How Values-Based Decision Making Provided Us Clarity On When To Sell One Of Our Multifamily Properties
“Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.” - Anais Nin In this episode, Jake and Gino discuss how values-based decision making has impacted a tough choice they had to recently make in their real estate investing business. They recently sold a multifamily property in Louisville, KY, which is a rare occurrence as they typically like to hold assets for the long term. There were some changes in the state of Kentucky that did not align with their values. George Washington said “Freedom and Property Rights and inseparable. You can’t have one without the other.” We value freedom and property rights and therefore, it was time for us to walk away. We challenge you to begin creating core values for your business, if you haven’t already. If a situation arises that is not in alignment with your values, then you can act on it and continue to live by those values. Key Insights: 00:00 Introduction 01:00 Why values-based decision making 02:01 Non-alignment with your core values can cost you dearly 03:42 How to figure out your core values 06:18 How Jake & Gino apply values-based decision making in their Multifamily deals/transactions 11:40 The 100 Year Mindset 14:38 “Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.” - Anais Nin 19:15 Your happiness with your spouse is most important 21:10 You need clarity to design your life 23:20 “We see the world, not as it is, but as we are──or, as we are conditioned to see it.” - Stephen R. Covey Check out the podcast to learn how values-based decisions can help you transform your life too.

Understanding Your Rent Roll in Commercial Real Estate Investing
Mike Taravella discusses the importance of understanding your rent roll as a buyer and an owner. Key Information: #1. Understand your occupancy! If you are getting agency debt you need 90% for 90 days! Get a report if it is not on the rent roll. As an owner, do your reviews to make sure your PM is operating efficiently and your turnover is low. #2. Market Rents What are the true market rents? Do your own due diligence to prove out the comps provided. As an owner, keep track of the rents in your market to know when you need to raise them. You NOI relies on it! #3. Actual Rent Charged Know how long it should take to get to market rents… hint… it isn’t overnight! Your loss to lease is the difference between your rents and the market. Know where you are and are you executing your business plan? #4. Lease to and Lease From See where the value add is when people have been there for a long time! How close are all the leases? If they are all in the same month, that could be a mass exodus of your property. #5, Understand the balances As for your 30-60-90 day delinquency reports to understand where the property is. As an owner, who is paying and who is not? Add a narrative as to why someone is past due for understanding the story and potential eviction support. Pro tip: Know your rent roll, understand your takeover plan, and make sure you are capitalized!
