RCRE - New Year, New Budget Jan 01, 2020

Show notes

Dylan and Mike discuss why budgeting is so important and how to review your revenue and expenses.

The reason for budgeting is to create accountability for you and your property management team. By creating budgets that both agree on you can create a game plan and prevent expense creep. You will continue to improve by constantly monitoring your budgets.

The first step to budgeting is reviewing the current year’s performance. This will allow you to create a baseline and understand how the property is performing. This will also allow you to also reset your underwriting assumptions going forward.

Next you need to review your revenue nd see how the nature of the expenses. For revenue can you improve your rents to market rents or can you improve your occupancy. Can you increase other income by charging fees such as Pet Fees or Move-In Fees?

When reviewing expenses can you reduce the fixed, seasonal, or variable expenses? You can do this through negotiating and reaching out to your vendors. Review the rent roll to see how many move-outs will occur per month so you can see your turn costs. This will also allow you to create better baselines for renewals.

You need to compare your actuals and budgets with your initial proformas. This is important so you can see your investors’ returns.

Budgets are a tool that allows you to start the conversation on ways to improve the performance of the property.

Expert Pro Tip: Review your market assumptions and see if they appear reasonable with your performance. Example: Expenses per Unit.

RCRE - The Great Debate: Development vs. Multifamily with Sam Bates Dec 18, 2019

Show notes

Dylan Marma and Mike Taravella interviews Sam Bates who is a Principal of Trinity Capital Group.

City dictates the developments due to zoning, permits, and plans approved
Labor rates have been rising but has found material costs to decrease due to strategic partnerships
Sam looks to exit a property when syndicating in about 5 years
However, when working with a few investors he likes to hold indefinitely
Trinity Capital differentiates itself by systematizing and develop their niche in development
Be flexible and adaptable as a real estate investor
- Sam traded a plot of land for a RV park
Developments focus on IRR and Cash on Cash Returns, instead of cap rates
Most recent development Trinity is targeting a 5 year hold and 30% IRR
HUD loans require longer periods to process so always have backup and options
Investor paradigm for development deal: It takes 2 years to build and is generally a longer hold period compared to multifamily acquisitions
Multifamily Acquisitions
- Pros: You know what you are getting
- Cons: So competitive in the market
Always add value in a relationship
Expert Pro Tip: Always continue to learn with books, podcasts, and your network
