Old Capital Real Estate Investing Podcast with Michael Becker & Paul Peebles

Imagine this. You are in BEST and FINAL and about to be awarded a huge apartment building. It’s you and two other buying groups. You made the cut and now the seller must make the right decision. Who to choose? Are you the right buyer? Can you close? The seller has too much on the line to make the wrong pick. They want to talk to YOU! It’s the BUYER/SELLER call. Jakob Andersen with Newmark in Dallas goes through a CASE STUDY on what you should say and NOT say…when you are on that important CALL.

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.

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.

Apartment investing has been challenged in the last two years…with rising interest rates on both short term and long-term rates.

Michael chats about what challenges and opportunities he is observing today.

Property taxes, on commercial real estate, is usually the largest line item operating expense on your profit and loss statement. Your Net Operating Income (NOI) is dramatically effected by how much your property taxes go up. (They never seem to go down) In Texas…property taxes have been skyrocketing and causing hardship to profitability. Most commercial real estate investors hire an advocate to fight the taxing authorities for a lower annual tax bill. Mark Cantrell with Cantrell McCulloch is an expert on reducing property taxes in Texas.

Michael gives you insight on what his team focuses on when buying apartments in today’s wacky market. Michael is not soliciting for capital; but just gives an example on what type of pricing discount some buyers are able to achieve. Certain sellers are chasing a higher price on some unproven buying groups. If you are a seller, do you want to always go with the highest price…or Are you counting on certainty to close? Most realistic sellers, in today’s market, need certainty to close.

Are there too many general partner syndicators and not enough investors? Within the last 10 years…we have observed a lot of apartment transactions closed with the syndication investment model. As you know, a syndication model is like flying in an airplane. Pilot and passengers both perform critical roles to make a flight successful. The pilots are in the front of the airplane- they are the general partners- they are putting the deals together and making the operational decisions. The passengers in the back of the airplane… they are the limited partners. They are the investors in the deals that bring the bulk of the equity. Today, we have too many pilots and not enough passengers. We need more passengers (equity investors) to run a successful airline (apartment syndication.) Listen to the investment sales team at Rowan Multifamily Advisors in Dallas. They chat about recently closed transactions and why investors are buying or selling.

JESSUP: You want answers?
KAFFEE: I want the truth!
JESSUP: You can't handle the truth!
Well maybe…YOU can handle the truth. “It’s challenging to be an apartment investor these days.”
That’s the truth.
Not a lot of inventory is available, it is difficult to raise common equity, operating expenses are much higher and mortgage interest rates are up 500% from January 2022. Wow! Yet… some transactions are still being done. In today’s podcast we chat about what we are seeing in apartment investing land and what you should be paying attention to. Spending time with James “the professor” Eng is always enlightening.

Joey Tumminello with Marcus & Millichap’s Institutional Property Advisors Group shares his insight on what the “smart buyers” (REIT’s, pension funds, life insurance and large family offices) are buying or NOT buying. Institutional-grade real estate is Class A or Class A+ property that generally has minimal risk of deteriorating or becoming obsolete during the investment holding period because the properties are brand new, have state-of-the-art systems, and the best amenities. These type of buyers set the pace for the entire industry with buying or selling.
