Host Tate Siemer welcomes Christopher Huffman, who brings his experienced and informed perspective to the "Guys". While none of us knows how things will play out, we have control over certain aspects of our lives and businesses. A few takeaways:There is so much good and so much opportunity in the market. There are sellers that are going to NEED US.There will be more deals, but prices won't come down much due to low interest rates keeping cap rates compressed.Keep your feet moving. Stay in connection with your key relationships.Be an apprentice for a successful investor. Work for someone for free. What value can you bring to a team like Christopher's or mine?The S.H.A.R.P.E. ratio: adjusted returns based on volatility and risk. Multi-family assets are at the top of the list, they weather storms VERY well. They provide great returns, even in a recession (usually) and have a very low level of volatility.Joe Fairless-"The Best Ever Apartment Syndication" Book

Tate goes solo on location to Albuquerque and sits down with investor Shawn Winslow to discuss global events as they've been developing before our eyes. We recorded this hours after the Governor of Massachusetts declared a state of emergency. Shawn was about to board a plane for Boston, so the impact was hitting home. Our thoughts are with all who are suffering with illness and/or fear. Its a distinctly intense time in our history. We hope to continue to be a positive contribution to people, especially our passive investors and residents of our communities.Our apologies for the mediocre audio quality. We pride ourselves on technical mastery and this recording was made in less than ideal conditions. We'll be back next week with great audio and content!PLEASE log on to Apple Podcasts to leave a review: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-apartment-guys-podcast/id1500967265
