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

A timely question; Michael and his team are currently assuming a FHA loan. FHA is a federally guaranteed program under the government’s Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). FHA Loans can be used for the purchase/refinance as well as the construction/ substantial rehabilitation of multifamily or healthcare properties. Loans are non-recourse (except standard carve-outs) and rates are very competitive with 35-40 year fixed terms and amortizations. FHA are available nationwide and are available for any market (primary, secondary, tertiary). Michael describes some of the benefits and challenges with FHA financing of large apartment buildings.

Typically, your lender brings in 75-80% of the capital needed to purchase an apartment property. Obviously the lender is very important to helping you complete the transaction. A lender term sheet gives you a rough indication of what rates and leverage could be. Michael discusses the basics of a lender term sheet. Paul also discusses the challenges of the GREEN PROGRAM in the future. FIND OUT-UP FRONT- if the seller has already implemented a utility savings program on the property. The GREEN PROGRAM rewards borrowers for investing in smart energy and water-saving improvements for a refinance, acquisition, or supplemental financing with a lower interest rate and more loan dollars. Something to be aware of: If the seller had previously completed the work that will save 20% in water or energy costs for either the landlord or the tenant; the new buyer may be challenged to find additional utility savings. If no additional savings are found by the energy audit, you will not get the interest rate savings or addition

Craig Brown is an attorney and expert on educating clients on the benefits and risks of a TAX DEFERRED EXCHANGE. He has closed thousands of transactions and will give you specific advice for your 1031 exchange. Important Considerations for an Exchange: A) Exchanges must be completed within strict time limits. The Exchanger has 45 days from the date the relinquished property sale closes to identify potential replacement properties. The purchase of replacement property must be completed within 180 days after closing of the sale of the relinquished property. B) Identification of potential replacement properties must be specific and unambiguous, in writing, signed by the Exchanger, and delivered to a Qualified Intermediary. The list of identified potential replacement properties cannot be changed after the 45th day; the Exchanger must acquire from the list of identified properties or the exchange will fail. C) To avoid payment of capital gain taxes, the Exchanger should follow three general rules; 1) purchase a r

Gene Trowbridge is an attorney that specializes in helping clients raise investor money through syndication. If you are really rich, you can buy apartments all by yourself. But, for most of us, we must pool our money together called a syndication. The government has specific rules that syndicators must follow. The sponsor or syndicator is the person (or group of people) who sets up the investment structure, brings together the pool of investors, oversees and manages the investment, and ultimately through their efforts generates a profit for the investors. Gene describes some of the gotchas that syndicators must know before they start to raise investors money. You will want to take notes in this high content podcast.

John Bollinger wants to own an empire of apartment units….by 2022…he wants 10,000 units. He started several years ago buying a duplex. He lived on one-side and rented the other side. He got a little taste of being a landlord. He liked having a small “cash register” or a tenant helping him achieve financial independence. Over the next few years, he bought several duplexes and four-plexes and then put together his own repair crew to rehab his properties. He then bought a 25 unit apartment building in the small town of Dilley, Texas. It was the only apartment building in the small town of Dilley. He liked the real estate investing business and wanted to make a career out of it. He reduced his hours at work and increased his hours into “his multifamily business.” Today, John owns 174 units. His current portfolio is two assets -110 units in Victoria and 64 units in Kingsville, Texas. He manages his own properties. Listen on how he acquired these assets and what he wants to pursue in the future. To contact John Bo

Ken & Wind Yue own hundreds of apartment units. They could not have purchased so many units without the help of happy equity partners. How do you make your equity partners happy? You have to be transparent. How you treat your partner AFTER you have taken their money is critical for your future success.

Mike gives his insight on what’s going on in multifamily in DFW. He also discusses the impact of higher labor costs for apartment rehabs due to Hurricane Harvey in south Texas.

Mit Scott and Greg Ford are business partners in the ownership of a large apartment building in Irving, Texas. They originally started with purchasing single family homes, then became passive investors in other people’s transactions and now own a large apartment building- while still maintaining their full time jobs. Ricardo asked Mit: What appealed to you most about multifamily in comparison to single family? Mit thought that you could create ‘greater value’ in a multifamily acquisition than in a single family purchase. Your house is going to be worth relatively the same as your neighbor’s home regardless of the finish out or appliances. Your home value will be based on other closed sales of similar homes in the submarket. In the multifamily arena, the value of that business is based on how much income you can generate. The higher the Net Operating Income (NOI) the greater the value you will create on your apartment investment. Mit gives an example on how they created additional value by giving tenants the o
