The easy way to learn is from others' mistakes. The hard way is from our own mistakes. The tragic way is not learning from either. 

In this episode, I wanted to share with you learning lessons from an actual first multifamily deal. 

1. Reaching up even after the transition

2. Raise more than what you need

3. Create a buffer on financials

4. Go better neighborhood and larger asset

Listen in as I go into the details of this case study. In the hopes that we can both learn from this experience and more...

And for me personally, I believe that for every decision (or deal) we make, we either earn or we learn. It's always best to have both.

After building up our pipeline (lead generation), now its time for us filter those leads to pre-qualify. So here are some of the common triggers heard from either motived and not motivated sellers.

Motivated

• Recent Relocation
• Inherited Property
• Just evicted 
• Ran out of cash

Not Motivated

• Willing to sell for the right price
• Open to hearing an offer 

Always consider the overall tonality of how they say things and trust your judgement in every situation. One way or another, it is to solve a problem, and figuring out how to be in the best position to help the sellers as well. Most often than not, it works both ways. When you solve their problem, they'll solve yours too, It's a done deal!

So, "How did you become a top BiggerPockets contributor?" Thus, I decided to make a video episode to discuss this specific topic. How I got started in the so-called "Facebook of Real Estate"- BiggerPockets.

Disclaimer: Not affiliated. 

1. Started with Forums - providing personal insights

2. Member Blogs - sharing stories

3. Posting Articles - creating content

The idea I got from the book "Jab, jab, right hook by Gary Vaynerchuk" is providing value, value, value, then go for the ask. Quantity vs quality as it is subjective. The market is the market and it will tell you which brings more value to them. You just never know what sticks. It all comes down to consistency.

We got our market, we found a deal, now it's time for us to do our due diligence. What are the things to look for when buying multi-family?

Here's to share with you the most important things to check on top of my checklist.

1. Expenses (T-12, Rent-roll)

2. Income (rent per square footage)

3. Management

Why is this crucial?

Due diligence is the make or break in the buying process, which, if not done accurately, can turn a good deal into a bad deal.

The only limits in our lives are the ones we create with our own minds. The outside world will change until our inside world changes.

I want to share with you the top limiting beliefs in real estate (or even to other businesses)

1. "I don't have enough capital nor I have a good credit rating"

2. "I don't know enough."

3. "It is for only rich people"

We are all passionate about what we do. But because of limiting beliefs about who we are and what we CAN, we sometimes, if not often, never take action on something that could make our ultimate dream become a living reality.

It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives. It's what we do consistently. If you are persistent you will get it. If you are consistent, you will keep it.

In this episode, I would share the ways on how I raised 2.8M in capital to fund a recent deal. 

-Value creation

-Pre-commitments

-Track record

-Consistency

If you're going to ask me, no it was not easy. But with all the energy, time and persistence, it is all worth it. I started with a single-family because I thought multifamily was huge.

"It always seems impossible until it is done."

A lot of people are asking how I got the interview with "Uncle G" Grant Cardone. Why did he agree to be on my podcast? Or why did I agree to have him either way? 

On a high level these are the highlights on how I sold the king of sales:

The ask- "Even geniuses always ask questions."

Staying on the radar- "Creatively following up."

Belief- "I knew that I will make it happen."

One of the learning lessons which I also got from Grant is- You either do the SELLING or you are being SOLD. It applies not just in real estate but life in general.

Whether you think you CAN or you think you CAN'T. You're RIGHT! The decision is yours to make it happen.

A good neigborhood increases the value of a property.

I am a firm believer that, if a community is pleased and happy, they support your business. And if your business is doing well, you can give more back to the community.

So here are my favorite things to do when taking ownership of a property in terms of removing bad stigma aka "rebranding":

-Changing name

-Putting up new signage

-Creating an online presence

-Implementing Exterior Improvements

Taking ownership is also taking full responsibility. We cannot change the community unless we take responsibility for it unless we see ourselves belonging to it and responsible for changing it.

When you work IN your business, your working on TODAY's income. But when you work ON your business, your working on TOMORROW's income. The key here is to build a solid team to work IN your business and while you work ON it. 

In this episode, I'd like to share how I started to build an A-Team for my acquisitions that helped tons in acquiring deals. With just 2 key roles and how to make it work.  

1. Define your list

2. Document your process

3. Delegate

4. Trust and verify

Key roles:

• Researcher
• Cold Caller

I've learned that 30% of all people never believe you (even the one your closest to). So never allow your colleagues or employees to work for you. Instead, let them work as a team for a common goal. Great things in business are never done by just one person. They are always done by a team.

"The richest people in the world look for and build networks, everyone else looks for work." Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki

We always hear that your network determines your net worth.

After 2 years he was able to reposition his first apartment community from a $2MM value to $4MM value as a property manager. He hosts the Creative Real Estate Podcast and had been featured in countless real estate investing podcast. He is a coach, speaker, investor, host, and mentor.
