    About Our Guest:

    Terry Moore helps real estate investors make the most important financial choice of their next decade. He’s a top apartment broker who has received nine major recognitions, including Investment Broker of the Year, Deal Maker of the Year, Transaction of the Year, and CCIM of the Year. In January 2018, Terry received the inaugural Commercial Broker of the Year award from the San Diego Association of Realtors.

    Terry has long advocated improving property. Over the years, nearly 100,000 residents have lived in apartments that were upgraded by his clients. All of his group investments made money for his investors. Each property he and Sandy have owned was in better shape when they disposed of the asset than when the property was acquired.

    After earning his MBA at Southern Methodist University, Terry worked for the world’s largest bank, owned a hardware store, was a shopping center developer, and then became a hyperactive income property broker.

    Terry has been a commercial broker since 1987. He earned the CCIM (Certified Commercial Investment Member) designation, which has been awarded to fewer than 5% of commercial investment brokers. He has been a member of the national CCIM faculty.

    Terry’s articles have been published in national, state, regional, and local magazines. He wrote the “Trusted Advisor” column in the San Diego Daily Transcript and frequently contributes articles to the San Diego County Apartment Association’s Rental Owner.

    He summited Kilimanjaro at 59 and took up triathlons after 60. In his spare time, he is on track to read 50 non-fiction books this year.

    Terry is an owner of ACI Apartment Consultants Inc., San Diego’s most effective apartment brokerage firm.

    Terry and Sandy have been married 40 years, have been rental owners for 37 of those years, and have been working in the same business daily for most of their marriage. They enjoy active living in San Diego, which will likely include more triathlons, as well as hiking in and out of the Grand Canyon again. Between them, they often read 100 books annually.

  • 013: Creating Intelligent Underwriting in Uncertain Markets with Scott Choppin

    With so many market forces to consider, it may seem impossible to protect your business from upcoming changes that can potentially ruin deals.

     

    Although you cannot control market changes, one way you can insulate yourself is through protective underwriting.

     

    In this episode, we have a very special guest. Scott Choppin, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of The Urban Pacific Group of Companies joins us. He’ll be sharing his experience and knowledge on how to create protective underwriting with enough room to manuever for mistakes since as we all are familiar with, there are no perfect deals in the world of real estate.

     

    If you want to learn how to overcome market changes through insulative underwriting, what the emerging housing demands are in the market today, priceless leadership advice, and other real estate tips and tricks, then this episode is a must for you!

    Episode Highlights:

    • Stuart’s childhood growing up in a family of real estate developers

    • How being an electrician opened his eyes in becoming an entrepreneur

    • His role model to become a real estate developer

    • Multi-earner households: Resilience and economic sharing

    • Workforce housing: A demand that needs growing supply

    • The upsides of targeting multigenerational households

    • Why you must adjust your underwriting models to anticipate risk

    • How to approach uncertainty in the market as a leader

    • Why simpler deals are more profitable

    • Appreciation: Why it can be only influenced not forced

    • Why you must get ground with as many project variables as you can

    • The necessity of assessing the market for reality vs. making assumptions

    • How tenants are also seeking better deals during the pandemic

    • Why leadership and followership are interchangeable

    • How company culture reflects company leadership

    About Our Guest:

     

    Scott grew up as an observer of the real estate development world.

     

    This is because the Choppin family has been active since 1960, which includes the development of the World Trade Center in Long Beach California, their hometown.

     

    However, despite the fact that several members of his family were involved in the business, he never actually considered working in this field when he was young.

     

    It was only when he worked as an electrician that he realized that he wanted to become an entrepreneur and that corporate life wasn’t his cup of tea.

     

    Upon seeing a real estate developer first-hand and recognizing that this man was who he aspired to be, he began a career in this profession.

     

    His company Urban Pacific was founded in 2000.

     

    During this time, urban housing and living downtown wasn’t as popular as it is today.

     

    But upon procuring the help of an expert regarding the future of housing, his company was born and has been in the business for 20 years.

     

    In 2017, there was a lot of competition in this market with the possibility of oversupply.

     

    And so, he set his eyes onto a new target.

     

    He discovered a sector in the market that was being severy underserved, which was middle income or workforce housing.

     

    Scott realized that these naturally multigenerational and multi-earner household was resilient.

     

    More importantly, the demand for this type of housing kept growing in time.

     

    So, from a former luxury background, Urban Pacific has evolved into a syndicator and developer of affordable housing communities.

  • 010: Creating Freedom and Empowerment through Passive Cash Flow with Kaylee Mcmahon

    Money is not the root of all evil. It is only a tool that, with freewill, can be used to create independence for other people.

    Some might need it so that they can take care of their health. Others may want money so that they can spend more time with their families. There are also others who want to be financially independent so that they can have their own space to figure some things out.

    In this episode, I’m joined by Kaylee Mcmahon in one of my best interviews on this show. Kaylee was able to leverage multi-family real-estate to create independence for herself and, at the same time, teach other people how to do that as well. She’s a principle and a general partner, and has closed over $16 million worth of real estate.

    If you want to learn how to become independent using passive income, know how to discern whether someone’s a perfect fit for your team and how to find meaning and strength in the midst of adversity, then this episode is a must for you!

    Episode Highlights:

    • How she got started with real estate
    • Kaylee’s actual team composition
    • The three most crucial positions in the business
    • The importance of working with people who align with your values
    • The distinction between a mentor and a sponsor
    • The definition of a “rich” life
    • How passive income empowers women with codependency
    • Why building a reliable team is absolutely essential
    • Why having your own space is critical to discovering your mission
    • The value of networking and connecting with others
    • Why having a great team results to success in real estate
    • How to shift your mindset to rely on others
    • How to find the right people for your team

    About Our Guest:

    Kaylee McMahon is the Founder of The Apartment Queen, ReByKaylee LLC Residential Real Estate Brokerage, General partner/Key Principle of a 45 MM Assets Under Management Texas, 17.1 MM Assets Under Management Phoenix Arizona, Owner & Principal and General Partner of a number of properties across Texas.

    Kaylee has purchased over 68.2 million in real estate as General partner and principle. She sold over 3 million dollars in residential real estate before transitioning into her current full time syndication role. Originally from Portland Oregon, host of InvestHER Dallas. She has started a podcast called #1 leading ladies where she interviews kick-ass women who are disrupting their industry and the REAL story of how they got where they are. She is developing technology to help make it easy and convenient for women to learn how to make passive income through apartment investing.

    The entire backbone of what gets Kaylee out of bed everyday is her “why”. This is something she will share when asked personally about it, but at a 30,000 foot view it is to create independence and space for those experiencing codependency and toxic relationships which hamper their ability to visualize and then manifest what their amazing reality truly could be. Her company culture models this why and is “Changing the face of multifamily” to bring more women into the light as powerhouse operators, key principles, and commercial brokers. We will create 1 billion more female investors and “givers”.
