Quotes:
"The strengths of the open-ended fund [are that] you can keep raising capital on a periodic basis quarterly and you can keep making investments and reinvest capital that comes back from the files. It's got its positives. One of the major negatives with any open-ended fund is mark to market on however often you raise capital…you've got to be able to value the portfolio. It's called mark to market concept."
"One thing I can tell you [is] that when you mix growth and income strategies, the growth projects create tax efficiency… and it creates yield drags on the income projects.

In this new book, Brent takes a deep dive into the certain personality type and key attributes it takes to thrive in and build a substantial portfolio of commercial real estate.
Quotes:
"If you underwrite 2-3 deals a day, and write 1 deal a day, that 5 offers a week. You're going to end up landing way more deals than you know what to do with. At the end of the day, you're going to lose all of your money by the down payments. You're going to go broke, but then you bought all of these incredible deals and other people are going to see what you did and you're going to be able to go out and get investors for these properties. So, at some point, you will spend all of your liquidity, but if you're buying amazing properties, and other people see you're able to source deals, manage them, turn them over, and prove them, you're going to wind up with more investors than you know what to do with."
"You have to have a developer's mindset to the property. In this competitive market, where commercial real estate is so highly valued, you have to come in like a developer thinking how are you going to improve the asset. What are you going to do to take it from a 4 cap to a 5 ½ cap? How are you going to add value?"
