Today's episode of The Real Estate Investing for Cash Flow Podcast features real estate investment expert and serial entrepreneur, Victor Menasce.

Victor held senior roles at several firms in the high tech industry for 25 years before deciding to become full time with real estate 9 years ago. He has since touched on ground up RV communities, multi-family and residential developments, and much more.

Today he sheds light on a particularly unglamorous side of the business: rough patches and how he was able to weather them out to still achieve success.

Quotes:

"I wasted a lot of time and probably wasted a lot of money basically going back and entering that business from the bottom of the business as opposed to coming into that business from the top of the business."

"One of the perspectives that I always take when it comes to real estate projects is to make sure that those projects have enough margin to be resilient."

"The key in the success for any active business is the team."

"You want to make sure that if there is strong demand that there is some kind of constraint on the supply side."

"The number one mistake I see a lot if investors make is that they are starting projects that are too small and one of the consequences of that is that you can't afford the skills that you need to properly fill out your team." Highlights:

Quotes:

"I think that one of the things I learned earlier on is that art of delegation."

"I'm a big believer that if you can't measure something then it's very hard to manage it."

"I look at syndication, the syndication space, and go, 'If you have a background in business and you can actually manage large budgets, then it's a pretty easy transition.'"

"I practice two things: I make sure I have a hard day's work and a clear conscience."

"I cannot control what happens to the market in the next few years, but I can tell you this: if something does happen in the market, I would rather my money be in multifamily or some form of real estate before I would want it in the stock market or mutual funds or bonds or things like that."

This episode of the Real Estate Investing for Cashflow Podcast features real estate investment expert Sean Katona, owner of Simplified Properties. Sean is an expert investor, landlord and a national speaker. His business focuses on the retail sector, revitalizing shopping centers and apartments for maximum returns.

Kevin and Sean dive into ways to stabilize property post acquisition and improve the community by increasing foot traffic in businesses. Sean also also talks about the change in retail and the importance of differentiating the uses and physical presence of retail businesses.

Quotes:

"Upon closing we are immediately able to execute a couple of leases and so you just hit the ground running with momentum and that makes your bankers and investor partners feel good."

"Right out of the gate, we improve the landscaping. We reseal and restripe the parking lot. We upgrade some lighting into LEDs. We remove some old signage. When you see that happening in a community, with a building that's maybe been tired or forgotten, people take notice. The tenants see that.. And so it helps be able to tell the story of new managers or new owners here who want to improve the center."

"Once we have some of those things to showcase, we start having conversations with the tenant."

"Leaving the house is a true adventure and there has to be some serious value in that at the end of this. We get a lot of food delivered but we still go out to eat a lot."

"What I'm trying to do is support the heck out of my brokers and I do a lot of marketing."
