WBP - Why Multifamily Investors Must Understand Demographic Trends W/ Chris Porter Jan 21, 2021

Show notes

This episode is meant for all the real estate investors who wish to understand the key demographic trends that drive growth in the markets and those who want to make informed real estate investing decisions.

In this episode, Jake and Gino enter a free-wheeling discussion with the doctor of demography – none other than Chris Porter, the co-author of “Big Shifts Ahead: Demographic Clarity For Business”.

Here are some of the key takeaways:

A multifamily investor must understand the demographic trends in the market he or she wants to operate in. Be it government policies, economic and business environment, jobs scenario, migration, immigration and so on.
Demographics determine the degree of your multifamily investing success. Demographic trends can be overwhelming, misleading, confusing, conflicting, and difficult to predict. Not anymore.
The biggest demographic shifts since the baby boom continue to create opportunities and present challenges. America has more people in their early 20s and early 60s than ever before.
In a post-Covid world, it is more rational to look at the current trends instead of predictions as it is quite uncertain how the future shapes up.
The multifamily real estate market is witnessing an uptick in housing prices in certain locations, the demand is getting stronger and the supply is quite limited.
This includes the South and the South-East parts of the US that are going to witness growth, due to business-friendly environment and the jobs being created in the region.
The heavy reliance on migration and immigration in the past decades is going to be affected somehow in the coming years. In a knowledge economy, people can work from anywhere and this may encourage people to move towards more cost-efficient locations.
While migration within the country may increase, immigration from the other countries may be low. This would impact the home buying and renting activities.

Excerpts from the ‘Big Shifts Ahead’:

Four Big Influencers

Four Big Influencers explain why those born in different decades behave so differently, and help explain the big shifts ahead:

New technologies

Seven Biggest Opportunities

Burns and Porter devote a chapter to each of the seven biggest opportunities, forecast the future of each, and provide a framework to shift strategy when unexpected changes occur.

Working women
Affluent immigrants
Workaholic retirees
Delayed young adults
The Sharing economy
Southern growth
Urban life moving to the suburbs

MFZ - Strengthening Your Marriage With Julia & Gino Jan 19, 2021

Show notes

Julia and Gino share with the listeners what has helped them strengthen their relationship the past twenty plus years. And we know that Gino needed a LOT of help. But, he loved his wife and was willing to look at his shortcomings and become a better husband and father.

Some of Julia’s recommendations included:

Choose to love each other even when you are struggling.
Always answer the phone when your spouse is calling.
Make time together a priority.
Surround yourself with friends who will support your marriage.
Make laughter the soundtrack of marriage.
Marriage isn’t 50/50. Sometimes, one of the spouses has to pick up the slack.

The marriage outline includes Awareness, Vision, Assessment, and Obstacles. Questions that you need to ask yourself:

Where am I now?
Where do I think my spouse is now?
What does our marriage look like?
What needs to change in myself?
What are we willing to start doing or give up to achieve this outcome?
What is in the way of change?
Am I being honest with myself?

We are all the authors of our lives, and we can write the script of a beautiful marriage, but we need to work on it daily. As Julia likes to say, a “perfect” marriage is just two imperfect people who refuse to give up on each other.”

RCRE - Looking At The Larger Picture with Justin Spaulding Jan 13, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, Justin Spaulding highlights some of the key components of multifamily real estate deal structuring and financing.

Justin has been active in real estate since 2009. In 2012 he founded SG Realty, LLC. Since then he has raised more than $12,800,000 of 3rd party investor funds and successfully invested 100% of funds into cash flow producing property - his largest being a 199 unit apartment community.

As an example of other acquisitions, in 2016 he closed on a $1,200,000 self-storage facility and on a multifamily asset purchase of $6,000,000 as well as a $1,200,000 operating business.

Some of the key takeaways from this Podcast include the following:

When bad stuff happens and there is fear and panic in the market, smart investors should be able to expand, not shrink.
Every real estate deal is unique in itself and should be structured given its distinct nature.
It is in your ability to solve investors' problems and dilemma that leads to a stronger deal flow.
When it comes to multifamily real estate deal financing, don't look at anything in isolation, whether it is price per unit, interest rates, cap rates, or any other factor. Look at the whole picture.
Look for ways to scale up. Hiring the right team and managing your resources efficiently is key to build up the necessary infrastructure for faster growth.
Learn how to create win-win for investors, residents and all stakeholders.

Investor Pro Tip: To structure a Multifamily Deal, try to look at both sides of the coin, as many angles as possible.

MNS - Women of Wheelbarrow Profits with Nicole Pendergrass Jan 12, 2021

Show notes

Nicole Pendergrass began ravenously consuming real estate investment education in 2010. She formed a private investment group focused on wholesaling in 2012 and in 2013 was a founding member and Acquisitions Chair for a group purchasing single family rentals in Detroit, Michigan.

In 2015 she purchased her first residential multifamily property and quickly realized that larger buildings would mitigate the risk of non-paying residents, among other benefits. This led her to joining Jake and Gino's Wheelbarrow Profits Academy and the Make It Happen Mastermind group to increase her network, resources and synergize her efforts with the education and guidance of those established in the space.

WBP - Harnessing Economic Trends For Smart Apartment Investing with Brian Beaulieu Jan 07, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, Brian Beaulieu talks about some of the most significant factors impacting the real estate investing trends, especially from the real estate economics and finance perspectives.

Brian Beaulieu has served as CEO and Chief Economist of ITR Economics™ since 1987, where he researches the use of business cycle analysis and economic forecasting as tools for improving profitability.

Brian has coauthored, with Alan Beaulieu, the books “Prosperity in the Age of Decline,” “Make Your Move,” and, for children, “But I Want It!”.

During the discussion, Brian shared how real estate investors can take advantage of the ongoing economic and business cycle without losing on the big picture. He explained the current state of the US economy covering the GDP, employment rate, interest rate and the other key indicators. He went on to answer whether or not the fiscal stimuli is going to uplift the scenario and whether there will be any negative impact of the excess availability of money in the market.

MFZ - 2020 Recap & Prepairing for An Amazing 2021 Jan 05, 2021

Show notes

In this week’s show, Julia & Gino share their trials and tribulations, as well as their successes during the year. What started out as a huge win for Gino to sell his restaurant of over twenty years, quickly turned into a scene out of the twilight zone with the onset of the pandemic.

There were so many learning lessons and opportunities that the Barbaro family experienced, such as expanding the Jake & Gino community, being able to host live events and bring their children to them, focus on more family time during the time they were shut in, and being held accountable to their goals and dreams by an amazing group of partners and friends.

To prepare for the upcoming year, Gino discussed how to create goals and a framework that athletes utilize to create clarity for their goals. Split up your goals into these three types of goals:

Outcome goals: The Why.
Performance goals: The What.
Process goals: The How.

Some other actions that listeners can take are “What are your 5 to thrive?” Gino had the honor of interviewing Luke Wren, a Tony Robbins speaker, who shared with the Jake & Gino community the concept of 5 To Thrive. What are the five words that describe you and how you identify. Gino listed his as:
