Understanding the importance of detail-oriented communication during the acquisition process is crucial. How does effective communication with brokers and sellers impact successful property deals?

Craig highlights the significance of these relationships by sharing an example involving broker Jalil in Houston.

Due to Jalil's unique relationship with the seller, who preferred working with someone from a similar background, Jalil facilitated a deal where their company was the buyer of choice.

The proximity of a 300-unit property they already owned next door made this smaller acquisition an ideal fit, demonstrating the value of strong broker-seller relationships, economies of scale, and strategic communication in securing advantageous real estate deals.

How Do You Identify a Real Estate Deal Using a Conservative Approach?

In the real estate market, not every lead is a deal. How does one adopt a conservative approach to differentiate between the two before presenting opportunities to investors? According to Craig, it starts with meeting certain criteria. 

For a deal to be considered, it must fit within specific parameters such as unit count and return profile. For example, they typically look for properties worth at least $30 million and with over 150 units.

Environmental factors also play a crucial role. Properties in flood zones or areas with FEMA problems are generally excluded due to the unnecessary risks involved.

A compelling return profile, adjusted for risk, is essential. Despite many claiming conservative underwriting, true risk-adjusted returns fall between a 16% to 19% IRR. This thorough vetting ensures only the most viable opportunities are presented to investors.
