservative as we can, we underwrote insurance for that deal at $2,400 a unit, 2400 and they still make sense. “ Eric

“Timely distribution, timely K ones, timely monthly reporting and newsletters and all of those things are really big. So I focus a ton on that. We've got a team of investor relations specialists that we've got two others plus myself. And so whether it's me that's getting back to them or someone on our team, we're always very timely about it. And the second factor I would tell you, that makes us unique is that we're a family operation.. I started this business by myself, but I realized really quick that there was way too many hats to wear and I needed help if I wanted to do this and do it the right way. I've been an entrepreneur my whole life and I've had a few other businesses and in every business that I've had, every single one, I kid you not, I kept hitting this ceiling. We'd see success, we'd see success. But I couldn't ever break past this certain barrier. “ Eric

Key Takeaways

“Financing is a powerful tool. I always say there are two parts to every deal. One's the brick and mortar, the other is the financing. But if you don't do it right, and you're not prepared for changes in the market, it can bring a lot of pain. So that's my biggest takeaway from back then.” Tyler Vinson

“Think that most seasoned real estate investors will tell you that they are relentless educators that they are educating themselves. I educate myself on a daily basis and going and learning from people that are doing it in the spaces that you're interested in. And that's not just the folks out there selling education, pay your local real estate attorney that does wrap contracts and closes seller finance deals, pay them for a couple of hours of their time, go visit multiple CPAs that specialize in real estate and understand that because you want to know how the seller is thinking and what's important to them, as well as the investor, what how do you protect them properly? What's the type of deal structure for that?”  Tyler Vinson

Key Takeaways 

“Business component really pushes cash flow, and you're still able to take advantage of, you know, all the tax benefits that you get with real estate, the depreciation, in fact, hotels, you know, the bonus depreciation for hotels is significantly higher than what you would get for multifamily. And yeah, cuz you have, what bonus depreciation does is it accelerates the depreciation of furniture, especially. So with hotels we have, we have so much furniture in the rooms, I mean, the beds, the windows, the blinds, the desks, all those things are depreciated and accelerated. So you're able to take advantage of the tax benefit. The real estate appreciates over time, if you're a good operator, and you're willing to, you know, put some time and effort and some sincerity into managing your asset, you can, you know, mitigate the costs and that, you know, dollar for dollar impacts your bottom line right there, right. So, there's that huge business component opportunity to the hotel industry.” Sujay Mehta.

"So hotel has a unique component to it. And it's funny that it's, people sleep on it, no pun intended, but, but it's really a Sleeper Class. And the beautiful thing about hotels is that operational heavy component, the reason why people are getting into Airbnb ease, and short term rentals, is because you rent out the rooms every single day, and it's a business, it's not, it's not just a passive, you know, real estate asset that you purchase, you park your money, and, you know, you get 6% or, you know, 8% a year, but you have this operating business component, where you're making money every single day. And so because of that the cash cash on cash return is excellent. " Sujay Mehta.
