E393 - Why Perfect Systems Are More Effective Than Perfect Employees Feb 23, 2022

Show notes

As entrepreneurs, we often find ourselves in a situation where even our loftiest goals seem more attainable than a good night's sleep.

Although it may seem like sacrificing sleep and obsessing about productivity is the only way to achieve high growth in your business, today’s guest shows us what you actually need to focus on to scale your business to the next level.

<<>>

Today we are joined by Bob Fraser, the Co-Founder and Principal at Aspen Funds, a private real estate investment fund manager. Before founding Aspen Funds, Bob grew his tech start-up from 2 to 300 employees in five years, becoming one of the largest venture companies in the midwest.

In this episode, we are going to discuss…

How to use systems and KPIs to unlock exponential growth within your business.
Why passive investors should look for scalable systems within a sponsor’s business before making an investment decision.
What personality tests and hiring tactics Bob uses to ensure a potential employee will fit into his company’s culture.
Bob’s transition from being a computer geek who raised $100k from his mom to a business operations expert who raised $44m in venture capital.

<<>>

If you are a passive investor who wants to ensure that the sponsors you choose are built to last, or you are an entrepreneur who wants to perfect the systems that will allow you to scale, Bob’s insights may be exactly what you need.

E392 - TT - Planning For The Unknown - The Future Of Interest Rates And Multifamily Feb 22, 2022

Show notes

It’s no secret that we are entering a period in which interest rates are rising. On the other hand, multifamily valuations have seen amazing growth and cap rates have continued to tick downwards.

So…what does this all mean for multifamily investments going forward?

To help investors to demystify interest rates and how to think about the market right now, Robert Ritzenthaler, CEO of REM Capital was today’s guest and he shed some light on this topic.

As a multifamily investor who invested through the global financial crisis, and as someone who’s been a long-time student of the interest rate environment, it’s clear that Robert has perspectives that are worth considering.

Follow along and listen to learn about…

What to expect for interest rates in the near term (12-24 months) and what data to track
What would need to happen with interest rates for multifamily investors and operators to get into trouble, and what mitigating factors are in place
How to think about fixed agency financing vs. floating rate debt fund financing
Why increasing interest rates may not necessarily be a bad thing for real estate investors

Given where we’re at in the cycle and what markets are currently experiencing from an interest rate standpoint, this conversation is timely and includes important information for you to consider before making your next multifamily investment.

To Your Freedom,

Tyler Lyons

E389 - What Does It Take To Survive A Real Estate Recession Feb 16, 2022

Show notes

If you’ve recently heard stories of real estate operators selling properties for twice what they paid for them just a few short years earlier, you’re probably asking the same questions MANY real estate entrepreneurs are asking…

How long can this last?

Will the Fed inadvertently cause a recession?

Where will my money be safe?

However, what if there was a way for you to be the master of your own fate and ensure that you achieve asymmetric returns regardless of where we are in the market cycle?

<<>>

Today, we are joined by Mark Shuler, President of Shuler Group Real Estate Investments, and Josh Welsh, Founder of Three Pillars Capital Group. Mark and Josh have amassed over $300M in assets under management after only seven years in the business.

In this episode, we discuss…

Why Josh and Mark originally focused 100% of their efforts on Houston, and why they are contemplating venturing outside of that market
The key success factors that differentiate the operators who will survive in any market from the speculators who won’t last the rest of the decade
What trends are essential to look at when searching for opportunities in tertiary markets
A ludicrous offer in Houston that Mark and Josh were outbid by

<<>>

If you are a passive investor who wants to find operators that can weather any financial storms or an active investor who wants to have a long and successful career, you do not want to miss this value-packed episode.

E388 - TT - Investing With Your Tribe Feb 15, 2022

Show notes

Most real estate investors start out investing in real estate as a “single player” and as they evolve, learn that it can be much more advantageous to approach it as a “multiple player” activity.

Real estate investing as a team sport is something that we’ve talked about before on the show, primarily through the lens of investing in real estate private placements. I’m a huge believer of the potential for solid risk-adjusted returns, investing in private placements with strong deal sponsors who have a demonstrated track record.

I believe in this so much that I’ve personally invested in many of these types of opportunities over the years.

Today’s guest brings a new spin to investing as a multiple player activity, by investing with your tribe.

Travis Smith happened upon investing with his tribe by accident many years ago and soon thereafter, started Tribevest to make it easier for investors to invest with their tribes. Tribevest is a platform that makes it easy to invest as a group and do deals together. Travis started his career with Morgan Stanley but realized the most direct path to wealth and financial freedom wasn’t through the public stock markets but by taking ownership in real assets.

Follow along and listen to learn about…

Establishing a tribe that is ready to invest in real estate in as little as 48 hours
Leveraging the power of tribes to unlock passive investment opportunities
How he and his brothers leveraged their tribe to invest in a racehorse, that eventually went on to win numerous awards

Investing using a tribe can be a great way to diversify risk, and to unlock opportunities for passive investments, including potential enhanced economics, that might not otherwise be available to you. Make sure to this to this fascinating episode to learn more!

To Your Freedom,

Tyler Lyons
