#160: How Investors Should Think About Underwriting Exit Cap Rates + What We Use In Our Business

In this solo episode, we'll discuss the key factors to consider when underwriting exit cap rates for multifamily properties. It's crucial to look beyond the current market cap rates, as a higher cap rate per year of hold can help mitigate downside risks. I'll be sharing my personal approach to this strategy and discussing the impact of different macroeconomic factors and supply on cap rates. We'll also touch on the importance of finding quality markets and the potential for outsized returns in real estate investing. Let's dive in. Struggling to find good multifamily deals?

#158: Why The Phrase "If You Find a Good Deal, Money Will Find You" is Total BS

In this episode, I'm discussing a common misconception in the real estate industry - the idea that if you find a great deal, the money will automatically come to you.  While finding a good deal is important, it's not enough to secure funding. Investors need to know and trust the individual proposing the deal, and it's up to us as sellers to establish credibility and build a network of investors.Struggling to find good multifamily deals?
