    enJune 22, 2018

    About this Episode



    Coaching and Counseling with James Eng. Today on the podcast, James discusses the importance of networking at LIVE APARTMENT investing & educational themed events. You want to accelerate your knowledge level? Start attending apartment investing conferences, local apartment investing Meetup’s, and join a apartment education/ mentoring group.
    If you are new and just getting into the Multifamily Business...you must expend the energy and go out and meet your future investing partners, listing agents, and bankers at live networking events. They are not going to come to your house or office.
    James gives some examples on where you can go to network with other LIKE MINDED individuals.
    Why attend LIVE events? Sponsors have two jobs. 1) Identify investing opportunities and 2) raise equity. Also, by attending LIVE events you can network with listing agents, other sponsors and deal makers, and bankers to uncover current data on the market that you won’t read online.

    EPS 300 - Your BRIDGE LOAN is coming due! What can you do? Can you qualify for an extension? Can those BRIDGE TERMS be modified?

    These bridge loans are quirky…because all loan documents initially agreed upon (between lender attorney and borrower attorney) are like snowflakes. Every set of loan documents are different…they are not promulgated forms like Fannie loan documents. Some language added…some language subtracted. What does that mean when you are negotiating an extension? Listen to attorney Shameer Soni on what he suggests when speaking with your Bridge lender.

    EPS 299 - Live from the 2024 National Multifamily Housing Council Meeting in San Diego. What did we learn?

    With over 10,000 apartment investors, lenders, general partners, property management companies, and apartment builders… this is the biggest annual event for the apartment industry called NMHC. What was discussed? Well…the biggest take aways are: from the lenders…”we are not at the bottom of the cycle: more distress is coming!” The sales brokers said…”now, is a great time to buy.” The buyers said…”I will only buy with positive leverage on stabilized NOI and I want at least a 6 cap +”. The sellers said…”I won’t look at an offer higher than at a 5.25% cap…find another buyer, please.” The limited partners are saying…”how much more capital calls are coming?” Yes…lots of opinions at the conference.

    ASK MIKE MONDAYS: “Michael, how big of an impact will this recent REDUCTION of interest rates have on the apartment industry?”

    ASK MIKE MONDAYS: “Michael, how big of an impact will this recent REDUCTION of interest rates have on the apartment industry?”

    Apartment investing has been challenged in the last two years…with rising interest rates on both short term and long-term rates. The 10-year Treasury spiked up to 5% just 90 days ago…and is now down 110 basis points; that’s a large move….SO what effect will that have on apartment investing? Michael chats about what challenges and opportunities he is observing today.
