Welcome to the Multi-FAMILY zone podcast, where business meets family. The hosts of the show, Julia and Gino Barbaro, have been married for over twenty years, and have six children.    Julia homeschools the children, and recently became a marriage and life coach to help couples become better communicators and help enrich their lives.  The couple is constantly asked about how they balance their entrepreneurial and real estate journey while raising their kids. The Multi-FAMILY zone was created to address these questions, along with a host of questions from the Jake and Gino community.    In this episode, Gino and Julia talk about Values. Life is about choices and values.  Our values reflect the things that matter the most to us. When we live our best life and our most authentic life, it is usually lived from our values.  Our values are an important part of the decision process and really define who we are as people. You can literally take your core values list and use them as a guide in your decision making process.  Your values become a guide for what you say “yes” to and what you say “no” to. A life that is in sync is a life that makes decisions consistent with one’s core values.    It would be very challenging to be able to set goals and achieve them without getting clarity on your values.   Questions or comments?

Dylan and Mike discuss why budgeting is so important and how to review your revenue and expenses.   The reason for budgeting is to create accountability for you and your property management team. By creating budgets that both agree on you can create a game plan and prevent expense creep. You will continue to improve by constantly monitoring your budgets.   The first step to budgeting is reviewing the current year’s performance. This will allow you to create a baseline and understand how the property is performing. This will also allow you to also reset your underwriting assumptions going forward.   Next you need to review your revenue nd see how the nature of the expenses. For revenue can you improve your rents to market rents or can you improve your occupancy. Can you increase other income by charging fees such as Pet Fees or Move-In Fees?    When reviewing expenses can you reduce the fixed, seasonal, or variable expenses? You can do this through negotiating and reaching out to your vendors. Review the rent roll to see how many move-outs will occur per month so you can see your turn costs. This will also allow you to create better baselines for renewals.   You need to compare your actuals and budgets with your initial proformas. This is important so you can see your investors’ returns.    Budgets are a tool that allows you to start the conversation on ways to improve the performance of the property.   Expert Pro Tip: Review your market assumptions and see if they appear reasonable with your performance. Example: Expenses per Unit.   Contact Information: MikeT@RandCRE.com Dylan@RandCRE.com    For more information/to connect with Rand CRE: www.randcre.com   To register to invest with us: https://invest.randpartnersllc.com/invexp/accounts/login/     Rand CRE's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/randcre Rand CRE's Twitter: https://twitter.com/randcre Rand CRE's Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/randcre Rand CRE's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/randcre   We're here to help create real estate  entrepreneurs...  About Jake & Gino: Jake & Gino are multifamily investors, operators, and owners who have created a vertically integrated real estate company.
